Additional information can be gained by observing the status field and pointers 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 Mixing Control 361 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.
OPERATION
The 361 uses a variable speed injection pump to control the supply water temperature to a hydronic system. The supply water
temperature is based on either the current outdoor temperature, or a fixed setpoint.
Outdoor Reset
When the outdoor design (OUTDR DSGN) setting is not set to OFF, the
361 calculates a mixing supply temperature based on the outdoor air
temperature. The 361 uses a
optionally indoor temperature feedback from an indoor sensor in this
calculation.
Characterized Heating Curve
and
Terminal Unit
Indoor Design
Design Supply
Outdoor Design
Setpoint Control
When the outdoor design (OUTDR DSGN) setting is set to OFF, the
361 supplies a fixed mixing supply temperature equal to the MIX
TARGET setting. An outdoor sensor is not required during this mode
of operation.
VARIABLE SPEED
A standard wet rotor circulator is connected to the 361 on the
and 8). The 361 increases or decreases the power output to the circulator when there is a
mixing demand. The circulator speed varies to maintain the correct mixed supply water
temperature at the mix sensor. For correct sizing and piping of the variable speed driven
circulator, refer to essay E 021. A visual indication of the current variable speed output is
displayed in the LCD in the form of a horizontal bar graph.
BOILER PROTECTION (BOIL MIN)
The 361 is capable of providing boiler protection from cold mixing system
return water temperatures. If the boiler sensor temperature is cooler than
the BOIL MIN setting while the boiler is firing, the 361 reduces the output
to the variable speed injection pump. This limits the amount of cool return
water to the boiler, and allows the boiler temperature to recover. This
feature can only be used if a boiler sensor is installed.
The 361 has a built-in exercising function. If a pump has not been operated at least once every 3 days, the control turns on the output
for 10 seconds. This minimizes the possibility of a pump seizing during a long period of inactivity. While the control is exercising, the
Test
LED flashes.
Note:
The exercising function does not work if power to the control or pumps is disconnected.
SETBACK (UNOCCUPIED)
To provide greater energy savings, the 361 has a setback capability. With setback, the
supply water temperature in the system is reduced when the building is unoccupied. By
reducing the supply water temperature, air temperature in the space may be reduced even
when thermostat(s) are not turned down. Any time the
terminals are shorted together, the control operates in the unoccupied (Night) mode. When
in the unoccupied (Night) mode, the UNOCC segment is displayed in the LCD. The 361
adjusts the supply water temperature based on the UNOCC settings made in the control.
This feature has no effect when the control is used as a setpoint control.
FACTORY DEFAULTS
The control comes preset with several factory defaults. These defaults are based on the terminal unit selection (see section B2). To
fine-tune building requirements, these defaults may be changed. If a factory default value for a terminal unit is changed, the terminal
unit number will flash when selected in the ADJUST menu.
To reload the factory defaults listed in section B2, power down the control and wait for 10 seconds. Power up the control while
simultaneously holding the

MIXING DEMAND
A mixing demand is required in order for the 361 to provide heat. A mixing demand is
generated by applying a voltage between 24 and 240 V (ac) across the
terminals (1 and 2). Once voltage is applied, the
LCD. If the 361 is not in WWSD, the 361 closes the
a MIX TARGET supply temperature based on the outdoor air temperature and settings. If
required, the 361 operates the boiler in order to provide heat to the variable speed injection pump.
SYSTEM PUMP OPERATION (
The system pump contact (
pump segment is displayed in the LCD. After the mixing demand has been satisfied, the 361 continues to operate the system pump for
20 seconds. This allows some residual heat to be purged out to the heating system. During WWSD, the system pump is operated based
on the exercise function.
INDOOR SENSOR
An indoor sensor may be used in order to provide indoor temperature feedback. The indoor sensor is connected to the
terminals (15 and 17). In addition, power must be applied to the
DEMAND section. With the indoor sensor connected, the 361 is able to sense the actual room temperature. Indoor temperature
feedback fine-tunes the supply water temperature in the mixing system to maintain room temperature. To adjust the room temperature,
use the ROOM OCC or ROOM UNOCC setting in the ADJUST menu at the control.
If a multiple zone system is used with an indoor sensor, proper placement of the indoor sensor is essential. The indoor sensor should
be located in an area which best represents the average air temperature of the zones.

