Heat from the screen may be trapped

within the body of the Control by an

external top-down airflow source, such

as a ceiling fan.

The onboard thermistor may be biased

by this heat causing the displayed

indoor temperature to be elevated.

4. Installation

4.1 Location

The 824 is designed for installation in climate controlled living spaces. Place the unit in a central location with good circulation.

For proper temperature sensing, avoid exposing the 824 to heat radiated from lamps, sun light, ﬁreplaces or any other radiant heat source.

Avoid locations close to windows, behind doors or alcoves with poor air circulation, adjoining outside walls, or doors that lead to the outside.

Select a location that prevents the 824 from being directly exposed to air currents from supply registers or ceiling fans.

Mount the Control on a section of interior wall that does not contain hot or cold water pipes or duct work.

Important: The 824 Control utilizes a 4.3” color touch screen. This screen generates heat which is vented out the top of the Control utilizing natural convection. If an air source is directed at or from above, heat from the screen can be trapped within the Control and can cause the indoor temperature to be biased. (Refer to Figure 1 on page 4.)

4.2 Network Connections

To take advantage of the full range of features on the 824 Control, it should be connected to the Internet. This is possible using either a wireless or a wired connection.

Wireless Connections

If the 824 Control will be connected to the Internet using the built-in wireless feature, choose a mounting location that ensures adequate signal strength from the Internet router.

Tips to Help Maximize Signal Strength:

— Do not mount the Control more than 30 feet from the

wireless router

— There should be no more than three interior walls

between the Control and the router.

— Do not mount the Control in areas where

electromagnetic emissions from other devices, appliances or wiring can interfere with the Control’s communication. (i.e. wireless phones, security systems, wireless Internet cameras).

— Do not mount the Control in recessed areas,

near metal objects, or near structures. (i.e. doors, appliances, entertainment centers or shelving units).

— Do not mount the Control closer than 2 inches to any

pipes, duct work, or other metal obstructions.

— Do not have metal obstructions, concrete or brick

walls between the Control and the router.

Refer to the 824 User Guide for additional information on connecting the 824 to the Internet.

Wired Connections

The 824 Control may be connected to the Internet using its built-in RJ-45 connector. When using a wired connection, verify that a CAT 5 or better Ethernet cable with a male RJ-45 connector is present from the router to the Control.

4.3 Mounting

Follow these steps to mount the 824 Control to the wall.

1. Turn OFF all power to heating and cooling equipment.

2. If an existing thermostat is being replaced:

a. Remove the existing thermostat from the wall.

b. Record color and terminal marking of each wire.

c. Disconnect the wires from the existing thermostat

being careful not to allow them to fall back into the wall.

3. Carefully pry the Sub-base away from the 824 Control using a small ﬂat-blade screwdriver. Note that the tight ﬁt is normal and ensures that the Control is held securely to the Sub-base when mounted on the wall.

4. Route the wires through the opening on the Sub-base.

5. If using a wired Internet connection, route the Ethernet cable through the opening.

The onboard thermistor may be biased

by this heat causing the displayed

indoor temperature to be elevated.

6. Place the Sub-base against the wall in the desired location and mark the wall through the mounting holes. If you are using a wired Internet connection, be sure to mark the cutout for the RJ-45 connector (see Figure 2 on page 5).

7. Drill the holes in the wall where marked.

If you are using a wireless Internet connection, skip to step 9.

8. When using a wired Ethernet connection, follow these step and refer to Figure 3 on page 5.

a. With the Sub-base and RJ-45 holder oriented as

shown, press the holder into the Sub-base.

b. Slide the holder to the right so it snaps in place.

c. Secure the holder with the provided screw.

d. Insert the RJ-45 Connector into the RJ-45

holder until it snaps into place.

9. Mount the Sub-base to the wall using included mounting screws and drywall anchors. An optional mounting hole is available for more secure mounting, if needed. Make sure all wires extend through the hole in the Sub-base see Figure 4 on page 5.

4.4 Wiring

1. Adjust the length and position of each wire to reach the proper terminal on the connector block of the Sub-base. Strip 1/4” of insulation from each wire. Do not allow adjacent wires to short together when connected.

2. Match and connect control wires to the proper terminals on the connector block. Refer to Field Wiring Diagrams included in this document.

3. Push excess wire back into the wall and seal the hole to prevent air leaks. NOTE: Air Leaks in the wall

Installation Guide

5. System Setup

5.1 Power-Up Sequence

When the 824 Control is connected to the Sub-base, the Control initiates a 90-120 second power-up sequence. During the power-up sequence, the Screen Calibration option is available for ﬁve seconds (Screen Calibration is available for ﬁve minutes if the screen has never been calibrated and following a Restore Factory Defaults command).

