Installation

As with any project undertaken, careful installation is the key to a successful outcome.
Time taken during this installation process will be rewarded with a happy customer and
fewer call-backs.

The steps required to install the TZT-100 thermostat are -

1. Read and understand this manual and the User manual.

2. Mount the TZT-100 back plate in a suitable location.
3. Set the 8 DIP switches to match the need of the project / user.
4. Wire the optional remote temperature sensor(s) or switches if required.
5. Power up the air conditioning system.
6. Set the installer software options (if required).
7. Program and set up the TZT-100 thermostat.
(The User Manual will assist with this).
8. Test the heating, cooling, and other functions – Commissioning.

For convenience the layout of this manual is in the same order as the steps listed above.

Mounting the TZT-100 thermostat.
The TZT-100 can only be as accurate as the onboard temperature sensor, or its optional
remote temperature sensor(s) permit. It is therefore essential that the TZT-100 be
installed in a location that is typical of the ambient room temperature. Do not install the
thermostat in a draft, near a floor, behind doors or on a non-insulated external wall. Also
avoid placing the thermostat in areas where the air movement is limited, affected by
direct sunlight or other areas not “typical” of the temperature of the room.

Further, when mounting the TZT-100 be aware that drafts

may travel down the inside of cavity walls, (especially if
mounted on external walls) and enter the back of
the thermostat or sensor enclosure through the
cable entry holes in the wall. It is important to fully
seal these holes to prevent any drafts affecting the
internally mounted temperature sensor. It is
recommended to mount the TZT-100 or remote sensors between
1.5 & 1.7 metres from the floor where possible.

Move the control wires through the large opening in the thermostat base plate then
place the thermostat base on the wall and using appropriate screws, firmly attach the
thermostat base to the wall. Block any holes where cables enter the back of the
thermostat to prevent drafts entering through these holes affecting the sensor.

Typical drawings have been provided on page 12 of this manual that will
assist with the selection of the correct positions for these function switches.

6|Page
Switch 1 – Relay Assignment
The TZT-100 is fitted with 5 relays capable of switching up to 24VAC @ 1Amp each. Switch
1 sets the function of these relays as either 3 fan speeds with 1 heat and 1 cool operation
or single fan speed with 2 heat and 2 cool, in either HP (heat pump / reverse cycle) or HC
(heat with add on cool) mode.

Switch 2 – Equipment Type.

Both heat with add on cool, or heat pump types of systems can be controlled by the TZT-
100 thermostat.
Heat Cool System uses the “W” terminal(s) only for heating and the “Y” terminal(s) only
for cooling.
Heat Pump systems use the “Y” terminal(s) for BOTH heating and cooling (the
compressor). The “W1” terminal controls the reversing valve which determines the
heating or cooling mode.

Switch 3 – Equipment Stages.

When it is necessary to control a single stage A/C system fitted with auxiliary heating
elements, turn Sw3 OFF thereby selecting single stage mode. Heating elements
controlled by the W2 output are now assigned as stage 2 heat.

Switch 4 – Reversing Valve or Fan mode

Regardless of the other switch positions, this switch should normally be left in the factory
default ON position for all temperzone units.

7|Page
Switch 5 – Anti-Rapid Cycle Timer
temperzone recommends that this switch be left in the ON position. This means that the
thermostat’s Anti-Rapid Cycle Timer is in use. The TZT-100 timer will work in parallel with
the Anti-Rapid Cycle Timer in the Heat Pump’s internal controls. Leaving “Switch 5” ON
will provide the user with feedback as to the equipment status.
Note: When power is first applied to the TZT-100, it “assumes” that the compressor has
just stopped and applies this Anti-Rapid Cycle delay time before starting. This may hold
off the indoor fan also.

Switch 6 – Thermostat Operation

To suit the varying requirements of the user, the TZT-100 can be set as a “Programmable”
thermostat using the time clock to automatically control the building temperature to a
programmed temperature profile or to the very simple to operate, “Manual” mode
where the user turns the thermostat on or off and adjusts the temperature set point
manually.

