HONEYWELL E529 Smart Digital Thermostat

Overview and  General Concepts

The E529.4G battery-operated wireless RF thermostat works in conjunction with an HVAC controllers partner such as an INNCOM X47 or X07.P to monitor and maintain room temperature. The E529.4G has an onboard temperature and optional humidity sensor to measure room temperature and humidity and reports this information to the HVAC controller partner physically connected to the room HVAC unit. The E529.4G has no onboard relays or HVAC control logic to control the room HVAC unit. It can only measure temperature an optional humidity and report this to its HVAC controller partner. The E529.4G has no IR Eye or S5-Bus installed and only communicates with other devices via RF. The HVAC partner in the room must be equipped with a Deep Mesh Layer-X radio, or S5 Bus connected to a radio-equipped device such as a PC502.4G. Appendix 4 shows typical installations using the E529.4G. Figure 1 below shows a typical E529.4G installation. Since the E529.4G has a user interface, it can also be used to configure inroom devices that do not have a user interface such as an X47, PC502.4G or X07.P. The E529.4G is routinely used as a commissioning tool.

Application

In its most basic form, the battery-powered e529 functions as a programmable DDC thermostat, automatically adjusting fan speeds and valves to achieve set temperature (Note: Guests can manually select heat or cool by pressing the OFF/AUTO button and cycling through OFF, AUTO, HEAT, and COOL). The e528 is also an “intelligent” device capable of linking ancillary sensors and serving as an information gateway. For example, coupled with a magnetic door switch (wired or wireless), motion detectors, and other devices, the e528 becomes the brain of a highly effective Energy Management System (EMS) application, communicating EMS information requirements to central servers. It comes standard with five relays and can be equipped with a radio frequency (RF) transceiver and Passive Infrared (PIR) motion detector. The e529 interfaces with all common HVAC unit voltage configurations (24 volt to 277 volt). The e529 can be installed in a wireless INNCOM guestroom control system, which makes installation feasible and affordable in either new construction or retrofit installations. Through interfaces with other devices and sensors, the e529 supports the following functions:

Remote HVAC control

•  Guestroom HVAC diagnostics
• Remote room occupancy indication
• Automatic lighting control
• Remote mini-bar access reporting
• Remote smoke detector annunciation
• Central Electronic Lock control
• humidity control
•  Remote drape control
• Outside temperature display
• Peak demand load shedding
• Property/Building Management System (PMS/BMS) interface

6. Fan: Forces the fan into a fixed speed. The first press sets low (LO) speed, pressing again sets medium (MED), and another press sets high (HI). The fan speed cycle begins again with the next push
7. DISPLAY: Cycles the LCD between the Set (selected) temperature and the measured Room temperature. [Outdoor the temperature may also be displayed if the system is networked
   to a server or the Web broadcasting readings from an outside sensor.].
8. ecoMODE® button (Optional Feature): Pressing this button allows the guest to voluntarily enable eco mode which opens the un-occupied temperature control band used by +/- 1 degrees (default value is 1 but can be increased)
9. Passive Infrared (PIR) Motion Sensor

2. the eco mode selected: The guest has pressed the green eco button to place the room in eco-mode
3. Room Entry Door Open: Appears when the room entry being monitored is open
4. Temperature Reading: Displays Set (target), Room (measured), or (optionally, if networked to an exterior sensor) Outside temperature. Press the DISPLAY button to toggle between each
5. Temperature Scale: Displays temperature in Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C)
6. Network Connection Status: The presence of this “dot” indicates the room is online and connected to the INNCOM server. NOTE: As of 6/2016 this feature DOES NOT currently work if using a CBL32 Room Gateway such as an E528.4G or PC502.4G. You will Do NOT get a Dot on the E529 display. You must use the E529 rUn2 WAN Test to check that the room is connected to the network
7. HVAC Control Mode: AUTO displayed when HVAC control is in AUTO Mode.
8. Fan Speed (LO, MED or HI): Displayed when the FAN button has been pressed to select a manual Fan Speed.
9. Temperature Reading: Displays Set (target), Room (measured), or (optionally, if networked to an exterior sensor) Outside temperature
10.  A “V” indicates the Value of a selected Parameter is being displayed
11. A “P” indicates a Parameter# is being displayed
12. Room Balcony or Window Open: Appears when The window or balcony door being monitored is open

Installation

CAUTION!

• The E529.4G is intended for indoor use only.
• The E529.4G installer must be a trained, experienced service technician.
• All wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances.
• Failure to follow the instructions provided with the product could damage the product or cause a hazardous condition.

Placement
Since the E529.4G has a sensor to measure room temperature, it should be installed in a location that represents the desired room temperature. In addition, select a location that minimizes exposure to conditions that interfere with room temperature measurements, such as away from external doors or windows and areas in direct sunlight. RF is critical to the E529.4G’s operation, so placement of the device and careful consideration of possible sources of radio interference are important. For instance, the unit should not be placed close to the floor or ceiling or near pipes or other metallic items.

Mounting Instructions

1. Separate the E529.4G body and the mounting plate by pulling the bottom of the mounting plate away from the E529.4G body and then pulling the mounting plate down. NOTE: If the back-mounting plate is rotated more than 2 or 3 degrees, the plastic tabs at the top of the plate may fracture or break off.
2. Attach the mounting plate to the wall or electrical box with the arrow embossed on the mounting plate pointing upward. The E529.4G is provided with four 6-32 ¾” sheet metal screws for mounting the plate to an existing 4” × 4” electrical box. If attaching the mounting plate to sheetrock or a similar wall surface, install four 6-8 × ¾ anchors. The four holes on the mounting plate can be used to mark the location for the anchors.
3. Install the four AA alkaline batteries (NOTE: Use alkaline batteries only) provided into the battery compartment located on the rear of the E529.4G. Depress the battery clamp latch at the top of the battery compartment and then swing open the battery clamp. Insert the 4 AA alkaline batteries, matching the “+” terminals on the batteries to the “+” symbols in the battery compartment. Close the battery clamp and verify the latch is securely fastened.
4.  Verify that the E529.4G display is now showing information. At power ON (ie inserting the 4 AA batteries), confirm all segments and characters are displayed on the E529 LCD. If the display is blank, verify that the batteries are completely installed with the right polarities and that the batteries are not dead. Just after startup, the E529 will cycle through RF Channels 26, 25, 24… to 11 and send a 0x00061 Battery Powered thermostat exchange message on each RF Channel looking for a reply from an HVAC thermostat partner with the same Room ID currently stored in the E529.4G. You will typically not have the HVAC partner configured yet. Just allow this process to continue until completion. You will be configuring the actual Room ID and other required parameters into the E529.4G later.
5. Hook the tabs at the top rear of the E529.4G housing into the matching depressions at the top of a mounting plate and rotate the bottom of the E529.4G housing toward the wall until it snaps into place on the mounting plate. Secure the E529.4G housing to the mounting plate with the two small screws provided with the E529.4G. The screws thread into two small holes on the bottom of the E529.4G housing.