, terminal 5) closes whenever there is a mixing demand and the 361 is not in WWSD. The system
When used as a mixing reset control, the 361 varies the supply water temperature based on the outdoor air 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.
MIXING TARGET TEMPERATURE (MIX TARGET)
When used as a mixing reset control, the MIX TARGET temperature is calculated from the
Characterized Heating Curve
settings,
outdoor air temperature and optionally, indoor air temperature. When used as a setpoint control, the installer sets the MIX TARGET
temperature. The control displays the temperature that it is currently trying to maintain as the mixing supply temperature. If the control
does not have a mixing demand, “- - -” is displayed as the MIX TARGET.
Section B2: Installer
OUTDOOR DESIGN (OUTDR DSGN)
The OUTDR DSGN is the outdoor air temperature that is the typical
coldest temperature of the year where the building is located. This temperature is used when doing heat loss calculations for the building. If a
cold outdoor design temperature is selected, the mixing supply temperature rises gradually as the outdoor temperature drops. If a warm
outdoor design temperature is selected, the mixing supply temperature
rises rapidly as the outdoor temperature drops.
SETPOINT OPERATION (MIX TARGET)
For setpoint operation, set the OUTDR DSGN to OFF. The MIX TARGET becomes the setpoint supply temperature that the control is to
maintain. The MIX TARGET temperature is set by the installer in the
ADJUST menu. An outdoor sensor is not required during this mode of
operation.
ROOM OCC & UNOCC (ROOM)
The ROOM is the desired room temperature for the mixing zones, and
it provides a parallel shift of the
temperature desired by the occupants is often different from the design
indoor temperature (MIX INDR). If the room temperature is not correct,
adjusting the ROOM setting increases or decreases the amount of heat
available to the building. A ROOM setting is available for both the occupied (Day) and unoccupied (Night) modes.

convector, radiator and baseboard. When a terminal unit is selected, the control automatically loads the design supply temperature
(MIX DSGN), maximum supply temperature (MIX MAX) and minimum supply temperature (MIX MIN). The factory defaults are listed
below. To change defaults, refer to section B3. If a default has been changed, refer to section A to reload the factory defaults.

High Mass Radiant (1)
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.
Default values: MIX DSGN = 120°F (49°C), MIX MAX = 140°F (60°C), MIX MIN = OFF
Low Mass Radiant (2)
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 sub-floor and the surface.
This type of radiant system has a relatively low thermal mass and responds faster than
a high mass system.
Default values: MIX DSGN = 140°F (60°C), MIX MAX = 160°F (71°C), MIX MIN = OFF
Fancoil (3)
A fancoil terminal unit or air handling unit (AHU) consists of a 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.
Default values: MIX DSGN = 190°F (88°C), MIX MAX = 210°F (99°C),
MIX MIN = 100°F (38°C)
Fin–tube Convector (4)
A convector terminal unit is made up of a heating element with fins on it. 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 to the space is dependant
on the supply water temperature to the heating element and the room air temperature.
Default values: MIX DSGN = 180°F (82°C), MIX MAX = 200°F (93°C), MIX MIN = OFF
Radiator (5)
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.
Default values: MIX DSGN = 160°F (71°C), MIX MAX = 180°F (82°C), MIX MIN = OFF
Baseboard (6)
A baseboard terminal unit is similar to a radiator, but has a low profile and is installed at
the base of the wall. The proportion of heat transferred by radiation from a baseboard is
greater than that from a fin-tube convector.
Default values: MIX DSGN = 150°F (66°C), MIX MAX = 170°F (77°C), MIX MIN = OFF
Section B3: Advanced
MIXING INDOOR (MIX INDR)
The MIX INDR is the room temperature used in the original heat loss calculations for the building. This setting establishes the
beginning of the
Characterized Heating Curve
MIXING DESIGN (MIX DSGN)
The MIX DSGN temperature is the supply water temperature required to heat the mixing zones when the outdoor air is as cold as the
OUTDR DSGN temperature.
MIXING MAXIMUM (MIX MAX)
The MIX MAX sets the highest water temperature that the control is allowed to calculate as the MIX TARGET temperature. If the
control does target the MIX MAX setting, and the MIX temperature is near the MIX MAX, the MAX segment will be displayed in the
LCD while either the MIX TARGET temperature or the MIX temperature is being viewed.
The MIX MIN is the lowest temperature that the control is allowed to use
as a MIX TARGET temperature. During mild conditions, if the 361 calculates a MIX TARGET temperature that is below the MIX MIN setting,
the MIX TARGET temperature is adjusted to match the MIX MIN setting. During this condition, the MIN segment will be displayed in the
LCD when either the MIX TARGET or MIX temperature is being viewed.
If an indoor sensor is used, and the 361 is operating at the MIX MIN
temperature, the system pump is cycled using Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) with a 15 minute cycle length. By cycling the system pump and
controlling the flow of supply water, the control provides an average
supply water temperature to the system. This average temperature is
equal to the original MIX TARGET. This minimizes overheating of the
zone while the control is operating at the MIX MIN temperature.
WARM WEATHER SHUT DOWN (WWSD) OCC & UNOCC
When the outdoor air temperature rises above the WWSD setting, the
361 turns on the WWSD segment in the display. When the control is in
Warm Weather Shut Down, the
Mixing Demand
pointer is displayed, if
there is a demand. However, the control does not operate the heating
system to satisfy this demand. If the control is in setpoint mode, the
WWSD feature is not functional.

