Installation Instructions
5
On the circuit board, set the voltage selection switch
(Figure 2) to the appropriate voltage for the application
• 24 V = 24 VAC
• 110–277 V = 120, 240, or 277 VAC.
Note:
The circuit board is shipped with the voltage selection switch
in the 110-227 V position. For 24 VAC use, the switch must
be in the 24 V position.
CAUTION
Before applying power, the voltage selection switch must be in
the appropriate position. Failure to select the correct voltage
can cause thermostat malfunction or permanently damage the
thermostat.
6 The circuit board is also equipped with configuration
jumpers (JP1, JP3, and JP4 in Figure 2). Depending on the
application, it may be necessary to reconfigure the
following jumpers:
•JP4: 2/4 Pipe Sensor Jumper - This jumper selects
between 2-pipe (jumper ON) and 4-pipe (jumper OFF)
operation (see “Fan Operation” on page 7).
•JP3: Door/Window Switch Jumper - This jumper is
shipped normally open. Placement of a jumper allows
for occupancy detection and door/window switch only
operation (see “Optional Occupancy Detection
Equipment Operation” on page 9).
•JP1: Removal of this jumper allows the sensor to be
located in a remote location.
CAUTION
To use a remote sensor on units with local sensing capability,
remove jumper JP1 to disable local sensing. Failure to remove
JP1 can cause improper operation of the thermostat with a
remote probe installed.

Thermostat Button Operation
The thermostat interface (Figure 4) contains buttons for use in
navigating to accompanying menus/screens and for performing
specific operations. These buttons and operations are described
below.
The System button (Figure 4) contains and displays the
following modes of operation:
OFF—All thermostat outputs are off. The fan is still
operational if FAN ON is selected.
AUTO—The thermostat automatically selects heating or
cooling mode depending on the set point and room
temperature. If demand exists, the appropriate HEAT or COOL
icon illuminates. A 3°F dead band is provided to prevent short
cycling between heating and cooling modes. After changeover,
the control point automatically shifts so that the control OFF
point equals the set point temperature.
COOL—The thermostat operates as a cooling only
thermostat.

McQuay IM 8467
Operation
Fancoil Operation
Fancoil operation is either a 2-pipe or 4-pipe configuration
which is determined by jumper selection JP4 (see “Mounting
and Wiring the Thermostat” on page 3).
2-Pipe Operation
In this configuration, the thermostat permanently disables the
secondary output and disables the fan from cycling in an
invalid mode. The main output configuration is dependent on
the pipe sensor input. With a pipe sensor connected, the
thermostat automatically selects heating or cooling depending
on the sensed water temperature. If the pipe sensor input is
open (unconnected), the main output only cools. If the pipe
sensor input is shorted, the main output only heats. Normal
thermostat default is for 4-pipe operation. For 2-pipe
operation, install a jumper on JP4.
4-Pipe Operation
In this configuration, both the main output (COOL) and the
secondary output (HEAT) are available. These both cycle ON
depending on the mode of the thermostat. With a pipe sensor
connected, the thermostat automatically changes the main
output to heat and disables the secondary output if the main
coil water is hot. For 4-pipe operation, the JP4 jumper is
removed.
Pipe Sensor Operation
A pipe sensor can be connected when the thermostat is
configured for either 2-pipe or 4-pipe configuration. The pipe
sensor is used to determine the water temperature in the main
coil, which should be connected to the primary output.
Pipe sensor input—use a 10K Remote Probe or a standard ONOff Aquastat for summer/winter changeover.
Purge Cycle
With a pipe sensor connected, the thermostat initiates a purge
cycle if the sensed water temperature is ambiguous (not
adequately hot or cold). The sequence for purge cycle
operation is as follows:
1 The thermostat has a call for heat or cooling.
Note: If at any time the call goes away, the thermostat
stops the purge cycle.
2 The thermostat checks the pipe sensor to verify water
temperature.
3 If the water temperature is beyond 15°F of the set point,
normal HVAC control occurs.
4 If the water temperature is not beyond 15°F of the set point,
the thermostat checks to see if the water temperature is
above 80°F or below 60°F.
If yes, normal HVAC control occurs.
If no, the thermostat opens the main output (COOL) for
three minutes.
5 After the three minute purge cycle occurs, the thermostat
checks to see if the water temperature is more than 15°F
from the set point, or above 80°F, or below 60°F.
If yes, normal HVAC operation occurs.
If no, the valve is left open and the thermostat continues to
search for a valid reading.
Note – If at any time the demand goes away, the thermostat will
stop the purge cycle.

water temperature.

