Introduction
The tekmarNet
®
Internet Gateway 485 allows remote access to tekmarNet
®
compatible controls through a web browser,
either over the Internet or through a local area network. Users can view and change settings for each thermostat, including:
temperature, heat/cool/auto, fan operation, relative humidity, schedules, and the away scene. In addition, the boiler system
temperatures, firing rate, run times, and pump status can be viewed. All system data can be graphed on a chart or be
exported to a data file. The 485 can send daily or weekly status reports, as well as error and warning notifications, through
e-mail. The 485 includes three alert inputs that can be used to monitor auxiliary equipment.

Installation Location
When choosing the location for the control, consider the
following:
Interior Wall.
Keep dry. Avoid potential leakage onto the control.
Relative Humidity less than 90%. Non-condensing
environment.
No exposure to extreme temperatures beyond 32 to
122°F (0 to 50°C).
Away from equipment, appliances, or other sources of
electrical interference.
•
•
•
•
•
Easy access for wiring, viewing.
Approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) off the finished floor.
The maximum length of wire is 500 feet (150 m).
Strip wire to 3/8" (10 mm) for all terminal connections.
Use standard 8 conductor, 18 AWG wire.
Ethernet cable maximum length is 328 feet (100 m).
WiFi maximum distance is 100 feet (30 m) line of sight
with no walls. Walls reduce WiFi range.
•

Mounting
The control can be mounted on
a standard DIN rail. First remove
the control from its base and then,
using the hooks and spring clip
on the back of the control, mount
it onto the DIN rail. This will be
a popular option for those who
prefer to mount the control inside
a larger electrical panel.
The wiring can enter the bottom or
the back of the enclosure. Knock-
outs provided in the base allow
the wiring to be run in conduit up
to the enclosure. The base also
has holes that line up with the
mounting holes of most common
electrical boxes.
Press down at the fingertip
grips on top of the front cover
and pull out and down.
Lift the front cover up and
away from the control.
Loosen the screws at the
front of the wiring cover.
The wiring cover pulls straight
out from the wiring chamber.
The base is ready for mounting.
The control lifts up and
away from the base.
Press the control release
clip on the base inside the
wiring chamber and slide
the control upwards.
Remove the safety dividers
from the wiring chamber by
pulling them straight out of
their grooves.
There are 10 conduit knock-outs at the back
and bottom of the wiring chamber.

Before You Start
Before connecting the tekmarNet
®
Internet Gateway 485 to
a tekmarNet
®
system, it is recommended that the system be
fully completed, with no tekmarNet®thermostats or setpoint
controls being added or removed at a later date. Also, each
tekmarNet
®
thermostat and setpoint control device is automati-
cally assigned a tekmarNet®address when connected to the
system. It is recommended that each device be given a manual
address. This address should be written down together with
the room location for future reference.
The gateway records the address of each tekmarNet
®
thermostat
and setpoint control. For each address, the installer can name
the room location and building area for each thermostat and
setpoint control.
Alert Inputs
The 485 has 3 alert inputs. Each alert input has a corre-
sponding alert input switch setting.
Alert on Make
When set to Alert on Make, the 485 will trigger an email
notification when the alert demand input has a contact
closure or a voltage from 0 to 32 V (ac). The alert is cleared
when the alert input has an open contact or the voltage is
removed.
Alert on Break
When set to Alert on Break, the 485 will trigger an email
notification when the alert input has an open contact. The
alert is cleared when the alert input has a contact closure
or a voltage from 0 to 32 V (ac) is applied.

Unlock / Lock
The Unlock / Lock switch allows the use of a factory default
user ID and password for the 485 login web page.
When set to Unlock (switch setting in up position), the
user ID is “installer” and the password is “tekmar”.
After logging in to the tekmarNet®gateway login web page,
create personal accounts for yourself and your customer
through the configuration page. Once the personal accounts
are completed, the Unlock / Lock switch can be set to
Lock. The default user ID and password are then no longer
accepted.
Should the personal account user ID or passwords be forgot-
ten, the Unlock / Lock switch can be set to Unlock and the
default user ID and password can be used to create new
personal accounts.
Switch Settings
Once the tekmarNet
®
Gateway installation is complete, it is
important that the switch setting be left in the Lock position
in order to prevent unauthorized access.

