Setting the heating or cooling temperature setpoint

INFORMATION

• If the System Mode is OFF, pressing either the Up or Down buttons will take you to the System Mode screen. You must first set an operating mode before you can set or change the setpoint.
• To change the Heat Setpoint you must be in the Heating mode, to change the Cool Setpoint you must be in the Cooling mode. If you are in Auto mode, the mode of the last system call will be the setpoint screen displayed.

Setpoint Push: Note that you cannot lower the cooling setpoint below the heating setpoint. The thermostat will “push” the heating setpoint lower if you try to lower the cooling setpoint below the heating setpoint. It maintains a 3 degree separation between the heating and cooling setpoint. The same is true for raising the heating setpoint above the cooling setpoint. Again the thermostat will “push” the cooling setpoint up to maintain the 3 degree separation

Setting the System Mode: Off, Heat, Cool, Auto

System Modes

• OFF: System is off. No heating or cooling will come on. If system was on, it will turn off immediately.
• HEATING: Only heating will occur.
• COOLING: Only cooling will occur.
• AUTO: Heating or cooling will come on according to the heating and cooling setpoints. The system will automatically switch between heating and cooling modes as needed to maintain the setpoints.

Special Heat Pump Mode: Emergency Heat
EHEAT: An additional system mode, “EHEAT” for Emergency Heat will be displayed if the HVAC system type is set to Heat Pump. If there is a compressor failure with the Heat Pump system, setting the mode to EHEAT will allow the supplemental Aux heat to come on first whenever there is a call for heating. It also disables the compressor output to prevent further damage to the HVAC system.

Thermostat Operation

Minimum Run Time (MRT)
The thermostat has a Minimum Run Time after the start of any heating or cooling call. This minimum run time assures even heating and cooling cycles. The MRT delay will keep the system on even if reaches setpoint or you change the setpoint to a temperature that would satisfy the call, until the MRT expires. Changing the Mode to OFF will cancel the MRT and the system will turn off immediately. The MRT can be adjusted in the Installer Settings menu of the thermostat.
Note: The MRT status is shown in the thermostat System Status on-screen labels.

Minimum Off Time (MOT)
The thermostat has a Minimum Off Time after any heating or cooling call is finished. This delay prevents rapid heating/cooling cycles and also provides “short cycle protection” for compressor calls. This delay may be noticeable when you change a setpoint and it does not respond immediately due to another call that has recently completed and the MOT delay timer is preventing the system from restarting. The MOT delay time can be adjusted in the Installer Settings menu of the thermostat. There is a minimum of 5 minutes delay to assure compressor protection.

Z-Wave® Installation

• Z-Wave controllers from various manufacturers may support the Z-Wave Thermostat
• General V2 Device class used by the Evolve Z-WAVE Thermostat. The following procedure will allow the thermostat to be added to a Z-Wave network.
• General Programming Procedure (for controllers supporting the thermostat device class):
• Set your primary controller to Include, Add or Install mode, to add the thermostat as a node on your network (see your controller’s user manual for detailed instructions).
• In the Thermostat’s Main Menu, scroll down to the ZWave Install item. Select the item.
• When prompted by your Z-Wave controller, Press the YES button in the

ZWave Install screen.

• Your controller will indicate the thermostat was successfully added to its network (see your controller’s user manual for details). Also you can check if the thermostat was successfully added to the network by checking the ZHID (Home ID) and ZNID (Node ID) located in the Thermostat Info screen.
• For other specific tasks such as adding the thermostat to Scenes or Groups, or deleting the thermostat from an existing network, use the Z-Wave Install procedure.

Note: Before adding the thermostat to a Z-Wave Network, check that it does not already belong to one by viewing the Node ID (ZNID) located in the Thermostat Info screen. An un-installed thermostat should show zeros for the Node ID (000). Consult your controller’s user manual for details on removing a device from a Z-Wave network.

Setback Mode Operation

• If your controller does not support full thermostat device class functions, it may still be able to control the energy saving AWAY mode of the thermostat through BASIC_SET commands.
• Sending the BASIC_SET (Value = 0x00), the thermostat will go into the AWAY mode and use the predefined AWAY setback setpoints. These setpoints are set in the Main Menu

Away Setpoints item.

• Sending the BASIC_SET (Value = 0xFF), the thermostat will revert back to the Home mode it was in before the BASIC_SET (Value = 0x00) command was sent.
• Note that when the BASIC_SET commands are sent, the T100R will momentarily display the new mode.

Inclusion and Exclusion
Inclusion or exclusion is started by putting the controller into add node or remove node state and performing the General Programming Procedure outlined above. As part of the process, the thermostat sends a node information frame at normal power.
