Any Tekmar Geniuses Out There?

in THE MAIN WALL
... if I have a home with a 369 Zone controller and 062 type sensors, is there a way to get the 369 to "speak" to other controllers or is Tekmar pretty much a closed system?

I have spare wires running to the RTDs so I could put a separate temp sensor in each one, but I'd like to avoid the effort of duplicating sensors and it would be nice to have the contactor signal available w/o resorting to coils monitoring the current flow to each pump...

    Tekmar

    Constantin,

    The RTU's send a digital signal or speak to the 369. The 369 can speak to another 369 or speak to a boiler control such as a 363. They send a signal by way of zone in and zone out on the 369. On the 363 it is com and 10k. The 10k is done by resistance so it can only send a signal of increase or decrease. The RTU's send a digital signal by way of teknet 1. Teknet 1 is better.

    If you want even better then that try the new controls they comunicate much better through Teknet4. The great news is that they are cheaper too.

    John is bang on!

    Constantin,

    as John mentioned, the New tN4 System is far superior than the previous Integrated Control Systems have already been when compared to many other systems out there.

    tN4 can then be connected in the near future (summer/Fall)via a Gateway (RS232 - ASCII) to another Control System if supported by them.

    I could go on and on to tell you about tN4, but would be able to tell you soo much more verbally. If you want to learn more about it, call tekmar Tech Support at 250-545-7749....I am at Ext. 214.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    No doubt wearing a spiffy new shirt, too

    Eh, Mike?

    Got your e-mail. Glad you like the shirts. Didn't I tell you the Rocky's Heating shirts were the new Babe Magnets?

    Thanks Mike and John!

    I have left a message with Mike, perhaps he will get it before the day is out... :-)

    Happy weekend, everyone. May the callbacks be scarce and the dear wives happy.
