 TESTING THE WIRING

 General

Each terminal block must be unplugged from its header on the control before power is applied for testing. To remove the terminal 
block, pull straight down from the control.

The following tests are to be performed using standard testing practices and procedures and should only be carried out by 
properly trained and experienced persons.

A good quality electrical test meter, capable of reading from at least 0 – 300 V (ac) and at least 0 – 2,000,000 Ohms, is essential 
to properly test the wiring and sensors.

Test the Sensors

In order to test the sensors, the actual temperature at each sensor 
location must be measured. A good quality digital thermometer with 
a surface temperature probe is recommended for ease of use and 
accuracy. Where a digital thermometer is not available, a spare sensor 
can be strapped alongside the one to be tested and the readings 
compared. Test the sensors according to the instructions in the Data 
Brochure D 070.

 Test the Power Supply

Make sure exposed wires and bare terminals are not in contact with other 
wires or grounded surfaces. Turn on the power and measure the voltage 
between the

 and

N

 terminals (13 and 14) using an AC 

voltmeter, the reading should be between 103.5 and 126.5 V (ac).

 Test the Powered Inputs

Boiler Demand

If a boiler demand is used, measure the voltage between the 

Boil

 

Dem

 and 

Com

 

Dem

 terminals (29 and 30). When the boiler 

demand device calls for heat, a voltage between 20 and 260 V (ac) 
should  be  measured  at  the  terminals.  When  the  boiler  demand 
device is off, less than 5 V (ac) should be measured.

DHW Demand

If a DHW demand is used, measure the voltage between the 

Setp

DHW

 and the

 terminals (31 and 30). When the 

DHW demand device calls for heat, a voltage between 20 and 
260 V (ac) should be measured at the terminals. When the DHW 
demand device is off, less than 5 V (ac) should be measured.

Setpoint Demand

If a setpoint demand is used, measure the voltage between the 

Setp

 

/

 

DHW

 and the 

Com

 

Dem

 terminals (31 and 30). When the 

setpoint demand device calls for heat, a voltage between 20 and 
260 V (ac) should be measured at the terminals. When the setpoint 
demand device is off, less than 5 V (ac) should be measured.

External Input

If an external input is used, measure the voltage between the 

Com –

 and the 

Out +

 terminals (1 and 4). When the external input 

device calls for heat, a voltage between 0 and 10 V (dc) should be 
measured at the terminals.
