Replaces: 12/08

The Snow Detector & Melting Control 665 is a microprocessor-based control which operates a single zone snow melting system. The control can operate automatically when a Snow / Ice Sensor 090 is installed or the user can manually enable and/or disable the system. When the control is in the melting mode, the slab is maintained at a “Melting” temperature through an on/off output which operates a contactor for electrical cables, a boiler, an injection pump or an injection valve. When the control is not in the melting mode, the melt system can either be shut down or it can be maintained at an idle temperature for faster response and improved safety. The 665 control includes a large Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) in order to view system status and operating information.

Additional features include:

• Slab Outdoor Reset

• Automatic snow detection and melt control (with 090 sensor)

• Temporary Idle

• Manual Override

• Warm Weather Shut Down

• Cold Weather Cut Out

• Remote display and adjustment capabilities

• Test sequence to ensure proper component operation

• Equipment Exercising

• CSA C US certiﬁ ed (approved to applicable UL standards)

Section A: General Operation

POWERING UP THE CONTROL

When the Snow Detector & Melting Control 665 is powered up, the control displays all LCD segments for 2 seconds, then 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.

EXERCISING (EXERCISE)

The 665 has a built-in pump exercising function. The exercising period is adjustable and is factory set at 70 hours. If a pump output 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.

Note: The exercising function does not work if power to the control or pumps is disconnected.

Section B: Snow Melting

Section B1

Section B1: General Snow Melting

WARM WEATHER SHUT DOWN (WWSD)

The control has a warm weather shut down that prevents the control from entering the melt or idle modes in order to conserve energy. While in WWSD, the word WWSD is displayed in the STATUS item in the VIEW menu and the WWSD pointer is on the display. The WWSD item in the ADJUST menu can be either set to Automatic or it can be set to a temperature.

Automatic (Auto)

When the WWSD is set to AUTO, the WWSD occurs when the slab temperature and the outdoor temperature exceed the Melting setting by 2° F (1°C). The control exits the WWSD when the slab or outdoor temperature falls to the Melting setting temperature.

Adjustable WWSD

When the WWSD is set to a temperature, the WWSD occurs when the outdoor air temperature exceeds the WWSD setting by 1°F (0.5°C) and when the slab temperature exceeds 34°F (1°C). The control exits WWSD when the outdoor air temperature falls 1°F (0.5°C) below the WWSD setting or if the slab temperature falls below 34°F (1°C). This allows the Melting Temperature setting to be set higher than the WWSD. This is useful where high slab temperatures are required to melt the snow or ice. A good example of this is installations using paving bricks on top of sand and concrete layers.

COLD WEATHER CUT OUT (CWCO)

Maintaining the system at either the melting or idling temperature during extremely cold temperatures can be expensive or impossible. The control turns the snow melting system off when the outdoor air temperature drops below the Cold Weather Cut Out (CWCO) temperature. While the control is in CWCO, the word CWCO is displayed in the STATUS item in the VIEW menu. The heater in the sensor is kept on during CWCO until the control detects moisture. If water is detected, the heater is turned off but the control retains the moisture detected information. When the outdoor temperature rises above the CWCO temperature, the control exits CWCO and if the Snow / Ice Sensor 090 detected moisture during CWCO, the control initiates Melting mode. If the control has been started prior to the CWCO, it resumes the Melting mode once the outdoor air temperature rises above the CWCO temperature.

RUNNING TIME (RUN TIME)

The running time is the length of time that the system operates once it has reached its slab target temperature. During the time that the system is approaching its slab target temperature, the RUN TIME does not decrease. Once the system reaches its slab target temperature, the RUN TIME begins counting down. When the RUN TIME reaches 0:00 as displayed in the Status item in the VIEW menu, the system has finished melting.

Note: The running time is only applicable when a manual melting enable signal star ts the snow melting system. Refer to Section C1 for a description of a manual melting enable.

STATUS (STATUS)

While in the VIEW menu there are a number of items available to determine the current status of the system. To view the current status of the system, select the STATUS item in the VIEW menu.

• STRT The word STRT is displayed after the snow melting system has been manually enabled. It is displayed until the

zone reaches its slab target temperature. If the zone is at its slab target temperature, STRT is displayed for ﬁ ve seconds after the snow melting system has started operation. This is to verify that the control has entered into the Melting mode.

• STOP The word STOP is displayed for ﬁ ve seconds after the snow melting system has been manually disabled. The

word STOP is also displayed if either a Remote Start / Stop Module 039, Remote Display Module 040 or the Stop on the control stops the snow melting system and an external melt demand is still present.

