Aprilaire 8810 TouchScreen Wi-Fi Thermostat Installation Instruction

Aprilaire 8810 TouchScreen Wi-Fi Thermostat

WI-FI SETUP

To connect the 8810 thermostats to a Wi-Fi network follow the steps below.

Note: You will need a computer or mobile device with Wi-Fi and a web browser.

1. STEP 1
   Verify the thermostat is in Wi-Fi Connection Mode.
   The thermostat by default will be in Wi-Fi Connection Mode. To confirm that the thermostat is in Wi-Fi Connection Mode, verify that the radio bars on the thermostat are strobing as shown below.
   Note: If the thermostat is not in Wi-Fi Connection Mode, refer to the Owner’s manual for instructions on clearing the Wi-Fi settings.
2. STEP 2
   Connect to the thermostat using a computer or mobile device
   • On your computer or mobile device, scan for available networks. The thermostat should appear as APRILAIRE8810 followed by a unique identifier, corresponding to the last 6 digits of the MAC address.
   • Connect to the thermostat you want to configure.
   • If you are installing multiple thermostats, you can determine the MAC address of the specific thermostat you are trying to configure by removing the cover on the front of the thermostat to access the MAC address label.
3. STEP 3
   • Configure the thermostat to connect to the Wi-Fi network.
   • Open a web browser on your computer or mobile device. In the browser enter: http://192.168.1.99/index.html
   • In the web browser interface select the network you want to connect the thermostat to, and enter the network’s security credentials.
4. STEP 4
   Verify the thermostat is connected to the Wi-Fi network.
   • Once all the required information is entered in the web browser interface, the thermostat will connect to the Wi-Fi network you selected. After the thermostat is connected to the Wi-Fi network, the thermostat will display the radio bars based on the Wi-Fi signal strength. If the radio bars are not displaying the signal strength, refer to Wi-Fi Maintenance and Troubleshooting in the Owner’s manual.
     Note: If you are not using the thermostat with a home automation system, but are instead using an Aprilaire account to communicate with the thermostat, refer to Wi-Fi Thermostat App User Guide and then Start Up on my.aprilaire.com for instructions on connecting to Wi-Fi and registering to an Aprilaire account.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION LOCATION RECOMMENDATIONS

The thermostat should be mounted:

• On an interior wall, in a frequently occupied space.
• Approximately 5‘ above floor.
• At least 18” from outside wall.
• Thermostat can be mounted to a vertical junction box.

Do not mount the thermostat:

• Behind doors, in corners, or other dead air spaces.
• In direct sunlight, near lighting fixtures, or other appliances that give off heat.
• On an outside or unconditioned area wall.
• In the flow of a supply register, in stairwells, or near outside doors.
• On a wall with concealed pipes or ductwork.

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR (OPTIONAL)

• Outdoor temperature can be measured by attaching an 8052 sensor to the S1 and S2 terminals. System setting #15 (Outdoor Sensor) is used to enable sensor.

Heat pump applications can use the outdoor temperature to effectively utilize the heat pump:

• When the outdoor temperature is less than the Low Balance Point, the heat pump will be locked out and only auxiliary heating will be used to provide heating.
• When the outdoor temperature is higher than the High Balance Point, the auxiliary heating will be locked out and only the heat pump will be used to provide heating.
• Install on side of building out of direct sunlight (north side recommended).
• Mount above snow line.
• Mount at least 3’ away from exhaust vents and condensing lines.
• Maximum wire length is 300’.
• Do not route wires along 120 VAC lines.

THERMOSTAT MOUNTING

1. Remove the rear mounting plate from the thermostat.
2. Pull wires through the opening on the back of the rear mounting plate.
3. Position and level the mounting plate of the thermostat on wall and mark the hole locations with a pencil.
4. Drill 1/4” holes and insert supplied anchors (drywall only).
5. Place a mounting plate over anchors, insert and tighten screws.
6. Seal wire entry holes to prevent drafts affecting temperature readings.

