Tekmar 532 Non-Programmable Thermostat Installation Guide

Tekmar 532 Non-Programmable Thermostat

Introduction

The tekmarNet® Thermostat 532 is a communicating thermostat designed for one-stage hydronic heating systems. The 532 accurately controls the room and/or floor temperature for a hydronic heating system using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology. Simple up and down buttons and a display with a large type make this thermostat easy to read and use. It has two auxiliary sensor inputs that can be assigned to measure the room, floor, or outdoor temperature. An optional floor sensor protects the floor from overheating and enhances comfort. The 532 can be wired using 2 or 4 wires to connect to the market zoning controls or can be installed as a stand-alone thermostat using 3 wires.

Testing the Thermostat Wiring

CAUTION
Only qualified personnel should perform testing procedures. A licensed electrician is recommended.

Testing tN2 Wiring
It is normal for the thermostat to take up to 20 seconds to power on once connected to a tN2 system. If the thermostat display does not turn on after 20 seconds, try moving the thermostat tN2 wire connections to another zone on the tN2 Wiring Center or tN2 Zone Manager. If the thermostat display does not power on, contact your tekmar sales representative for assistance.
Testing tN4 and Stand Alone Wiring
Power
If the thermostat display does not power on, remove the thermostat front and test for 24 V(ac) ±10% between the R and C wiring terminals. If the voltage is incorrect, check the voltage at the transformer. If the transformer measures 24 V(ac) ±10% between the R and C, then there may be an open circuit along the wires. If the thermostat display turns off when powering the heat relay and the load, then the transformer VA capacity is too small and a larger transformer is required.

Heat Relay
Push the button and set the temperature below the current room or floor temperature. There should be no “Heat On” symbol on the display. Measure the voltage on the heating equipment (wiring center, zone valve, or relay). The voltage measure 0 V(ac). Then push the button and set the temperature above the current room or floor temperature. The “Heat On” symbol should appear. Make sure that the display does not show “WWSD” or “Max” which limits the operation of the heat relay. Measure the voltage on the heating equipment (wiring center, zone valve, or relay). The voltage should measure 24 V (ac). If there is no voltage check to ensure that any necessary jumper wires are installed and check the wires for open or short circuits.
tN4 Communication
The symbol is shown on the display when communication is present. If the thermostat is connected in a network and the communication is missing, there may be an open or short circuit on the tN4 and C bus wires.

Switch Settings

The switch settings are located on the rear of the thermostat face.

Switch	Position	Action

Sequence of Operation

Heating Operation

To change the heat temperature setting, push the or button to select a preferred temperature setting. The Heat On symbol is shown on the display when the thermostat is heating. The heat can cycle on and off within +/- 1.5°F (1°C) of the temperature setting.
The floor and air heating can be shut off by holding the button until Set Room is Off.
To resume heating when the Mode is Off, press the button to navigate to the Mode setting, then press the button to select Mode Heat. The thermostat will resume heating at the last previously set temperature.

Air Temperature Only
If there is only an air temperature sensor (no floor sensor), the thermostat operates to control your desired air temperature.

Floor Temperature Only
If the air sensor has been disabled, the thermostat will only maintain floor temperature and ignore air temperature. This operation is recommended for areas such as bathrooms to ensure that tile floors are warm to the touch.

Floor and Air Temperature
If the air sensor is turned on and a floor sensor is connected, the thermostat will maintain the desired air temperature as well as a minimum floor temperature.
This operation is recommended for areas with large windows that allow the sun to shine into a room and keep it warm without the need for heating. This can allow the floors to cool off during the afternoon. When the sun goes down, it can take a long time for the floors to get warm again. This may cause the room to cool off too much in the early evening. A floor minimum setting can help with this condition by maintaining a floor minimum temperature. Keep in mind the floor minimum temperature will override the air temperature, and if set too high, may overheat the room.
This operation is also recommended for rooms with hardwood floors. Setting floor minimum and maximum temperatures is a way of enhancing the comfort of the living space while protecting floor coverings.

Room Minimum and Maximum
Room Minimum and Maximum temperature settings are available in the Setup menu. These allow the installer to select start and stop limits for the temperature setting. This is useful in commercial installations and child or guest bedrooms where availability of the full temperature setting range may not be desirable.

Warm Weather Shut Down
When the outdoor air temperature exceeds the Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD) setting on the tekmarNet main control, the heating system is shut off.

Freeze Protection
The thermostat operates the heat whenever the room or floor temperature falls below 40°F (4.5°C) even when the mode is set to off.

Exercising
When connected to a tekmarNet system control, the thermostat exercises the heat relay for 10 seconds every 3 days. Exercising helps prevent zone valves or zone pumps from failing due to precipitate buildup. During exercising, the relay turns on but is not shown on the display.

