Radio Frequency Interference

Read Manual and all product labels BEFORE using the equipment. Do not use unless you know the safe and proper operation of this equipment. Keep this Manual available for easy access by all users. Replacement Manuals are available at tekmarControls.com

•

It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that this control is safely installed according to all applicable codes and standards.

•

Improper installation and operation of this control could result in damage to the equipment and possibly even personal injury or death.

•

This control is not intended for use as a primary limit control. Other controls that are intended and certified as safety limits must be placed into the control circuit.

The control includes a fuse and transformer that are serviceable. Do not attempt to service any other parts of the control. Attempting to service the control voids the warranty.

• Strip all wiring to a length of 3/8 in. or 10 mm for all terminals.

• A circuit breaker or power disconnect that provides power to the control should be located nearby and clearly labeled.

•

Refer to the current and voltage ratings at the back of this manual before connecting devices to this control.

The installer must ensure that this control and its wiring are isolated and/or shielded from strong sources of electromagnetic noise. Conversely, this Class B digital apparatus complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. However, if this control does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which is determined by turning the control off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by reorientating or relocating the receiving antenna, relocating the receiver with respect to this control, and/or connecting the control to a different circuit from that to which the receiver is connected.

Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.

Installation

Installing the Enclosure

To prevent the risk of personal injury and/or death, make sure power is not applied to the thermostat until it is fully installed and ready for final testing. All work must be done with power to the circuit being worked on turned off.

Please be aware local codes may require this thermostat to be installed or connected by an electrician.

• Keep the control dry. Avoid potential leakage onto the control.

• Maintain relative humidity less than 90% in a non-condensing environment.

• Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures beyond 32-122°F (0-50°C).

•

Install away from equipment, appliances, or other sources of electrical interference.

•

Install to allow easy access for wiring, viewing, and adjusting the display screen.

• Install approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) off the finished floor.

• Locate the control near pumps if possible.

• Provide a solid backing which the enclosure can be mounted to. Example: plywood or wall studs.

• Use the conduit knockouts provided on the upper, lower, and back of the enclosure for wiring.

Boiler Operation

Power

• On when 115 V (ac) is applied.

• Off when power disconnected or transformer fuse is blown.

Zone 1

• On when the thermostat calls for heat.

•

On during pump post purge after the thermostat stops calling for heat and the Post Purge DIP switch is on.

• Off when thermostat 1 not calling for heat and post purge expired.

Exercising DIP Switch

ON: Each circulator pump is energized for 30 seconds every 72 hours. OFF: Circulator pump exercising disabled.

Post Purge DIP Switch

ON: After the last thermostat stops calling for heat, the last circulator pump remains on for 2 minutes to purge heat from the boiler to the zone.

OFF: Post purge disabled.

When a thermostat calls for heat by closing the R and W terminals:

• 115 V (ac) is applied to the corresponding circulator pump.

• The corresponding zone indicator LED is turned on. When the thermostat stops calling for heat:

• The pump is shut off immediately if the Post Purge DIP switch is off.

• The pump operates for 2 minutes if the Post Purge DIP switch is on.

When a thermostat calls for heat by closing the R and W terminals:

• The boiler end switch XX is closed to fire the boiler.
