The Dropdown Dashboard displays temperature, humidity, and other readings. It will also show the high and low readings of the day.
Care and Use of Your Thermostat
Pencils, pens and other sharp objects should never be used on your thermostat; these may damage your touchscreen. Only use your fingertip to press the touchscreen buttons.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR CLEANERS THAT CONTAIN SOLVENTS. DO NOT SPRAY ANYTHING DIRECTLY ONTO THE THERMOSTAT.
Selecting Your Desired Temperature and Mode
Press
The Heat or Cool Setpoint is the temperature the room has to reach before heating or cooling will turn off. (Without regard to deadband)
Press
Press the FAN Icon
FAN ON fan runs constantly even in OFF Mode.
FAN AUTO fan only runs with a heating or cooling demand.
NOTE: When the thermostat is connected to the Skyport; the Time & Date are automatically synchronized to the Skyport Cloud, including automatic Daylight Savings adjustments.
Setting the Time
Setting the Date
Connect to Wi-Fi (from initial start-up)
When power is connected to the thermostat and it has not been configured to connect to a Wi-Fi Access point, the following message appears:
Wi-Fi Set Up
No Wi-Fi access points are configured for your thermostat.
Would you like to set up one now?
Although there is more than one way to create a Skyport account, the steps below illustrate creation from a browser. If the thermostat is connected to the local Wi-Fi Access Point, but not yet joined to a Skyport account, you may join the thermostat to an account by doing the following:
This thermostat features up to four programmable time periods per 24-hour day: Morning, Day, Evening, and Night. The start time for each time period is adjustable. The stop time for each time period is the start time for the next period.
The fan may be programmed to turn on automatically for a specific period during the day.
The Screensaver allows you to create custom slideshows.
Press this button to preview your screensaver operation before returning to the Home Screen. After the preview, press anywhere on the screen to return to the sub menu.
The alerts let you know when your system needs service.
The display brightness options may be adjusted in this menu.
You may set the type of background that appears on the thermostat Home Screen.
Vacation or pressing the AWAY button will use temporary, energy-saving settings without changing the regular schedule. Pressing the HOME button will return the thermostat to normal comfort settings.
Security settings may be set to limit or prevent changes to your thermostat.
This button contains valuable service and system runtime information.
ColorTouch thermostats support the handling of specific signals from the utility provider. The utility-generated signals carry pricing information and/or setback actions that alter the comfort settings of the thermostat in order to reduce energy usage on demand. This is known as Automated Demand Response or ADR for short. You must register to participate in a utility-sponsored program, if offered by your local utility, to take advantage of this feature.
SKYPORT CLOUD SERVICES
From the web application, the user will select Thermostat Settings from the left column. Then the Demand Response button is selected.
The Demand Response configuration page, shown below, is where the thermostat is configured to respond to the energy provider’s signals. It also sets operational parameters for the thermostat. The left column of the ADR configuration page allows or prevents access by the utility. Here communication with the utility and your thermostat may be turned On or Off. The selected utility will provide a Program ID. The Account ID would normally be the occupant’s utility account number.
The right column of the ADR configuration page is where the occupant adjusts the operational parameters for ADR. The utility may send up to 3 types of ADR signals to Skyport. These are:
The Maximum Cooling Setpoint and Minimum Heating Setpoints for ADR events are adjusted here. The Static Settings are applied when the utility sends a signal to allow the occupant to enforce their own discrete temperature
settings during an ADR event. The Offset Settings allow the utility to modify the Cool or Heat setpoints by the value set here during an ADR event. A Price Trigger setting allows the occupant to set the maximum cost of energy threshold. When this threshold is exceeded the Price dependent action is enforced. This Price Trigger and Dependent action is enforced independent of an ADR event, as long as the utility sends ‘real-time’ pricing.
Selecting the Overview tab of the ADR page will cause a summary of ADR events to be displayed.
Utility and Program setup must be done at the Skyport Cloud Services account. From the thermostat Home Screen, press the ‘Menu’ button, then select ‘Settings”.
From the above screen, the ‘Automated Demand Response’ button is pressed.
By selecting ADR – On, the user can participate in ADR events triggered by their utility, or price-dependent events.
Selecting the ‘Price Dependent Action’ button allows the user to determine what action is taken when the price rises above the set threshold.
In the above example; if the price threshold is exceeded, the thermostat will invoke the ‘Offset Setpoints’ configured for an ADR event until the event is over.
Please note that the Threshold price may only be set in the Skyport Cloud Services account. Selecting ‘Skip Event’ will take no action when the set price threshold is exceeded.
If a Warmer or Cooler button is pressed during an active ADR event, then the user is presented with this opt-out screen.
If a pricing-triggered ADR event is enabled, there will be a green leaf on the top bar along with the actual cost of energy. This will be accompanied by associated text as shown below.
The Emergency Heat function is only available if your thermostat is set to control a Heat Pump.
To initiate the Emergency Heat feature, press the Emergency Heat button. During Emergency Heat operation, the thermostat will turn on the fan and auxiliary stages of heat when there is a demand for heat. The 1st stage of heating and all stages of cooling will be unavailable. To exit Emergency Heat, press the Emergency Heat button.
ColorTouch Assistant may be downloaded at no charge at: www.venstar.com/thermostats/colortouch/assistant
Every time the user runs the ColorTouch Assistant software, it automatically connects to Venstar ColorTouch website in the background and updates the software and firmware (the operating system for ColorTouch) at no cost.
The ColorTouch Assistant allows you to use your computer to:
Uploading Photos and Settings to your thermostat
When you are finished adding and editing photos and settings, click on Save to SD. When prompted, remove the SD card from the SD card reader on your computer.
At the thermostat:
Insert the SD card into the SD Card Slot.
Remove and Replace the old thermostat
To install the thermostat properly, please follow these step-by-step instructions. If you are unsure about any of these steps, call a qualified technician for assistance.
If the terminal designations on your old thermostat do not match those on the new thermostat, refer to the chart below or the wiring diagrams that follow.
Before you go any further, determine what your existing wiring and equipment situation is.
Making 4 Wires Work When 5 Wires Are Required
If you would like to install the Venstar thermostat using only 4 wires when 5 are required, follow the directions below. You will need a screwdriver along with a 3″ long piece of thermostat wire to use as a jumper:
Making 5 Wires Work When 6 Wires Are Required
If you have a system that requires 6 wires, and you would like to install the Venstar thermostat using only 5 wires, follow the directions below. You will need a screwdriver along with a 3″ long piece of thermostat wire to use as a jumper:
The T5800 Thermostat Backplate
NOTE: The backplate does not fully cover a full size vertical junction box. The ACC-WPLWH ColorTouch Wallplate or a single-gang, horizontally mounted junction box would be needed for that type of installation.
To remove the thermostat backplate:
Using the Finger Pull Areas, pull the front housing away from the backplate.
Dip switches are located on the back of the thermostat