• IDLE The word IDLE is displayed as long as the zone is operating at its idling temperature.

•

“IDLE” The word IDLE is ﬂ ashed on the display as long as the zone is operating in temporary idle.

• EXT The word EXT is displayed when the RUN TIME has reached 0:00 and the control still has an external melt demand.

In this situation, the zone continues melting until the melt demand is removed or the control is stopped.

• DET The word DET is displayed after the snow melting system has been automatically enabled by the

Snow / Ice Sensor 090 and the zone is at its slab target temperature. DET is also displayed once the control is manually enabled after automatic detection by the 090 and the running time has counted down to 0:00.

• 0:00 to 23:59 hr While the zone is up to temperature and melting, the remaining RUN TIME is displayed.

• INF If an inﬁ nite RUN TIME is selected and the zone is melting, INF is displayed.

• WWSD When the zone is in Warm Weather Shut Down, WWSD is displayed.

• CWCO When the control is in Cold Weather Cut Out, CWCO is displayed.

SNOW MELTING OVERRIDE

If the AWAY setting is selected in the SCHEDULE menu, the snow melting system is shut down. Both the Melting and Idling temperatures are ignored as long as the control remains in the Away mode.

SYSTEM PUMP OPERATION (SYS P1)

The system pump (Sys P1) contact closes and remains closed as long as the system is either in the Melting or Idling mode. The system pump contact shuts off if the control is in CWCO, WWSD, or if there is no call for Melting or Idling.

HEAT CONTAC T OPERATIO N

The control uses the Heat contact to control the temperature of the slab. When the control is either Melting or Idling, the Heat contact operates on a 20 minute cycle. If the slab requires more heat, the on time in each cycle is increased. If the slab requires less heat, the on time of each cycle is decreased. The Heat contact shuts off if the control is in Cold Weather Cut Out (CWCO), Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD), or if

there is no call for Melting or Idling.

MELTING CONTACT OPERATION

The Melting contact (terminals 13 and 14) closes and remains closed as long as the system is in the melting mode. This contact can be used as an external signal to indicate that the system is currently in the melting mode. This contact can also be used as a means of prioritizing or enabling multiple snow melting controls.

PURGE

The system pump (Sys P1) and zoning device continue to operate for 20 seconds after the last demand is removed. This purges the residual heat from the boiler(s) into the snow melting slab.

Section C1: Snow Melting Enable

The snow melting system can be enabled manually or automatically. A melting enable signal applied to the control places the system into the melting mode. If a melting enable signal is applied once the system is already in the melting mode, the control responds to the last command received.

MANUAL MELTING ENABLE

A manual melting enable signal requires the user to manually start the snow melting system and can be provided from the Start button on the control, Remote Start / Stop Module 039, Remote Display Module 040, or an external melt demand.

Start Button on the Control

The snow melting system is enabled by pressing the Start button on the control while in the VIEW menu. The control then displays the RUN TIME setting to allow the user to adjust it. Once the snow melting system is enabled, the word STRT is displayed for at least 5 seconds in the STATUS item while in the VIEW menu. If the Start button on the control is pressed while the system is already melting and up to temperature, the running time counter is reset to the RUN TIME setting.

Remote Start / Stop Module 039

The snow melting system is enabled by pressing the button on the front of the 039. While the zone is coming up to temperature, a green indicator light flashes on the front of the

039. Once the zone is up to temperature and the RUN TIME is counting down, the green indicator light on the front of the 039 is on solid.

Remote Display Module 040

The snow melting system is enabled by pressing the ▲ button on the 040 while in the VIEW menu. The 040 then displays the RUN TIME setting to allow the user to adjust it. Once the snow melting system is enabled, the word STRT is displayed for at least 5 seconds in the STATUS item while in the VIEW menu.

External Melt Demand (DIP switch set to Melt Demand)

The snow melting system is enabled when a voltage between 24 and 240 V (ac) is applied across the Melt/Idle Demand terminals (9 and 10). An external melt demand must be present for at least 4 seconds in order to start the snow melting system. If the RUN TIME reaches 0:00 and the external melt demand is still present, the control continues melting until the external melt demand is removed or the system is otherwise stopped.

Note: This operation only occurs if the Idle Demand / Melt Demand DIP switch is set to the Melt Demand position.

