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.
