Touch Panel Interface
Standard Thermostat Panel
About thermostats
Thermostats are devices that measure the air temperature and humidity in the room where they are installed. Even
if you have a Touch Panel Interface in a room instead of a standard thermostat panel, there will be a thermostat
installed invisibly in the room to take temperature and humidity measurements.
In the Climate Cŏntrol™ Network System, there will often be one thermostat installed per room, which facilitates
better comfort control on a room by room basis. The Touch Panel Interface allows you to view the measurements
and settings for each of these thermostats and name them for the rooms in your home. See Change a thermostat
description.
10
You can look at information and make adjustments to thermostats in three different ways:
By viewing the thermostat through a Touch Panel Interface.
By using the standard thermostat panel in a room.
By logging into the Climate Cŏntrol™ Network System using a computer on your home network.
Whichever of the three methods you use, you can set the temperature in several ways:
You can adjust the temperature in a room at any time. See Change the room temperature.
Using Normal and Setback setpoints and Schedules, you can specify a comfortable temperature on a room by
room basis for times when you are at home, and another temperature for when you are away from home or at
times when everyone is sleeping. See Change thermostat setpoints and About schedules.
Using Minimum and Maximum setpoints, you can define a range of temperatures that restrict the Normal and
Setback setpoints.
Using Schedules, you can specify whether to use Normal setpoints or Setback setpoints at different times of
the day. See About schedules.
Using the Vacation Calendar, you can specify dates when you plan to be away from home and have the
entire Climate Cŏntrol™ Network System use Setback settings. See About the vacation calendar.
When the rooms in your home are divided into air zones, and several thermostats are contained within an air zone,
you can use the Primary Thermostat feature to change the temperature at one thermostat and have it affect all
the rooms within the air zone. When you use your home computer or a Touch Panel Interface to change the
temperature on a thermostat, the system prompts you to choose whether or not you want to make the current
thermostat the primary thermostat for that air zone. When you change the temperature on a standard thermostat
panel, the Climate Cŏntrol™ Network System automatically makes that thermostat the primary thermostat for that
air zone. See About air zones and Make a thermostat the primary thermostat for an air zone.
You can also globally change the mode for all the thermostats in your system. See Adjust the mode for all
thermostats. If your home does not have any equipment that requires an air zone, then your comfort levels are
probably controlled exclusively through radiant floor heating. In this case, each thermostat controls the temperature
in the room where it is installed.
11
View the list of thermostats
On the "home" screen, on the Thermostat List tab, you can view a list of all the thermostats in your home.
To view the list of thermostats:
1. Click the button. The list of thermostats is displayed in alphanumeric order by thermostat description
(name).
12
Change the room temperature
You can use the thermostat to raise or lower the temperature in the room. When the thermostat is the primary, and
you have equipment like furnaces and air conditioners installed, the Climate Cŏntrol™ Network System will run
appropriate equipment to meet and keep the setpoint in that room. The amount of heating or cooling delivered will
be the same for all the rooms in the air zone.
If you have radiant floors installed, they will always respond to the temperature setting of the room they are in, so
although the air systems may be serving a room according to the temperature settings of the primary thermostat,
the radiant floors will always be working to achieve the air temperature setpoint of the room they are in.
To set the room temperature:
1. Click the button.
2. Click a thermostat.
3. Click the or buttons to change the temperature.
When you adjust the temperature, the Touch Panel Interface initially displays the current setpoint in use (heat
Normal or Setback, cool Normal or Setback). This is the setpoint that will be adjusted. Whether the thermostat is
using heat or cool setpoints is determined by the mode of the air zone. Whether the thermostat is using Normal or
Setback setpoints is determined by schedule time blocks or vacation calendar settings (when the whole system will
use Setback setpoints.) Once you have finished adjusting the temperature, the Touch Panel Interface display
reverts to the current temperature.
If you use your home computer or a Touch Panel Interface to change the temperature when the system is in
vacation mode, the system will not automatically come out of vacation mode. However, if you change the
temperature at a standard thermostat panel in a room, the system will automatically come out of the vacation mode
for 4 hours and use the non-vacation settings. See About the vacation calendar.
Note: The thermostat cannot be adjusted outside the range set by the minimum and maximum setpoints. To adjust
the temperature lower than the minimum or higher than the maximum, you must change the minimum and
maximum setpoints first. When you change the temperature on the thermostat, you might not notice an immediate
difference, particularly if you are heating the room with radiant flooring.
13
View active equipment
When you adjust the temperature of a thermostat, the system operates the available equipment to give you the
desired temperature. On the Touch Panel Interface, you can see which pieces of equipment are currently active or
inactive, as well as which setpoints and mode are in effect for each thermostat.
To view equipment that is active right now:
4. Click the button.
5. Click a thermostat. The Active Right Now tab is displayed.
If the thermostat has reached the setpoint, some equipment might appear to be inactive. For example, if the
thermostat is in Normal heat mode with the heat setpoint set to 73°F (by 0.5°F for radiant floor heating, or 1°F for
air heating), equipment will appear active until the setpoint is reached.
When the thermostat senses that the air temperature has reached 73°F, equipment such as radiant floors will then
appear to be inactive.
When the temperature drops below 73°F, the equipment will appear active again, until the setpoint has been
reached.
14
View installed equipment
When you adjust the temperature of a thermostat, the system adjusts the available equipment to give you the
desired temperature. On the Touch Panel Interface, you can see which pieces of equipment are currently active for
each thermostat.
You can also see a list of all the equipment installed with your system. This can be especially helpful for owners of
new systems, or if you have purchased a home with the system installed, and you need to know what equipment is
available to affect comfort levels controlled by the Climate Cŏntrol™ Network System.
To view equipment that is installed:
1. Click the button.
2. Click a thermostat.
3. Click the Equipment Installed tab.
15
Change the heat or cool mode for all thermostats
Generally it is best to use Auto Mode to control the temperature for all the thermostats in the home. In Auto
Mode, the system uses the thermostat schedules to efficiently control the temperature. However, if the home is too
cool or too warm, you can select Heat Mode or Cool Mode to adjust the temperature. You can also choose to turn
off the heating and cooling equipment by selecting Off.
When you change the mode, if the mode is not supported for a thermostat, the thermostat is turned off.
To change the mode for all thermostats:
1. Click the button.
2. Click a thermostat.
3. Click the Mode Settings tab.
4. Click the radio button next to mode you want to use.
5. Click the Apply to all thermostats button.
Note: This Mode Settings tab only appears for systems that do not contain air zones. If your system includes one
or more air zones, see Change the heat or cool mode.
16
Change thermostat setpoints
Thermostats provide heating and cooling based on Normal and Setback setpoints. Setpoints are set for both heat
and cool modes and have Minimum and Maximum limits defined.
Normal setpoints are typically used to keep rooms at a comfortable temperature when you are in the home.
Setback setpoints conserve energy when you are sleeping, away from the home, or not using a particular
area of your home.
Minimum and Maximum setpoints provide a range of temperatures. Normal and Setback setpoints cannot
be set outside the Minimum/Maximum range.
Tip: Radiant floor systems take a little longer to reach their setpoints. If you create a Setback setting for your floors
that is quite different from your Normal setting and do not allow enough time for your floors to adjust, when you
switch to Normal settings you may experience a time during the changeover when you do not have the room
temperature you would like. Use the schedule to allow ample time for your floors to be restored to Normal setpoints
so that the room you are in will be comfortable when you get up in the morning for example.
To change the thermostat Normal setpoints:
1. Click the button.
2. Click a thermostat.
3. Click the Thermostat Setpoints button. The Normal Setpoints tab is displayed.
4. Click the or buttons to change the Normal setpoints.
To change the thermostat Setback setpoints:
1. Click the button.
2. Click a thermostat.
3. Click the Thermostat Setpoints button.
4. Click the Setback Setpoints tab.
5. Click the or buttons to change the Setback setpoints.
17
To change the thermostat Minimum and Maximum setpoints:
1. Click the button.
2. Click a thermostat.
3. Click the Thermostat Setpoints button.
4. Click the Min/Max Setpoints tab.
5. Click the or buttons to change the Minimum and Maximum setpoints.
18
Make a thermostat the primary thermostat for an air zone
When you have air zones in your home, the primary thermostat temperature readings and setpoints are used to
adjust equipment to reach and hold the setpoint temperature of the room where the current primary thermostat is
located. This means that all the rooms in that air zone will be heated or cooled at the same time regardless of the
settings or temperature in each individual room.
To see all the rooms (thermostats) contained in an air zone:
1. Click the Air Zone tab.
To see which thermostat is the primary in an air zone:
1. Review the primary icons on the Air Zone Thermostat list, or the Primary Settings tab on any thermostat
within the air zone you are interested in.
There are two ways to make a thermostat the primary for an air zone:
Through any Touch Panel Interface: When you adjust the current setpoint of a thermostat on the
Thermostat screen, if that thermostat is not currently the primary, the system will ask if you want to make it
the primary for the air zone. If you choose Yes, that thermostat will be made the primary. If you choose No,
the setpoint will be changed but that thermostat will not be made the primary.
Through a standard thermostat panel: Make an adjustment on a standard thermostat panel in a room in an
air zone. If you make any adjustment to a thermostat in a room in an air zone, it will automatically make that
thermostat (room) the primary for that air zone.
In some cases you may want a thermostat to never be the primary. For example, in a child's room you might set
the thermostat to never be the primary.
To set a thermostat as the primary thermostat for a zone:
1. Click the button.
2. Click a thermostat.
19
3. Click the Thermostat Properties button. The Primary Setting tab is displayed.
4. If the thermostat is set to Not the Primary Right Now, click the Yes button next to Make this thermostat
the primary to control this Zone.
If the thermostat is set to Never Primary, click the Yes button next to Allow this thermostat to be the
primary of this Zone, and then click the Yes button next to Make this thermostat the primary to control
this Zone.
To set a thermostat to never be the primary:
1. Click the button.
2. Click a thermostat.
3. Click the Thermostat Properties button. The Primary Setting tab is displayed.
4. If the thermostat is set to Allowed to be Primary, click the Yes button next to Set this thermostat to
never be the primary of this Zone.

