Differential (Bang - Bang)
Setting the Differential on any control depends entirely on the actual operating characteristics of heating/cooling equipment in each
specific application. Differential settings should normally be set as small as possible for greatest accuracy, but care must be taken
to avoid short cycling of equipment. Experience, plus trial and error during actual operating conditions is usually the way most installers
determine the correct differential setting.
Delay (Bang - Bang)
Setting the time delay also depends on the actual operating characteristics of heating/cooling equipment in a specific application. With
some equipment, time delays are unnecessary and the delay setting can be set to zero time delay. Other types of equipment depend
on a fixed off delay to prevent damage to equipment components, particularly in the case of certain types of refrigeration equipment.
Consult the manufacturer's operating and installation instructions for advice on recommended time delays.
Differential (PWM)
The Differential setting determines the temperature range in which PWM action occurs. This setting should be adjusted to allow PWM
action to occur the majority of the time. Cycle and Differential settings both affect relay “on” and “off” time.
Cycle (PWM)
Cycle provides the greatest control of how often the relay is turning on and off when the measured temperature is in the differential
range. Increasing Cycle will cause the relay to stay on and off longer ( when temperature remains at setpoint). When controlling loads
that respond slowly to the heating/cooling input, the Cycle should be long. When loads respond quickly to heating/cooling input, a
short Cycle is used.
If troubleshooting becomes necessary with the One Stage Setpoint Control 150, follow the testing procedure in step four of the
installation procedure on page 2 of this brochure.
If the display window shows “Err”, the sensor is either open or short circuited, or the sensor temperature is outside the temperature
range of the control. If this type of fault occurs, the control will turn off its relay.
If you do not think the control is operating properly, check to see that the settings have been made correctly and that the problem is
not a result of external causes. Make sure that all wiring connections are solid and the sensor is located in the correct location.

Product Return Procedure: Products that are believed to have failed must be returned
to tekmar Control Systems Ltd. 4611-23 rd Street, Vernon B.C. Canada V1T 4K7
when agreed to by tekmar. The installer or other qualified service person must, at the
owner's expense, determine which component has failed. The product must be
returned complete with proof of purchase to the original purchaser who then returns
the product to tekmar after receiving a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number
from tekmar.
Please include the following information with the product. The full address of the
original purchaser, the RGA number and a description of the problem.
From the U.S.A., in order to avoid customs charges, products must be returned via
US Post with the package clearly marked with the RGA number, product type and the
statement "Canadian Product returned for repair". For shipping purposes the product
can be valued at one half list price.