If the screen is not pressed within ﬁve minutes, the Control will default to previously stored Screen Calibration settings. The 824 Control is factory calibrated and can be recalibrated at any time by rebooting the Control.

Note: Temperature display may be inaccurate until the 824 Control acclimates to ambient room conditions, which may take up to one hour.

5.2 Guided Setup Wizards

The 824 Control features two Setup Wizards, the Installation Wizard and the User Setup Wizard. The Installation Wizard guides installers through the installation and conﬁguration process, and the User Setup Wizard guides Homeowners through user-conﬁgurable settings.

Installation Wizard

The Installation Wizard appears when 1) the 824 Control is powered on for the ﬁrst time, 2) when the Restore Factory Defaults function is invoked (Home>Menu>Service> Technician Access>Proceed>Restore Factory Defaults), and 3) when it is selected directly (Home>Menu>Service> Technician Access>Proceed>Installation Wizard).

By following the navigational steps and screen prompts, installers are guided through the Time and Date screens, Installer Setup screens (see “5.4 Installer Setup Screens” on page 27 for detailed descriptions of each of the Installer Setup Screens), Reminders screens and the Dealer Code conﬁguration screens. Each of these menus can be individually accessed after completing the Installation Wizard.

User Setup Wizard

The User Setup Wizard is accessed navigating to Home>Menu>Settings>User Setup Wizard. By following the navigational steps and screen prompts, homeowners are guided through the Display, Schedules, Guided Schedule, Network, Nexia and Weather conﬁguration screens. Each of these menus may also be accessed individually. Refer to the User Guide for detailed information on user settings.

5.3 Smart Optimization

The 824 Control is equipped with Smart Optimization. By executing a series of blower and active call on/off tests, Smart Optimization will customize the 824 Control to each unique environment and increase the accuracy of the sensed indoor temperature and overall system performance.

Smart Optimization is enabled by default and will automatically execute approximately 18 hours after initial power up. Smart Optimization takes 90 minutes to complete and during the process, heating and cooling operations are disabled. The screen will indicate that the 824 Control is in Smart Optimization mode.

To delay Smart Optimization for an additional 18 hours, touch the 824 Control Screen and hold for ﬁve seconds.

To disable Smart Optimization altogether, navigate to Home>Smart Optimization and select Disable and press Apply.

To enable Smart Optimization, navigate to Home>Smart Optimization and select Enable and press Apply. Smart Optimization will execute in approximately 18 hours.

To manually trigger Smart Optimization, ﬁrst disable, then re-enable the feature.

6. Basic Operation

6.1 PI Control

The 824 Control uses proprietary control schemes to provide comfort and energy efﬁciency. The Control senses indoor temperature and determines capacity needed based on the following parameters:

• Mode of operation

• Proportional Error - distance from setpoint

• Integral Error - Time away from setpoint

Temperature

6.2 Load Value - Heating

The 824 Control uses proportional plus integral error to determine the amount of capacity required. The calculated capacity is displayed as load value. Load Value is a numerical representation of the needed capacity to maintain setpoint. The load value range is dependent on the applied system.

6.3 Load Value - Cooling

0-100 Single Stage Compressor

0-200 Two-Stage Compressor

A Load Value of 50 represents a request of 50% demand for single stage cooling units (“Y”) or 50% demand for stage one of multistage cooling units (“Y1”).

A Load Value of 150 represents a request of 100% demand for stage one (“Y1”) and 50% demand of stage two (“Y2”) for multistage cooling units.

6.4 Duty Cycles

Indoor temperature control is achieved by duty cycling the equipment when the load value is less than 100% of the current stage of operation. The duty cycle rate is dependent on the calculated load value.

The duty cycle chart below indicates the number of cycles at 50% load (i.e. LV = 50).

6 CPH

2 CPH

1 Hour

As with all PI-based controls the indoor temperature will ﬂuctuate above and below the user selected setpoint to maintain comfort in the space. Adjusting the factory set CPH (Cycles per Hour) can affect how tight the Control operates around the setpoint. The CPH can be adjusted in the Installer Setup>Equipment Settings (2 – 6 CPH)

• Factory default for compressor operation is 3 CPH

• Factory default for indoor heat is 5 CPH

Effects of changing the cycle rates

Lower CPH results in longer run cycles with less cycling but the indoor temperature may deviate above and below setpoint.

