How do I resolve an "OPN" or "OPEN" error on the display?
This message typically indicates an open circuit on the auxiliary sensor input. Check for loose wiring at the sensor terminals or ensure the sensor setting in the Adjust Menu is set to 'Off' if no external sensor is installed.
Does this unit support 5 GHz WiFi networks?
The hardware is designed for 2.4 GHz 802.11n WiFi. For routers broadcasting only 5 GHz, a separate 2.4 GHz SSID must be configured to ensure stable connectivity and automatic software updates.
Can I use this to control both radiant floors and a furnace?
Yes, the Tekmar 562 is specifically designed to operate a first-stage radiant floor and a second-stage furnace for heating, providing a comprehensive solution for mixed-delivery systems.
