2. Touch the zone name to be controlled. The climate controls for the
controlled zone will be displayed.

To select another zone, press the soft button labeled CLIMATE and
repeat step 2 above.

Temperature Control

A controlled climate zone uses setpoints to determine when the zone will be
heated or cooled. A zone may be configured to use only heating, cooling, or
a combination of both to maintain a temperature. Depending on the system
mode, a zone may use either one (single) or two (dual) setpoints to regul ate
temperature.

• Single Setpoint (available for Heat, Cool or Auto modes): When
using a single setpoint to regulate temperature, a single setpoint is
used for regulation at all times, regardless of whether the system is
heating or cooling.

System User Guide – DOC. 7007B Prodigy System: PMC2 • 29

Prodigy® System Crestron PTX3

NOTE: When using a single setpoint, the controlled zone has a

20-minute change limiter to prevent system toggling.

• Dual Setpoints (for use in Auto mode only): When using dual
setpoints, separate heat and cool setpoints are used. When the
ambient temperature drops below the heat setpoint, the controlled
zone will call for heat to maintain the heat setpoint. When the
ambient temperature rises above the heat setpoint, the controlled
zone will not call for cooling until the temperature exceeds the cool
setpoint. When the ambient temperature drops below the cool
setpoint, the controlled zone will not call for heating until the
temperature is below the heat setpoint.

NOTE: When dual setpoints are used, the P-TSTATRF in the
controlled zone will display the setpoint closest to the ambient
temperature.

For instructions on setting the system mode, refer to “Set the System Mode”
below.

To set the temperature:

• Single Setpoint:
Touch k or j to raise or lower the temperature setting.

NOTE: When using a single setpoint, there is a 20-minute change
limiter to prevent system toggling.

• Dual Setpoints:

1. Verify that the controlled zone is set to the Auto mode.

2. Touch the setting (Cool or Heat) to be adjusted.

3. To lower the selected setpoint, touch j. To raise the
selected setpoint, touch k.

Set the System Mode

A Prodigy-controlled HVAC zone has up to five operating modes:
NOTE: Not all modes are available for all HVAC zones.

• OFF: In Off mode, all HVAC systems are disabled.

• HEAT: In Heat mode, the thermostat uses the heating system to

maintain the setpoint temperature. On the P-TSTATRF, a “flame”
icon will be displayed.

• AUXILIARY (AUX) HEAT MODE: In Auxiliary Heat mode, the
thermostat uses only the auxiliary heat output on heat pump or dual­fuel systems (if equipped) to maintain the setpoint temperature. This
setting can be useful when the heat pump is being serviced or when
there is an unexpected problem with it. On the P-TSTATRF, the
display will flash the “flame” icon when the system is in Auxiliary
Heat mode.

30 • Prodigy System: PMC2 System User Guide – DOC. 7007B

Crestron PTX3 Prodigy® System

• COOL: In Cool mode, the thermostat uses the cooling system to
maintain the setpoint temperature. On the P-TSTATRF, the
“snowflake” icon will be displayed.

• AUTO: In Auto mode, the thermostat allows the system to switch
between Heat and Cool automatically as needed to maintain the
setpoint temperature. On the P-TSTATRF, the display will show the
“flame” and “snowflake” icons.

To set a controlled zone’s system mode with the PTX3:

1. Select the zone to be controlled as described on page 28.

2. Touch MODE until the desired setting is displayed.

NOTE: Not all modes are available for all HVAC zones.

1. Select the zone to be controlled as described on page 28.

2. Touch FAN until the desired setting is displayed.

Scheduled Operation

A controlled climate zone can be set to maintain temperature setpoints on a
timed schedule. A daily schedule can be created for weekday (Monday
through Friday) and weekend (Saturday through Sunday) operation. Each
daily schedule can be divided into four time zones:

• Wake: Set to the time when you wake up and the desired
temperature you want during the morning until you leave.

• Leave: Set to the time you leave the home and the temperature you
want while you are away (typically set to an energy-saving setting).

• Return: Set to the time you return home and the temperature you
want during the evening, until bedtime.

• Sleep: Set to the time you go to bed and the temperature you want
overnight (typically set to an energy-saving setting).

A climate zone can also be set to an “Away” setting where a specified
temperature setpoint will be maintained until the scheduled program is set to
resume. This is typically set to an energy-saving setting.

Any temperature setpoint can be held using the Hold function. The Hold
function overrides any scheduled programming.

controlled zone will be displayed.

To select another zone, touch ROOM SELECT.

Temperature Control

A controlled climate zone uses setpoints to determine when the zone will be
heated or cooled. A zone may be configured to use only heating, cooling, or
a combination of both to maintain a temperature. Depending on the system
mode, a zone may use either one (single) or two (dual) setpoints to regul ate
temperature.

