TBZ500 BATTERY POWERED Z-WAVE THERMOSTAT
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Z-Wave Thermostat (TBZ500) is a programmable, Z -Wave communicating thermostat. It can be powered using 24VAC (if both “R”&”C” wires are available at the thermostat) or using four (4) AA batteries. Using Z-Wave technology, end users have the ability to use many Z-Wave enabled control panels and Z-Wave hubs to control the thermostat, configure programming settings, as well as to display current conditions in the home or office.
Features Include:
• A fixed format display with white backlight
• Heating and cooling setup display options
• System mode (OFF, Heat, Cool,Auto, E-Heat)
• Fan mode control and display (Auto, ON)
• Changeover type for Heat Pump (HP) systems
• On-screen setup of HVAC type, Fan type
• F/C mode, and sensor calibration
Compatible with 24 VAC gas, oil, or electric heating and air conditioning systems; or gas millivolt heating systems DO NOT USE ON 120VAC SYSTEMS!
Standard Systems

TBZ500 THERMOSTAT AT A GLANCE
This thermostat is compatible with most HVAC systems, including the following:
• 24VAC systems Note: requires both the 24VAC R and C (“common”) wires unless battery powered.
• Standard gas/oil/electric heating systems
- 1 stage heating and cooling
- 2 stage heating and cooling
• Heat Pump systems:
- 1 stage heating and cooling
- 2 stage heating and cooling
- 2nd or 3rd stage Auxiliary heating (heat strips)
• Do NOT use for systems with line voltage controls (120/240VAC) The thermostat can either be powered by batteries or
24VAC.
Battery Powered Operation
The thermostat can be powered by four AA Alkaline batteries. The thermostat will operate for approximately two years on four AA Alkaline batteries depending on the frequency of user operations and backlight operation. Always use Alkaline batteries and replace all four at the same time with NEW batteries.
Z-Wave Operation when Battery Powered
Important Note: If the thermostat is installed on a Z-Wave network, while it is battery powered, it does not work as a Z-Wave repeater.
24VAC Powered Operation
Powering the thermostat with 24VAC power requires both the C wire (24VAC common wire - typically blue) and the R wire (24VAC hot wire - typically Red). If the C wire is not available, then batteries are required.
Note! If the thermostat is powered from 24VAC, do not install batteries!
Z-Wave Operation when 24VAC powered
If the thermostat is installe
d on a Z-Wave network while it is 24VAC powered, it
operates as an always-on Z-Wave repeater.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Steps
• Remove old thermostat.
• Install TBZ500
• Set up the thermostat for the HVAC system
• Enroll on Z-Wave network
Remove Existing Thermostat
• Turn off power to the HVAC system.
Usually at the HVAC system or the circuit breaker panel.
• Remove cover of old thermostat to expose the wiring terminals.
• Take a picture of the wiring terminals! This will help with troubleshooting later if needed.
• Mark the wires attached to the terminals with the wiring labels included.
• Use the terminal labels and not the wiring color to mark the wires.
• Remove the old thermostat base.
• Caution! Do not let the wires slip into the wall.
NOTE: Taking a picture is critical if problems are encountered. This will allow reinstallation of the old thermostat and will help with troubleshooting later if needed.

*Note:
The C wire (24V common) may not be present.
If C wire is not present, the TBZ500 must be powered by batteries.
If the C wire is present, DO NOT INSTALL BATTERIES in the TBZ500.
Mark the wires according to the terminal markings. There may be additional wires such as Y2, W2.
If y ou have RC and/or RH connections, see below. Other wires are not used.
Heat Pump Systems only
Wiring Colors
While the thermostat terminal markings are intended to match the wire color, (R=RED, G=GREEN, W=WHITE, Y=YELLOW) be sure to follow the terminal marking when marking the wires, even if the wire color doesn’t match.
WARNING: If the existing thermostat is a mercury-containing device, it must be disposed of in compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. Many states and/or local agencies have collection or exchange programs or hazardous waste collection programs for mercury containing devices.
For more information, see the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency website at: http://www.epa.gov/osw/hazard/wastetypes/universal/mce.htm

Install the Back Panel
Remove the back panel of the thermostat by gently prying back panel from the thermostat.
• Mount the thermostat base to the wall using the wall anchors and screws provided.
• Level as needed.
• Connect the wires according to the HVAC system type as below.
Standard Gas/Electric HVAC System Wiring
Single stage heating and cooling
R vs RC and RH Connections: Single Transformer HVAC Systems.
Typical modern central HVAC installations have a integrated heating and cooling system with a single 24VAC transformer. For these systems, there is only one 24VAC “R” wire and it can connect to either the RC or RH terminal on the thermostat. The thermostat is supplied with an RC-RH jumper installed.
Do not remove the jumper for common transformer HVAC systems.

Separate Transformer HVAC Systems.
Some installations may have separate heating and cooling systems with separate 24VAC transformers. For those systems there will be a separate “R” wire for the heating system (RH) and cooling system transformers (RC).
To c
onnect separate transformer systems, FIRST REMOVE THE SUPPLIED RH-RC JUMPER. Then connect the heating “R” wire to the RH terminal and the cooling “R” wire to the RC terminal on the thermostat.

IMPORTANT!:
for separate rc/rh sy stems, the internal rc=rh jumper must be cut on the back of the thermostat’s printed circuit board.
Single Transformer System
Most HVAC systems have a single 24VAC transformer. For these systems, there is
only one “R” wire and it can be connected to either the thermostat’s RC or RH
terminal as these are internally jumpered together. If installing a Standard HVAC system, connect the wires from the HVAC system to the corresponding terminals on the thermostat back terminal block. Use the table below as a guideline for connecting the wires.
Dual Transformer Systems
For HVAC systems that have separate heating and cooling systems, each with their own 24VAC transformers, there will
be an “R” wire from the heating system and an “R” wire from the cooling system.
For dual transformer systems, connect
the “C” wire from the cooling system to the thermostat’s “C” terminal.
DO NOT CONNECT THE “C” WIRE FROM THE HEATING SYSTEM.
