Installation
Check the Contents
Check the contents of this package. If any of the contents listed are missing
or damaged, please refer to the Limited Warranty and Product Return Procedure
on the back of this brochure and contact your wholesaler or tekmar® sales
representative for assistance. Type 069 includes:
- One Flue Sensor 069
- One Installation, Operation, Maintenance Manual IOM-T-069
Preparation
Tools Require
- 9⁄16″ Wrench
Materials Required
- Two wire nuts
- 18 AWG Two-conductor Low Voltage Thermostat (LVT) cable
Installation Location
The sensor should be installed on the boiler flue pipe. If there are multiple
boilers, the sensor should be installed where the flues are piped together.
Mounting
Install the sensor into a ¼” hole in the boiler flue pipe.
Wiring
The sensor includes 12 inches (300 mm) of high temperature PTFE cable. This
can be extended up to total of 500 feet using LVT cable. Ensure that the LVT
cable jacket must not make contact with the boiler flue vent pipe. Use wire
nuts to create the splice.
Terminating
The sensor terminates to the flue sensor input on the control.
Testing and Troubleshooting
A good quality test meter capable of measuring up to 5,000 kΩ (1 kΩ = 1000Ω) is required to measure the sensor resistance. In addition to this, the actual temperature must be measured with either a good quality digital thermometer, or if a thermometer is not available, a second sensor can be placed alongside the one to be tested and the readings compared.
First measure the temperature using the thermometer and then measure the resistance of the sensor at the control. The wires from the sensor must not be connected to the control while the test is performed. Using the chart on the following page, estimate the temperature measured by the sensor. The sensor and thermometer readings should be close. If the test meter reads a very high resistance, there may be a broken wire, a poor wiring connection or a defective sensor. If the resistance is very low, the wiring may be shorted, there may be moisture in the sensor or the sensor may be defective. To test for a defective sensor, measure the resistance directly at the sensor location.
Do not apply voltage to a sensor at any time as damage to the sensor may result.

Any representations or warranties about the Products made by Purchaser to its customers which are different from or in excess of the tekmar Limited Warranty are the Purchaser’s sole responsibility and obligation. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold tekmar harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities and damages of any kind or nature which arise out of or are related to any such repre-sentations or warranties by Purchaser to its customers.
The pass-through Limited Warranty does not apply if the returned Product has been damaged by negligence by persons other than tekmar, accident, fire, Act of God, abuse or misuse; or has been damaged by modifications, alterations or attachments made sub-sequent to purchase which have not been authorized by tekmar; or if the Product was not installed in compliance with tekmar’s instructions and / or the local codes and ordinances; or if due to defective installation of the Product; or if the Product was not used in compliance with tekmar’s instructions.
THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHICH THE GOVERNING LAW ALLOWS PARTIES TO CONTRACTUALLY EXCLUDE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DURABILITY OR DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT, ITS NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY RELEVANT PATENTS OR TRADEMARKS, AND ITS COMPLIANCE WITH OR NON-VIOLATION OF ANY APPLICABLE ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH OR SAFETY LEGISLATION; THE TERM OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY NOT HEREBY CONTRACTUALLY EXCLUDED IS LIMITED SUCH THAT IT SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND TWENTY-FOUR (24) MONTHS FROM THE PRODUCTION DATE, TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LIMITATION IS ALLOWED BY THE GOVERNING LAW.
Product Warranty Return Procedure All Products that are believed to have defects in workmanship or materials must be returned, together with a written description of the defect, to the tekmar Representative assigned to the territory in which such Product is located. If tekmar receives an inquiry from someone other than a tekmar Representative, including an inquiry from Purchaser (if not a tekmar Representative) or Purchaser’s customers, regarding a potential warranty claim, tekmar’s sole obligation shall be to provide the address and other contact information regarding the appropriate Representative.