About air zones
A Climate Cŏntrol™ Network System generally contains one or more air zones, based on
the types of heating, cooling, ventilation, and other equipment installed in your home. For
example, if your home uses forced air heating, all the rooms affected by the furnace are
included in a single air zone. This means that you can conveniently and easily adjust the
temperature and other settings for all the rooms in the zone. See Change the room
temperature.
Your system may have several thermostats within an air zone. If so, one thermostat is considered the primary
thermostat, and it controls the temperature in all the rooms in the zone.
You can select which thermostat is primary based on rooms where you spend the most time. For example, if you
spend much of your time in the morning in the kitchen, you might want to set the thermostat in the kitchen as your
primary thermostat. But in the evening, when you move into the lounge, you might want to set that thermostat as
the primary.
You can also choose to make some thermostats never the primary thermostat. For example, you might not want a
child to adjust the room temperature, and so you would set the thermostat in the child's room to never be the
primary. See Make a thermostat the primary thermostat for an air zone.
You can also adjust the fan and ventilation settings, change the heat or cool mode, the relative humidity, and the
zone description. See Use fan and ventilation settings, Set relative humidity, and Change a zone description.
Note: The Air Zones tab and all related Air Zone features only appear for systems that contain air zones. Some
systems do not contain air zones.
26
View the thermostats in a zone
There are two ways to view thermostats in a zone. You can either view an air zone and see the list of attached
thermostats, or view a thermostat and go to its zone directly.
To see which thermostats are in an air zone:
1. Click the button.
2. Click the Air Zones tab.
To see which zone a thermostat is located in:
1. Click the button, and then click the thermostat.
2. Click the Go to Zone button. The Zone - Thermostats screen (Thermostat List tab) displays all the
thermostats in the air zone.
27
Change the heat or cool mode
This feature allows you to set the mode for all the thermostats in the air zone, or all the thermostats in your system
regardless of which air zone they are in.
Another option is to use Auto Mode to control the heating and cooling equipment. In Auto Mode, the system uses
the thermostat setpoints and temperatures to determine whether the system should be in heat or cool mode. At
your discretion, you can force the system into heat or cool mode. When the weather conditions permit you might
prefer to turn the system off. When the system is off, equipment will only respond to make adjustments if extreme
heat or cool temperatures are detected by the system. (These extreme temperatures are set during installation.)

