The Mixing Control 362 is a microprocessor based control with two distinct operating modes.
MODE —1— allows the control to provide a reset mixed supply water temperature to a heating system based on outdoor air temperature.
Multiple zone temperature controls can be achieved by using either a conventional thermostat system or by using tekmar Zone Controls
attached to the 362. For single zone heating applications, a single Room Temperature Unit (RTU) can be connected directly to the 362
for zone temperature control.
MODE —2— allows the control to provide a single zone of snow melting. With the addition of a Snow Melting Kit 092, the 362 can
provide slab temperature control and slab ΔT protection. The melting mode is initiated manually either with a demand signal or from the
Snow Melting Kit enabling device.
The 362 incorporates a large Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) in order to provide system status and operating information. The same LCD
is used when setting up and installing the control. Standard features for both modes of operation include boiler return protection,
intelligent boiler operation, Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD), and pump exercising. As well, with the addition of a new Monitor
feature, it is now possible to track pump and boiler running hours, boiler cycles and high and low sensor temperatures. The 362 also has
a unique feature that allows the control to supply heat to the mixed system from either the boiler or a thermal storage tank.

Additional information can be gained by observing the Status and Pointers fields 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 362 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
The Mixing Control 362 has two distinct operating modes. The mode of
operation for the control is selected in the Adjust Menu.
MODE 1 (Heating)
Mode 1 is the Heating mode of operation. In this mode, the 362 is an
Outdoor Reset control for a building heating system. The 362 uses a
mixing device to vary the supply water temperature to the building
heating system according to the outdoor conditions.
MODE 2 (Snow Melting)
Mode 2 is the Snow Melting mode of operation. In this mode, the 362 is
a Slab Outdoor Reset control for a single zone of snow melting. The 362
uses a mixing device to vary the supply water temperature to a single
zone snow melting system. In the Snow Melting mode, the 362 uses a
slab sensor and mixing return sensor in order to provide slab temperature
control and slab protection. It is recommended to purchase a Snow Melt
Enable Kit 092 when using this mode of operation.
MIXING DEVICE SELECTION (MIXING)
The 362 can supply a lower water temperature to part of the heating system by varying the speed of an injection pump or modulating
a mixing valve. This selection is made under the MIXING item in the

BOILER PROTECTION (BoiL MIN )
The 362 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 362 reduces the output
from the mixing device. 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 the Boil SENS item is not set to NONE.
EXERCISING (EXERCISE)
The 362 has a built-in pump and valve exercising function. The exercising period is adjustable and comes factory set at 70 hours. If a
pump or valve 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 a pump or valve seizing during a long period of inactivity. In the case where a mixing
valve is being used as the mixing device, the 362 ensures that the valve operates over its entire range at least once each exercising
period.
Note: The exercising function does not work if power to the control or pumps is disconnected.

to how the terminal unit delivers heat into the building space. The 362 provides for selection
between six different terminal unit types: two types of radiant floor heat, fancoil, fin-tube
convector, radiator and baseboard.
Hydronic Radiant Floor
HRF1 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
HRF2 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.

Sequence, Section B
Fin–tube Convector
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.
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 proportion of heat transferred by radiation from a baseboard is greater
than that from a fin-tube convector.

SOFT START (SOF STRT)
The SOF STRT function allows the 362 to slowly ramp the water temperature up to the required supply temperature. By allowing the
temperature in the system to be adjusted slowly, the control reduces any thermal expansion noises and stresses that may be caused
by a quick change in supply water temperature.
In addition to using conventional thermostats to provide a mixing demand as described in Section B1, the 362 can use a number of other
methods to provide a mixing demand.
10K INDOOR SENSOR (10K = INDR)
Set the 10K item to INDR to add an indoor sensor for temperature control of a single zone
mixing system. The indoor sensor is connected to the
In addition, power must be applied to the
section B1. With the indoor sensor connected, the 362 is able to sense the actual room
temperature. With this information, the 362 provides a more constant water flow through the
mixing system. At the same time, indoor temperature feedback fine tunes the supply water
temperature in the mixing system to prevent over heating or under heating. To adjust the room
temperature for the mixing zone, use the ROOM
menu at the control.
10K ZONE CONTROL (10K = ZoIn)

terminals (1 and 2) as described in Section B1. With the slab
sensor connected, the 362 will limit the mixing supply temperature in order to maintain the slab
sensor between the SLAB MIN and SLAB MAX settings.
Slab Minimum
(SLAB MIN)
The SLAB MIN sets the minimum allowed core temperature of the slab as long as the control is not in a WWSD. Caution should be
used when adjusting the SLAB MIN setting as this may lead to overheating of the zone during mild conditions. If the AWAY setting
is selected in the Schedule menu, the 362 ignores the SLAB MIN setting.
Slab Maximum
(SLAB MAX)
The SLAB MAX sets the maximum allowed core temperature of the slab. If the slab is to be maintained at a fixed core temperature,
set SLAB MAX and SLAB MIN items to the same setting.
ROOM TEMPERATURE UNIT (RTU) 062, 063
If the mixing system consists of a single zone, temperature control of that zone can be provided
by using an RTU. The RTU is connected to the

temperature in the mixing system to prevent over heating or under heating. The RTU allows
the user to adjust the desired room temperature at the RTU. Remote sensor capability is also