Higher CPH results in tighter indoor temperature control but shorter, more frequent cycles.

6.5 Overshoot Clamp

The 824 Control will enforce an “off cycle” anytime the control overshoots more than 2.5°F. Once the indoor temperature is within 0.75°F of setpoint an “on cycle” is allowed dependent on load value and minimum off times.

6.6 Stage Thresholds

The threshold to allow operation is a Load Value greater than 5 and operation is always terminated with a Load Value less than 1.

Load Value also determines when additional stages of operation are requested. To prevent rapid cycling between stages, a stage threshold is enforced. The stage threshold is dependent on the applied system.

6.7 Stage Inhibits

When the stage threshold is exceeded, a stage inhibit is applied. The stage inhibit calculates the rate of recovery over a 10-minute period and determines if the next stage is required to meet the current demand. If the rate of recovery is great enough, a new 10-minute inhibit is enabled. The Control will not go to the next stage of operation until it determines that the current stage cannot satisfy the current demand. Stage inhibits only apply between compressor stages and compressor heat to indoor heat. Stage inhibits do not apply to indoor heat stages.

Stage inhibits can be disabled in the 824 Control Installer Setup>Comfort Settings.

The 824 has (5) System Modes which can be selected… Heating, Cooling, Off, Emergency Heat and Auto.

• Heating – System will only operate in heating mode

• Cooling – System will only operate in the cooling mode

• Off – System will not operate in heating or cooling mode

• Emergency Heating – System will operate the indoor heat source only (this is only available when the outdoor unit type is a heat pump)

• Auto - The Control will determine which mode of operation based on the following rules:

• Heating - Indoor temperature is equal or less than

heating setpoint

• Cooling – Indoor temperature is equal to or greater

than cooling setpoint or within 1°F of cooling setpoint

There is minimum deadband between heating and cooling setpoints of 3°F

6.8 Fan Mode

7. Advanced Operation

7.1 Control Response Rate

Allows the user to select a set of higher proportionalintegral control constants to increase the responsiveness of the Control. Selecting “Fast” will cause the Control to generate load value at a faster rate. Control Response rate can be adjusted in Installer Setup>Comfort Settings.

7.2 Dehumidiﬁcation

The 824 utilizes the following methods for dehumidiﬁcation:

• Air ﬂow reduction (applies only to variable speed blowers) – If BK is connected, the 824 can reduce the system air ﬂow by 30% anytime the indoor RH is higher than the cooling RH target. Air ﬂow reduction is disallowed if the indoor temperature is more than 2°F above the cooling setpoint. Dehumidiﬁcation is factory enabled in the Installer Setup>Comfort Settings.

All “Fan Off” delays are also defeated when dehumidiﬁcation is enabled and the indoor RH exceeds the cooling RH target.

• Overcooling (applies to variable speed and nonvariable speed blowers) - If overcooling is enabled, the Control will allow a 0.1°F of overcooling for each 1% of RH error. A maximum amount of overcooling can be conﬁgured for 1°, 2° or 3°F.

824 Control is in Cooling mode or Auto mode and the last call was cooling.

If Stand Alone Operation is selected, the 824 Control allows the user to select whether the indoor fan operates with dehumidiﬁer request.

• With Active Call for Cooling Only – Dehumidiﬁer can only operate during an active call for cooling.

All dehumidiﬁer control options are located in the Installer Setup>Accessories Settings.

7.4 Dual Fuel Operation

The 824 can control a dual fuel system without the need of an external dual fuel kit. An Outdoor Temperature Sensor must be installed and enabled for Restricted Modes to be available. The 824 Control options are:

• Non Restricted Mode – The Control will determine which mode of heat will operate to maintain comfort based on the calculated system load value. With a load value in compressor heating range the heat pump will operate and if the load value climbs to auxiliary heat range, the heat pump will cycle off and the auxiliary heat source will cycle on. Once the load value falls below the auxiliary heat range, the auxiliary heat will cycle off, and the heat pump will cycle back on.

Installation Guide

• Restricted Mode (compressor heat only) – Once enabled an outdoor temperature lockout can be set to disable compressor heating operation. When the outdoor temperature falls below the compressor heat lockout the system will operate on auxiliary heat source only. At any temperature above the compressor heat lockout the system will operate the same as non-restricted mode, heat pump or auxiliary heat would be allowed based on system load value. Once the compressor heat is locked out, the outdoor temperature must rise at least 4° above the compressor heat lockout setting before allowing compressor heat again.

