Tekmar Controls 260 Control
The Tekmar Controls 260 Control is a reliable, microprocessor-based solution engineered for 120Vac single stage boiler applications requiring outdoor temperature reset or domestic hot water (DHW) priority. As a veteran in the field, you know that maximizing efficiency means matching supply temperature to actual demand. The 260 achieves this using characterized heating curves, which adjust the boiler water temperature based on outdoor conditions, significantly reducing fuel consumption and preventing short-cycling in baseboard or fan coil systems. Unlike basic controls, this unit allows for an optional indoor temperature feedback sensor to further fine-tune the reset curve against internal heat gains.
The Tekmar 260 is designed for easy integration into existing hydronic lineups, providing a powered boiler pump output and dedicated DHW pump or valve operation. It features technical necessities like an automatic boiler differential to protect the heat exchanger from thermal shock and a warm weather shut down (WWSD) mode to prevent unnecessary operation during shoulder seasons. The 120Vac power supply and plug-in terminals ensure a straightforward retrofit for contractors looking to upgrade system logic without a complete overhaul. This control is not a safety limit but serves as the brain for optimizing high-mass and low-mass residential heating plants.
Key Benefits- Outdoor Reset Logic: Continuously calculates the most efficient boiler supply temperature to reduce energy waste.
- DHW Priority: Integrated domestic hot water management with optional priority overrides prevents cold showers during high-demand space heating calls.
- System Protection: Includes an automated exercising function that cycles pumps every 3 days to prevent seizing during periods of inactivity.
- User-Adjustable Comfort: Features a simple LCD interface for adjusting building space temperature offsets without complex reprogramming.
- Versatile Demand Inputs: Capable of receiving heating demands from 24V to 240Vac, making it compatible with almost any thermostat or zone controller.
Can I use an indoor sensor with the Tekmar 260?
Yes. While it operates primarily on outdoor reset, adding a 10k ohm NTC thermistor for indoor feedback allows the control to shift the heating curve automatically based on actual indoor temperatures.
Does this control provide a post-purge for DHW?
The 260 manages DHW calls efficiently and can be configured to purge residual heat into the system, ensuring BTU recovery and preventing high-temperature spikes in the boiler loop.
Is this compatible with modulating boilers?
No, the 260 is specifically designed for single stage on/off boilers. For modulating equipment, a different Tekmar net-compatible series would be required.
