The Thermostat 518 accurately controls the room temperature for a hydronic

heating zone using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology. Simple up and

down buttons and a display with large type make this thermostat easy to read and

use. The 518 automatically detects a single auxiliary sensor to measure either

outdoor, floor or remote room temperature. This easy to install thermostat is a

direct replacement for tekmar Thermostats 507 and 508.

Preparation

Installation

• tekmar or jeweller screwdriver

• Phillips head screwdriver

• Wire Stripper

Tools Required

------------------------------------------------------

Materials Required

--------------------------------------------------

• 18 AWG LVT Solid Wire (Low Voltage Connections)

Removing The Thermostat Base

To remove the thermostat base:

• Locate the tab on the bottom of the

thermostat.

• Push the tab with either your thumb or with

a screwdriver.

• Lift the thermostat front away from the

thermostat’s base.

•

It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that this thermostat is safely installed

according to all applicable codes and standards.

•

Improper installation and operation of this thermostat could result in damage to the

equipment and possibly even personal injury or death.

•

This thermostat is not intended for use as a primary limit control. Other controls that

are intended and certified as safety limits must be placed into the control circuit.

Choose the placement of the thermostats early in the construction process to

enable proper wiring during rough-in.

Installation Location

-------------------------------------------------

Consider the following:

• Interior Wall.

• Keep dry. Avoid potential leakage onto the control.

• Relative Humidity less than 90%. Non-condensing environment.

• No exposure to extreme temperatures beyond 32-122°F (0-50°C).

• No draft, direct sun, or other cause for inaccurate temperature readings.

• Away from equipment, appliances, or other sources of electrical

interference.

• Easy access for wiring, viewing, and adjusting the display screen.

• Approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) off the finished floor.

• The maximum length of wire is 500 feet (150 m).

• Strip wire to 3/8" (10 mm) for all terminal connections.

• Use standard 8 conductor, 18 AWG wire.

If mounting directly to the wall:

• Drill holes using a 3/16" drill bit and install the wall anchors.

• Feed the wiring through the large hole in the thermostat base.

• Fasten the thermostat base to the wall using the wood screws to the wall anchors.

• Terminate wiring to the wiring strip. Do not over tighten wiring screws. Hand

tighten only.

• Push the thermostat front onto the thermostat base.

If a single gang box is used:

• Adapter Plate 012 is required (sold separately).

• Feed the wiring through the hole in the adaptor plate and the thermostat base.

• Fasten the adaptor plate to the gang box.

• Fasten the base of the thermostat to the adaptor plate.

• Terminate wiring to the wiring strip. Do not over tighten wiring screws. Hand

tighten only.

• Push the thermostat front onto the thermostat base.

To prevent the risk of personal injury and/or death, make sure power is

not applied to the thermostat until it is fully installed and ready for final

testing. All work must be done with power to the circuit being worked

on turned off.

Please be aware local codes may require this thermostat to be installed

or connected by an electrician.

Testing the Thermostat Wiring

Testing the Power

---------------------------------------------------

If the thermostat display turns on, this indicates that the thermostat is operating correctly

and there are no electrical issues. 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 intially powers on but later shuts off intermittantly, there

may be a short circuit from the W wire to ground, or the power supply is too small to

power the load.

Testing the Heat Zone Output Wiring

----------------------------------

1. Touch the

button and set the heating temperature above the current room

temperature. Make sure the display does not flash “Max” if using a floor sensor.

2. When the “Heat On” symbol appears on the display, use an electrical meter to check

for voltage on the W 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).

3. If the W and C wire have voltage, check the zone valve, wiring center, relay or pump

to determine if the heat device is operating correctly.

Heating Operation

Sequence of Operation

Push the

button to select a preferred temperature setting. The Heat On symbol

is shown on the display when the thermostat is heating. The heat can cycle on and off

within +/- 1.5°F (1°C) of the temperature setting.

The floor and air heating can be shut off by holding the

button until Set Room is Off.

To resume heating when the Mode is Off, press the

button to navigate to the Mode

setting, then press the

button to select Mode Heat. The thermostat will resume

heating at the last previously set temperature.

The away feature saves energy by heating to a lower temperature while you are away.

To activate Away, short the Away and Com wiring terminals together.

Air Temperature Only

------------------------------------------------

If there is only an air temperature sensor (no floor sensor), the thermostat operates to

control your desired air temperature.

Floor Temperature Only

----------------------------------------------

If the air sensor has been disabled, the thermostat will only maintain floor temperature

and ignore air temperature. This operation is recommended for areas such as bathrooms

to ensure that tile floors are warm to the touch.

Floor and Air Temperature

-------------------------------------------

If the air sensor is turned on and a floor sensor is connected, the thermostat will maintain

the desired air temperature as well as a minimum floor temperature.

This operation is recommended for areas with large windows that allow the sun to

shine into a room and keep it warm without the need for heat. This can allow the floors

to cool off during the afternoon. When the sun goes down, it can take a long time for

the floors to get warm again. This may cause the room to cool off too much in the early

evening. A floor minimum setting can help with this condition by maintaining a floor

minimum temperature. Keep in mind the floor minimum temperature will override the

air temperature, and if set too high, may overheat the room.

This operation is also recommended for rooms with hardwood floors. Setting floor

minimum and maximum temperatures is a way of enhancing the comfort of the living

space while protecting floor coverings.

normal operation until all Programmable Settings are checked except

to provide freeze protection.

Room

ROOM SENSOR OPEN CIRCUIT ERROR

The built-in air temperature sensor has an open circuit fault. Do not

confuse this error with the auxiliary room sensor short circuit error.
