Testing the Thermostat Wiring

Testing the Power
If the thermostat display turns on, this indicates that power is applied correctly. In the
event that the display is permanently off:
1. Remove the thermostat front.
2. Use an electrical meter to measure voltage between the R and C wiring terminals.
For AC power supplies the voltage should measure between 10 to 30 V (ac). For
DC power supplies the voltage should measure between 10 to 30 V (dc).
3. If the voltage on the R and C wire terminations is continuous and the thermostat
display is not on, the thermostat may have a fault. Contact your tekmar sales
representative for assistance.
If the thermostat display initially powers on but later shuts off intermittently, there may
be a short circuit from the W1, W2, Y or G wire to the power common or ground, or
the power supply is too small to power the load.
Testing the First Stage Heat Output Wiring
1. Press the Mode button and set to Heat.
2. Press the
temperature. Make sure the display does not flash "Max" if using a floor sensor.
3. When the "Heat On" symbol appears on the display, use an electrical meter to check
for voltage on the W1 and C wires connected to the zone valve, wiring center, relay
or switching relay. The electrical meter should read 10 to 30 V (ac) or (dc).
4. If the W1 and C wires have voltage, check the zone valve, wiring center, relay or
pump to determine if the heat device is operating correctly.
