ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION

Establishing Communication between Master Thermostat and the Base Module

The thermostat and base module come factory linked out of the box. However, If communication is lost follow this easy- Two Step process to
re-establish the communication link.

  1. Press and hold the Base Module button for 3 seconds. The Blue LED will flash when ready to recieve initial signal from the Master Thermostat.
    (Base Module must be powered by 24V. Blue LED will be continuously on when 24V power is present.
  2. Hold the Light key (shown here) of the Master Thermostat for 10 seconds, the Blue LED on the base module will stop flashing after communication has been established between base module and the Master Thermostat.
    Note: The Blue LED on the base module will be on when power is present. The Blue LED will flash 3 times every time it recieves a signal from Master Thermostat. When a relay is on the corresponding LED relay indicator will be on.
    Note: If the base module does not recieve a signal from the Master Thermostat for 15 minutes it will turn off all relays until communication is reestablished. The Blue LED on the base module will also turn off to show communication has been lost.
    Note: If communication has been lost for 1 hour and if freeze protection is enabled, heat and emergency heat relays will be turned on. The heat and emergency heat relays will turn on for 10 minutes every hour if there has been a call for heat in the last 24 hours.Vive-Comfort-TP-Z-955W-Non-Programmable-Thermostat-fig-2 Vive-Comfort-TP-Z-955W-Non-Programmable-Thermostat-fig-3

Important: DO NOT hold the light button on the Master Thermostat for more than10 seconds after Step 2 above has been completed. Holding the light button down will break the communication link and the base module button will need to be pressed again to reestablish communication.

Outdoor Sensor Zone Remote Thermostat Freeze Protection Zones Calling for 2nd Stage Balance Point (Gas Auxiliary ON) Balance Point (Gas Auxiliary OFF) Balance Run Time
Enables the use of an outdoor sensor.

 

Connecting a sensor allows for Balance Point settings and will also display outdoor temperature.

See the outdoor sensor user guide for more information.

This step links a ZONE thermostat to a MASTER thermostat.

 

Master Thermostat is always Zone 1.

 

The ZONE thermostat controls zones 2-5 and 1 is required for each zone.

Turns on the heat for 10 minutes each hour if unable to communicate with the

master thermostat, if there has been a call for heat in the last 24 hours.

Configure the number of zones that must be calling for the same mode (heating or cooling) to allow 2nd stage to energize.

At least one of the zones must be calling for 2nd stage.

For heat pump applications, the auxiliary heat will be allowed to energize if only one zone is calling for heating. If Balance Point is enabled, the Balance Point conditions must be met for auxiliary heat to energize.

The balance point can eliminate the need for fosil fuel kit. An outdoor temperature above the balance point will cause the thermostat to only allow the Y terminal(s) to energize. An outdoor temperature below the balance point will cause the thermostat to only allow W2 to energize.

 

Note: Only shows up if Heat Pump is set to YES. Outdoor Sensor is turned ON, and GAS Auxiliary is turned ON.

Balance point with electric auxiliary can optimize Heat Pump usage. An outdoor temperature above the balance point will cause the thermostat to only allow the Y terminal(s) to energize. An outdoor temperature below the balance point will cause the thermostat to allow the Y terminal(s) and the W2 terminal to energize.

Note: Only shows up if Heat Pump is set to YES and Outdoor Sensor is turned ON and GAS Auxiliary is turned OFF.

Balance point run time will allow the W2 auxiliary terminal to energize even if the outdoor temperature is above the selected balance point temperature. If enabled, the auxiliary will energize for the current cycle after the balance point run time has expired.

This step connects the Z955W to Damper Modules.

Each Damper Module will open and close the damper(s) for the zone that is configured to control.

This will indicate the zone number is it configured for using the Zone 1-5 LED indicators.

Configure the desired damper position when all zones are satisfied.

All damper modules will control the damper to this position when calls for heating, cooling, and fan are complete.

The module indicates the damper position using Zone 1-5 LEDs. When the damper is closed, the Zone LED will be on solid. When the damper is open, the Zone LED will be flashing.

This step connects a DAS to the Z955W.

 

Connecting a DAS allows for high and low discharge air temperature limit settings.

The discharge air temperature sensor is recommended for safe and efficient zoning.

Configure the discharge (supply) air high temperature limit to prevent overheating.

When the discharge air temperature exceeds this setting, heating will

de-energize and the fan will remain energized to distribute the warmed air to the zone(s) calling for heat. Heating will energize when the discharge air temperature drops below the limit and the zone(s) still call for heat.

Configure the discharge (supply) air low-temperature limit to prevent coil freezing. When the discharge air temperature is below this setting, cooling will

de-energize and the fan will remain energized to distribute the cooled air to the zone(s) calling for cool.

Coding will re-energize when the temperature is above the limit if zone(s) is still calling.

This feature allows the thermostat to keep multiple stages of heat or cool energized until the setpoint is satisfied.

There are four time periods for each day ( WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN , SLEEP ). This thermostat has a programmable fan feature, which allows you to run the fan continuously during any time period. Programmable fan is available for Local Zone 1.