AUTOMATIC MELTING ENABLE (Snow / Ice Sensor 090)

The 665 uses the Snow / Ice Sensor 090 to provide an automatic melting enable signal to start the snow melting system. The control continually monitors the 090 for the presence of moisture. Once moisture is detected, the water pointer is displayed in the LCD and the snow melting system is enabled.

Water Detection Sensitivity (SENSTVTY)

The 665 has a Sensitivity setting which compensates for varying outdoor conditions which could affect how the moisture detector in the 090 interprets the presence of moisture. This adjustable setting is available through the SENSTVTY item in the ADJUST menu of the control. As snow becomes contaminated with dirt, and as the sensor itself becomes dirty, the control may incorrectly indicate the presence of water. If this condition occurs, clean the surface of the sensor and / or turn down the SENSTVTY setting. If the snow in your area is very clean, the SENSTVTY setting may need to be increased before snow is detected. If AUTO is selected, the control automatically adjusts the sensitivity level used to detect moisture.

Section C2: Snow Melting Disable

The snow melting system can be disabled manually or automatically. A melting disable signal applied to the control takes the zone out of the melting mode. Once the snow melting system is disabled, the zone operates in the idling mode. The idling mode allows the zone to be operated at either a lower temperature or turned off.

MANUAL MELTING DISABLE

A manual melting disable signal requires the user to manually stop the snow melting system and can be provided from the Stop button on the control, Remote Start / Stop Module 039, Remote Display Module 040, or an external idle demand.

Stop Button on the Control

The Stop button on the control can be used to stop the snow melting system. The snow melting system is disabled by pressing the Stop button on the control while in the VIEW menu. Once the snow melting system is disabled, the word STOP is displayed for 5 seconds in the STATUS item of the appropriate zone while in the VIEW menu.

Remote Start / Stop Module 039

A Remote Start / Stop Module 039 can be used to stop the snow melting system. The snow melting system is disabled by pressing the button on the face of the 039. When the system is stopped, a solid Red Indicator Light is displayed on the face of the 039 for five seconds. If the snow melting system is disabled while there is still an external melt demand for snow melting, the 039 displays a solid red indicator light until the external demand is removed.

Remote Display Module 040

A Remote Display Module 040 can be used to stop the snow melting system. The snow melting system is disabled by pressing the ▼ button on the 040 while in the VIEW menu. Once the snow melting system is disabled, the word STOP is displayed for 5 seconds in the STATUS item while in the VIEW menu.

External Idle Demand (DIP switch set to Idle Demand)

The snow melting system is disabled when a voltage between 24 and 240 V (ac) is applied across the Melt/Idle Demand te rmi nal s (9 and 10). A n ex ternal idle demand must be present for at least 4 seconds in order to stop the snow melting system.

Note: This operation only occurs if the Idle Demand / Melt Demand DIP switch is set to the Idle Demand position.

If the snow melting system is placed into Idling mode by an external idle demand, then a manual melting enable signal is applied, the idle demand is overridden until either the running time has expired, a stop signal is given, or the external idle demand is removed and reapplied.

AUTOMATIC MELTING DISABLE (Snow / Ice Sensor 090)

Once the 090 is dry, the Water pointer turns off in the LCD. The system slab temperature has to be at least the slab target temperature for a minimum of thirty minutes in order for the system to turn off. If a manual melting disable signal is applied the snow melting system turns off immediately.

Section D: Melting Operation

Section D1

General Melting

Operation

Section D1: General Melting Operation

In order for the snow melting system to be started, one of the methods described in section D1 must be used. Once a melting enable signal is applied and the system is not in WWSD or CWCO, the Melting mode begins. When the control is in the Melting mode, the Melting pointer is visible in the VIEW menu. The MELT setting in the ADJUST menu sets the slab surface temperature. When the system is melting and the slab temperature is warming up to the slab target temperature, STRT is displayed in the STATUS item while in the VIEW menu. The system finishes melting when the slab temperature has been at least the slab target temperature for a period of time. This period of time is based on whether an automatic or manual melting enable signal starts the snow melting system.

If an automatic melting enable signal starts the snow melting system and the slab temperature reaches the slab target temperature, DET is displayed in the STATUS item while in the VIEW menu. The system continues to melt until the 090 becomes dry and any additional running time has expired. Once the Melting mode is complete, the system operates in the Idling mode.

If a manual melting enable signal starts the snow melting system, the Running Time is displayed in the STATUS item while in the VIEW menu and begins counting down once the slab temperature reaches the slab target temperature. The system continues to melt until the running time counts down to 0:00 and there is no external melt demand. Once the Melting mode is complete, the system operates in the Idling mode. The table on page 14 describes how the control responds to enable and disable signals.

