tekmar 256 Boiler Control - Manual (Page 2)

This brochure is organized into four main sections. They are: 1) Sequence of Operation, 2) Installation, 3) Control Settings, and 4)
Troubleshooting. The Sequence of Operation section has three sub-sections. We recommend reading Section A: General Operation
of the Sequence of Operation, as this contains important information on the overall operation of the control. Then read the sub-sec-
tions that apply to your installation. For quick installation and setup of the control, refer to the Installation section, DIP Switch Setting
section, followed by the Quick Setup section.
The Control Settings section (starting at DIP Switch Setting) of this brochure, describes the various items that are adjusted and displayed
by the control. The control functions of each adjustable item are described in the Sequence of Operation.
Reference Material: Essay E 003 “Characterized Heating Curve and Reset Ratio”
The 256 uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) as the method of supplying information. You use the LCD in order to set up and monitor the
operation of your system. The 256 has three push buttons (Item, , ) for selecting, viewing, and adjusting settings. As you program
your control, record your settings in the ADJUST menu table which is found in the second half of this brochure.

display. To view the next available item, press and release the Item button. Once you
have reached the last available item, pressing and releasing the Item button will return
the display to the fi rst item.
