Tekmar 530 Non-Programmable Thermostat

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your tekmarNet® Thermostat! This product contains the most advanced HVAC control technology in order to ensure that your heating and cooling systems run more efficiently and provide you with the highest level of comfort.
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, cooling, and fan operation for one zone in your building. The cooling system may send cool air into more than one heating zone, in which case this thermostat will coordinate the change from heating to cooling. The fan can be run with heating, cooling, or on its own to provide fresh air through ventilation.
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.

Temperature Adjustment

This thermostat can operate at day or night temperatures (see “Day or Night Temperatures” section) for HEAT and COOL settings. The temperature can be adjusted as follows:

Step 1:	Press the button until the desired temperature is displayed.
Step 2:	Release all buttons and wait for the display to return to normal operation. The adjusted settings will be saved in memory.

You will be adjusting the temperature of the current operating mode. To adjust temperature settings that are not shown on the screen, you must enter into the Adjust Menu as described in the “Adjust Menu” section. There may be other symbols on the screen that affect thermostat operation. Please see the “Display Symbols” section for a description of each symbol.

tekmarNet® Energy Saving Accessories

• 479 User Switch
  With the touch of a button, tell every thermostat in your house to operate at their night setback or Away temperature.
• 033 Timer
  Program a night setback schedule for all of your thermostats with one device.

Examples of these settings are as follows:

Mode of Operation	day	night
HEAT example:	70°F (21°C)	65°F (18°C)
COOL example:	78°F (26°C)	85°F (30°C)

Note: The presence of a schedule is indicated by the clock symbol.

Operating Mode

This thermostat has 4 operating modes: Auto, Cool, Heat, and Off. In order to change the thermostat mode:

When in Off mode, the thermostat will still operate heating in order to protect the building from freezing. If the air temperature drops below 40°F (4.5°C), heating will be turned on.
When in Auto mode, the thermostat will automatically switch between heating and cooling with the following conditions:

Step 1:	Press the Mode button until the desired Mode is displayed.
Step 2:	Wait for the display to return to normal operation. The thermostat will be operating in the selected Mode.

• There will be a 30 minute interlock period when switching from heating to cooling where no heating or cooling will take place. This is to prevent excessive cycling of equipment and wasted energy.
• In Auto mode, the thermostat will not allow adjustment of heating and cooling settings to within 3°F (1.5°C) of each other. If you adjust the heating setpoint within 3°F (1.5°C) of the cooling setpoint, the cooling setpoint will be automatically adjusted to the heating setpoint plus 3°F (1.5°C) and vice versa. This is also to prevent excessive equipment cycling and wasted energy.

Fan Operation

The fan should already be programmed to operate as necessary for heating, cooling, and ventilation. However, the fan operation can be changed manually by pressing the Fan button.

Step 1:	Press the Fan button repeatedly until the desired Fan operation is displayed
Step 2:	Release all buttons and wait for the display to return to normal operation. The adjusted setting will be saved in memory

The fan operation will appear in the top right corner of the screen when the fan button is pressed. The following table describes each mode.

Auto	The fan will operate as programmed when required for heating, cooling, or ventilation.
On	The fan will run continuously. Heating and cooling operation will occur as programmed.
10-90%	This will only be available if ventilation has been programmed to be on. This is the percentage of each hour the fan will run for.
Off	This will only be available if the thermostat does not require the fan for heating or cooling. The fan will not run.

If a % run time is selected, the thermostat will run the fan as needed for heating or cooling operation, then will continue operation if necessary to satisfy the % run time requirement. For example, if a 50% run time is chosen (30 minutes out of 60) and the heating or cooling has only run for 25% of an hour (15 minutes), the thermostat will run the fan by itself for another 15 minutes.
Note: This thermostat can be configured such that the fan button does not have  any effect. Consult your installer or this product’s Installation and Operation Manual for more information.
