The following brochure describes how to wire the tekmar tekmarNet®4 (tN4) thermostat 544. The 544 has outputs for:
one heat stage, one cooling stage and one fan. The 544 has inputs for two auxiliary sensors. The wiring of 544 thermostat
is simple and cost effective.

INSTALLATION
CATEGORY II
– Local level appliances.
Caution
Improper installation and operation of this control could result
in damage to the equipment and possibly even personal
injury or death. It is your responsibility to ensure that this
control is safely installed according to all applicable codes
and standards. This electronic control is not intended for
uses as a primary limit control. Other controls that are
Rough-In Wiring
Choose the placement of the thermostats early in the
construction process to enable proper wiring during
rough-in.
Consider the following:
Interior Wall
Keep dry. Avoid potential leakage onto the control.
RH 80% to 88°F (31°C), down to 50% from 104 to
122°F (40 to 50°C). Non-condensing environment.
No exposure to extreme temperatures beyond 32 - 122°F
(0 - 50°C)
No draft, direct sun, or other cause for inaccurate
temperature readings.
intended and certified as safety limits must be placed into
the control circuit. Do not attempt to service the control.
Refer to qualified personnel for servicing. Apart from any
field replaceable fuse(s) there are no user serviceable
parts. Attempting to do so voids warranty and could result
in damage to the equipment and possibly even personal
injury or death.
Away from equipment, appliances, or other sources of
electrical interference.
Easy access for wiring, viewing, and adjusting the display
screen.
Approximately 5 ft. (1.5 m) off the finished floor.
Use standard 18 AWG wire for the thermostat power, stages
tN4 and sensor connections.
Refer to the diagram below to determine the number of
conductors to run from each piece of equipment to the
thermostat location.
run to the same equipment
location, wiring conductors
can share one wire jacket.

To remove the wiring cover:
Place a small slot screwdriver or similar tool into the slot
located on the right side of the thermostat.
While pushing against the plastic tab, lift off the wiring
cover.
Mounting the Thermostat
If a single or double gang switch box is used, mount the
thermostat directly to the box.
Feed the wiring through the openings in the back of the
thermostat.
Use the upper and lower screw holes to fasten the
thermostat to the box.

Feed the wiring through the openings in the back of the
thermostat.
Use screws in the upper and lower screw holes to fasten
the thermostat to the wall. At least one of the screws
should enter a wall stud or similar rigid material.

Electrical Drawings
The electrical drawing examples on the following
pages show the 544 in common applications. Choose
the drawing that most accurately depicts the components
in your system and use that drawing as a guide to aid in
wiring your system.
These are only concept drawings, not engineered drawings.
They are not intended to describe a complete system nor
any particular system. It is up to the system designer to
determine the necessary components for and configuration
of the particular system being designed including additional
equipment isolation relays (for loads greater than the
controls specified output ratings) and any safety devices
which in the judgement of the designer are appropriate in
order to properly size, configure and design that system
and to ensure compliance with building and safety code
requirements.