• Restricted Mode (compressor and auxiliary heat) – Once enabled an outdoor temperature lockout can be set to disable compressor heating below and disallow auxiliary heat operation above. When the outdoor temperature is above the auxiliary heat lockout, only compressor heat is allowed. When the outdoor temperature falls below the compressor heat lockout, only auxiliary heat is allowed. When the outdoor temperature is between the compressor heat lockout and auxiliary heat lockout the system will operate the same as non-restricted mode, heat pump or auxiliary heat is allowed based on system load value. There is a 10° minimum dead band between the compressor heat lockout and auxiliary heat lockout. Once the compressor heat or auxiliary heat is locked out, the outdoor temperature must rise or fall at least 4° above or below the lockout setting before allowing compressor or auxiliary heat again.

7.6 Humidiﬁer Operation

The 824 has the ability to control a humidiﬁer through the normally open dry AUX Contacts on the Control Sub-base. Humidiﬁcation is only enabled while in heating mode of operation. Control options are:

• RH Control – Dry contacts are closed anytime the indoor humidity is less than the heating target relative humidity.

• Frost Control – The 824 Control references the outdoor temperature and structure integrity to offset the heating target relative humidity. This helps to limit the risk of frost or condensation from forming on interior walls and windows. A scale of 1 to 10 is provided based on the insulation properties and expected leakage of the home (1=Leaky with poor insulation, 10=Very Tight with good insulation). An outdoor temperature sensor must be connected and enabled for frost control to be available.

Frost Control Structure Integrity Scale

the outdoor temperature exceeds the minimum or maximum outdoor temperature selections. If outdoor temperature overrides are enabled the user can select to accumulate the missed ventilation run time. Options are below:

• Accumulate missed ventilation run time in 4 hour increments and make up when the outdoor temperature is within the min/max settings.

• Accumulate missed ventilation run time in 24 hour increments and make up when the outdoor temperature is within the min/max settings

• Accumulate missed ventilation run time in 4 hour increments and make up at the end of 4 hour period.

• Accumulate missed ventilation run time in 24 hour increments and make up at the end of 24 hour period.

All Ventilation control options are located in the Installer Setup>Accessories Settings.

7.9 Warm Air Discharge

Enabling Warm Air Discharge with BK connected will reduce the variable speed blower air ﬂow by 20% when in compressor heating operation. Warm Air Discharge only applies to compressor heating and is disabled when hydronic, fossil fuel or electric heat (including supplemental heat) modes are activated. Warm Air Discharge can be enabled in Installer Setup>Comfort Settings.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Leaky, Poor Insulation Average Good Insulation, Tight

The 824 Control can be setup to allow humidiﬁcation anytime in heating mode or only when actively heating. The airﬂow during Humidiﬁer-only is factory set to 100% but can be adjusted between 35%-100% (this requires a variable speed indoor blower with BK connected). All humidiﬁer control options are located in the Installer Setup>Accessories Settings.

7.7 Recovery

The 824 control utilizes a Stage Inhibit to limit equipment staging. This inhibit can be defeated in the following two manners.

7.7.1 Aggressive Recovery

Disables stage inhibits in heating and cooling mode anytime the setpoint is adjusted more than 2°F

7.7.2 Heating Aggressive Recovery

Disable stage inhibit in heating mode only when the outdoor temperature falls below the selected outdoor temperature

7.10 Wet Heat (Hydronic) Operation

A hot water coil can be applied to either a variable speed or non-variable speed indoor unit. The hot water coil can be the sole source of heat or used as auxiliary heat when applied with a heat pump. When applied with a heat pump, wet heat is considered auxiliary heat and will operate inconjunction with heat pump heat. Switching the system mode to emergency heat would disable the heat pump and cycle the wet heat only.

If applied with a variable speed air handler with BK connected, the blower speed during wet heat only heating will vary based on the system load value. The airﬂow will range from 35% to 100% depending on the system load value. When applied with a heat pump, the blower speed during heat pump and wet heat operation will be the higher of the two air ﬂows. There are separate blower “On” and “Off” delays for wet heat in the 824 Control.

The 824 Control is designed to operate forced air systems and should not be applied to non-forced air systems (radiant ﬂoors, radiators, etc…)

The hydronic heat blower delay options can be accessed by navigating to Installer > Setup > Airﬂow Settings.

7.8 Ventilation Operation

The 824 has the ability to control a Ventilation system through the normally open dry AUX Contacts on the 824 Control Sub-base. The blower is not interlocked on a call for ventilation. The ventilation run time per hour can be adjusted to meet ASHRAE 62.2 standards. A temperature override can be set to prevent ventilation operation when
