Sequence of Operation

Heating and Cooling Operation

• The Heat On symbol is shown on the display when the thermostat is heating.
• Heating for freeze protection is provided whenever the air or floor temperature falls below 40°F (4.5°C), regardless of operating mode.
• The Cool On symbol is shown on the display when the thermostat is cooling.
• The thermostat supports two heating system types: 1) conventional, or 2) heat pump.

Conventional Systems
A conventional heating system includes furnaces, air conditioners, hydronic heating systems with baseboards, radiant floors, or fan coils, and electric heating. The thermostat supports up to two heating stages, two cooling stages, a fan, and two accessory relays.

Heating Differential
The first stage heat turns on when the air temperature falls 1.5°F (1°C) below the Heat To setting and shuts off when the air temperature reaches the Heat To setting. The second, third, and fourth stage heat each have an adjustable differential and time delay setting to determine when the stage turns on and shut off when they reach 1.5, 1.0, and 0.5°F (0.75, 0.5, and 0.25°C) of the Heat To setting respectively.

Radiant Floor Heating
Radiant floor heating is operated differently than other heating types due to the large time delays to heat and cools the slab. When Radiant Floor Heating is selected in the setup menu, the W1 relay operates using Pulse Width Modulation. This improves comfort for radiant systems with high-mass floors.

• 100% on time at Heat To setting -1.5°F
• 50% on time at Heat To setting
• 0% on time at Heat To setting + 1.5°F

Room Sensor and Averaging
The room temperature can be measured using a combination of built-in and auxiliary sensors.

• Built-in room sensor only
• Built-in room sensor with auxiliary room sensor(s) (temperature is averaged)
• Auxiliary room sensor only

Floor Sensor for Radiant Floor Heating
If a floor sensor is connected, floor minimum and maximum settings are available. For a combination of air and floor temperature control, leave the internal air sensor on in the setup menu. A floor minimum can be used to prevent a fast drop in temperature caused by receding solar exposure. This operation is recommended for areas heated by afternoon sun through large windows. When the sun sets, 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. A floor maximum is 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. If there is more than one-floor temperature sensor, the temperature is averaged.

Cooling Differentials
The first stage of cooling turns on when the air temperature rises 1.5°F (1°C) above the Cool To setting and shuts off when the air temperature reaches the Cool To setting. The second stage cooling has an adjustable differential and time delay setting to determine when the stage turns on, and shuts off when it reaches 0.5°F (0.25°C) above the Cool To setting.

Heat Pump Balance Point
An air source heat pump’s Coefficient of Performance (COP) declines with falling outdoor air temperature. The Balance Point is the outdoor temperature at which it is more economical to shut off the heat pump (relays Y1 and Y2) and operate the backup heating equipment (relays W1 and W2).

Dual Fuel
Dual fuel systems include a heat pump together with a backup heat source such as a furnace or a hydronic fan coil. When Dual Fuel is set to on, the heat pump (relays Y1 and Y2) is shut off whenever the backup heating equipment (relays W1 and W2) is operating.

Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD)
The heating system can automatically shut off based on the outdoor temperature and the WWSD setting. This provides a convenient way to shut off the heating system.

Cold Weather Shut Down (CWSD)
The cooling system can automatically shut off based on the outdoor temperature and CWSD setting. This prevents unwanted cooling during the winter.

Relative Humidity Operation
Relative Humidity Sensor
The thermostat includes an internal relative humidity (RH) sensor and has the option to connect to an external RH sensor. The installer has the option to disable the internal RH sensor when an external RH sensor is installed. When both the internal and external RH sensors are enabled, the RH reading is averaged.

Humidifier Operation
The thermostat controls the relative humidity (RH) by operating either the Accessory 1 or Accessory 2 relays. This is an installer configurable setting. When the RH is below the Humidify To setting by 3%, the Accessory 1 or 2 relays are closed to operate a humidifier. The humidifier is shut off when the RH reaches the Humidify To setting.

The thermostat can operate 3 types of humidifiers

• Stand Alone The humidifier is not connected to the HVAC system.
• The thermostat Mode can be set to Heat, Cool, Auto, or Off.
• Steam  The steam humidifier is ducted to the HVAC system.
• The thermostat Mode can be set to Heat, Cool, Auto, or Off.
• Requires the system fan to turn on when operating.
• Evaporative A drum-style humidifier that requires the heating system to operate to evaporate the water.
• This system requires the system fan to operate.
• The thermostat Mode must be set to Heat or Auto.