About hot water tanks
Your system can include one or two hot water tanks. You can set the temperatures of
each hot water tank individually. If one tank is used primarily by children for example,
you can set the setpoint a little lower to avoid the risk of scalding.
Depending on your installation, the hot water tank might be set to automatically run a Legionella prevention cycle.
Legionella is a form of bacteria that can develop in hot water tanks. If the Legionella cycle is enabled, the system
periodically heats the water to over 158°F/70°C to kill any existing bacteria.
You can also set a hot water tank to allow the temperature to drop to 68°F/20°C if you use a schedule or the
vacation calendar.

About snow melt zones
A snow melt zone can prevent snow and ice forming on paths and driveways.
Depending on the size of your installation you might have one or more snow melt
zones. Each snow melt zone temperature is controlled by:
The Melt Target Temperature is the target temperature the zone will use to melt snow.
The Idle Target Temperature is the temperature at which the snow melt zone slab is kept generally. If you
set this target to a sub-freezing temperature, the slab heats and melts snow more quickly than if the zone
were turned off completely.
37
Change snow melt zone temperatures
You can set the Melt Target temperature to control the melting of snow in your snow melt zone. You can also set
the system to hold at the Idle Target temperature, which will help the system melt the snow more quickly.
To change the target temperature:
1. Click the button.
2. Click the Snow Melt tab.
3. Click a snow melt zone.
4. Click the or buttons to adjust the Melt Target or Idle Target temperature.

