The tekmar Eight Stage Boiler Control 258 is a microprocessor-based control which
regulates the supply water temperature from up to 8 boilers based on the outdoor air
temperature, and optionally, the indoor air temperature through a tekmar 10K Zone
Control.  The System pump is turned on when there is a Heat Demand and the outdoor
temperature is cool enough to require heat in the system.  When a combustion air
damper is used, it must be opened before the first boiler is fired.  The control has a
built-in setback timer and LCD screen to display temperatures and boiler running times.
