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)

Definitions
The following defined terms and symbols are used throughout this manual to bring attention to the presence of hazards of various risk
levels, or to important information concerning the life of the product.
- Warning Symbol: Indicates presence of hazards which can cause severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage if ignored.
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 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.
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.
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.

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.
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:
Improper installation and operation of this control could result in damage to the equipment and possibly even personal injury. It is your
responsibility to ensure that this control is safely installed to all applicable codes and standards. This electronic control is not intended
for use as a primary limit control. Other controls that are intended and certifi ed as safety limits must be placed into the control circuit.
Do not open the control. Refer to qualifi ed personnel for servicing. Opening voids warranty and can result in damage to the equipment
and possibly even personal injury.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
Make sure exposed wires and bare terminals are not in contact with other wires or grounded surfaces. Turn on the power and
measure the voltage between the Power L and Power N terminals
(16 and 17) using an AC voltmeter, the reading should be between
103.5 and 126.5 V (ac).

Heat Contact
If a zone pump or zone valve is connected to Heat terminals (11 and 12), make sure power to the pump or valve circuit is off and
install a jumper between the Heat terminals (11 and 12). When the circuit is powered up, the zone pump should turn on or the
valve should open completely. If no response occurs, check the wiring between the terminal and the pump or valve and refer
to any installation or troubleshooting information supplied with these devices.
Melting
If a device is connected to the Melting terminals (13 and 14), make sure power to the circuit is off, and install a jumper
between the terminals. When the circuit is powered up, the device should operate. If the device does not operate, refer to
any installation or troubleshooting information supplied with the device. If the device operates properly, disconnect the power
and remove the jumper.
Connecting The Control
Make sure all power to the devices and terminal blocks is off, and
remove any remaining jumpers from the terminals.
Reconnect the terminal blocks to the control by carefully aligning
them with their respective headers on the control, and then pushing
the terminal blocks into the headers. The terminal blocks should
snap firmly into place.
Install the supplied safety dividers between the unpowered sensor
inputs and the powered wiring chambers.
Apply power to the control. The operation of the control on power up
is described in the Sequence of Operation section of the brochure.
The control’s exterior can be cleaned using a damp cloth. Moisten cloth with water and wring out prior to wiping control. Do no use
solvents or cleaning solutions.
DIP Switch Settings

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.
4) To cancel the Max Heat mode, press either the Item, Menu, or Test
5) Once the Max Heat mode has either ended or is cancelled, the control resumes normal
operation.
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.
Understanding

Operation
Use the Test
Routine

Control
Isolate the
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.
