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

Device or Node

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

Inclusion

Exclusion

Remove

Network Wide
Inclusion (NWI)

Z-Wave
Network

Primary
Controller

Secondary
Controller

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.

Inclusion
Controller

Scene

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

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.

Physical Installation and Wiring

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.

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.

6

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!