About other devices
Depending on the equipment installed in your system, the Touch Panel Interface might
control devices such as sprinklers and lights (functional devices) or sensors for other types
of devices (notification devices).
For functional devices, you can turn the device on or off, or run it according to a schedule. For example, if your
system includes sprinklers, you might set up the schedule to run the sprinklers every other day, or according to
local watering restrictions.
For notification devices, the contractor who installed your system created descriptions in the form of a question,
with an answering status to give you information about the device. For example, if your system includes a septic
tank with a sensor to gauge how full the tank is, the contractor would have entered a description of "Septic tank
full?" The answering status would be "Yes" or "No".
40

About schedules
Schedules are regularly used to control the equipment installed in your home. One or more
thermostats can share a schedule, but other equipment, such as hot water tanks and other
devices are each attached exclusively to a particular schedule.
By default, schedules use Setback setpoints to conserve energy. If you want the system to run on Normal setpoints
at certain times of the day, such as those times when you are at home, you must add time blocks to the schedule.
Time blocks on the schedule mean that Normal setpoints are used. At all other times, Setback setpoints are used.
On days that you want to use Normal setpoints, because you will be home, you can add override time blocks to the
schedule and add dates to the override calendar. For example, if the regular schedule keeps the temperature low
during the day, but you know you will be home on Friday, you could add an override time block to the schedule for
the hours you will be home, and add Friday's date to the override calendar to keep the temperature at normal levels
that day.
On override days set in the override calendar, all schedules use the override "day" time blocks, which can vary from
schedule to schedule. See Override a schedule.
The vacation calendar, however, sets all the equipment to use Setback setpoints for the entire day. See About the
vacation calendar.
45
Set up a schedule
To set up a schedule to control a thermostat, hot water tank, or other devices, find the schedule and then add time
blocks to define the times you want to use Normal setpoints. Normal setpoints keep rooms at a comfortable
temperature. Setback setpoints are used to conserve energy when you are away from the home or at night.
Override time blocks are used on days specified in the override calendar. If you know that you want to override
schedules on particular days, set those days in the override calendar, and add time blocks to the override "day" in
each schedule.
Note: If you use a schedule to control your hot water tank, the schedule controls whether the hot water tank is on
or off, rather than using Normal and Setback setpoints.
To find a schedule:
1. Click the button.
2. Click the Schedule Settings tab.
3. Click one of the following buttons:
Thermostat Schedules

Override a schedule
On days that you are at home when you would normally be away, you can override the regular time blocks for the
day in the schedule and use override time blocks. On days that are specified in the Override Calendar, any
schedules that include override time blocks, will use Normal setpoints during the override time blocks.
Tip: If you will be away from home, add dates to the Vacation Calendar so that the system will use Setback
setpoints to conserve energy. See About the vacation calendar.
To override a schedule:
1. On each schedule that you want to override, add time blocks for the times you want the override to be in
effect. See Add an override time block to a schedule.
2. On the Override Calendar, add dates when the override time blocks should be used. See Set dates on the
override calendar and Set recurring override dates.
49
Add an override time block to a schedule
On override days, for times that you want to use Normal setpoints, you need to add override time blocks to the
schedules you want to override. For example, if you want to use Normal air temperature setpoints for a thermostat
or air zone, so that the house is a comfortable temperature, you need to add time blocks to the schedule attached
to the thermostat or air zone.

About the vacation calendar
You can use the vacation calendar to run your system on Setback setpoints to conserve
energy when you are away from home. For example, if you will be away from home on
vacation for a week, you can add those dates in the vacation calendar, to use Setback
setpoints. No schedules are used when your system is on a vacation day.
You can add individual dates, a range of dates, recurring dates, and recurring weeks and days to the calendar, or
you can set the Climate Cŏntrol™ Network System to ignore the calendar and revert to using the regular schedules.
Note: Generally, Setback setpoints are set to lower temperatures and settings to conserve energy. However, if your
Climate Cŏntrol™ Network System is installed in a vacation property that is usually unoccupied, you can add dates
to the vacation calendar for days that the property will be occupied. You would also need to set the Normal
setpoints to lower temperatures, and the Setback setpoints to more comfortable temperatures.
Tip: It is recommended that you check the system date before you update the vacation calendar. See Adjust the
date.