POWER & RESET OPTIONS

• The thermostat is powered from 24VAC. In the case of power loss the thermostat will maintain the clock for 24 hours. The thermostat has a memory backup that saves the thermostat settings in case of power interruption.
• The reset button located under the cover on the front of the thermostat can be used to reset the thermostat to factory defaults. The system settings will also be set to default.

WIRING TERMINAL

• Wire specifications
  • 18-24 gauge thermostat wire
• Installation notes
• Ensure power at the HVAC equipment is off.
• Loosen screw terminals, insert stripped wire and re-tighten.
• Push the excess wire back into the opening and plug the wall opening to prevent drafts.
• RC – 24 VAC supply cooling*
• R – 24 VAC supply heating*
• W – First stage heat (conventional) / First stage auxiliary (heat pump)
• Y – First stage cooling (conventional) / First stage compressor (heat pump)
• G – Fan
• C – Common
• S1 & S2 – Outdoor temperature sensor (optional)
• O/B – Reversing valve
• L – System fault indicator
• W2 – Second stage heat (conventional) / Second stage auxiliary (heat pump) Y2 – Second stage cooling (conventional) / Second stage compressor (heat pump)
• A jumper between RC & R is used in single transformer systems (see wiring diagrams).
• WIRING – SINGLE TRANSFORMER (USE JUMPER WIRE) FOR HEAT/COOL SYSTEM
• WIRING – SINGLE TRANSFORMER (USE JUMPER WIRE) FOR HEAT PUMP SYSTEM

TROUBLESHOOTING

DISPLAY IS BLANK

• Check circuit breaker and reset if necessary.
• Make sure power switch at heating & cooling system is on.
• Make sure furnace door is closed securely.

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS DO NOT CHANGE

• Make sure heating and cooling temperatures are set to acceptable ranges:
• Heat: 40° to 90°F (4° to 32°C).
• Cool: 50° to 99°F (10° to 37°C).

HEATING SYSTEM DOES NOT RESPOND (“HEATING” APPEARS ON SCREEN)

• • Check for 24 VAC at the equipment on the secondary side of the transformer between power and common. If voltage is not present, check the heating equipment to find the cause of the problem.
• Check for 24 VAC between the heat terminal (W) and the transformer common. If 24 VAC is present, the thermostat is functional. Check the heating  equipment to find the cause of the problem.
• Check for loose or broken wires between the thermostat and the heating equipment.

COOLING SYSTEM DOES NOT RESPOND (“COOLING” APPEARS ON SCREEN)

• Check for 24 VAC at the equipment on the secondary side of the transformer between power and common. If voltage is not present, check the cooling equipment to find the cause of the problem.
• Check for 24 VAC between the cooling terminal (Y) and the transformer common. If 24 VAC is present, the thermostat is functional. Check the cooling system to find the cause of the problem.
• Check for loose or broken wires between the thermostat and the cooling equipment.

FAN DOES NOT TURN ON IN A CALL FOR HEAT

• Check System Setting #07 (Fan Control), to make sure the fan control is properly set to match the type of system (see page 14).

HEAT PUMP ISSUES COOL AIR IN HEAT MODE, OR WARM AIR IN COOL MODE

• Check System Setting #03 (Reversing Valve), to make sure it is properly

HEAT/COOL BOTH ON AT SAME TIME

• Check SW1 (Equipment Type), to make sure it is set to match the installed heating/cooling equipment
• Check to make sure heating and cooling wires are not shorted together.

HEATING EQUIPMENT IS RUNNING IN COOL MODE

• Check SW1 (Equipment Type), to make sure it is set to match the installed heating/cooling equipment

“HEATING” IS NOT DISPLAYED

• Change the System Mode to Heat, and set the temperature level above the current room temperature.

“COOLING” IS NOT DISPLAYED

• Change the System Mode to Cool, and set the temperature level below the current room temperature.
