ZTS-110 Z-Thermostat

Introduction

ZTS-110 Z-Thermostat (Figure 1) is a Z-Wave enabled programmable thermostat that allows you to control your room temperature with programmable time schedule such as WAKE, AWAY, HOME and SLEEP event which can maximize energy conservation and comfort while minimizing the effort required to maintaining the appropriate temperature in your home whether you are at home or away.

Also, you can use the ZTS-110 to control / check your room temperature by smart phone or PC while you are at home or outside through Z-Wave gateway.

Association

Devices and nodes are all terms to describe an individual Z-Wave 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 Z-Wave 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.

FLiRS is abbreviation for "Frequently Listening Routing Slave". FLiRS mode is targeted for battery operated applications and will enter sleep mode frequently in order to conserve battery consumption. The response to Z-Wave command is not as quick as Always Listening Device. Normally there is 1-2 seconds latency.

Always Listening mode 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. The response to Z-Wave command is immediate.

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

- We highly recommend that this installation procedure is performed by a trained HVAC technician.

- 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-110 and the electronic devices (e.g. heater, cooler) which will be connected and the electric source before installation and maintenance.

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-110 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.

Read following scenarios carefully before you start as it matters to the battery life under Z-Wave operation:

ZTS-110 can be powered by 4 x AA batteries, and/or 24Vac C wire. a) If it is powered by batteries or powered by batteries first then applied with 24Vac

before Z-Wave inclusion, ZTS-110 will self-configure to FLiRS mode which will save battery life by sleeping.

b) If it is powered by 24Vac or powered by 24Vac first then applied with batteries

before Z-Wave inclusion, ZTS-110 will self-configure to Always Listening Mode which will not sleep.

c) After inclusion process, ZTS-110 will not detect power source and not allow

changing operation mode. You must perform exclusion process first if need to change Z-Wave operation mode.

d) After Z-Wave inclusion process, if you reset ZTS-110 to default while both 24Vac

and batteries are applied, ZTS-110 will take 24Vac as primary power source and self-configure to Always Listening Mode, because reset to default process will automatically exclude ZTS-110 from the Z-Wave network. You should disconnect the power source and re-apply the power so ZTS-110 can detect the power

source type and self-configure to corresponding mode. You may check Glossary for the definition of FLiRS mode and Always Listening Mode.

Installation Location

The Thermostat is restricted to be used in indoor only. It should be mounted on an inner wall about 1.5m (5ft) 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 liquids.

Physically Installing the Thermostat

1. Open the ZTS-110 by pulling the two sections apart (Figure 2). Use the fingertips

of one hand to grip the tab on the front housing.

2. Apply power to the thermostat:

a) For battery power, install four AA batteries (alkaline recommended). Match

the polarity of the batteries with the +/- marks inside the battery compartment.

b) For 24Vac power, connect the wires as described in "Wiring"

3. Insert the two included wall anchors into the wall, aligned with two of the

mounting holes in the back housing of the thermostat.

4. Fasten the back housing to the wall using the two included mounting screws.

Insert the screws through the mounting holes in the housing and into the wall

anchors. (Figure 3)

5. Align the front housing of the thermostat with the back housing and push until the

housing sections are locked together.

Figure 3. Install the front housing

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!

If you will be powering the ZTS-110 with 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-110 HVAC System terminal block "C" and "RH" or "RC" terminals (see the following explanation, these may be jumpered together).

Common or Split Transformer Systems: Most HVAC systems have a common heating and cooling transformer. You must insert a jumper wire to tie the RH and RC inputs together for this configuration. If you have a system with separate heating and cooling transformers, do not insert a jumper wire between RC and RH.

When wiring split systems, wire the heating systems "24Vac Power" (red wire) to the ZTS-110 "RH" terminal, and wire the cooling systems "24Vac Power" to the ZTS-110 "RC" terminal. Also wire the cooling systems "24Vac Common" to the ZTS-110 "C" terminals.

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

Jumper Settings for ELECTH-HPUMP and HE-HG

There are 6 jumpered pins on the thermostat circuit board that identify whether your system is:

- Gas or electric heater

- Non-heat pump or heat pump system

You must ensure that these pins are set correctly for your system. The pin location is shown in the following diagram which is located at back side of ZTS-110.
