For 4-20mA control of the heater(s) firing rate, the
following control conditions apply:
ON/OFF relay at the external controller or BMS must
be wired to R and W terminals on the heater control
board to turn the heater ON and OFF.
(Open Circuit = OFF, Closed Circuit = ON).
Minimum rated input at 1% of signal (0-2mA).
Full rated input at 90% of signal (18mA).
Input varies linearly between 2mA and 18mA.
BMS controllers often offer PID loop control that can
optimize output signal and rate of change of the
output signal. Common analog application is defined
as follows:
1. BMS sensors that monitor zone air
temperatures are located in the heating space.

* Separate on/off switch is optional for "satellite" heaters (install at user level). On/Off switch is used to
disable heater operation or reset a heater that is in "lockout" mode. If on/off switch is not desired, leave
jumper wire between R and W terminals in place.

2. Based on sensed temperatures, the BMS will
output an analog signal for the desired heater(s)
firing rate.
3. As heater(s) receive the analog signal from the
BMS, the heater(s) modulate to the correspond-
ing firing rate.
4. As sensed air temperature rises closer to the
desired temperature setpoint, the BMS will
reduce the output signal, in turn reducing heater
firing rate.
5. Upon satisfying temperature setpoint, the BMS
will either:
a. Turn off the heater.
b. Reduce the signal so that the minimum
heater firing rate is maintained until the
sensed temperature rises above the
setpoint to a cut-off limit temperature when
the BMS turns off the heater.
