Mixing Control 362
The Mixing Control 362 is a microprocessor based control with two distinct operating modes.
MODE —1— allows the control to provide a reset mixed supply water temperature to a heating system based on outdoor air temperature.
Multiple zone temperature controls can be achieved by using either a conventional thermostat system or by using tekmar Zone Controls
attached to the 362. For single zone heating applications, a single Room Temperature Unit (RTU) can be connected directly to the 362
for zone temperature control.
MODE —2— allows the control to provide a single zone of snow melting. With the addition of a Snow Melting Kit 092, the 362 can
provide slab temperature control and slab ΔT protection. The melting mode is initiated manually either with a demand signal or from the
Snow Melting Kit enabling device.
The 362 incorporates a large Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) in order to provide system status and operating information. The same LCD
is used when setting up and installing the control. Standard features for both modes of operation include boiler return protection,
intelligent boiler operation, Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD), and pump exercising. As well, with the addition of a new Monitor
feature, it is now possible to track pump and boiler running hours, boiler cycles and high and low sensor temperatures. The 362 also has
a unique feature that allows the control to supply heat to the mixed system from either the boiler or a thermal storage tank.
Note:
Mixing demand must be
powered with 20 to 260
V (ac) before the mixing
valve is able to open and
the boiler is able to fire.

Summary of Contents for Tekmar 362

  • Page 1 MODE —2— allows the control to provide a single zone of snow melting. With the addition of a Snow Melting Kit 092, the 362 can provide slab temperature control and slab ΔT protection. The melting mode is initiated manually either with a demand signal or from the Snow Melting Kit enabling device.
  • Page 2: Table Of Contents

    User Interface The 362 uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) as the method of supplying information. You use the LCD in order to setup and monitor the operation of your system. The 362 has four push buttons (Menu, Item, , ) for selecting and adjusting settings.

  • Page 4: Sequence Of Operation

    POWERING UP THE CONTROL When the Mixing Control 362 is powered up, the control displays the control type number in the LCD for 2 seconds. Next, the software version is displayed for 2 seconds. Finally, the control enters into the normal operating mode and the LCD defaults to displaying the current outdoor air temperature.
  • Page 5: Section B: Mixing Reset

    EXERCISING (EXERCISE) The 362 has a built-in pump and valve exercising function. The exercising period is adjustable and comes factory set at 70 hours. If a pump or valve output on the control has not been operated at least once during every exercising period, the control turns on the output for 10 seconds.
  • Page 6 If either an Indoor Sensor or a Room Temperature Unit (RTU) is used and the 362 is operating at the MIX MIN temperature, the Mixing Pump is cycled using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) with a 15 minute cycle length. By cycling the Mixing Pump and controlling the flow of supply water, the control provides an average supply water temperature to the mixing system.
  • Page 7 MIXING PUMP OPERATION (Mix Pmp) The Mixing Pump contact ( Mix Pmp , terminal 5) closes whenever there is a Mixing Demand and the 362 is not in WWSD. During WWSD, the mixing pump is operated based on the EXERCISE setting in the Adjust Menu.
  • Page 8 If a permanent override is selected, the 362 operates in the selected override mode until a new override is selected. Away (AWAY) If the AWAY override is selected, the 362 operates with a fixed WWSD of 62˚F (17˚C) and a fixed room temperature of 62˚F (17˚C). BOOSTING (BOOST) When the control changes from the UnOccupied to the Occupied mode, it enters into a Boosting mode.
  • Page 9: Section C: Snow Melting

    Section B2: Alternate Mixing Demands (Mode —1—) In addition to using conventional thermostats to provide a mixing demand as described in Section B1, the 362 can use a number of other methods to provide a mixing demand. 10K INDOOR SENSOR (10K = INDR)
  • Page 10 At low temperatures, the glycol solutions used in snow melting systems become very viscous and difficult to pump. In order to overcome ∆ this condition during a cold start of a snow melting system, the 362 is allowed to exceed the T MAX setting for a period of time in order to warm the glycol solution.
  • Page 11 Section C2: Snow Melting Enable (Mode —2—) There are three methods in which the snow melting system can be enabled on the Mixing Control 362. Either an External Demand , a Remote Start / Stop Module 039 or a Remote Display Module 040 can be used to start the snow melting system.
  • Page 12 In cases where a slab sensor has not been or cannot be installed in the snow melting slab, it is possible for the Mixing Control 362 to operate the snow melting system. This mode of operation is not recommended since the control can no longer regulate the slab temperature.
  • Page 13: Section D: Boiler Operation

    MELTING MODE (MELTING) The Mixing Control 362 is a manual snow melting control. In order for the snow melting system to be started, one of the three methods described in Section C2 must be used. When the control is in the melting mode, the Melting pointer is displayed in the View Menu and either EXT, INF or a running time can be read when viewing the SNOWMELTitem in the View menu.
  • Page 14 FIRE DELAY (FIRE DLY) The FIRE DLY is the delay time that may happen between the time that the 362 closes the boiler contact and the burner fires. This delay is usually the result of a burner pre-purge or other forms of time delay built into the burner’s safety circuits.
