The Boiler Control 262 is a micro processor based control designed to maximize the comfort and efficiency of a hydronic heating system.
The control is designed to operate in two distinct modes.
MODE —1— (Two Stage Boiler & DHW) allows for the control of two separate on /off boiler stages (or one low / high fire) based on outdoor
air temperature, control for indirect Domestic Hot Water (DHW) generation and a Setpoint load. For single zone temperature control
with indoor temperature feedback, a Room Temperature Unit (RTU) or indoor sensor may be connected to the 262. Multiple zone
temperature control is achieved by using either a conventional thermostat system or by connecting a tekmar Zone Control to the 262.
MODE —2— is designed specifically for dedicated DHW applications. In Mode 2, the 262 can stage and rotate two on / off boiler stages
(or one low / high fire) in order to provide heat to a DHW storage system.
The 262 control includes a large Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) in order to view system status and operating information. The same LCD
is used when setting up and installing the control. Standard features include Equal Run Time Rotation, intelligent boiler operation, digital
temperature readouts, and pump exercising. With the addition of a monitoring feature, it is now possible to track pump and boiler running
hours, DHW tank temperature, outdoor and system high and low temperatures, boiler firing cycles, plus many other useful items.
Several energy saving features have been incorporated into the 262 such as Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD), DHW post purge,
system setback, DHW priority and an automatic differential for boiler operation.

The 262 uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) as the method of supplying information. You use the LCD in order to setup and monitor
the operation of your system. The 262 uses four push buttons (Menu, Item, , ) for selecting and adjusting settings. As you program
your control, record your settings in the actual settings column of the Adjust Menu. The table is found in the second half of this brochure.
All of the items displayed by the control are organized into various menus. These menus are
listed on the left hand side of the display (Menu Field). To select a menu, use the
button. By pressing and releasing the
available menu. Once a menu is selected, there will be a group of items that can be viewed
within that menu.
The abbreviated name of the selected item will be displayed in the item field of the display.
To view the next available item, press and release the
the last available item in a menu, pressing and releasing the
display to the first item in the selected menu.
To make an adjustment to a setting in the control, begin by selecting the appropriate menu
using the
and / or button to make the adjustment.
Additional information can be gained by observing the Status field of the LCD. The status field will indicate which of the control’s outputs
are currently active. Most symbols in the status field are only visible when the View Menu is selected.
When the Boiler Control 262 is powered up, the control displays the control type number in the LCD for 2 seconds. Next, the software
version is displayed for 2 seconds. Finally, the control enters into the normal operating mode and the LCD defaults to displaying the
current outdoor air temperature.
MODES OF OPERATION (MODE)
The Boiler Control 262 has two operating modes. The mode of operation
for which the control is to operate is selected in the
Mode 1
(MODE = —1—)
Mode 1 is designed for one or two stages of Heating, Domestic Hot
Water (DHW), and Setpoint operation.
Mode 2
(MODE = —2—)
Mode 2 is designed for dedicated DHW operation. In this mode, the 262
controls one or two stages of heat for DHW generation (see Section C3
Dedicated DHW).
Adjust Menu
.
STAGING
The 262 controls up to two stages in order to supply the required target
temperature. After each stage is turned on in the firing sequence, the
control waits a minimum amount of time before turning on the next stage.
The minimum time between stages is the total of the fire delay (FIRE DLY)
setting plus the minimum inter-stage delay selected by the boiler mass
(Boil MASS) setting. After the minimum time delay between stages has
expired, the 262 examines the control error to determine when the next
stage is to fire. The control error is determined using Proportional, Integral,
and Derivative (PID) logic.
Proportional
- compares the actual supply temperature to the boiler target
(Boil TRG) temperature. The colder the supply water temperature, the
sooner the next stage is turned on.
Integral
- compares the actual supply temperature to the Boil TRG
temperature over a period of time.
Derivative
- determines how fast or slow the supply water temperature is
changing. If the supply temperature is increasing slowly, the next stage is
turned on sooner. If the supply temperature is increasing quickly, the next
stage is turned on later, if at all.
Each stage has a minimum on time and a minimum off time.
FIRE DELAY (FIRE DLY)
The Fire Delay is the delay time that may occur between the time that the
262 closes a stage contact and the burner fires for that stage. This delay
is usually the result of burner pre-purge or other forms of time delay built
into the burner’s safety circuits.
BOILER MASS (Boil MASS)
The Boiler Mass setting allows the installer to adjust the control to the
thermal mass of different types of heat sources used.
The LITE setting is selected if the boiler(s) that is used has a low thermal mass. This means that the boiler(s) has a very small water
content and has very little metal in the heat exchanger. A boiler that has a low thermal mass comes up to temperature quite rapidly
when fired. This is typical of many copper fin-tube boilers. The minimum inter-stage delay for the LITE setting is two minutes.
Medium
The Medium setting is selected if the boiler(s) that is used has a medium thermal mass. This means that the boiler(s) either has a
large water content and a low metal content or a low water content and a high metal content. This is typical of many modern residential
cast iron boilers or steel tube boilers. The minimum inter-stage delay for the MED setting is four minutes.
Heavy
The Heavy setting is selected if the boiler(s) that is used has a high thermal mass. This means that the boiler(s) has both a large water
content and a large metal content. A boiler that has a high thermal mass is relatively slow in coming up to temperature. This is typical
of many commercial cast iron and steel tube boilers. The minimum inter-stage delay setting for the HEVY setting is six minutes.
BOILER DIFFERENTIAL (BOIL DIFF)
An on / off heat source must be operated with a differential in order to prevent short cycling. With the 262, either a fixed or an auto
differential maybe selected.
Fixed Differential
The boiler differential is divided around the Boil TRG temperature. The
first stage contact will close when the supply water temperature is 1/2 of
the differential setting below the Boil TRG temperature, and will open
when the supply water temperature is 1/2 of the differential setting above
the Boil TRG temperature. The second stage operates if the first stage
cannot bring the water temperature up to the Boil TRG temperature.
Auto Differential
If the Auto Differential is selected, the 262 automatically determines the
best differential as the load changes. This reduces potential short
cycling during light loads.

