Tekmar Controls 356 Control

Tekmar Controls 356 Control

The Tekmar Controls 356 Control is a sophisticated 24Vac Variable Speed Mixing Control engineered specifically for hydronic systems requiring precise outdoor temperature reset. A veteran tech knows that maintaining the right water temperature is non-negotiable for radiant floor heating and commercial baseboard applications; this microprocessor-based unit delivers exactly that by modulating the speed of a single permanent capacitor (wet rotor) circulator. By continuously adjusting the injection pump, the 356 eliminates thermal shock and provides critical boiler minimum protection, ensuring return water temperatures remain above condensing levels in non-condensing boiler loops. This hydronic mixing control integrates a PID algorithm to stabilize supply temperatures, enhancing overall system efficiency and reducing mechanical wear. With its capability for warm weather shut down (WWSD) and automatic boiler differential, it simplifies managing multi-temperature zones while providing standard boiler load reset functionality to optimize the firing cycle.

Key Benefits
  • Enhanced System Longevity: Provides essential boiler return protection to prevent flue gas condensation and thermal stress in cast iron boilers.
  • Efficient Mixing Performance: Utilizes variable speed pump control to maintain consistent water temperature for radiant floor heating and high-mass systems.
  • Automated Energy Savings: Features outdoor reset and warm weather shut down to prevent unnecessary boiler operation during mild conditions.
  • Contractor-Friendly Setup: Includes a clear test sequence and quick setup parameters to verify proper circulator and relay operation before leaving the job site.
  • Flexible Integration: Compatible with NTC thermistor 10k sensors and designed for mounting on a standard 2x4 electrical box.
Common Questions

What type of pumps can the Tekmar 356 control?
It is designed to operate permanent capacitor, impedance protected pumps, typically standard wet rotor circulators, up to 1/6 hp at 120V (ac).

Does the 356 include the necessary sensors?
Yes, the control typically ships with an outdoor sensor (070) and universal sensors (071 or 078) to monitor both supply and boiler return temperatures.

Can this be used with condensing boilers?
While it can be utilized with condensing units, its boiler minimum setting is especially vital for protecting conventional non-condensing boilers from low-temperature return water.
