Each relay bank or zone gets wired to an HVAC
system. The CLI-8000/8000A supports wiring up to
eight individual HVAC systems.
Connect cable from the RS-232 port to a Savant
Controller. Communication between the controller
and the CLI-8000/8000A is achieved over the
RS-232 connection. RS-232 supports 19200 baud.
Mini USB (Mini-B) female connector (Serial UART);
Debug terminal
The DSB/1-Wire Connector connects to the Data
Sensor Bus, which is a serial bus based on the 1Wire protocol. The CLI-THFM1 smart sensor
communicates over the Data Sensor Bus through
this connection. Up to two smart sensors per zone
can be configured with a total of eight per system.
Monitors and configures the system. Use the keypad
to scroll through the available menus and configure
each zone.
Indoor, Outdoor, Slab, and Plenum two-wire
temperature sensors are connected here. A
maximum of two per zone is supported.
Remove the power input access screw and remove
the associated panel. This will give user access to
the power supply board for wiring the 24V AC input
power.
The Zone LED’s indicate which zone has been
selected via the keypad for configuration.
System is powered by 24V AC power source. Power
cable is fed through ½ inch cable restraint (not
included) installed at bottom of box. Input power is
wired to a two position screw terminal block on the
power supply board.
The USB port connects to the optional Android™
based tablet. Communication between the tablet and
the CLI-8000A version of TPU is achieved through
the USB port.
Maintenance functions such as firmware upgrades
are achieved through the Smart Connect
connection. Requires SCA-CONF-XX or SCACONFL-XX Smart Connect cable.

Savant Confidential and Proprietary
(TPU) are at the heart of the Savant® Centralized Climate Control system. Through
communications with a number of remote sensors and optional user interfaces, the
Thermostat Processing Unit can manage up to eight heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC) systems. The system is easily integrated with most leading
HVAC systems and can be designed as one part of a complete Savant® Control
System solution.
The CLI-8000 version is configured using the keypad and display located on the front
panel.
The CLI-8000A version is configured using a climate application loaded onto an
Android™ based tablet (Android is a trademark of Google Inc). The tablet, which is
installed into the front cover of the TPU, incorporates a touch screen interface with an
elegant climate control application for setting up, viewing, and controlling each
climate zone independently.
Once installed and configured, either system the can be integrated to add monitoring
and control through an iOS device such as iPad® or iPod®.
This Quick Reference Guide provides the information necessary to install the
CLI-8000/8000A as well as information on wiring to each of the optional and required
components of the Savant HVAC solution.

Savant® Centralized Climate Solution CLI-8000/8000A Quick Reference Guide
Can be either surface mounted using a pair of mounting brackets (SMB-8000-XX) or
flush mounted between two 16 inch on center studs. For more information on
mounting, refer to the deployment guides for the CLI-8000 (009-1073-XX) or
CLI-8000A (009-1154-XX).
Option 1: Mount between studs (Flush Mount)
1. Locate two adjacent studs that are 16 inch on center. If there is drywall, cut to the
dimensions below.
2. Slide between studs. On left and right side there are three mounting holes. Screw
to inside of studs through these holes.
HVAC Relay Wiring
The figure below is the top view of the eleven position screw terminal connector that
is plugged into each relay bank. Ensure all power from both the HVAC and
CLI-8000/8000A systems have been removed before making connections.
1. Remove connector from its mate on front panel.
2. Insert correct wire into front of plug using information in the table below.
3. Tighten screw so that wires are clamped inside the connector.
4. Reinsert into the proper relay bank.
5. Wire other side to HVAC system.
Option 2: Optional Brackets (Surface Mount)
1. Screw the mounting brackets to the right and left side of the CLI-8000 using (4)
10-32 x ⅜ inch FH machine screws.
2. The mounting brackets are 16 inch on center so the TPU can be screwed to two
adjacent studs. Locate two adjacent studs that are 16 inch on center.
3. Screw the TPU to the wall through the drywall and into the studs using
appropriate self tapping drywall screws or equivalent.
Connect Input Power
1. Remove the access panel by removing the screw holding down the access panel.
2. Locate the ½ inch electrical knockout just below access panel. Remove knockout
and install electrical clamp.
3. Connect the 24V AC from transformer to the two position screw terminal block
under the power input panel.
NOTE: Since there is no standard for wire colors in HVAC, the colors shown in table
are typical. Refer to manufacturers documentation to HVAC system before wiring.
NOTE: If required, RH and RC can be jumped together.
Remote Sensor Connections
Wiring diagram connecting the CLI-THFM1 sensor to the CLI-8000/8000A. Up to two
CLI-THFM1 sensors per zone.
Note: Use a minimum of 18 AWG wire when connecting the input power.