The Reset button has two operations based upon the length
of time the button is held down. The "Gateway Ready" LED
must be on in order for the reset to function.
Reset IP Settings
Press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds. The reset
LED will turn red. The 485 defaults to use DHCP (automatic
addressing) provided by the router. After resetting the IP to the
factory default, the 485 restarts. It may take up to 5 minutes
before web pages are available.
Reset Factory Defaults
Press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds. The 485 will
erase all memory and all files will be reset to their factory
defaults. It may take up to 5 minutes before web pages are
available.
tekmarNet®Bus
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 485 includes four tekmarNet
®
bus inputs. The tN4
bus inputs allow communication between the 485 and the
tekmarNet®system. Each tN4 bus on the tekmarNet®system
must be wired to the tN4 bus inputs on the 485. The tN4
bus may be wired before or after the control is powered on
and setup.
Alert Inputs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 485 includes three alert inputs. The alert inputs can be
used to monitor heating equipment for problems such as:
Low water cut off
Heating oil or propane tank low tank level
Loss of utility electrical power
Boiler flame failure lockout

Disconnect all power before opening the control.
To prevent the risk of personal injury and/or death, make sure power is not applied to the product until it
is fully installed and ready for final testing. All work must be done with power turned off to the circuit being
worked on.
All available tN4 buses must be wired to the 485
whether or not there are thermostats connected
to the bus.
Do not disconnect power when resetting the IP address or
resetting the factory defaults. This will result in permanenent
damage to the 485.

Router Setup
The 485 must be connected to a router. The router directs
computer network traffic from one computing device to another.
All the devices on the inside of a building form a Local Area
Network (LAN). The router bridges the LAN to the internet and
protects the LAN from unauthorized access from the internet
using a firewall.
Most routers use a DHCP server that automatically assigns
an IP address to a computer. These addresses are dynamic,
which means that particular computer can be given a new IP
address each time it is turned on. Since other computers must
locate the 485 on the network, it is important that the 485 be
given a static IP address.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Login to Router Setup Page
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Login to the router using the router's username and password.
Consult with the router's manual or check the router for a sticker
to locate this information.
First locate the router setup web page on the LAN. To do this
follow these steps:
Login to the 485 using a computer, tablet or smartphone.
Click "Configuration".
Click "Network". The 485 will list the router's IP address.
Create a new tab on the web browser and enter the router's
IP address into the web browser address bar. Two common
router addresses are: 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1
•
•
•
•
In the router settings, locate the DHCP settings. Set the DHCP
IP range so that there are eight free IP addresses available. For
example, if the router address is 192.168.0.1, then the DHCP
range should be set to start at 192.168.0.10. This allows eight
static IP addresses to be available (192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.9).
The router may need to restart when this setting is saved.
Apple Airport Extreme and Express routers require the
AirPort Utility software program to setup the router. Follow the
instructions: http://www.apple.com/support/airport
In the router settings, locate the router port forwarding
rules. This feature can have other names depending on the
manufacturer of the router. Other names include port address
translation, network address translation (NAT) or applications
and gaming.
Name the port forwarding rule "tekmar"
Open external TCP and UDP port 80
Open internal TCP and UDP port 80
Enter the static LAN IP address of the 485 typically 192.168.0.2
or 192.168.1.2

Dynamic DNS
Many Internet Service Providers (ISP) provide a static IP
address with a business account. Residential accounts often
have a dynamic IP address. If the ISP has provided a dynamic
IP address, then a free dynamic DNS service is required.
There are many free dynamic DNS services available. tekmar
suggests to use a free service from NoIP.com.
Go to the web site at http://www.noip.com
Create an account by clicking on "Sign Up".
•
•
Download and install the No-IP update client on a computer
or router that shares the same Local Area Network as
the 485.
Download the No-IP Dynamic DNS Update Client software
at http://www.no-ip.com/download
Follow the steps to install the No-IP DUC software.
When the No-IP DUC window appears, enter the no-ip.com
username and password.
•
•
•
From any computer connected to the Internet, start a web
browser and enter the dynamic DNS hostname chosen and
press enter. An example would be:
http://gateway485.ddns.net
The gateway login page will appear. Bookmark this address
in the web browser to allow quick and easy access to the
gateway while on the Internet.
Fill out a username, email address, password and hostname.
The hostname is the web address that is used to access the
gateway over the internet. Click "Free Sign Up".
All No-IP settings are now complete and you can logout of the
No-IP web site.
•
When creating a NoIP account an e-mail address is required
to activate the account. The same e-mail account cannot be
used again to create another NoIP account. Therefore, it is
recommended to use the building owner’s e-mail address.
This requires the building owner to read the e-mail and click
on the link to activate the NoIP service.
