The control can also be mounted on a standard DIN rail. (See fig. i) First remove the control from its base and then, using the hooks and spring clip on the back of the control, mount it onto the DIN rail. This will be a popular option for those who prefer to mount the control inside a larger electrical panel.

INSTALLATION - STEP 8 COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION Once you have successfully tested all the wiring and found that everything is operational, you are ready to complete the installation. 1) Make sure all power to the devices and terminal blocks is off, and remove any remaining jumpers from the terminals 2) Reconnect the terminal blocks to the control by carefully aligning them with their respective headers on the control...
Menu item or control function, please refer to the Control Function Overview Section. Important (Please Read): The proMIX 101 is now fully installed and ready for a trained, qualified individual to begin entering the settings that will help it control a hydronic radiant heating system at its most efficient level.
PROGRAMMING THE “ADJUST” MENU OM WWSD There are two modes in which the proMIX 101 will operate – Reset and Setpoint. Reset mode will create a relationship UNOCC between the supply water and outdoor air temperatures. As the outdoor air cools, the supply water temperature to the...

MIXING SYSTEM PUMP (P1) OPERATION The System Pump (P1) contacts (terminals 5 and 6) closes whenever there is a Mixing Demand and the proMIX 101 is not in WWSD. • After the Mixing Demand is removed, the System Pump (P1)
This function is used to reset the existing reset ratio based on lower room heat demands during unoccupied versus occupied time periods. The proMIX 101 does not actively use this function. To be truly effective, this function should be incorporated with a master setback thermostat with the ability to slave all other thermostats to the setback activity.
CONTROL FUNCTION OVERVIEW - SECTION B MIXING ZONE The proMIX 101 can provide a reset or setpoint supply water temperature from the primary boiler loop to a secondary mixed loop via a floating action 3-way valve. The following section provides information on screen function activities for the control.
Page 40
MIXING SUPPLY TARGET TEMPERATURE – RESET MODE (MIX TARGET) (See fig. e) MIX TRG temperature is determined from the reset ratio settings established from the input settings in the ADJUST Menu. With a heat demand, the control displays the temperature it is currently trying to maintain as the mixing supply temperature.
In this case, when the boiler is firing and the boiler return water temperature is below the BOIL MIN setting, the proMIX 101 turns on the BOIL MIN segment in the LCD. The control will then reduce the heating load on the boiler by limiting the output of the floating action 3-way valve.
CONTROL FUNCTION OVERVIEW - SECTION C TROUBLESHOOTING When troubleshooting any heating system, it is a good idea to establish a set routine to follow. Below is an example of a sequence you can use when diagnosing or troubleshooting problems in a hydronic heating system.

Sketch the piping of the system This is a relatively simple step that tends to be overlooked, however it can often save hours of time in troubleshooting a system. Use your sketch to: • Note flow directions in the system–paying close attention to the location of the pumps, check valves, pressure bypass valves and mixing valves •...
Test the contacts, voltages and sensors Using a multimeter: • Ensure that the control is receiving adequate voltage to the power terminals and the demand terminals as noted in the technical data • Determine if the internal contacts on the control are opening and closing correctly •...

Error Messages EEPROM ERROR (See fig. a) The control was unable to read a piece of information from its VIEW EEPROM. This error can be caused by a noisy power source. The control will load the factory defaults and stop operation until all the settings are verified.
Error Messages (continued) MIXING SUPPLY SENSOR OPEN (See fig. e) The control is no longer able to read the mixing supply VIEW sensor due to a short circuit. In this case the control will operate the floating action 3-way valve at a fixed position as long as there is a mixing demand.
