Wiring the External Boiler Pump (Optional)

Using a 3/16 inch female spade connector, connect the hot side of the boiler pump circuit to the male spade connector labelled

“Pmp” located on the back of the RMC circuit board. Connect the neutral side of the boiler pump circuit to the neutral (N) side of the

RMB’s input power supply. When using this option the line cord should be removed and the RMB hard wired.

Wiring the Heat Demand (Required)

The Heat Demand circuit can be wired using either a powered signal or an unpowered switch closure.

Powered Demand

If a powered demand is being used, connect the switched side of the 24 V (ac) demand

circuit to the “Heat Dem” terminal of the terminal block. Connect the second side of the

24 V (ac) demand circuit to the “Com” terminal of the terminal block.

Unpowered Demand

If an unpowered demand is being used, connect one side of the demand switch to the

“Heat Dem” terminal of the terminal block. Connect the second side of demand switch

to the “Com” of the terminal block.

Wiring the Boiler

Begin by removing the two (2) pin plug-in terminal block from the RMC’s circuit board. To

do this, pull the terminal block directly away from the circuit board.

The Boiler Relay is a switch that is to be used in the boiler circuit. There is no power

available on these terminals from the RMC. Connect the Boiler relay in series with the

control circuit of the boiler.

STEP FOUR - RECONNECTING THE TERMINAL BLOCKS

Insert the eight (8) pin plug-in terminal block into the eight (8) pin terminal header on the RMC circuit board. Press firmly until it snaps

into place.

Insert the two (2) pin plug-in terminal block into the two (2) pin terminal header on the RMC circuit board. Press firmly until it snaps into

place.

STEP FIVE - MOUNTING THE RMC

• Begin by pushing all excesses wiring back into the Radiant Mixing Block.

• Place the RMC into the Radiant Mixing Block’s plastic enclosure.

• Insert the screw into the hole located on the face of the RMC and tighten the screw to fasten the RMC to the Radiant Mixing Block

Enclosure. Do not overtighten.

STEP SIX - POWERING THE RMC

Apply power to the RMC circuit by plugging in the line cord.

   

POWER UP

On power up, the control displays all segments for 2 seconds followed by the control version

number.

The control then automatically goes to the operating mode and displays either the outdoor

temperature or the mix supply temperature.