Flushing
The flushing feature is for open-loop systems that use a domestic hot water tank as a heat source.
Flushing ensures that fresh potable water is circulated through the system once each day. If the thermostat is connected to a tekmarNet system control with the flushing feature turned on, the relay turns on but is not shown on the display.

Hydronic System Supply Pump
When connected to a tekmarNet system control, the thermostat’s W Pump setting affects how the primary pump or mix pump on the system control operates. When connected to the boiler bus, the boiler system or primary pump is operated when W Pump is set on. When connected to the mix bus, the mix system pump is operated when W Pump is set on.
If the thermostat operates a thermal motor (wax actuator) zone valve, set the W Delay setting to on.
This provides a three-minute delay to allow the zone valve to open before the primary or mix pump is turned on.
In special applications with multiple zoning manifolds, the W Pump setting can be set to off. This allows a Zone Group Pump located on the Zone Manager or Wiring Center to operate the pump for the manifold.

DHW Tank Priority
When a tekmarNet® system control is heating an Indirect Domestic Hot Water (DHW) tank, the thermostat may shut off the heating zones to allow the DHW tank to recover quickly. This is determined by the DHW priority of the tekmarNet system control.

Air Group Operation

In order to prevent heating and cooling at the same time, this thermostat can operate together with other thermostats on a tekmarNet system to form an air group.
In an air group, a heat-cool thermostat is assigned as the air group master. The air group master operates the cooling and air heating equipment for the group. The 532 can be set to be a member of the air group.
When operating as an air group, the air temperature readings of all the air group member thermostats are communicated to the air group master thermostat and an average temperature is determined.
When the air group master is in cooling operation, the air group member thermostats do not operate the heating system for air heating. Once the cooling system shuts off, heating is available if required.
Some air group master thermostats have the ability to prevent radiant floor heating while the air heating system is operating during mild outdoor temperatures. Once the outdoor temperature falls below the first stage warm weather shut down setting, the air group member thermostats are allowed to heat if required.

Schedules

Lowering the room temperature setting reduces the amount of fuel required to heat the building, resulting in energy savings.
This thermostat can follow a programmable schedule in order to automatically lower the room temperature setting. A schedule master such as a Timer 033 or a programmable tekmarNet thermostat 552, 553, 554, or 557 is required in order to gain programmable schedule functionality.
When operating on a programmable schedule, a or a is shown on the display.

Display	Action
	Programmable schedule at occupied temperature.
	Programmable schedule at unoccupied temperature.

When a programmable schedule is selected, there is a time delay from the temperature in the room to change from thetemperature to the temperature.
When a schedule is set, the thermostat uses Optimum Start to predict the heat-up and cool-off rate of the room. The optimum start feature allows the room to reach the set room temperature by the time set in the programmable schedule.

Scenes (System Override)

Scenes provide an easy way to save energy while away on vacation or override a preset schedule when plans change. tekmarNet® devices such as a User Switch 479 provide scene adjustment.
This thermostat responds to the following scenes:

Scene	Display	Room Temperature Setting
1		Follows the programmable schedule or operates at the occupied temperature
2		Away temperature
3		Unoccupied  temperature

While in the Away scene, the room temperature cannot be changed using the or button.
Change the scene from Away to or to change the temperature.

tekmarNet® Address

When connected to a tekmarNet® system, each thermostat will be automatically given an address.
The address is useful as a troubleshooting tool to locate thermostats with errors and also allows room naming on a Gateway.
The address consists of the bus water temperature followed by the thermostat device number.
Available buses are b (boiler), 1, 2, and 3. Device numbers range from 01 to 24. If the thermostat is used without a tekmarNet® system control, the bus number is not shown.
When using the thermostat together with a Gateway, it is important that each address be manually set. This allows each thermostat to be named on the  Gateway.
If two thermostats are manually set to the same address, an error message will appear. The error remains until one of the addresses is manually changed to a vacant address or to Auto.
It is highly recommended to keep a documented list of thermostat addresses. This is extremely helpful when troubleshooting errors. The tekmarNet® system control will display addresses of thermostats that have errors. Referring to the address documentation simplifies the process to locate and correct errors.

Lock/Unlock And Access Levels

The thermostat can be either locked or unlocked. When locked, there are fewer settings available in the Setup menu. There are two locations to lock the  thermostat:

1. Locally on the back of the thermostat using the Lock switch.
2. Globally on the tekmarNet® system control using the Lock switch or Access Level set to User.
   Both the local and global lock settings must be set to unlock before all thermostat settings are available. Once installation is complete, it is recommended to lock the thermostat.