BOILER OPERATION
When the 361 determines that boiler operation is required, the
closed, the burner segment in the LCD is displayed.
BOILER MINIMUM (BOIL MIN)
Most boilers require a minimum water temperature in order to prevent flue gas condensation. The BOIL MIN adjustment is set to the
boiler manufacturer’s minimum recommended operating temperature. Only when the boiler temperature is measured by a boiler
sensor can the 361 provide boiler protection. In this case, when the boiler is firing and the boiler temperature is below the BOIL MIN
setting, the 361 turns on the MIN segment and reduces the heating load on the boiler by limiting the output of the variable speed
injection pump. If the installed boiler is designed for low temperature operation, set the BOIL MIN adjustment to OFF.
BOILER PROTECTION
Refer to section A for a description of boiler protection.
The boiler sensor can be located on the boiler supply if the 361 is the only control that is
operating the boiler. When in the supply mode, the 361 determines the required operating
temperature of the boiler using
Boiler Load Reset
. With
Boiler Load Reset
, the 361 operates
the boiler at the lowest possible supply temperature that is sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of the variable speed injection pump. If this mode of operation is selected,
the boiler pump should either operate continuously, or be operated in parallel with the
system pump contact (
Note:
The boiler pump should not be operated by the boiler’s aquastat, as this may lead to

).
improper cycling of the boiler because of inconsistent flow past the boiler supply sensor.
BOILER DIFFERENTIAL (BOIL DIFF)
An on / off heat source such as a boiler must be operated with a
differential in order to prevent short cycling. When the boiler supply
temperature drops below the bottom rail of the differential, the 361 closes
the
Boiler
contact to fire the boiler. When the boiler supply temperature
rises above the top rail of the differential, the 361 opens the
Boiler
contact
to turn off the boiler. With the 361, either a fixed or automatic differential
setting is selected. If automatic differential (Ad) is selected, the 361
automatically adjusts the boiler differential under the current load conditions to avoid short cycling.
BOILER SENSOR ON THE RETURN (
Boiler Sensor
DIP switch
The boiler sensor should be located on the boiler return if the 361 is one of many controls
that can call for boiler operation. When in the return mode, the 361 provides a boiler
enable as described in the BOILER ENABLE section. The 361 no longer tries to control
the boiler supply water temperature directly, but allows the boiler to operate at its operating
aquastat setting when required. If this mode of operation is selected, the boiler pump
should either operate continuously, or be operated in parallel with the system pump contact
(

The following tests are to be performed using standard testing practices and procedures, and should only be carried out by properly
trained and experienced persons.
A good quality electrical test meter, capable of reading from at least 0 - 300 V (ac) and at least 0 - 2,000,000 Ohms, is essential to
properly test the wiring and sensors.

When troubleshooting any heating system, it is always a good idea to establish a set routine to follow. By following a consistent routine,
many hours of potential headaches can be avoided. Below is an example of a sequence that can be used when diagnosing or
troubleshooting problems in a hydronic heating system.
Establish the problem. Get as much information from the customer as possible about the problem. Is there

too much heat, not enough heat, or no heat? Is the problem only in one particular zone or area of the building,
or does the problem affect the entire system? Is this a consistent problem or only intermittent? How long
has the problem existed for? This information is critical in correctly diagnosing the problem.

Problem
Understand the sequence of operation of the system. If a particular zone is not receiving enough heat, which
pumps or valves in the system must operate in order to deliver heat to the affected zone? If the zone is
receiving too much heat, which pumps, valves, or check valves must operate in order to stop the delivery
of heat?
Press the
Testing section. Pause the control as necessary to ensure that the correct device is operating as it should.
Sketch the piping of the system. This is a relatively simple step that tends to be overlooked, however, it can
often save hours of time in troubleshooting a system. Note flow directions in the system paying close
attention to the location of pumps, check valves, pressure bypass valves, and mixing valves. Ensure correct
flow direction on all pumps. This is also a very useful step if additional assistance is required.
Document the control for future reference. Before making any adjustments to the control, note down all of
the items that the control is currently displaying. This includes items such as error messages, current
temperatures and settings, and which devices should be operating as indicated by the LCD. This
information is an essential step if additional assistance is required to diagnose the problem.
Isolate the problem between the control and the system. Now that the sequence of operation is known
and the system is sketched, is the control operating the proper pumps and valves at the correct times? Is
the control receiving the correct signals from the system as to when it should be operating? Are the proper
items selected in the menus of the control for the device that is to be operated?
Test

Test the contacts, voltages and sensors. Using a multimeter, ensure that the control is receiving adequate
voltage to the power terminals and the demand terminals as noted in the technical data. Use the multimeter
to determine if the internal contacts on the control are opening and closing correctly. Follow the instructions
in the Testing the Wiring section to simulate closed contacts on the terminal blocks as required. Test the
sensors and their wiring as described in the sensor Data Brochures.