Setback Operation
In this configuration, the low level switch input normally is
open. To enable setback operation, the JP3 jumper is removed
(see “Mounting and Wiring the Thermostat” on page 3). The
input will close and the thermostat heating and cooling setback
limits can then be used as temperature control points. Fan
operation in setback is cycled with demand. Press any
thermostat key to override setback for one hour. Setback
overrides any user setting except if the control is turned to
OFF.

Optional Occupancy Detection Equipment Operation
Optional Occupancy Detection Equipment Operation
The T170 thermostat can be used with optional S200 series
occupancy detection equipment. Purchasing and installing this
equipment to compliment the thermostat adds energy savings
by setting back HVAC operation during occupied and
unoccupied times. Optional detection equipment
configurations and operation are described below.
SB200-001 Occupancy Sensor
The SB200-001 occupancy sensor (Figure 10) serves as an
occupancy sensor for automatic control of a guest room HVAC
system. It incorporates an innovative dual delay processor
which allows the sensor to verify the nature of occupancies,
and is capable of eliminating unnecessary actuations of the
HVAC device due to unintentional passages or short time
occupancies. The sensor may also serve as a slave sensor
(Figure 11 on page 10).
The sensor switch is open in occupied mode and closed in
unoccupied mode. An optional door and/or window switch
(Figure 10) is open when the door/window is open and is
closed when the door/window is closed.
Note – To use this configuration, a jumper must be installed to
JP3 to allow occupancy input.
Note – An optional door and/or window switch (Figure 10) can be
added for use with the SB200-001 sensor.
Operation
In an occupied mode, the thermostat operates normally and
looks for a door open signal. When the door opens, the
thermostat waits for a door close signal. If the door is open for
more than two minutes, the thermostat turns the HVAC system
outputs to OFF. During this two minute period, if any button is
pressed on the keypad, the time delay is extended to ten
minutes. The time delay can only be extended once. Once the
HVAC outputs transition to OFF, a door closure is required to
re-enable the outputs. When the door closes, the thermostat
starts a two minute timer and tries to detect occupancy. If the
timer expires and no occupancy is detected, the thermostat
transitions to an unoccupied state. If occupancy is detected
while the timer is running, the thermostat will remain in the
occupied mode.
In an unoccupied mode, the thermostat sets heating and
cooling set points to setback values as determined by factory
or user settings. The fan is automatically set to cycle with
demand. The thermostat continually monitors the occupancy
sensor and will enter into occupied mode if occupancy is
detected.
If the installation is only using a door/window switch, the
thermostat will disable the HVAC outputs if this output is open
for longer than two minutes.
Figure 10: Optional equipment configuration #1
To enable door/window switch only operation, install a jumper
to JP3 (see “Mounting and Wiring the Thermostat” on page 3)
and the occupancy input must be shorted to circuit common.
McQuay IM 8469
Optional Occupancy Detection Equipment Operation
SD200-001 Occupancy Sensor
The SD200-001 occupancy sensor (Figure 11) serves as a
master sensor for a guest room HVAC management system.
The sensor provides HVAC operation according to occupancy
status, as well as door/window switch monitoring, selectable
high/low temperature setback, form-C output, slave sensor
connectivity, and a five minute door open HVAC shut-off.
Note – To use this configuration, the jumper to JP3 is removed to
allow setback input.
Note – An optional door and/or window switch (Figure 11) and
slave sensor can be added for use with the SD200-001
sensor.
Figure 11: Optional equipment configuration #2
Operation
In an occupied mode, the SD200-001 occupancy sensor
(Figure 11) and door switch use advanced microprocessor
logic to determine occupancy. A door open signal will initiate
occupancy status detection. If the sensor determines that a
room is occupied, it will allow normal HVAC control. The
sensor will wait for another door open signal before
determining occupancy again.
In an unoccupied mode, the sensor continually monitors the
room. Any occupancy detection will set the operation to
occupied mode.
10McQuay IM 846
Optional Occupancy Detection Equipment Operation
SD200-002 Occupancy Sensor
The SD200-002 occupancy sensor serves as a stand alone
master sensor for a guest room HVAC management system.
The sensor provides HVAC operation according to occupancy
status, as well as selectable high/low temperature setback,
form-C output, and a five minute door open HVAC shut-off.
This system provides basic room setback and is ideal for
control of HVAC in commercial spaces.
Note – To use this configuration, the jumper to JP3 is removed to
allow setback input.
Figure 12: Optional equipment configuration #3
Operation
With each occupancy detection, an OFF delay is started and
can be set to delay for up to 30 minutes.
