General

CYCLES PER HOUR (HEAT CYCLE and COOL CYCLE)

The thermostat operation is based on cycles per hour.
The number of cycles per hour is adjustable through
the HEAT CYCLE and COOL CYCLE settings in the
Adjust menu. During each cycle that heating or cooling
is required, the thermostat turns on the Heat or Cool
relay(s) for a calculated amount of time. This amount of
time is the “on time”. The on time is calculated based on
the requirements of the zone. If the zone requires more heating or cooling, the appropriate
on time is increased. If the zone requires less heat or cooling, the appropriate on time is
reduced.

In order to prevent short cycling of the heating relay(s), the thermostat ensures that the
relay(s) remains on or off for a minimum amount of time. In order to prevent short cycling
of the Cool relay, the minimum cooling on time and minimum cooling off time settings are
adjusted in the Adjust menu of the 512.

An Auto Cycle setting is available for both the heating cycle and the cooling cycle. This
setting allows the thermostat to determine the best number of cycles per hour that balances
both temperature swings and equipment cycles.

AUXILIARY SENSORS

The thermostat has a single built-in sensor to measure air temperature at the thermostat. In
addition to the built-in sensor, the thermostat has terminals to connect up to two separate
sensors. These sensors can be either indoor sensors, slab sensors, a remote sensor, or
an outdoor sensor.

Indoor Sensor

An indoor sensor is used to measure the air temperature in the zone that the thermostat
is controlling. The temperature being read by the indoor sensor is used in the calculations
of the on times for the relay(s) in the thermostat. Either one or both of the auxiliary sensor
inputs can be configured for indoor sensors. This setting is made through the Adjust menu
of the thermostat. If more than one sensor, either the built-in sensor or an auxiliary sensor
set as an indoor sensor, is being used to measure the zone temperature, the temperature
of the active sensors is averaged and used to calculate the on time of the relay(s).

Slab Sensor

A slab sensor is used to measure the slab temperature in the zone that the thermostat
is controlling. The temperature being read by the slab sensor is used in the calculations
of the on time for the Heat relay and allows the thermostat to operate the slab between
the slab minimum and slab maximum settings. If more than one slab sensor is used, the
slab temperatures are averaged by the thermostat.

Remote Sensor

A single remote sensor can be connected to the thermostat. The temperature
measured by a remote sensor does not affect the on time of the relays and is only
used for display purposes.

Outdoor Sensor

A single outdoor sensor can be connected to the thermostat. The temperature measured
by an outdoor sensor does not affect the on time of the relays and is only used for display
purposes.

ACCESS LEVELS

The tekmar Programmable Thermostat has two
access levels. These access levels restrict the

Dip Switch

TWO STAGE HEAT

The two stage mode of operation is selected using the DIP switch located on the circuit
board inside the thermostat.

In cases where a one stage heating system can not provide sufficient heat under all
conditions, a second stage of heat can be added to supplement the first stage. A two stage
system therefore has one thermostat controlling two output relays.

Two Stage Logic

The temperature in a two stage zone is controlled by varying the on time of the Heat 1
and Heat 2 relays during a cycle. Under light loads, the Heat 1 relay is cycled on and
off. As the load increases, the Heat 1 relay on time is increased until it reaches the
maximum of the cycle length or, if a slab sensor is used, the slab temperature reaches
the slab maximum setting. The Heat 2 relay is then cycled and its on time is increased
as the load increases. When the heating load decreases, the on time of the Heat 2
relay is reduced until the Heat 2 relay is turned off completely. The thermostat then
reduces the on time of the Heat 1 relay

.

NOTE: When using a slab sensor, the Heat 2 relay may be on while the Heat 1 relay is
off if the slab temperature has reached the slab maximum setting.

Air Sensor(s) Only Operation

When operating with only an air sensor, the on times for the Heat 1 and Heat 2 relays
are calculated to satisfy the requirements of the air sensor.

Slab Sensor Only Operation

When operating with only a slab sensor, the on times for the Heat 1 and Heat 2 relays
are calculated to satisfy the requirements of the slab sensor. The thermostat operates to
maintain the slab at the minimum slab temperature setting

.

NOTE: Operating with only a slab sensor can lead to either overheating or underheating
of the space.

Air and Slab Sensor Operation

When operating with both air and slab sensors, the thermostat calculates an on time for
the Heat 1 relay to satisfy the slab sensor’s requirements and on times for the Heat 1
and Heat 2 relays to satisfy the air sensor’s requirements. The thermostat operates the
Heat 1 relay for the longer of these two on times.

While the minimum slab temperature is satisfied, the on times of the Heat 1 and Heat 2
relays are calculated to satisfy the air temperature requirements

.

During heavy loads, the maximum slab temperature setting limits the on time of the Heat
1 relay. In this situation, the Heat 2 relay may be on while the Heat 1 relay is off.