Switch 7 – Minimum Run Time

To conserve energy and protect the A/C system, it is recommended that each time the
compressor starts it runs for a minimum period of time. This ensures oil return for
lubrication purposes. “Switch 7” enables you to select a minimum run time of 2 or 6
minutes. Once heat or cool cycle has started it must continue for this minimum period.
The LCD will flash the word “Heating” or “Cooling” whenever this timer is holding Heating
or Cooling on past set point, or when the user has changed mode etc.

8|Page
Switch 8 – Thermostat Control Logic.
This switch has two functions based on the position of “Switch 6”.
When the TZT-100 is set as a programmable thermostat, “Switch 8” determines whether
a commercial or residential program is selected. When “Switch 6” has the TZT-100 set as
a non-programmable thermostat, “Switch 8” then selects between single set point mode
(imitating a simple mechanical thermostats operation), or separate heating and cooling
set points. “Two set point” mode also permits the user to select a separate day and night
set point if desired.

TT Terminal Functions

The TZT-100 is fitted with a set of terminals marked “TT”. Details of the “TT” terminals
functionality is provided below. See the advanced installer setting menu on page 25 of
this manual for setting the function of this set of terminals. The wiring used in the
following examples are not polarity dependent and do not normally require screened
cable for short runs (less than 10 metres). With longer cable runs, or where there is
electrical noise present, can benefit from the use of screened cable, earthed at one.

Please Note - The TZT-100 can use multiple sensors if required. Drawings
showing these various configurations are shown on page 34 of this manual.

9|Page
 Outside Air Sensor Wiring
Set “TT= OA” in the advanced installer menu.
The TZT-100 can display the outside air
temperature if desired. Some
advanced control functions such as
high and low balance points rely on
this sensor to be fitted for correct
operation. Using a single pair of wires
connect the “TT” terminals in the TZT-100 to the two terminals in the
outside air temperature sensor. (See Figure 1). If the outside air sensor
fails two dashes will be shown on the LCD where the outside air
temperature would normally be displayed to alert you of the problem.

Remote Room Temperature Sensor Wiring

Set “TT= RS” in the advanced installer
menu. (Default) When you wish to
measure the temperature from a
location distant from the TZT-100,
simply connect a remote temperature
sensor to the “TT” terminals in the
TZT-100 controller. This will automatically disable the air temperature
sensor fitted inside the TZT-100 and use the remote temperature
sensor(s) to control the room temperature (See Figure 1 above). Should
10 | P a g e
you wish, you can easily switch the remote temperature sensor on and
off, thereby switching temperature sensing locations between the
remote sensor and the TZT-100 internal temperature sensor. Simply fit
an inline switch in the sensor wiring. (See Figure 2.)

11 | P a g e
Averaging Temperature Sensors
Set “TT= AV” in the advanced installer menu.
If required, the TZT-100 can average the sensed temperature, between the remote
temperature sensor(s) and the one fitted to the TZT-100. (See Figure 1 on the previous
page for details on wiring the sensor.) The TZT-100 will auto-detect this sensor and
automatically average the two sensor values to control the room temperature.

Remote ON / OFF Function

Set “TT= OF” in the advanced installer menu.
Figure 3
The TZT-100 can be connected to an external dry contact.

When this contact is closed the TZT-100 will turn OFF. (See Figure 3.) When the TZT-100
has been switched OFF via the “TT” terminals the word “OFF” will flash in the LCD to
indicate that this has been the shutdown method. The TZT-100 will return to the user
settings when this switch is open.

Using the “Occupancy Mode”

Set “TT= OC” in the advanced installer menu.
The TZT-100 can alternate between the user preferred set points and an installer pre-
programmed set point when required. Simply wire a remote switch to the TZT-100 “TT”
terminals (See Figure 3). When the switch is open the user settings will control the room
temperature. When the switch is closed the Installer “Oc” (Occupied Cooling value) &
“Oh” (Occupied Heating value) settings will be used to control the room temperature.

12 | P a g e
Supply Air Temperature Monitoring
Set “TT= DA” in the advanced installer menu.
In this mode, the TZT-100 will ONLY broadcast this sensor temperature value via its
ModBus communication. This value is not used by the TZT-100 nor is it displayed on the
LCD. It is expected that this information is used for supervisory functions or equipment
control feedback.