SLAB TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The 665 uses a snow / ice sensor or slab sensor to provide slab temperature control.

Slab Sensor

If a Slab Sensor is used, 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 temperature. Therefore, the slab core temperature is increased as the outdoor air temperature drops. The temperature displayed as SLAB is the temperature of the slab sensor.

Snow / Ice Sensor 090

The slab temperature is displayed as SLAB in the VIEW menu. This temperature is calculated from the edge and center sensors built into the 090.

SLAB TARGET TEMPERATURE (SLB TRG)

The SLAB TRG temperature is determined from the Melting setting, or Idle setting and the outdoor air temperature. The control displays the temperature that it is currently trying to maintain at the slab sensor. If the control does not presently have a requirement for heat, it displays “– – –“ in the STATUS item while in the VIEW menu.

ADDITIONAL MELTING TIME (ADD MELT)

In cases where areas of the snow melting system haven’t completely melted after the melting mode has finished and the 090 is dry, the 665 has a function in which additional time can be added to melt the zone. This is an adjustable time through the ADD MELT item in the ADJUST menu of the control. The ADD MELT time is calculated into a running time and is displayed in the STATUS item while in the VIEW menu. Once the 090 becomes dry and the slab temperature is at least the slab target temperature, the ADD MELT time starts counting down.

Idle

Section E1: General Idling Operation

When the snow melting system starts from a cold temperature, the time required for the system to reach the melting temperature may be excessive. To decrease this start up time, the 665 has an idling feature which can maintain the zone at a lower temperature. This feature is also useful for preventing frost and light ice formation. The IDLING setting in the ADJUST menu sets the slab surface temperature while the control is in the idling mode. When in the idling mode, IDLE is displayed in the STATUS item of the VIEW menu. If idling is not desirable, the IDLING setting may be set to OFF.

Section E2: Temporary Idle (TMPY IDL)

The temporary idle allows the control to enter the idle state for a set amount of time. If the snow ice detector does not detect snow during the temporary idle period, the control then leaves the idle state and returns to the OFF state. This is useful in applications where there is the possibility of snow and the slab can be pre-heated in order to have a short heat up time if snow is detected.

To enable a temporary idle, the Te m p o r a r y I d l e setting in the ADJUST menu must be set from OFF to the length of the temporary idle. The DIP Switch must be set to IDLE DEMAND and the IDLING must be set to a temperature. To activate a temporary idle, a voltage between 24 and 240 V (ac) must be applied across the Melt/Idle Demand terminals for at least 4 seconds.

When a Tem p orar y I d l e time is selected, the control has three available states: OFF, Temporary Idle, and Melting. The table below describes the action of the control:

Page 11

The control can be mounted on a standard DIN rail. First remove the control from its base and then, using the hooks and spring clip on the back of the control, mount it onto the DIN rail. This will be a popular option for those who prefer to mount the control inside a larger electrical panel.

The wiring can enter the bottom or the back of the enclosure. Knock-outs provided in the base allow the wiring to be run in conduit up to the enclosure. The base also has holes that line up with the mounting holes of most common electrical boxes.

STEP THREE

Caution:

SENSOR INSTALLATION

Do not run sensor wires parallel to telephone or power cables. If the sensor wires are located in an area with strong sources of electromagnetic interference, shielded cable or twisted pair should be used or the wires can be run in a grounded metal conduit. If using shielded cable, the shield wire should be connected to the Sensor Common terminal on the control and not to earth ground.

All electrical wiring terminates in the two wiring chambers on the control. If the control is to be mounted on an electrical box, the wiring can be roughed-in at the electrical box prior to installation of the control.

Power must not be applied to any of the wires during the rough-in wiring stage.

Mounting the Outdoor Sensor

Note: The temperature sensor (thermistor) is built into the enclosure.

Remove the screw and pull the front cover off the sensor enclosure.

The sensor can either be mounted directly onto a wall or a 2” x 4” electrical box . When wall mounted, the wiring should enter through the back or bottom of the enclosure. Do not mount the sensor with the conduit knockout facing upwards as rain could enter the enclosure and damage the sensor.

In order to prevent heat transmitted through the wall from affecting the sensor reading, it may be necessary to install an insulating barrier behind the enclosure.

The Outdoor Sensor should be mounted on a wall which best represents the heat load on the building (a northern wall for most buildings and a southern facing wall for buildings with large south facing glass areas). The sensor should not be exposed to heat sources such as ventilation or window openings.