NOTE: During light heating loads, overheating can occur due to the minimum slab
temperature requirements

.

Mode

Heat In the heat mode, the Heat 1 and Heat 2 relays are operated to satisfy the

temperature requirement of the zone

.

Off In the Off mode, the Heat 1 and Heat 2 relays are not operated.

NOTE: If an air or slab sensor is active in the Off mode, a freeze protection is enabled

that allows the relays to be operated to keep the zone above 35°F (2°C).

HEAT / COOL

The Heat / Cool mode of operation is selected using the DIP switch located on the circuit
board inside the thermostat

.

Air Sensor(s) Only Operation

When operating with only an air sensor, the on times of the Heat 1 relay and the Cool
relay are calculated to satisfy the requirements of the air sensor

.

Slab Sensor Only Operation

When operating with only a slab sensor, the on time of the Heat 1 relay is calculated to
satisfy the requirements of the slab sensor. The thermostat operates to maintain the slab
at the minimum slab temperature setting

.

NOTE: When operating with only a slab sensor, the Cool relay does not operate.
Operating with only a slab sensor can lead to either overheating or underheating of the
space.

Air and Slab Sensor Operation

When operating with both air and slab sensors, the thermostat calculates an on time
for the Heat 1 relay to satisfy the slab sensor’s requirements and an on time to satisfy
the air sensor’s requirements. The Heat 1 relay operates for the longer of these two
on times. The thermostat also calculates an on time for the Cool relay to satisfy the air
sensor’s requirements. In this situation, heating and cooling can happen at the same
time to prevent the space from overheating. This is most likely to occur when the slab is
operating at the slab minimum temperature

.

While the minimum slab temperature is satisfied, the Heat 1 relay on time is calculated
to satisfy the air temperature setting. However, the maximum slab temperature setting
limits the Heat 1 relay on time when the slab temperature becomes too warm. In this
situation, underheating can occur in the space.

Mode

Auto In the Auto mode, the thermostat automatically switches between heating and

cooling the space. However, the heating operation has priority over the cooling
operation. In this mode, the minimum slab temperature is maintained even when
the thermostat is cooling the air.

Heat In the Heat mode, the Heat 1 relay is operated to satisfy the heating

temperature requirement of the zone and cooling is disabled.

Cool In the Cool mode, the Cool relay is operated to satisfy the cooling temperature

requirement of the zone and heating is disabled. If a slab sensor is used, the slab
minimum is ignored.

Off In the Off mode, the Heat 1 and Cool relays are not operated.

NOTE: If an air or slab sensor is active in the Off mode, a freeze protection is enabled that

allows the Heat 1 relay to be operated to keep the zone above 35°F (2°C).

5 of 20 © 2009 D 512 - 09/09

Heating / Cooling Interlock

Time Interlock

In order to prevent frequent changes between heating and cooling, the thermostat
has a Cooling Interlock setting. Once the Heat 1 relay has been off for a minimum of
one heating cycle or the length of the Cooling Interlock, (whichever is longer) cooling
is permitted.

Temperature Interlock

When in the Auto mode, the cooling temperature is limited to 3°F (1.5°C) above the
heating temperature. If the cooling temperature is set below the heating temperature,
the thermostat automatically adjusts the cooling setpoint.

When operating in the Cool mode, there is no interlock between the heating and cooling
temperature.

STEP THREE

MOUNTING THE BASE

The thermostat should be installed on an
interior wall of the desired zone approximately
5’ (1.5 m) above the floor. Do not mount the
thermostat in a location that may be affected
by localized heat sources or cold drafts. It
may be necessary to install a draft barrier
behind the thermostat to prevent air from
blowing through the wiring hole and affecting
the thermostat’s built-in sensor.

Mount the base directly to the wall using

#6 1” screws

two #6 1” screws. The screws are inserted
through the mounting holes and must be
securely fastened to the wall. If possible, at
least one of the screws should enter a wall
stud or similar surface. If the thermostat is to
be mounted to a 2” x 4” electrical box, order
an Adaptor Plate 007. This plate mounts to the
electrical box and the thermostat mounts to
the plate. Ensure that the electrical box does
not provide cold air to the thermostat.

NOTE: If the thermostat is to be used for remote sensing (i.e. The built-in air sensor is
disabled and an indoor sensor is being used.) Mount the thermostat in the desired location
in an appropriate manner.

ensure proper operation.

If an auxiliary sensor is used, install the sensor according to the appropriate Data

Brochure and run two wires from the sensor to the thermostat.

Run wires from the heating device to the thermostat.

STEP FIVE

WIRING THE THERMOSTAT

(Refer to the examples on the following pages.)

24 V (ac) power

Connect the 24 V (ac) power to the R and C terminals (1 and 2) of the thermostat. This
connection provides power to the microprocessor and display of the thermostat.