The TT input pair, is an analogue input designed to read a temperature dependant

resistor, otherwise known as a thermistor. If a switched resistor network is connected to
the TT inputs, a supervisory system can read the varying analog signal present at the TT
terminals as a result of the switching of resistors. This would enable the supervisory
system (BMS), to decode a number of digital states.

Typical Drawings

Simplified wiring schematics showing different air conditioning system configurations

appear on the following pages. The TZT-100 dip switch combinations are the same for
each model. First identify which internal controller is used by your system, ie UC6, UC7
or UC8 or IUC.

Attaching the thermostat

Check that the position of the 8 DIP switches matches the requirements of the equipment
being controlled and the specific requirements of the user. Detailed information on the
8 DIP switches can be found on page 6 of this manual.

Check the wiring matches that of the equipment the TZT-100 is to control and that all
wiring is tight and not likely to short between adjacent wires. Equipment wiring
information can be found commencing on page 12 of this manual.

When using the ModBus communication capability of the TZT-100,

ensure the “A”, “B” & “T” data wires are in the correct position as
an error here may affect the communication of the entire
network. See page 36 for detailed wiring of the communications
port of the TZT-100.

Using masking tape or similar, block the hole in the wall

where the wiring enters the back of the thermostat to
prevent drafts that may travel down the inside of the wall
cavity affecting the accuracy of the internally fitted temperature sensor. Figure 12
Remove and discard the plastic tab on the internally fitted backup battery so

that the battery is now in circuit and operating. Be careful not to pull the battery out
or damage the battery holder when doing this.
16 | P a g e
When attaching the thermostat to the base, avoid twisting the case as this may stress
the LCD and cause it to crack. Avoid running wiring near the internally fitted sensor.

Take care not to damage or crush the temperature sensor between the two half’s of
the case when you close the TZT-100 case. Check this sensor location.

Advanced Installer Settings

The TZT-100 is a versatile temperature controller fitted with many advanced functions
that must be fine-tuned by the installer to match the requirements of the end user.

Normally these functions will not need to be altered from the factory default position
however, there may be times when you wish to alter a setting or control capability so
that the TZT-100 performance will perfectly match a particular application. On the next
few pages there is detailed explanation of these functions and their range of control.

While in the advanced installer menu, all TZT-100 equipment control functions will be
suspended. Normal equipment operation will continue when you have exited this menu
(after any Anti-Rapid Cycle delays or safety delays have terminated).

Control logic

This simple diagram (right)

provides a general insight
into the control logic of the
TZT-100 thermostat. It
attempts to describe the
action of the DB=XX, the
SP=XX and SD=XX advanced
installer control capabilities
in both two set point and single set point mode. By adjusting these three values to suit
the needs of the user or equipment extremely tight temperature control can be achieved,
or a more energy efficient temperature control profile can be set.

In single set point mode (sw8=off) the individual heating and cooling set points are
replaced by a “Dead Band” where the heating and cooling differential is controlled by a
installer set value. This is the simplest method of temperature control.

Further, you are able to adjust how quickly the TZT-100 thermostat responds to room
temperature changes by adjusting the RS=XX value in the installer menu. The lower this
setting the faster the thermostat will respond to room temperature fluctuations, the
larger this number the slower the thermostat will respond to changes in room
temperature.

Commissioning

As with any thermostat, commissioning ensures that the thermostat and the equipment
connected to it are operating correctly and as expected. Although the TZT-100 is a
multifunctional thermostat, commissioning is quite a simple process. Follow the steps
detailed below and use the troubleshooting guide on page 41 if you encounter a problem.

When the thermostat is fitted to the base plate and when 12-24VAC power is first
applied, the LCD should briefly show all available segments (a LCD function test) then
display the thermostat firmware version before showing the time and operating mode
etc.

The TZT-100 is fitted with a number of safety and energy saving time delays. If desired,
these can be disabled for commissioning purposes by entering the installer mode and
setting the CD=00 value to read CD=01. After exiting the installer menu you
will note a “Spanner” icon flashing on the LCD to remind you that
commissioning mode is Active. After commissioning has been completed it is
important to disable commissioning mode by entering the installer menu once again
and setting the CD=01 value back to CD=00.

Note- When in “Commissioning Mode” ALL time delays are either OFF or
reduced to an extremely low value, it is therefore normal to potentially call for
3rd stage heating almost instantly 0.5°C below the heating set point.

