READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
WARNING
• Always turn off power at the main power supply
before installing, cleaning or removing the
thermostat. Failure to do so could result in
electrical shock hazard.
• Do not use on voltages over 30 VAC. Higher
voltages will damage the thermostat and could cause
shock or fire hazard.
FIRE AND SHOCK HAZARD

Before You Begin
• Determine the appropriate installation location for the
thermostat
The thermostat should face the bed area of the
room.
The thermostat must not be installed near or on
metal structures or surfaces including metal air
ducting that may be in the wall.
0HWDOVWUXFWXUHVDQGVXUIDFHVVLJQL¿FDQWO\
reduce the range of the wireless signal.
A. Refer to the Zoneline Owner’s Manual to change
the AUX setting to 6A (class 2 mode). The unit will
display “use wall thermostat” when finished.
B. Zoneline output is 24VAC. Be sure the jumper on the
wireless control card is on the AC position – jumper
is connecting “R” and “C” (common) pins. This is the
default position.

NETWORK INSTALLATION ONLY
NOTE: This section is not required unless the thermostats are
networked
Pairing the Thermostat and the Control Card:
In case of Network Installation with online management, the
thermostat and the Control Card must be paired with a Network
Programmer specific to the property before the installation.
Note: Thermostat and Control Card are factory paired.
Thermostat
The thermostat and control card must not be powered during the
pairing procedure - remove batteries from the thermostat and unplug
the control card from the HVAC unit during the pairing procedure.
• Plug one programmer connector into the thermostat;
• Plug the other programmer connector into the control card.
• Push the black button on the programmer.
•
The red light on the programmer should turn on and remain
steadily lit.
•
If the red light on the programmer is blinking or is not steadily
lit, unplug the programmer from the thermostat and the control
card and repeat the steps above.
• Unplug the programmer from the thermostat and the control card.

Installing the Wireless Control Card
• Power off the Zoneline
• Insert the Control Card wiring harness into the thermostat
connection port on the front of the Zoneline control box cover.
• For Makeup Air Models (*DBM and *EBM), insert the small
connector into the mating CDC Connection port next to the
thermostat port. (See Drawing 1)
NOTE: If not a Makeup Air Model, DO NOT plug in the CDC/
occupancy connection.

Thermostat Installation
Installing the Wireless Control Card (cont.)
• Using the supplied double sided tape, attach the control card
to the Zoneline control box cover. (See Drawing 2)Mount the
control card inside of the hvac unit.
The wireless control card antenna must not be touching any metal
components of the hvac unit.
The wireless control card antenna must face the thermostat on the
wall and be oriented so that any metal parts of the Zoneline do not
obstruct the wireless communication to the thermostat and, in case of
a network installation, to other wireless control cards and the server.
The wireless control card must not be placed in the Zoneline
condensation pan and must be mounted so it cannot fall into the
condensation pan.
• For wired applications, join the common and 24VAC wires with
any code-approved low voltage field supplied connection method.

02 – 1ST STAGE DIFFERENTIAL - HEAT
(0.2°F - 3.0°F; 1.0°F* default setting) Select the number
of degrees** the thermostat has to sense between the
automatic changeover temperature for heat and the room
temperature before a call for the 1st stage heating is
initiated.

04 – 1ST STAGE DIFFERENTIAL - COOL
(0.2°F - 3.0°F; 1.0°F* default setting) Select the number

for the 1st stage cooling is initiated.
**below the dead band offset (refer to page 40)
24 49-5000416 Rev. 1
Custom Energy Savings Settings
05 – INCIDENTAL OCCUPANCY THRESHOLD
(00 - 60; 05* default setting) Select the minimum period of
time (in minutes) for which occupancy needs to be detected
to enter the guest occupancy mode.
When occupancy is detected, thermostat will switch to
occupied mode for a duration of “Incidental Occupancy
Threshold” selected here.
If occupancy is detected for a period of time shorter than
the “Incidental Occupancy Threshold” selected here, the
thermostat will automatically revert to unoccupied mode at
the end of the “Incidental Occupancy Threshold” period and
continue to observe energy saving functions that were in
effect before the room became occupied. This setting allows
ignoring incidental room visits.
If occupancy is detected for a period of time longer than
the “Incidental Occupancy Threshold” selected here, the
thermostat will enter the guest occupancy mode. When the
thermostat is in the guest occupancy mode, it will revert
to unoccupied mode and initiate the setback temperature
only when occupancy is not detected for the duration of the
setback delay (Heat or Cool) period.
49-5000416 Rev. 1 25
Custom Energy Savings Settings
06 – NIGHT OCCUPANCY THRESHOLD
(00 - 60; 01* default setting) Select the minimum period of
time (in minutes) for which occupancy needs to be detected
in order to consider the room occupied during the “Night
Occupancy”period.
When occupancy is detected during the “Night Occupancy
Period” for longer than the “Night Occupancy Threshold”
selected here, the thermostat will instantaneously switch to
occupied mode.
If occupancy is detected for a period of time shorter than
the “Night Occupancy Threshold” selected here, the
thermostat will automatically revert to unoccupied mode and
continue to observe energy saving functions that were in
effect before the room became occupied.
If occupancy is detected for a period of time longer than the
“Night Occupancy Threshold” selected here, the thermostat
will disable the occupancy sensor and consider the room
occupied until the end of the “Night Occupancy” period.
This feature ensures that energy saving functions that may
affect guest comfort will not come in effect during the “Night
Occupancy” period.
26 49-5000416 Rev. 1
Custom Energy Savings Settings
07 – FORCED 2ND STAGE HEATING
(00 - 60; 15* default setting) Select a number of minutes
1st stage heating will run before 2nd stage heating
is automatically initiated if the guest set point is not
reached and the 2nd stage heating is not initiated through
differential settings.
This feature allows automatically turning on 2nd stage
heating to avoid excessive compressor use.
Set to 00 to disable the feature.
49-5000416 Rev. 1 27
Custom Energy Savings Settings
08 – NIGHT OCCUPANCY START
(00 - 23; 21* default setting) Select the start time (in hours
- 24-hour clock) for “Night Occupancy”
If occupancy is detected for a period of time longer
than the “Night Occupancy Threshold” during “Night
Occupancy” period, the thermostat will disable the
occupancy sensor and consider the room occupied until
the end of the “Night Occupancy” period.
This feature ensures that energy saving functions that
may affect guest comfort will not come in effect during
the “Night Occupancy” period if room was occupied for a
period of time longer than “Night Occupancy Threshold”.
28 49-5000416 Rev. 1
Custom Energy Savings Settings
09 – NIGHT OCCUPANCY END
(00 - 23; 09* default setting) Select the time (in hours 24-hour clock) for “Night Occupancy” to end.
This is the time of day the “Night Occupancy” ends and
the thermostat switches back to the room sensing settings
chosen in the other occupancy modes.
49-5000416 Rev. 1 29
Custom Energy Savings Settings
10 – TEMPERATURE RECOVERY TIME
(00 - 60; 15* default setting) Select the maximum time
allowed for a HVAC unit to attain temperature as defined
by Heat and Cool “Recovery Temperature”.
“Temperature Recovery Time” selected here and the actual
temperature recovery ability of the HVAC unit are used
to calculate setback temperatures. Calculated setback
temperatures maximize energy savings and at the same
time ensure that a comfortable room temperature (defined
as Heat and Cool “Recovery Temperature”) will be restored
within the selected “Temperature Recovery Time”.
Setting the “Temperature Recovery Time” to “00”, disables
temperature recovery. When temperature recovery is
disabled, thermostat will use the Minimum and Maximum
Setback Temperatures as setback set points.