DEDICATED HEAT SOURCE
If the snow melting system consists of a snow melting slab and a dedicated boiler, a mixing
device is installed between the snow melting slab and the boiler to protect the boiler from
low operating temperatures. In a dedicated snow melting system with a properly sized
boiler, it is not necessary for the control to provide ∆T protection of the snow melting slab;
Since the boiler output is matched to the slab requirements, it is not possible to heat the slab
too rapidly and cause thermal stresses that will result in damage to the slab. Therefore, the

VISCOSITY COMPENSATION (EXCEEDING ∆T MAX)
At low temperatures, the glycol solutions used in snow melting systems become very viscous and difficult to pump. In order to overcome
this condition during a cold start of a snow melting system, the 362 is allowed to exceed the ∆T MAX setting for a period of time in order
to warm the glycol solution. This allows the control to compensate for the high viscosity of the glycol solution and is used when the supply
temperature is below 30˚F (-1˚C). When the control exceeds the

RAMPING OF THE ∆T
When the control starts applying heat to the slab, the supply temperature to the snow melting system is ramped up over a period of time
until it reaches the maximum allowed ∆T. This function does not occur when the boiler sensor is on the supply.

this situation, the control continues melting until the snow melting demand is removed or the control is stopped.
The running time is the length of time that the snow melting system operates once the slab has reached the melting temperature. During
the time that the slab is approaching the melting temperature, the RUN TIME does not decrease. Once the slab has reached the melting
temperature, the RUN TIME begins counting down. When the RUN TIME reaches 0:00 as displayed by the SNOWMELT item in the
menu, the 362 has finished Melting.

WARM WEATHER SHUT DOWN (WWSD)
When both the slab temperature and the outdoor temperature exceed the
Melting temperature by more than 1.5˚F (1˚C), the control enters into a
WWSD. In a WWSD, the snow melting system is shut down in order to
conserve energy.
COLD WEATHER CUT OUT (CWCO)
Maintaining the slab at either the Melting or Idling temperature during extremely cold temperatures can be expensive or impossible. The
control shuts off the snow melting system once the outdoor air temperature drops below the Cold Weather Cut Out (CWCO) temperature.
While the control is in a CWCO, the word CWCO is displayed in the SNOWMELT item in the View menu. If the control had been started
prior to the CWCO, it resumes the melting mode once the outdoor air temperature rises above the CWCO temperature.
BOILER OPERATION
Refer to section D for a description of the boiler operation.
BOILER PROTECTION (Boil MIN)
The 362 ensures that the boiler supply water temperature remains above
the Boil MIN setting. If the boiler supply water temperature begins to drop
due to the slab return temperature, the mixing device is throttled back to
allow the boiler to recover. This minimizes the time that the boiler operates
below its condensing temperature and prolongs the life of the boiler. The
362 can only provide boiler protection if the Boil SENS item is set to SUP
or RET. The 362 cannot provide boiler protection if the Boil SENS item is
set to NONE.

the MELTING setting and maintained at the melting temperature until the
Run Time reaches 0:00. If the Run Time reaches 0:00 and the external
demand is still present, the control continues at the melting temperature
until the external demand is removed or the system is otherwise stopped.
A Remote Start / Stop Module 039 can be used to start and stop the snow melting system and
adjust the running time. Refer to data brochure D 039 for details of operation.
REMOTE DISPLAY MODULE 040
A Remote Display Module 040 can be used to start and stop the snow melting system. The
snow melting system is enabled by pressing the Up button on the 040 while in the View menu.
Once the snow melting system is enabled, the word STRT is displayed in the LCD for at least
five seconds. The 040 then displays the Run Time setting to allow the user to adjust it.

the 040 while in the View menu. The word STOP is displayed for five seconds.
Section C3: With Slab Sensor (Mode —2—)
SLAB OUTDOOR RESET
A slab sensor maybe installed to provide more accurate temperature
control. The control assumes that the sensor is approximately 1 inch below
the surface of the snow melting slab. Since this point is closer to the source
of the heat, this point is warmer than the surface of the slab. Therefore, the
sensor must be maintained at a higher temperature in order to ensure that
the surface of the slab is maintained at the correct temperature. The
amount of temperature difference between the surface of the slab and the
slab sensor changes with the outdoor air temperature. Therefore, the slab
core temperature is increased as the outdoor air temperature drops. The
temperature displayed as the slab temperature is the temperature of the
slab sensor. This sensor temperature is higher than the surface temperature of the slab.