HRV / ERV Ventilator Operation
Ventilation with fresh outdoor air is important for maintaining indoor air quality. The thermostat can operate a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) or energy recovery ventilator (ERV) on a timer by closing the Accessory 1 relay to operate the ventilator fan at low speed.

Heat Pump Loop Valve Operation
The thermostat supports water-to-air heat pump systems that absorb or reject heat to a hydronic building loop. Whenever the heat pump compressor Y1 or Y2 relay is turned on, the Accessory 1 relay closes to open a hydronic zone valve. This allows variable-speed pumps on the hydronic loop to operate at lower speeds when the heat pump is off, thereby saving electrical energy.

Warranty

Limited Warranty The liability of tekmar under this warranty is limited. The Purchaser, by taking receipt of any tekmar product (“Product”), acknowledges the terms of the Limited Warranty in effect at the time of such Product sale and acknowledges that it has read and understands same. The tekmar Limited Warranty to the Purchaser on the Products sold hereunder is a manufacturer’s pass-through warranty which the Purchaser is authorized to pass through to its customers. Under the Limited Warranty, each tekmar Product is warranted against defects in workmanship and materials if the Product is installed and used in compliance with tekmar’s instructions, ordinary wear, and tear excepted. The pass-through warranty period is for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the production date if the Product is not installed during that period, or twelve (12) months from the documented date of installation if installed within twenty-four (24) months from the production date.

The liability of tekmar under the Limited Warranty shall be limited to, at tekmar’s sole discretion: the cost of parts and labor provided by tekmar to repair defects in materials and/or workmanship of the defective product; or to the exchange of the defective product for a warranty replacement product; or to the granting of credit limited to the original cost of the defective product, and such repair, exchange or credit shall be the sole remedy available from tekmar, and, without limiting the foregoing in any way, tekmar is not responsible, in contract, tort or strict product liability, for any other losses, costs, expenses, inconveniences, or damages, whether direct, indirect, special, secondary, incidental or consequential, arising from ownership or use of the product, or from defects in workmanship or materials, including any liability for fundamental breach of contract. The pass-through Limited Warranty applies only to those defective Products returned to tekmar during the warranty period. This Limited Warranty does not cover the cost of the parts or labor to remove or transport the defective Product, or to reinstall the repaired or replacement Product, all such costs and expenses being subject to Purchaser’s agreement and warranty with its customers.

Any representations or warranties about the Products made by Purchaser to its customers which are different from or in excess of the tekmar Limited Warranty are the Purchaser’s sole responsibility and obligation. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold tekmar harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, and damages of any kind or nature which arise out of or are related to any such representations or warranties by Purchaser to its customers.

The pass-through Limited Warranty does not apply if the returned Product has been damaged by negligence by persons other than tekmar, accident, fire, Act of God, abuse or misuse; or has been damaged by modifications, alterations or attachments made subsequent to purchase which have not been authorized by tekmar; or if the Product was not installed in compliance with tekmar’s instructions and/or the local codes and ordinances; or if due to defective installation of the Product; or if the Product was not used in compliance with tekmar’s instructions.

THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHICH THE GOV-ERNING LAW ALLOWS PARTIES TO CONTRACTU-ALLY EXCLUDE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DURABILITY, OR DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT, ITS NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY RELEVANT PATENTS OR TRADEMARKS, AND ITS COMPLIANCE WITH OR NON-VIOLATION OF ANY APPLICABLE ENVIRON-MENTAL, HEALTH OR SAFETY LEGISLATION; THE TERM OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY NOT HEREBY CONTRACTUALLY EXCLUDED IS LIMITED SUCH THAT IT SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND TWEN-TY-FOUR (24) MONTHS FROM THE PRODUCTION DATE, TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LIMITATION IS ALLOWED BY THE GOVERNING LAW.

Product Warranty Return Procedure All Products that are believed to have defects in workmanship or materials must be returned, together with a written description of the defect, to the tekmar Representative assigned to the territory in which such Product is located. If tekmar receives an inquiry from someone other than a tekmar Representative, including an inquiry from Purchaser (if not a tekmar Representative) or Purchaser’s customers, regarding a potential warranty claim, tekmar’s sole obligation shall be to provide the address and other contact information regarding the appropriate Representative.