The sensor should be installed at an elevation above the ground that will prevent accidental damage or tampering.

Wiring the Outdoor Sensor

Connect 18 AWG or similar wire to the two terminals provided in the enclosure and run the wires from the sensor to the control. Do not run the wires parallel to telephone or power cables. If the sensor wires are located in an area with strong sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI), shielded cable or twisted pair should be used or the wires can be run in a grounded metal conduit. If using shielded cable, the shield wire should be connected to the Com or Com Sen terminal on the control and not to earth ground.

Follow the sensor testing instructions in this brochure and connect the wires to the control.

Replace the front cover of the sensor enclosure.

STEP FOUR

All electrical wiring terminates in the control base wiring chamber. The base has standard 7/8” (22 mm) knockouts which accept common wiring hardware and conduit fittings. Before removing the knockouts, check the wiring diagram and select those sections of the chamber with common voltages. Do not allow the wiring to cross between sections as the wires will interfere with safety dividers which should be installed at a later time.

Melt / Idle Demand

To generate a melt demand or idle demand, a voltage between 24 V (ac) and 240 V (ac) must be applied across the Melt / Idle Demand terminals (9 and 10).

Output Connections

System Pump Contact (Sys P1)

The Sys P1 output terminal (15) on the 665 is a powered output. When the relay in the 665 closes, 115 V (ac) is provided to the Sys P1 terminal (15) from the Power L terminal (16). To operate the system pump, connect one side of the system pump circuit to terminal and the second side of the pump circuit to the neutral (N) side of the 115 V (ac) power supply.

Melting Contact

The Melting terminals (11 and 12) are an isolated output in the 665. There is no power available on these terminals from the control. These terminals are used as a switch to make or break an external circuit.

Sensor and Unpowered Input Connections

Do not apply power to these terminals as this will damage the control.

Outdoor Sensor

Connect the two wires from the Outdoor Sensor 070 to the Out and Com terminals (6 and 7). The outdoor sensor is used by the 665 to

measure the outdoor air temperature.

EITHER: Snow / Ice Sensor 090

Connect the red wire from the sensor cable to the Red terminal (1), connect the black wire from the sensor cable to the Blk terminal (2), connect the blue wire from the sensor cable to the Blu terminal (3), connect the yellow wire from the sensor cable to the Yel terminal (4) and connect the brown wire from the sensor cable to the Brn / Slab terminal (5). The snow / ice sensor is used by the 665 to measure the slab surface temperature of the zone. This sensor must be installed flush with the slab surface and 1/2 way between the heating pipes. See Data Brochure D 090 for installation instructions regarding the Snow / Ice Sensor 090 and Sensor Socket 091

If a Snow / Ice Sensor 090 is not used, a slab sensor can be used. If a slab sensor is used, connect the two wires from the slab sensor to the Blk and Brn / Slab terminals (2 and 5). The slab sensor is used by the 665 to measure the slab temperature of the zone.

Note: Proper sensor placement is critical for correct operation of the 665 control. The slab sensor must be installed 1/2 way between the heating pipes and 1’’ (25 mm) below the surface of the slab. Although the sensor can be installed directly into the slab, we recommend that the sensor be installed in tubing or conduit in such a manner that the sensor can be removed and replaced in case of failure.

tekmarNet® (tN2) Device

A Remote Display Module (RDM) 040 or Remote Start / Stop Module 039 can be connected to the tekmarNet® (tN2) input. Connect the Com terminal from the approp riate tN2 device to the Com terminal (7) on t he 665. Connect the tN2 terminal from the appropriate tN2 device to the tN2 terminal (8) on the 665.

Note: The wires from the RDM and Remote Start / Stop Module are polarity sensitive. The tN2 device does not operate correctly if the wires are reversed.

STEP SIX

Each terminal block must be unplugged from its header on the control before power is applied for testing. To remove the terminal block, pull straight down from the control.

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 Ω, is essential to properly test the wiring and sensors.

TESTING THE WIRING

Test the Sensors

In order to test the sensors, the actual temperature at each sensor location must be measured. A good quality digital thermometer with a surface temperature probe is recommended for ease of use and accuracy. Where a digital thermometer is not available, a spare sensor can be strapped alongside the one to be tested and the readings compared.