• Single Setpoint (available for Heat, Cool or Auto modes): When
using a single setpoint to regulate temperature, a single setpoint is
used for regulation at all times, regardless of whether the system is
heating or cooling.

NOTE: When using a single setpoint, the controlled zone has a
20-minute change limiter to prevent system toggling.

System User Guide – DOC. 7007B Prodigy System: PMC2 • 57

Prodigy® System Crestron PTL4

• Dual Setpoints (for use in Auto mode only): When using dual
setpoints, separate heat and cool setpoints are used. When the
ambient temperature drops below the heat setpoint, the controlled
zone will call for heat to maintain the heat setpoint. When the
ambient temperature rises above the heat setpoint, the controlled
zone will not call for cooling until the temperature exceeds the cool
setpoint. When the ambient temperature drops below the cool
setpoint, the controlled zone will not call for heating until the
temperature is below the heat setpoint.

NOTE: When dual setpoints are used, the P-TSTATRF in the
controlled zone will display the setpoint closest to the ambient
temperature.

For instructions on setting the system mode, refer to “Set the System Mode”
on page 58.

To set the temperature:

• Single Setpoint:
Touch k or j to raise or lower the temperature setting.

NOTE: When using a single setpoint, there is a 20-minute change
limiter to prevent system toggling.

• Dual Setpoints:

1. Verify that the controlled zone is set to the Auto mode.

2. To lower the heating or cooling setpoint, touch the j button
under the setting to be changed. To raise the heating or
cooling setpoint, touch the k button under the setting to be
changed.

Set the System Mode

A Prodigy-controlled HVAC zone has up to five operating modes:
NOTE: Not all modes are available for all HVAC zones.

• OFF: In Off mode, all HVAC systems are disabled.

• HEAT: In Heat mode, the thermostat uses the heating system to

maintain the setpoint temperature. On the P-TSTATRF, a “flame”
icon will be displayed.

• AUXILIARY (AUX) HEAT MODE: In Auxiliary Heat mode, the
thermostat uses only the auxiliary heat output on heat pump or dual­fuel systems (if equipped) to maintain the setpoint temperature. This
setting can be useful when the heat pump is being serviced or when
there is an unexpected problem with it. On the P-TSTATRF, the
display will flash the “flame” icon when the system is in Auxiliary
Heat mode.

• COOL: In Cool mode, the thermostat uses the cooling system to
maintain the setpoint temperature. On the P-TSTATRF, the
“snowflake” icon will be displayed.

58 • Prodigy System: PMC2 System User Guide – DOC. 7007B

Crestron PTL4 Prodigy® System

• AUTO: In Auto mode, the thermostat allows the system to switch
between Heat and Cool automatically as needed to maintain the
setpoint temperature. On the P-TSTATRF, the display will show the
“flame” and “snowflake” icons.

To set a controlled zone’s system mode with the PTL4:

1. Select the zone to be controlled as described on page 56.

2. Touch MODE until the desired setting is displayed.
NOTE: Not all modes are available for all HVAC zones.

Fan Control

A zone’s fan can be set for automatic operation (Auto) or constant operation
(On). When set to AUTO, the fan will run when the system is cooling or
warming the controlled zone. When set to ON, the fan will always run. To set
a controlled zone’s fan setting with the PTL4:

1. Select the zone to be controlled as described on page 56.

Scheduled Operation

A controlled climate zone can be set to maintain temperature setpoints on a
timed schedule. A daily schedule can be created for weekday (Monday
through Friday) and weekend (Saturday through Sunday) operation. Each
daily schedule can be divided into four time zones:

• Wake: Set to the time when you wake up and the desired
temperature you want during the morning until you leave.

• Leave: Set to the time you leave the home and the temperature you
want while you are away (typically set to an energy-saving setting).

• Return: Set to the time you return home and the temperature you
want during the evening, until bedtime.

• Sleep: Set to the time you go to bed and the temperature you want
overnight (typically set to an energy-saving setting).

A climate zone can also be set to an “Away” setting where a specified
temperature setpoint will be maintained until the scheduled program is set to
resume. This is typically set to an energy-saving setting.

Any temperature setpoint can be held using the Hold function. The Hold
function overrides any scheduled programming.

Run the Scheduled Program

To run a scheduled program:

1. Select the zone to be controlled as described on page 56.

For best cleaning results, use a clean, damp, non-abrasive cloth with any
commercially available non-ammonia glass cleaner. Bezels may not provide
a complete watertight seal. Therefore, apply cleaning solution to the cloth
rather than the surface of the touchscreen. Wipe touchscreen clean and
avoid getting moisture beneath the bezels.