IDLING MODE (IDLING)
When the snow melting system starts from a cold temperature, the time required for the slab to reach the “Melting” temperature may
be excessive. To decrease this start up time, the slab can be maintained at an “Idling” temperature. The idle feature is also useful for
preventing frost and light ice formation. When the control is in idling mode, the

MELTING MODE (MELTING)
The Mixing Control 362 is a manual snow melting control. In order for the snow melting system to be started, one of the three methods
described in section C2 must be used. When the control is in the melting mode, the

Section C4: Without Slab Sensor
mode.
In cases where a slab sensor has not been or cannot be installed in the snow melting slab, it is possible for the Mixing Control 362
to operate the snow melting system. This mode of operation is not recommended since the control can no longer regulate the
slab temperature. This method of operation can cause the slab to operate at surface temperatures that are higher than required. A
higher surface temperature can lead to excessive energy usage and fuel costs. The sequence of operation for the control when it is
operating without a slab sensor is the same as described in sections C1 and C2.
However, the following items change as described:
RUN TIME
As there is no slab sensor, the RUN TIME clock does not wait for the slab to reach MELTING temperature to start counting down,
but instead starts counting down as soon as the control starts the melting operation.
Since a slab sensor is not in use, the Warm Weather Shut Down is determined only from the outdoor air temperature. Once the outdoor
air temperature rises above the WWSD setting, the control goes into a WWSD and ignores any demand for Idling or Melting. Also the
word WWSD is displayed when viewing the SNOWMELT item in the View Menu.
IDLING MODE (IDLING)
When the snow melting system starts from a cold temperature, the time required for the slab to reach the Melting temperature may be
excessive. To decrease this start up time, the slab can be maintained at an Idling temperature. The Idle feature is also useful for
preventing frost and light ice formation. When the control is in idling mode, the Idling pointer is visible in the View menu and the word
IDLE can be read when looking at the SNOWMELT item in the View menu. The IDLING setting in the Adjust menu sets the desired slab
sensor temperature.
MELTING MODE (MELTING)
The Mixing Control 362 is a manual snow melting control. In order for the snow melting system to be started, one of the three methods

BOILER SENSOR ON THE SUPPLY (Boil SENS = SUP)
Mode 1: Heating
The boiler sensor can be located on the boiler supply if the 362 is the only control that is
operating the boiler. When in the supply mode, the 362 determines the required operating
temperature for the boiler supply and cycles the
correct boiler supply water temperature. If this mode of operation is selected, the boiler
pump should either operate continuously or be operated in parallel with the Mixing Pump
contact (Mix Pmp). The boiler pump should not be operated by the operating aquastat as
this may lead to improper cycling of the boiler because of inconsistent flow past the boiler
supply sensor. This mode of operation only works if the Boil SENS item is set to SUP.
Mode 2: Snow Melting
When operating a boiler that is dedicated to a snow melting system, the 362 is designed to operate the boiler as efficiently as possible.
The boiler is cycled based on the mixing supply water temperature. This is to provide longer and more efficient boiler cycles. This mode
of operation only works if the Boil SENS item is set to SUP.

Boiler
BOILER TARGET TEMPERATURE (Boil TRG)
Mode 1: Heating
When operating in Mode 1, the Boiler Target temperature is determined by the operation of the mixing device. The Mixing Control
362 uses a method called
the boiler at a supply temperature that is sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the mixing device. If the boiler supply water
temperature is not sufficient, the 362 increases the boiler target temperature. If the boiler supply water temperature is more than
sufficient, the 362 decreases the boiler target temperature. If the control does not have a requirement for heat from the boiler, it does
not show a boiler target temperature. Instead, - - - is displayed in the LCD.
Boiler Load Reset
in order to determine the required boiler supply water temperature. The 362 operates
Mode 2: Snow Melting
When operating in Mode 2, the boiler target temperature is determined by the mixing target temperature. The mixing target
temperature is automatically determined by the control.
When operating in Mode 1, an on / off heat source such as a boiler must be operated with a differential to prevent short cycling. This
differential is centered around the Boil TRG temperature. If the boiler supply temperature drops 1/2 of the differential below the
Boil TRG temperature, the 362 closes the boiler contact to fire the boiler. If the boiler supply temperature rises 1/2 of the differential
above the Boil TRG temperature, the 362 opens the boiler contact to turn off the boiler. With the 362, either a fixed or automatic
differential setting is selected. If the AUTO differential is selected, the 362 automatically adjusts the boiler differential setting under
the current load conditions to avoid short cycling.
Mode 2: Snow Melting
(DIFF)
When operating in Mode 2 with the boiler sensor on the boiler supply, it is necessary to set a differential for the boiler. This differential
is centered around the MIX TRG temperature. If the mixing supply temperature drops 1/2 of the differential below the MIX TRG
temperature, the 362 closes the boiler contact to fire the boiler. If the mixing supply temperature rises 1/2 of the differential above the
MIX TRG temperature, the 362 opens the boiler contact to turn off the boiler.
Sequence, Section D1
BOILER MINIMUM (Boil MIN)
The Boil MIN is the lowest water temperature that the control is allowed to
use as a Boil TRG temperature. During mild conditions, if the 362 calculates
a Boil TRG temperature that is below theBoil MIN setting, the Boil TRG
temperature is adjusted to at least the Boil MIN setting. During this
condition, if the boiler is operating, the

