Sequence of Operation
• When the Mixing Setpoint Control 153 Floating Action is powered-up the digital display will show all of the display elements. The
control will then monitor sensor Supply (1) temperature. If a Boiler Return (2) sensor is connected, pressing and releasing the
Item button will toggle the display between Supply (1) and Boiler Return (2) temperature readings.
Floating Action Operating Mode
•
If the relay Open (O) is constantly on, the measured temperature is at least
1/2 the throttling range setting below the setpoint. The mixing valve should
be opening or fully opened because more heat is required.
•
If the relay Close (C) is constantly on, the measured temperature is at least
1/2 the throttling range setting above the setpoint. The mixing valve should
be closing or fully closed.
•
Floating Action occurs when the measured temperature is between these two
points (Throttling range).

Programming and
display buttons
The tekmar Mixing Setpoint Control 153 is a microprocessor-based control with a floating action output
intended to operate a mixing valve, damper, etc. through an actuating motor.
This reliable and versatile control has an adjustable throttling range and a very wide setpoint range that
makes it useable in many different applications. The control has a digital LCD window that normally shows
the actual sensor temperature and can be used to view the setpoint and other programmed settings.
A Universal Sensor 071 is supplied with the control. The wire to the sensor may be extended for any length
up to 500 ft. (150m) by standard 18 AWG low voltage wire. When an optional return sensor is added, a
minimum boiler return temperature can be constrained. The display will indicate a sensor fault whenever
the sensor is disconnected or short circuited, or the return sensor is short circuited.