STAGE 1&2 (STAGE)
The stage 1 and 2 setting may be selected to AUTO or OFF. When AUTO
is selected, the stage is activated and the control operates the appropriate
boiler. When OFF is selected, the control does not fire the stage.
ROTATION (ROTATE)
The ROTATE item is an adjustable setting that is factory set at 48 hours.
The firing order of the boilers changes whenever one stage’s accumulated
running time exceeds the other stage’s accumulated running time by more
than the ROTATE setting. After each rotation, the stage with the least
running hours is the first to fire and the stage with the most running hours
is the last to fire. This function ensures that both stages receive equal
amounts of use. When this item is set to the OFF setting, Stage 1 is always
the first stage to fire.
BOILER PURGE (PURGE)
After the boiler demand is satisfied, the 262 continues to operate the boiler
pump (
Boil P1
, terminal 8) for a period of time. The length of time that the
boiler pump continues to run is adjustable (PURGE). This setting allows
purging of any excess heat out of the boiler after the burner is shut off. This
also helps to prevent the water in the boiler from flashing into steam after
the boiler is shut off. The boiler pump continues to run either until the
purging time has elapsed or the boiler supply (Boil SUP) temperature
drops more than a differential below the boiler minimum (Boil MIN) setting.
SETBACK (UNOCCUPIED)
To provide greater energy savings, the 262 has setback capability. With setback, the supply water temperature in the system is reduced
when the building is not used (AWAY) or when the building is UnOccupied. By reducing water temperature, air temperature in the space
can be reduced even when thermostat(s) are not turned down. This feature is enabled by setting the

EXERCISING (EXERCISE)
The 262 has a built in pump exercising function. The exercising period setting is adjustable and is factory set at 70 hours. If a pump output
on the control has not been operated at least once during every exercising period, the control turns on the output for 10 seconds. This
minimizes the possibility of the pump seizing during a long period of inactivity.

temperature and optionally indoor temperature. The control takes into account the type of terminal unit that the system is using. Since
different types of terminal units transfer heat to a space using different proportions of radiation, convection and conduction, the supply
water temperature must be controlled differently. Once the control is told what type of terminal unit is used, the control varies the supply
water temperature according to the type of terminal unit. This improves the control of the air temperature in the building.

TERMINAL UNITS (TERMINAL)
When using a
unit. The terminal unit determines the shape of the
to how the terminal unit delivers heat into the building space. The 262 provides for selection
between six different terminal unit types: two types of hydronic radiant floor heat, fancoil, fin–
tube convector, radiator, and baseboard.
Characterized Heating Curve
Hydronic Radiant Floor
HRF 1 is a heavy, or high mass, hydronic radiant floor system. This type of a hydronic radiant
floor is embedded in either a thick concrete or gypsum pour. This heating system has a large
thermal mass and is slow acting.
Hydronic Radiant Floor
HRF 2 is a light, or low mass, hydronic radiant floor system. Most commonly, this type of
radiant heating system is either attached to the bottom of a wood sub floor, suspended in
the joist space, or sandwiched between the subfloor and the surface. This type of radiant
system has a relatively low thermal mass and responds faster than a high mass system.
Fancoil
A fancoil terminal unit or air handling unit (AHU) consists of an hydronic heating coil and
either a fan or blower. Air is forced across the coil at a constant velocity by the fan or blower
and is then delivered into the building space.
Fin-tube Convector
A convector terminal unit is made up of a heating element encased in fins. This type of
terminal unit relies on the natural convection of air across the heating element to deliver
heated air into the space. The amount of natural convection is dependant on the supply
water temperature to the heating element and the room air temperature.

