Zone Control 368

D 368

09/96

The Zone Control 368 is a microprocessor-based energy management control that uses PID
logic to control the temperature in up to 4 heating zones. Multiple zone controls can be
connected together for additional zones of heating. Either single stage or two stage zones can
be provided by the control. The 368 is primarily designed for use with the tekmar House
Controls. When connected to a House Control, the 368 provides indoor temperature feedback
that adjusts the supply water temperature in order to satisfy the zone with the highest heat
load.  The 368 also coordinates the zoning operation in order to minimize boiler short cycling
and allow boiler purging between cycles. The 368 has a built in night setback timer and an
Optimum Start / Stop feature that allows the control to reheat the zones before the end of the
setback period.
