General Notes
1. When any change is made to a parameter, the value is automatically saved in memory when the next
parameter is selected or another page is opened.
2. Arrows auto-increment/decrement at higher speed when holding button for more than 0.5 second.
3. All objects related to humidity do not display on HMI when Controller is ordered without built-in humidity sensor.

There are 7 different schedule setting screens, one for each day of the week, titled accordingly. Each day can have different scheduled
events where the room controller is set to Occupied status or back to Unoccupied status and use the appropriate setpoints, back and
forth up to 3 times per day.
Screen title is identified by
day of the week (Sunday

The LUA settings include six generic parameters that do not have predefined values. These can be used to represent LUA script variables.
They are user configurable in their default state, but when they are assigned a value by a LUA script they become read only, and the
display colour of the parameter changes to red. These parameters are also modifiable through BACnet as Analog Values (AVs). These
parameters can be configured to receive information from ZigBee sensors.

ZigBee Pro PAN ID
Links specific Terminal Equipment Controllers to
specific ZigBee® Pro coordinators. For every Terminal Equipment
Controller reporting to a coordinator. Ensure set the SAME
channel value both on the coordinator and the Terminal Equipment
Controller(s).
Default value of 0 is NOT a valid PAN ID. The valid range of
available PAN ID is from 1 to 1000.
Range 1 to 500 for centralized networked applications using a
ZigBee® Pro Coordinator.
Range 501 to 1000 is for stand-alone applications where each
controller is its own coordinator for stand alone installation of
wireless door and window switches.
ZigBee channel
This parameter links specific Terminal Equipment Controllers to
specific ZigBee® Pro coordinators. For every Terminal Equipment
Controller reporting to a coordinator, ensure you set the SAME
channel value both on the coordinator and the Terminal Equipment
Controller(s).
Using channels 15 and 25 is recommended.
The default value of 10 is NOT a valid channel. The valid range of
available channel is from 11 to 25.
