Step Five

Testing the wiring

Caution

• These tests are to be performed using standard testing practices and

procedures and should only be carried out by a properly trained and
experienced technician.

• Before applying power to the control for testing, each terminal plug must be

unplugged from its header on the control.  Pull straight down to unplug.

• A good quality electrical test meter, capable of reading from at least

0 — 200 Volts AC, and at least 0 — 1,000,000 Ohms, is essential to properly
test this control.

Test the sensors

• These tests must be made 

before turning on the power supply, and with the

terminals unplugged.

• The sensors are to be tested according to the instructions in Brochure D 001.

Option:  Indoor temperature feedback sensor:  (Choose one option only)

(1) Connect the two wires from an Indoor Sensor 074 or a tekmar  10K Zone Control

 to terminals

10K Sen — Com Sen (19 and 20).

OR

(2) Connect the two wires from a tekmar 2K RTU, (305, 307, 308, or 310) or a tekmar 240 Zone

Control to terminals 

2K RTU — Com Sen (15 and 17).

Option:  Occupied/Unoccupied switch input:

Connect the two wires from the Occupied/Unoccupied dry contact switch (timer, relay, etc.) to
