Tekmar Smart Heat Pump Control Expansion 291EXP
Four-Heat-Pump Expansion Module
The Tekmar Smart Heat Pump Control Expansion 291EXP expands a Tekmar Smart Heat Pump Control 291 system by adding control for 4 additional heat pumps. Designed for larger hydronic heating and cooling systems, each 291EXP connects to the main 291 control through a wired expansion bus and can be configured for heat pump groups 5-8, 9-12, or 13-16.
Key Benefits
- System Expansion: Adds 4 additional heat pumps to a Tekmar Smart Heat Pump Control 291 system.
- Up to 16 Heat Pumps: Use multiple 291EXP modules to expand the full system up to 16 total heat pumps.
- Simple Expansion Bus: Connects to the main 291 control through a wired 3-conductor expansion connection.
- Configurable Heat Pump Groups: DIP switches assign the module to heat pumps 5-8, 9-12, or 13-16.
- Heating and Cooling Outputs: Supports compressor and reversing valve control, or separate heat and cool enable inputs.
- 4-Pipe Valve Support: Includes diverting valve outputs for directing flow to hot or cold buffer tanks in 4-pipe systems.
- Service-Friendly Status LEDs: Power, communication, heating, and cooling LEDs help verify operation and simplify troubleshooting.

Customer Success Stories
The Apollo heat pump system is very efficient, quiet, and easy to install. It stands out for its clear design, well-organized components, and advanced features like a touchscreen and remote monitoring through an app. It also allows precise temperature control and includes an electric backup for very cold conditions. Overall, it's a reliable and practical system.
Heats my home nicely and economically. The cold weather does not seem to affect the pump. Overall I'm very happy with the system. The techs have been very helpful whenever I have had questions regarding installation, etc.
Since installing the Apollo heat pump, our energy bills have plummeted. It pulls heat right out of the air outside, even when it's freezing, and uses a fraction of the electricity our old system did. It's incredibly efficient
I was skeptical about a heat pump in our cold climate, but the Apollo proved me wrong. It consistently delivers strong, comfortable heat to our entire home, even during the deepest winter freezes. It's a truly robust system
Upgrading to the Apollo air-to-water heat pump was the best decision for our home. It integrated perfectly with our existing radiant floor heating. It runs quietly outside and provides perfectly even, comfortable heat inside
You can tell just by looking at the Apollo unit that it's built to last. It handles the elements outside without a problem and operates surprisingly quietly. It gives us total peace of mind knowing we have such a dependable system

Tekmar Smart Heat Pump Control Expansion 291EXP
Main Features
-
Adds four heat pump stages
Each 291EXP adds four additional heat pump outputs to a Tekmar Smart Heat Pump Control 291 system.
-
Selectable heat pump groups
DIP switches assign the module to heat pumps 5-8, 9-12, or 13-16 for larger staged systems.
-
3-wire expansion connection
The module connects to the 291 through a polarity-sensitive -, +, and Gnd expansion bus up to 100 ft with 18 AWG cable.
-
Heat and cool relay outputs
Supports compressor and reversing valve wiring, or separate heat and cool enable signals for compatible heat pumps.
-
4-pipe diverting valve support
Provides one diverting valve output per heat pump to direct flow between hot and cold tanks in 4-pipe systems.
-
Power and communication LEDs
Power, communication, heating, and cooling LEDs help verify operation and identify wiring issues during service.
Scale larger systems
Use 291EXP modules with the Smart Heat Pump Control 291 to expand from four onboard heat pumps up to 16 total heat pumps.
Installer-ready wiring
Clearly labeled terminals cover expansion communication, diverting valves, heat pump stages, and 115 V input power.
Commanded by the 291
All heat pump relays are normally off and respond to commands from the 291, with output status matching the 291 heat pump menu.
Faster troubleshooting
Power and communication LED states help verify supply voltage, expansion wiring, polarity, and communication with the main control.
