ZTS-100 Z-Thermostat

Introduction

Welcome to the Z-Wave world of home automation, your ZTS-100 Z-Thermostat (Figure 1) is a comfort control master that allows to control your room temperature with programmable time schedule WAKE, AWAY, HOME and SLEEP event which can maximize energy conservation and comfort while minimizing the effort required to maintain the appropriate temperature in your home whether you are at home or away.

Also, it can be utilized to control / check your room temperature by the smart phone or PC while you are at office, home anywhere or around the world which can go through the Z-Wave gateway control.

ZTS-100 can be configured as either "Frequently Listening Routing Slaves" (FLiRS) or "Always Listening" node and it will distinguish the power source (batteries or 24Vac) automatically and switch to appropriate mode during inclusion stage.

FLiRS node type is targeted for battery operated applications and will enter sleep mode frequently in order to conserve battery consumption that can provide flexibility if there is out of 24Vac power line.

Always Listening node type is targeted for AC power operated applications and it can act as a repeater, which will re-transmit the RF signal to ensure that the signal is received by its intended destination by routing the signal around obstacle and radio dead spots.

Glossary

Devices and nodes are all terms to describe an individual ZWave device. These are all interchangeable when setting up your Z-Wave network.

Add a Z-Wave device to the network.

Delete a Z-Wave device from the network.

To take a device out of a group, scene or association group while that device still exists in the same Z-Wave network.

Network Wide Inclusion (NWI) enables both end-user friendly, Plug and Play like Z-Wave network installation as well as professional installation scenario where the inclusion process in terms of time will be reduced significantly. NWI is a feature supported by a new frame type named Explorer which enables the Z-Wave protocol to implement Adaptive Source Routing.

A collection of Z-Wave devices is controlled by primary and secondary controllers operating on the same system. A ZWave network has its own unique ID code so that controllers not in the network cannot control the system.

The first controller is used to set up your devices and network. Only the Primary Controller can be used to include or delete devices from a network. It is recommended that you mark the primary controller for each network for ease in modifying your network.

A controller containing network information about other devices within the network and is used for controlling devices. Secondary controller is created from the Primary Controller and cannot include or delete devices to the network.

Physical Installation and Wiring

A controller containing network information about other devices within the network and is used for controlling devices. Inclusion controller is created from the Primary Controller in a SIS enabled Z-Wave network. Inclusion Controller has the ability to add and remove devices from the network.

A collection of Z-Wave devices configured to turn to a specific level, setting, mode, or perform an operation. Scenes are usually activated by a controller, timed event, or specific conditions.

Association is used to organize nodes in different groups allowing the device to identify the nodes by a group identifier. The groups can also be copied to other devices.

CAUTION

- Read the enclosed instructions carefully before installing your new ZThermostat. Pay close attention to all warnings and notes and carefully follow the installation steps in the order they are presented to save time and minimize the risk of damaging the thermostat or the system it controls.

- Turn off ZTS-100 and the electronic devices (e.g. heater, cooler) which will be connected and the electric source before installation and maintenance. It is highly recommended that the installation procedure is processed by trained personnel.

Battery safety!

- Use new batteries of the recommended type and size only.

- Never mix used and new batteries together.

- To avoid chemical leaks, remove batteries from the ZTS-100 if you do not intend to use the unit for an extended period of time.

- Dispose of used batteries properly; do not burn or bury them.

Scene

Association

Installation Location:

The Thermostat is restricted to be used in indoor only. It should be mounted on an inner wall about 1.5m above the floor at a position where it is readily affected by changes of the general room temperature with freely circulating air. Avoid mounting above or near hot surfaces or equipment (e.g. TV, heater, refrigerator). Avoid mounting where it will be exposed to direct sunshine, drafts, or in a laundry room or other enclosed space. Do not expose this unit to dripping or splashing.

Wiring:

- Be sure the operation mode is OFF and Fan selection is Fan Auto

- Wire the proper cables at the terminal block according to the circuit diagram

- Afterward, push all cables back into the wall

- Do not use metal conduit or of cable provided with a metal sheath

- Recommends adding fuse or protective device in the line circuit

Important!

The ZTS-100 can be powered by alkaline batteries AA x 4pcs or 24Vac. Connect the "24Vac Common" (typically the black wire/terminal) and "24Vac Power" (typically the Red wire/terminal) from the HVAC system to the ZTS-100 HVAC System terminal block "C" and "RH" or "RC" terminals (the RH and RC terminals are default tied together).

Common or Split Transformer Systems: Most HVAC systems have a common heating and cooling transformer. A wire is connected to tie the RH and RC inputs together for this configuration. If you have a system with separate heating and cooling transformers, you will need to disconnect the RH and RC wire.

When wiring split systems, wire the heating systems "24Vac Power" (red wire) to the ZTS-100 "RH" terminal, and wire the cooling systems "24Vac Power" to the ZTS-100 "RC" terminal. Also wire the cooling systems "24Vac Common" to the ZTS-100 "C" terminals.

Note: Do not split RC/RH for Heat Pump systems!