Auxiliary Sensors (S1 and S2)

Either an indoor, slab, or remote sensor may be connected to the S1 input. Connect the
two wires from the auxiliary sensor to the Com and S1 terminals (3 and 4).

Either an indoor, slab, or outdoor sensor may be connected to the S2 input. Connect the
two wires from the auxiliary sensor to the Com and S2 terminals (3 and 5).

Heat 1

The Heat terminals (6 and 7) are an isolated output. There is no power available on
these terminals from the thermostat. These terminals are to be used as a switch for a
24 V (ac) circuit. This circuit can operate a low current 24 V (ac) device directly or an
external relay to enable a line voltage or high current device.

Heat 2 / Cool

The Heat 2 / Cool terminals (8 and 9) are an isolated output. There is no power available
on these terminals from the thermostat. This circuit can operate a low current 24 V (ac)
device directly or an external relay to enable a line voltage or high current device.

Limited Warranty and Product Return Procedure

Limited Warranty The liability of tekmar un der this warranty is l imi ted . The Purchaser, by taking r eceipt of

any tekmar product (“Product”), acknowledges the terms of the Limited Warranty in effect at the time of
such Product sale and acknowledges that it has read and understands same.

The tekmar Limited Warranty to the Purchaser on the Products sold hereunder is a manufacturer’s pass­through warranty which the Purchaser is authorized to pass through to its customers. Under the Limited
Warranty, each tekmar Product is warranted against defects in workmanship and materials if the Product
is installed and used in compliance with tekmar’s instructions, ordinary wear and tear excepted. The pass­through warranty period is for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the production date if the Product is
not installed during that period, or twelve (12) months from the documented date of installation if installed
within twenty-four (24) months from the production date.

The liability of tekmar under the Limited Warranty shall be limited to, at tekmar’s sole discretion: the cost of parts
and labor provided by tekmar to repair defects in materials and / or workmanship of the defective product; or to
the exchange of the defective product for a warranty replacement produc t; or to the granting of credit limited to the
original cost of the defec tive product, and such repair, exchange or credit shall be the sole remedy available from
tekmar, and, without limiting the foregoing in any way, tekmar is not responsible, in contract, tort or strict product
liability, for any other losses, costs, expenses, inconveniences, or damages, whether direc t, indirect, special, sec­ondar y, incidental or consequential, arising from ownership or use of the product, or from defects in workmanship
or materials, including any liability for fundamental breach of c ontract.

The pass-through Limited Warranty applies only to those defective Products returned to tekmar during the war­ranty period. This Limited Warranty does not cover the cost of the parts or labor to remove or transport the defec­tive Product, or to reinstall the repaired or replacement Product, all such costs and expenses being subject to
Purchaser’s agreement and warranty with its customers.

Any representations or warranties about the Products made by Purchaser to its customers which are different from
or in excess of the tekmar Limited Warrant y are the Purchaser’s sole responsibility and obligation. Purchaser shall
indemnify and hold tek mar harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities and damages of any kind or
nature which arise out of or are related to any such representations or warranties by Purchaser to its customers.

The pass-through Limite d Warranty does not apply if the returned Product has been damaged by negligence by
persons other than tekmar, accident, fire, Act of God, abuse or misuse; or has b een damaged by modifications,
alterations or at tachments made subsequent to purchase which have not been authorized by tekmar; or if the Prod­uct was not installed in compliance with tekmar’s instructions and / or the local codes and ordinances; or if due to
defective installation of the Product; or if the Product was not used in compliance with tekmar’s instructions.

THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHICH THE GOVERNING
LAW ALLOWS PARTIES TO CONTRACTUALLY EXCLUDE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WAR­RANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DURABILITY OR DESCRIP­TION OF THE PRODUCT, ITS NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY RELEVANT PATENTS OR TRADEMARKS, AND
ITS COMPLIANCE WITH OR NON-VIOL ATION OF ANY APPLICABLE ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH OR SAFETY
LEGISLATION; THE TERM OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY NOT HEREBY CONTRACTUALLY EXCLUDED IS LIM­ITED SUCH THAT IT SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND TWENTY-FOUR (24) MONTHS FROM THE PRODUCTION
DATE, TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LIMITATION IS ALLOWED BY THE GOVERNING LAW.

Product Warranty Return Procedure All Products that are believed to have defects in workmanship or materi­als must be returned, together with a written description of the defect, to the tekmar Representative assigned to
the territory in which such Product is located. If tekmar receives an inquiry from someone other than a tekmar
Representative, including an inquiry from Purchaser (if not a tekmar Representative) or Purchaser’s customers,
regarding a potential warranty claim, tekmar’s sole obligation shall be to provide the address and other contact
information regarding the appropriate Representative.
