This brochure will provide you with the information you need to benefit the most
from your tekmarNet® thermostat. Please visit www.tekmarcontrols.com for more
detailed information on this or any other tekmar product.
This thermostat provides heating for one zone in your building. It will maintain your
air temperature with an on board ROOM sensor, but may also have an auxiliary
ROOM, FLOOR, or OUTDOOR sensor attached. A ROOM sensor will allow control
of a location other than the one in which the thermostat is installed. An outdoor
sensor will allow this and all other tekmarNet® thermostats in your building to display
the outdoor temperature on their displays. A floor sensor will allow this thermostat
to control your floor temperature. This thermostat can maintain floor temperature
only, air temperature only, or floor and air temperature together.
With the addition of one of tekmar’s energy saving accessories, this thermostat can
also lower its temperature setting at night or when you are away from the house.