pointer turns on in the LCD
while the Boil TRG or the Boil SUP temperature is viewed. If the installed
boiler is designed for condensing operation, set the Boil MIN adjustment

BOILER MAXIMUM (Boil MAX)
The Boil MAX is the highest water temperature that the control is allowed
to use as a Boil TRG temperature. If the control does target Boil MAX, and
the Boil SUP temperature is near the Boil MAX temperature, the
pointer turns on in the LCD while the Boil TRG or the Boil SUP temperature
is viewed. At no time does the control operate the boiler above 248˚F (120˚C).

BOILER OPERATION
When the 362 determines that boiler operation is required, the
Boiler
contact terminals (6 and 7) close. While the boiler contact is closed,
the burner segment in the LCD is displayed.
FIRE DELAY (FIRE DLY)
The FIRE DLY is the delay time that may happen between the time that the 362 closes the boiler contact and the burner fires. This delay
is usually the result of a burner pre-purge or other forms of time delay built into the burner’s safety circuits.
BOILER MASS (Boil MASS)
The Boil MASS setting allows the 362 to adjust to different types of heat sources depending on their thermal mass.
(LITE)
Light
The LITE setting is selected if the boiler that is being used has a low thermal mass. This means that the boiler 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.
This is typical of many copper fin-tube boilers.
Medium
(MED)
The MED setting is selected if the boiler that is being used has a medium thermal mass. This means that the boiler 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.
Heavy
(HEVY)
The HEVY setting is selected if the boiler that is being used has a high thermal mass. This means that the boiler 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 boiler sensor should be located on the boiler return if the 362 is one of many controls that
can call for boiler operation. When in the return mode, the 362 provides a boiler enable. The
362 no longer tries to control the boiler supply water temperature directly but allows the boiler
to operate at its operating aquastat setting. If this mode of operation is selected, the boiler
pump should either operate continuously or be operated in parallel with the Mixing Pump. The
boiler pump should not be operated by the boilers aquastat as this may lead to improper
cycling of the boiler because of inconsistent flow past the boiler return sensor.
When the mixing device begins to ramp up, the boiler contact on the 362 closes. The boiler
contact remains closed until the mixing device no longer requires heat. With the sensor on the
boiler return, the 362 is still capable of providing boiler return protection as described in
section A.
Section D3: No Boiler Sensor
NO BOILER SENSOR (Boil SENS = NONE)
The 362 is capable of operating without a boiler sensor if desired. Without a boiler sensor, the
362 is unable to provide boiler return protection. The boiler contact still functions without the
boiler sensor. When the mixing device begins to ramp up, the boiler contact on the 362 closes.
The boiler contact remains closed until the mixing device no longer requires heat. This type
of application is typical if the 362 is drawing heat from a heat source that already incorporates
some form of boiler return protection.

A single RTU may be connected to the Mixing Control 362 in order to provide the control with indoor
temperature feedback for the mixing side of the heating system (Refer to Essay E 002). When using
an RTU, several items related to the mixing side of the heating system are no longer available in the
control’s User Interface. These items are available only in the RTU’s User Interface. Also, the number
of items that are available on the RTU depends on the type of RTU that is connected to the control.
The Mixing Control 362 has a built in test routine which is used to test the main control
functions. The 362 continually monitors the sensors and displays an error message whenever
a fault is found. See the following pages for a list of the 362’s error messages and possible
causes. When the

Troubleshooting
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
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.
Understand the
Sequence of
Operation
Use the Test
Routine
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 Test button on the control and follow the control through the test sequence as described
in 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 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.
Monitor the
System
Monitor the system over a period of time. Select the applicable items in the Monitor menu of
the control and reset them to zero. Allow the system and the control to operate over a known
period of time and then record the Monitor items. Use this information to help diagnose any
remaining problems.
