If a new location is desired it will be necessary to move your wiring. New installations and relocation should follow the guidelines below to ensure the most accurate temperature reading and ease of use. Removing Existing Thermostat: • Mount thermostat on an inside wall, approximately 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor in a frequently used room. • Do not install in locations near appliances or devices that affect the local temperature such as televisions, lamps, or dryers. • Avoid areas that are exposed large temperature variances, such as: direct sunlight, near an AC unit, above or below auxiliary heat and air vents, and drafts from windows. • Be aware of what is on the other side of the wall the thermostat is being installed on. Do not install on walls adjacent to unheated rooms, stoves, or housing hot water pipes. • Damp areas will not only affect the humidity reading of your thermostat, but could lead to corrosion shortening the life of your thermostat. • Install in a location with good air circulation. Stagnant air will not accurately reflect the rate of change of temperature in the room. Avoid areas behind open doors, corners, and alcoves. • Wait until construction and painting are finished before installing. Test your system Verify that your heating and/ or cooling system is operating properly before you try to install your new thermostat. Once power to the heating AND cooling systems is off follow these steps: DO NOT do so by shorting (jumper) across electric terminals at the furnace or air conditioner. This may damage the thermostat. DO NOT REMOVE your existing thermostat until power has been turned off at the circuit breaker. • Remove cover from your existing thermostat. Do not disconnect the wires yet. TIP: Take a picture of the wires before you detach them from the existing thermostat. • Label all existing wires, one at a time, with the labels provided. 8 | Intelligent Thermostat User Guide Intelligent Thermostat User Guide | 9 Removing Existing Thermostat: Install Your New Thermostat What wires does your system use? Install the back plate Wire your new thermostat Make sure your wires are labeled correctly. It may be necessary to find the ‘other end’ connection for each wire on your heating or air conditioning equipment and read the label there. Use the bubble level provided on the back plate as a guide. Mark where the screws will go with a pencil through the screw holes on the back plate. Go to page 8 to find the wiring diagram that matches your wiring and insert the wires into the back plate. IMPORTANT: This thermostat runs on batteries and the C wire. If you do not have a C wire you can run a new wire from the HVAC or use a standard 24VAC wall transformer • Disconnect all of the wires and remove the existing thermostat. TIP: Remember to secure the wires so they don’t fall into the wall. Prepare the wires Please follow these guidelines for safe and secure wire connections: • Ensure the wires are a proper gauge. CAUTION: Wiring can vary for each manufacturer. Label all wiring before removing it from your existing thermostat. • Make sure wires have exposed straight ends about 1/8” long. CAUTION: Verify that your system is 24 VAC. If your old system is labeled as 120 or 240 volts, or has wire nuts your system is high voltage. Do not install your thermostat to a high voltage system. Contact your local HVAC professional for help. TIPS: • Use the trim plate to cover up any marks or holes left from the old thermostat. Attach the trim plate before securing the back plate to the wall. • Drill holes with 3/16” drill bit to tap in the drywall anchors for added support. TIP: Anything that wasn’t connected to your old thermostat shouldn’t be connected to your new thermostat either. You may also have extra wires that do not match. Leave them as is. EXCEPTIONS: • If you have R, connect it to RH. • If you have RH & RC remove black jumper in lower left corner of back plate terminal board. • Z can be used for W3, H, or DH. 10 | Intelligent Thermostat User Guide Intelligent Thermostat User Guide | 11 Wiring Diagrams: RH RC W2 Y2 OB Configuration 1 RH, W RH RC W2 Configuration 3 RH, W, Y, G Y2 OB RH RC W2 Y2 OB Configuration 2 RH, W, G RH RC W2 Configuration 4 RH, RC, G, W, Y RH RC W2 Y2 OB RH RC W2 Configuration 5 RH, G, W, W2, Y, Y2 Y2 OB Y2 OB Configuration 6 RH, G, OB, Y RH RC W2 Y2 OB Configuration 7 RH, G, W, W2, Y, Y2, OB 12 | Intelligent Thermostat User Guide Intelligent Thermostat User Guide | 13 Insert batteries into Thermostat body The thermostat can be powered by battery or 24 VAC. If a wall transformer is used to power your thermostat connect between C and RH. Ensure the batteries are installed following the specified polarity markings on the thermostat. Connect the Thermostat to the Gateway CAUTION: Special Battery Warning • Bring Gateway to the Thermostat. • Always replace the batteries as soon as Low Battery is indicated. If the batteries die, your thermostat could leave the HVAC system on, overheating or freezing your home. • Put the thermostat in OFF mode (No mode icons are lit). • Always replace the batteries at least once a year. This will protect your thermostat from damage and corrosion by leaking batteries. • If your home is unoccupied for a month or more, such as vacation homes, you should replace the batteries as a preventive measure against battery failure while you are away. • Use only new batteries when changing. • Press the inclusion button on the Gateway. • Press and hold the DOWN button the thermostat to begin pairing. The RADIO icon should start blinking. • When the RADIO icon becomes solid, the thermostat is joined to the network. • Login to your account to sync your thermostat with the Building 36 system, or contact your local professional for installation setup. 