Radiator
A radiator terminal unit has a large heated surface that is exposed to the room. A radiator
provides heat to the room through radiant heat transfer and natural convection.
Baseboard
A baseboard terminal unit is similar to a radiator, but has a low profile and is installed at the
base of the wall. The amount of heat transferred by radiation from a baseboard is greater
than that from a fin-tube convector.
BOILER TARGET TEMPERATURE (BOIL TRG)
(

The Boil TRG temperature is determined from either the
temperature and optionally indoor temperature feed back. The control displays the temperature that it is currently trying to maintain as
the boiler supply temperature. If the control does not presently have a requirement for heat, it displays “- - -” in the LCD.

DHW demand
demand from an aquastat or an internal demand from a 10K tekmar sensor. If an external and
internal demand is present simultaneously, the control stops operation of the DHW.
External Demand
The 262 registers an external demand for DHW when a voltage between 24 and 240 V (ac)
is applied across the
or setpoint control is used as a switch in the DHW demand circuit. Once the 262 detects a
DHW demand, the

Internal Demand
The 262 registers an internal demand for DHW when a sensor is connected across the
and the
indirect DHW tank temperature. When MODE –1– is selected, if the temperature at the DHW
sensor drops 3˚F (1.5˚C) below the DHW TANK setting, the
in the LCD and the control operates as described below.
An advantage to using the DHW sensor is that the control can display the current DHW TANK
temperature and record the highest and lowest DHW TANK temperatures. Also, the 262 can
control the DHW temperature with more accuracy than when using an aquastat.

menu.
DHW Pump
If PUMP is selected as the DHW device, the 262 assumes that the DHW pump provides
adequate flow through both the DHW tank heat exchanger and the boiler(s). To provide heat
to the DHW tank, the 262 closes the
boiler(s) to provide a sufficient boil supply temperature to the DHW tank. If using a primary
loop with the DHW tank piped in primary / secondary, select DHW VALV.
DHW Valve

Section C2 —DHW Priority (Mode = —1—)
DHW PRIORITY (DHW PRI = BOIL)
It is often desirable to limit or even stop the flow of heat to the heating
system when the DHW tank calls for heat. This allows for a faster recovery
of the DHW tank. If DHW PRI is set to Boil, the boiler pump (P1) is turned
off on a call for DHW. This setting is available only if DHW THRU = PUMP
has been selected as the DHW device. If a valve is used as the DHW
device, DHW priority can not be used. Caution should be taken to ensure
that the flow rate of the DHW pump is adequate for both the DHW tank and
the boiler(s), as this will be the only pump providing flow through the
boiler(s).

DHW PRIORITY OVERRIDE
To prevent the building from cooling off too much or the possibility of a
potential freeze up during DHW priority, the 262 limits the amount of time
for DHW priority. As the outdoor air temperature becomes colder, the
length of time that the 262 provides DHW priority is reduced. Once the
allowed time for priority has elapsed, the 262 overrides the DHW priority
and operates DHW and heating simultaneously.
CONDITIONAL DHW PRIORITY
If the boiler supply temperature is maintained at or above the required
temperature during DHW generation, this indicates that the boiler(s) has
enough capacity for DHW and possibly heating as well. As long as the
boiler supply temperature is maintained near its target, DHW and heating
occurs simultaneously.
DHW POST PURGE
After the
either the DHW pump or the DHW valve and the boiler pump. This purges the residual heat from the boiler(s) into the DHW tank. The
262 continues this purge for a maximum of four minutes or until the boiler supply water temperature drops 20˚F (11˚C) below the DHW
Boil TRG temperature. The 262 also stops the purge if the boiler supply temperature drops below the current Boil TRG temperature.
DHW Demand
DHW MIXING PURGE
After DHW operation, the boiler(s) is extremely hot. At the same time, the heating zones may
have cooled off considerably after being off for a period of time. To avoid thermally shocking
the boiler(s) after DHW priority, the 262 shuts off the boiler(s), but continues to operate the
DHW while restarting the heating system. This allows some of the DHW return water to mix
with the cool return water from the zones and temper the boiler return water.
