MIX 2 DEMAND
The mix 2 demand allows the operation of the mixing 2 device to provide outdoor reset to 
the mix 2 supply loop or a mix 2 setpoint temperature can be set. A conventional thermostat 
system can be used for zoning from the mix 2 supply loop. A mix 2 demand is generated 
by applying a voltage between 24 and 230 V (ac) across the 
Mix2 Dem and Com Dem
terminals (27 and 26). Once voltage is applied, the
Mix 2 Demand pointer is displayed in
the LCD. If the control is not in WWSD, it will operate the mix 2 device and the mix 2 system 
pump (
Mix2 P3) to maintain the mixing 2 target temperature.
MIX MODES
The following modes can be set for mixing device 1:
Mix 1 Mode 0 – Mixing device 1 OFF
Mix 1 Mode 1 – Mixing Characterized Heating Curve 1
The following modes can be set for mixing device 2:
Mix 2 Mode 0 – Mixing device 2 OFF
Mix 2 Mode 1 – Mixing Characterized Heating Curve 2
Mix 2 Mode 2 – Mixing Setpoint
MIX MODE 1 - MIXING CHARACTERIZED HEATING CURVES
Each mixing device can have its own Mixing Characterized Heating Curve. The following settings will determine the Mixing 
Characterized Heating Curve: 
Mix Design
The Mix Design setting is the supply water temperature required to heat the mixing zones when the outdoor air is as cold as the 
Outdoor Design temperature.
Mixing Indoor
The Mix Indoor setting is the room temperature used in the original heat 
loss calculations for the building. This setting establishes the beginning 
of the Mixing Characterized Heating Curve for the mixing zones.
Mixing Room
The Mix Room setting is the desired room temperature for the mixing 
zones and it provides a parallel shift of the Mixing Characterized 
Heating Curve. The room temperature desired by the occupants is often 
different from the designed indoor temperature. If the room temperature 
is not correct, adjusting the Mix Room setting increases or decreases 
the amount of heat available to the building.
Mixing Target Temperature
The Mixing Target temperature is determined from the Mixing 
Characterized Heating Curve settings. The control displays the 
temperature that it is currently trying to maintain as the mixing supply 
temperature. If the control does not presently have a requirement for 
heat, it displays “– – –“ in the LCD.
Figure 30
Mixing Minimum
The Mixing Minimum setting is the lowest temperature that the control is allowed to use as a mix target temperature. During 
mild conditions, if the control calculates a mix target temperature that is below the Mixing Minimum setting, the mix target 
temperature is adjusted to match the Mix Minimum setting. During this condition, if the mixing supply temperature is near 
the Mixing Minimum setting, the 
Min segment turns on in the LCD when either the mix target temperature or the mix supply
temperature is being viewed.
Mixing Maximum
The Mixing Maximum sets the highest water temperature that the control is allowed to use as a mix target temperature. If the 
control does target the mix maximum setting, and the mix supply temperature is near the mixing maximum temperature, the 
Max
segment turns on in the LCD while either the mixing target temperature or the mixing supply temperature is viewed.