Com

Out

Test the Sensor Wiring

A good quality test meter capable of measuring up to 5,000 kΩ (1 kΩ = 1000 Ω) is required to measure the sensor resistance. In addition to this, the actual temperature must be measured with either a good quality digital thermometer, or if a thermometer is not available, a second sensor can be placed alongside the one to be tested and the readings compared.

First measure the temperature using the thermometer and then measure the resistance of the sensor at the control. The wires from the sensor must not be connected to the control while the test is performed. Using the chart below, estimate the temperature measured by the sensor. The sensor and thermometer readings should be close. If the test meter reads a very high resistance, there may be a broken wire, a poor wiring connection or a defective sensor. If the resistance is very low, the wiring may be shorted, there may be moisture in the sensor or the sensor may be defective. To test for a defective sensor, measure the resistance directly at the sensor location.

Do not apply voltage to a sensor at any time as damage to the sensor may result.

Testing the Control

The Snow Detector & Melting Control 665 has a built-in test routine which is used to test the main control functions. The 665 continually monitors the sensors and displays an error message whenever a fault is found. See the following pages for a list of the 665’s error messages and possible causes. When the Test button is pressed, the test light is turned on. The individual outputs and relays are tested in the following test sequence.

TEST SEQUENCE

Each step in the test sequence lasts 10 seconds.

During the test routine, the test sequence is paused by pressing the Test button. While paused, the control displays the testing step as well as the word PAUS. If the Te st button is not pressed again for 5 minutes while the test sequence is paused, the control exits the entire test routine. If the test sequence is paused, the Tes t button can be pressed again to advance to the next step. This can also be used to rapidly advance through the test sequence. To reach the desired step, repeatedly press and release the Te st button until the appropriate device and segment in the display turn on

Step 1 The system pump contact (Sys P1) is turned on for 10 seconds.

Step 2 The Heat contact is turned on for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the Heat relay and the Sys P1 relay are turned off.

Step 3 The Melting contact is turned on for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the melting relay is turned off.

MAX HEAT

The Snow Detector & Melting Control 665 has a function called Max Heat. In this mode, the 665 turns on and operates the system up to the maximum set temperatures, and the mixing device at the set percentage. The control continues to operate in this mode for up to 24 hours or until either the Item, Menu or Test button is pressed. This mode may be used for running all circulators during system start-up in order to purge air from the piping. To enable the Max Heat feature, use the following procedure.

1) Press and hold the Tes t button for more than 3 seconds. At this point, the control displays the words MAX HEAT and the word NO.

2) Using the ▲ or ▼ buttons, select the word YES. After 3 seconds, the control ﬂ ashes the word MANUAL and the number 100. This number represents the % on time of the Heat relay during each 20 minute cycle.

3) Set the desired Heat relay % on time by using the ▲ and / or ▼ buttons on the control.

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.

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 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 at tention 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 Testing section.

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.

Otherwise, the control will operate as if the Snow / Ice Sensor 090 is dry. Check the 090 water detection circuit (black and blue wires, terminals 2 and 3) according to the Data Brochure D 090. To clear the error message from the control after the error has been repaired, press either the Menu or Item button.

The control is no longer able to read the water detection circuit due to an open circuit. In this case, if the control is currently in the Melting mode, the control will ﬁ nish the snow melting cycle. The snow melting system can only be operated using an external melt demand, Remote Display Module 040, Remote Start / Stop Module 039 or the Start button on the control. Otherwise, the control will operate as if the Snow / Ice Sensor 090 is dry. Check the 090 water detection circuit (black and blue wires, terminals 2 and 3) according to the Data Brochure D 090. To clear the error message from the control after the error has been repaired, press either the Menu or Item button.

The control is reading a heater malfunction. In this case, unless the yellow sensor becomes too hot, the heater continues to try to operate. The snow melting system can only be operated using an external melt demand, Remote Display Module 040, Remote Start / Stop Module 039 or the Start button on the control. Check the 090 heater circuit (red and black wires, terminals 1 and 2) according to the Data Brochure D 090. Make sure the yellow and brown wires are not reversed. To clear the error message from the control after the error has been repaired, press either the Menu or Item button.

The control’s internal sensor is too hot (Above 160°F (71°C)). In this case, the control will turn off the heater in the Snow / Ice Sensor 090 until the control cools off. To clear the error message from the control after the error has been repaired, press either the Menu or Item button.

This warning message will be displayed if the Slab temperature does not increase to the SLAB TRG temperature while the system is melting within a set time. The time limit is set using the NO HEAT item in the MONITOR menu. To clear this warning, press either the Menu or Item button.
