• When a button is pressed, the button turns green and the programmed feature activates.
• Pressing the button while it is green deactivates the programmed feature.
• In some cases, the installer may have disabled a button. In this case, when the button is pressed,
the button will not turn green.
• Each button can be programmed to activate or deactivate a Scene or a Setpoint Control. Scenes
and Setpoint Controls will be discussed in upcoming sections.

Scenes
Scenes are system overrides. By changing the scene of
the tN4 system, all thermostats and setpoint controls with
scenes turned on are affected.
The button is green when the active scene on the tN4 system
and the programmed setting of the button are the same.
When there are no buttons programmed to the same scene
as the active scene, none of the buttons will be green.
Some scenes are permanent while others are temporary
and last for either 3, 4, or 8 hours. When a temporary scene
expires, the tN4 system returns back to the last permanent
scene. See the “Duration” column in the table to determine
the length of time the scene lasts.

When a button is green, and the button is pressed a
second time, it cancels the current scene. For permanent
scenes, the tN4 system returns to the “Normal” scene. For
temporary scenes, the tN4 system returns to the previous
permanent scene.
There are a total of 8 possible scenes available on the tN4
system. Each user switch can activate up to 3 scenes. In
order to be able to have all 8 scenes, multiple user switches
are required.
