8. FEATURES
The TempTracker mod+ Hybrid has been designed with
Hydronic building heating, using both condensing and
non-condensing boilers, as the primary purpose. As well,
it is capable of controlling modulating or staging boilers.
With this in mind, many of the TempTracker mod+ Hybrid
features can be utilized to ease, enhance, and improve
your system performance.
Condensing and Non-Condensing Boilers Can be
Modulating or Multi-Stage.
The TempTracker mod+ Hybrid can operate both
modulating and staging boilers. Just specify each of the
Condensing and Non-Condensing boiler group type and
the TempTracker mod+ Hybrid will activate the groups
based on an adjustable set of criteria.
PID Type Logic
The TempTracker mod+ Hybrid's control algorithms allow
it to look at the rate of change in the system. If the system
temperature is changing quickly, the TempTracker mod+
Hybrid will react quickly to adjust the modulating stages’
output. If the system temperature changes slowly, the
TempTracker mod+ Hybrid will make slow and gradual
output adjustments. Therefore, the TempTracker mod+
Hybrid adapts to specic system requirements and
minimizes uctuations around the setpoint.
Controls 0-10 V or 4-20 mA modulating Burners
Whenever any of the Condensing or Non-Condensing
group type is set to Modulating, the TempTracker mod+
Hybrid will accurately control the output from 0 to 100%
of modulation for each of these dierent types of motors.
Moreover, a single TempTracker mod+ Hybrid can
control multiple modulating burners each with a dierent
modulating signal.
Controls On/O, 2-Stage, 3-Stage, or 4-Stage
Burners
Whenever one of the Condensing or Non-Condensing
group Type is set to Staging, the TempTracker mod+
Hybrid will accurately sequence the stages using a PID
logic. The sequencing group will have a set of adjustable
parameters to help achieve better operation.
Digital Display of all System Settings
The TempTracker mod+ Hybrid’s alphanumeric digital
display names each system parameter in simple English
and shows its precise value. The easy to follow menu
system allows users to quickly make changes to any
system setting without having to learn any specialized
codes or keyboard commands.
Automatic Rotation among Stages
Rotating the lead stage of each group promotes even
wear. The TempTracker mod+ Hybrid has three modes of
rotation: Manual, Last On, or Time. The Time rotates the
lead stage every selected time period from every hour to
every 60 days.
Outdoor Reset
The TempTracker mod+ Hybrid has a hydronic outdoor
temperature reset function. This allows the TempTracker
mod+ Hybrid to change the setpoint based on outdoor
temperature. Furthermore, additional settings have been
added to ne tune this operation, like Oset, Minimum, and
Maximum Water Temperature and night setback schedule.
System Output
This output can be used to activate a system pump,
combustion air damper, or perform any other function
that is required when any stage is active. It will energize
whenever the outdoor temperature is below the Outdoor
Cuto setting. A System Prove input checks the status of
components activated by the System output before stages
can be activated.
Normal or Parallel Modulation
The TempTracker mod+ Hybrid can stage modulating
boilers as needed. In Normal Modulation, it will allow the
modulation to increase on the lead boiler until it reaches its
modulation start point adjustment. Then, the TempTracker
mod+ Hybrid will start the next boiler and so on. Moreover,
the TempTracker mod+ Hybrid allows for a parallel mode
that can modulate several boilers together as a one large
boiler. This mode is useful when used with condensing
boilers as they run more ecient at lower modulation.
Thus, it is better to run several boilers at lower modulation
than to run a single boiler at full re.
Add up to 16 Boiler Stages (Optional)
As a stand-alone, the TempTracker mod+ Hybrid is
designed to control four stages. However, it has the
capability of expanding its control to two extension panels
each with six boiler stages. Thus, the TempTracker mod+
Hybrid can control a total of up to 16 boiler stages.
Setback or Day/Night Scheduling
Two Setback modes are available for the TempTracker
mod+ Hybrid:
• The Day/Night Scheduling provides an adjustable
time-based schedule for the Setback (only available
when Shutdown or Tstat is selected as the Setback/
Shutdown Startup option). See "Shutdown/Tstat/
Setback Mode" on page 26.
• The Setback mode uses an external signal to switch
the operation of the TempTracker mod+ Hybrid in and
out of setback mode (only available when Setback is
selected as the Setback/Shutdown Startup option).
Remote Setpoint (EMS 4-20mA)
By connecting the control to the optional 4-20mA EMS
Interface, the control shall be capable of accepting a
remote setpoint.