14 | Intelligent Thermostat User Guide Intelligent Thermostat User Guide | 15 Install Thermostat body to back plate Configure Your System Check Your System Your thermostat configuration will be done online at the customer site on your customer account page. Here you will configure the parameters of your system, such as: Heat Pump or Normal, number of heat and cool stages, heating fuel, calibration temperature, and configurable terminal (Z). Refer to your configuration number on the wiring diagrams page to see the values you should enter on the online configuration. By default the thermostat is configured to 2 heat stages and 2 cool stages (2 Heat Pump, 2 Aux). This is also were you have the option to change advanced configuration settings, such as: Swing, Differential, Recovery Setting, Fan Circulation Period and Duty Cycle, Maximum Setpoints, Minimum Setpoints, Thermostat Lock, Demand Response Delay, Demand Response Duty Cycle, and Modes Enabled. Press the thermostat body firmly into the back plate mounted to the wall. Ensure that the pins on the body are correctly aligned with the header attached to the terminal board on the back plate. Failure to do so could cause damage to the thermostat. WARNING: Use caution when changing advanced configuration settings. These configuration settings should only be changed by those familiar with heating and cooling systems’ parameters. Contact your local HVAC professional for help. Turn the power on Restore power to your heating and cooling system. This can be done at the circuit breaker. For definitions of these settings and more information go to www.building36.com To check heating Press the MODE button to select HEAT mode. • Press UP button to raise setpoint above room temperature. • Wait 10 seconds for system to turn on. • After verify the heating system is working, raise the setpoint to the desired temperature. To check cooling Press MODE button to select COOL mode. • Press DOWN button to lower setpoint below room temperature. • Wait 10 seconds for system to turn on. • After verify cooling system is working, lower the setpoint to the desired temperature. 16 | Intelligent Thermostat User Guide Intelligent Thermostat User Guide | 17 Troubleshooting Batteries die quickly If a thermostat is paired using a C-Wire, that information is saved in the network and cannot be changed unless removed and paired again without a C-Wire connected. The same applies for inclusions on battery power. If you find your thermostat batteries are dying unusually quick, check and make sure the C-Wire connection is still intact. If a device is paired using C-Wire the Z-Wave communication never sleeps and the thermostat will act a repeater, sending messages for other devices as well. If the C-Wire is removed this kind of activity will drain the battery very quickly. Manual configuration of HVAC system on thermostat Exclusion of thermostat from Z-Wave network Heat pump is cooling when it should be heating The system type (Normal or Heat Pump) can be physically set on the thermostat if necessary by doing the following: If for some reason the thermostat must be removed from the network, follow the steps below to do so. 1. Put thermostat in OFF mode. 1. Press and hold the exclusion button on the gateway. Because both types of heat pump reversing valves share a single terminal on your thermostat back plate, you need to be sure you have the thermostat configured for the correct wire. Try switching your O/B selection on the customer thermostat configuration page. Contact your local HVAC professional for further with this issue. The same applies to a heat pump that is heating when it should be cooling. 2. Press and hold the UP button. 3. Press UP or DOWN buttons to select either ‘HP’ for heat pump configuration or ‘NORM’ for normal configuration. 4. Press MODE button to confirm your selection. 2. Press and hold the DOWN button the thermostat to enter exclusion mode. The RADIO icon will begin flashing red. 3. When the RADIO icon becomes solid the thermostat has now been successfully removed from the network. Heating or cooling doesn’t turn on when the target is set above or below the ambient The thermostat is configured to have a minimum setting of a half degree difference in temperature from the target before the system turns on to protect the system from damage due to excessive use. The cooling system also has a built in compressor delay. Each time compressor is turned on, a large amount of pressure is built up and must be equalized. This delay time prevents damage to the compressor from not allowing this pressure to equalize before being turned on again.
