External Power Supply

It is strongly recommended that a transformer with an in-line 
fuse be used in order to protect the transformer from high 
currents. The tekmar Transformer 009 includes a fuse.

Connect the 24 V (ac) leads from the transformer to the C 
and R terminals marked “Input Power” on the 315.

tekmarNet

4 Thermostats 

The tN4 Wiring Center 315 is designed to operate with 
tekmarNet

®

4 Thermostats. They provide a synchronized 

end switch on the Wiring Center and communicate with 
any other tN4 device on the system. 

Connect the tN4, C, R and W terminals from each 
thermostat to the corresponding terminals for each 
zone on the Wiring Center.
Ensure the tN4 and C wires are not reversed.

Conventional Thermostats 

The tN4 Wiring Center 315 may be used with conventional 
and ‘power stealing’ type thermostats. However, the end 
switch synchronization feature will not be available.

Install the thermostat to the appropriate R and W ter-
minals on the 315.

Low Voltage Wiring

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The enclosure may be mounted directly to a wall or to 
an electrical junction box.
Ensure that the high voltage wires are neatly tucked 
inside the electrical junction box.
Using 2 of the 4 holes in the back of the enclosure, securely 
fasten it to the electrical junction box with 2 #10 screws as 
shown in Figure 2.

Install The Enclosure

Important Note:

Do not mix tekmarNet

®

4 and conventional thermostats on 

the same wiring center. 

Zone Valves

Wire the zone valves to the C and Vlv terminals on the 315.
End switches on zone valves are not required when 
using the 315.

tN4 Expansion Terminals (tN4 thermostats only)

The 315 uses the Expansion tN4 and C terminals to communicate 
with additional Wiring Centers, House Controls, and other 
tekmarNet

®

 devices.

Connect the tN4 and C Expansion terminals on the 315 
to the corresponding tN4 and C Expansion terminals of 
the additional external device.

Wiring the End Switch

The 315 can operate a single on-off boiler or provide a 
demand to a tekmar control.

Connect the X X End Switch terminals on the 315 to the 
T-T (or R-W) terminals on the boiler.
If required, use the X X End Switch terminals to switch 
24 V (ac) to power a demand on a tekmar outdoor reset 
control.
