DETAILED OPERATION
OVERVIEW
The Genesis Heat-Timer
®
control is design to operate a single boiler or valve in either a steam or hydronic heating application.
The Genesis Heat-Timer
®
control can provide outdoor reset where the heating output is automatically adjusted based on the outdoor
air temperature and the space temperature feedback.
The unique control of the Genesis Heat-Timer
®
allows the installer the flexibility to choose between steam or hydronic heating, each
with the ability to provide outdoor reset with space temperature feedback. The control also flexibility to control an ON/OFF boiler or
a modulating boiler (hydronic only) with a current voltage output. If the application is a valve, either a 2-way control valve in a steam
heating application or a 3-way mixing valve in a hydronic heating application, the Genesis Heat-Timer
®
will provide either a floating
output signal or a current voltage modulation signal to the valve actuator.
The Genesis Heat-Timer
®
control is supplied with 3 space temperature sensors that are wireless and provide feedback to the
controller on the current interior building temperature. This space temperature feedback is used to automatically adjust the
outdoor reset setting of the controller. Combining the benefits of outdoor reset with the space temperature feedback
the Genesis Heat-Timer
®
could potentially provide up to 30% in fuel efficiency while maintaining tenant comfort.
The Genesis Heat-Timer
®
control can be remotely accessed through the Internet using Heat Timer’s web based program ICMS—
Internet Control Management System. Access to ICMS requires an active account with BuildingNet
®
and an annual access fee. This
access fee provides the account owner unlimited user access, which users can be given Full or Read Only rights of remote access to
the Genesis Heat-Timer
®
control.
ICMS also provides additional benefits and features other than remote access to the Genesis Heat-Timer
®
control. The account user
can create various alarm notifications via email and/or text, create and send various data reports based on the history of sensor data
and gather fuel and preventative maintenance information.
APPLICATIONS
RADIANT HEATING
The Genesis Heat-Timer
®
can control a 3-way mixing valve to regulate the temperature of the water entering the radiant tubing.
STEAM TO WATER HEAT-EXCHANGERS
The Genesis Heat-Timer
®
can control a 2-way steam valve to regulate the temperature of the heating water at a precise temperature.
BURNER CONTROL
The Genesis Heat-Timer
®
can control a burner on a steam or hot water boiler with either an ON/OFF enable signal or Current
Voltage Modulation signal (hydronic boiler only).
DISTRICT STEAM
The Genesis Heat-Timer
®
can control a 2-way control valve to regulate the volume of steam for precise heating.
STEAM HEATING
Whether the Genesis Heat-Timer
®
is controlling a boiler or a 2-way valve, the Genesis Heat-Timer
®
can be applied to any of the
following heating applications:
•
One pipe steam—motorized valve or direct burner operation.
•
Two pipe steam—motorized valve or direct burner operation.