31 | P a g e
If you choose not to use commissioning mode, you may see various words and Icons
flashing in the LCD whenever a time delay is in use. For example, the word “HEAT” may
flash to indicate heating is required but being held off by the 4 minutes Anti-Rapid Cycle
Timer. Or the word “HEATING” may be flashing to indicate set point has been achieved
however heating is being held ON by the minimum run timer.

The golden rule with the TZT-100 is anything that flashes is a timer
over-riding what would normally be expected to occur.
Either a function is being held on or off momentarily.
Please be patient.

Test fan operation.

With the thermostat OFF (tap the mode button to show OFF in the LCD). Simply tap the
fan button to cycle through the available fan speeds. As the LCD changes to show the fan
speed or fan mode you should here faint “clicks” as the TZT-100 internal relays change,
the equipment fan speed should change accordingly.

Test heating and cooling (if both fitted).

Turn the TZT-100 to Auto season change mode by tapping the mode button until the
words “Heat” and “Cool” are shown on the LCD.

Using the temp  or Temp  button set the desired temperature a few degrees above
the ambient temperature. After a few moments you will hear a click and the word “Heat”
will change to “Heating”.

32 | P a g e
Verify that the heating system is on and operating correctly. If stage 2 heat is being called
the full stop “.” on the end of the word “MODE” will be seen to indicate 2 nd stage heat.
Stage 3 of heat is indicated by the full stop flashing.

Using the temp + or Temp – button set the desired temperature a few degrees below the
ambient temperature. After a few moments you will hear a click and the word “Cool” will
change to “Cooling”. Verify that the cooling system is on and operating correctly. When
stage 2 cool is being called, the full stop “.” on the end of word “MODE” mode will be
seen to indicate 2nd stage cool has been called.

Tap the mode button turn the TZT-100 OFF. After any necessary timers have expired all
heating, cooling and fan functions should stop. Verify that the system has shut down.

Please Note - In HP mode (SW2=ON) it is normal for the reversing valve to

remain energised after the compressor has stopped. This is done to prevent
de-compression “HISS” and to limit the wear on the reversing valve. The reversing valve
will de-energise 120 minutes after the last heating call to conserve power.

If commissioning mode has been used it is important that this function be turned OFF
before handover to the user.

Using the User Manual as a guide set the real time clock and the preferred user program
(if applicable). Explain equipment & thermostat operation to the user. Commissioning is
complete.

Using Remote Temperature Sensors
Figure 13

Single Sensor Twin Averaging Sensors Three Averaging Sensors

Single or multiple room air temperature

sensors can be connected to the TZT-100
“TT” terminals if temperature averaging
over a larger area is desired. 4 examples
of commonly used sensor configurations
are shown. Note - Either TT=RS (remote
sensor) or TT=Av (Averaging sensors)
Four Averaging Sensors
value must be set in the advanced installer
menu for these sensors to be used.

Please note the configuration of RS-01 & RS-02 sensors in the examples provided
above. Other sensor configurations are also available.

34 | P a g e
A typical maximum of 10 metres is permitted for sensor runs with unshielded cable. If
longer distances are required a larger diameter (0.3mm) shielded cable should be used.

When used in Start / Stop commercial programmable mode

(SW6=on SW8=off), the afterhours run timer can be toggled
on or off as required with a momentary press button on the
remote sensor. See figure 17.

As the TZT-100 “Auto detects” sensors connected to the “TT”

terminals, temperature sensors can also be switched on and

Advanced Functions

ModBus Communications
The TZT-100 has integrated ModBus communications capabilities. Using a remote PC or
a Direct Digital Control (DDC) system, many of the TZT-100 functions can be viewed or
adjusted remotely.

It is not the scope of this manual to provide detail on the communication capability of
the TZT-100. ModBus communication detail will be available for download from
www.temperzone.com.au. This information will be updated as changes are made.
35 | P a g e
The communications port of the TZT-100 has 3 terminals used for communication. “A”,
“B” & “T”. Terminals “A+” & “B-” are used for data communication, the terminal “T” ( a
shared terminal from the thermostat T T input) is used
as a Vss (screen ground to protect the integrity of the
communication signal).
Figure 16
A maximum of 32 TZT-100s can be connected to any single hub. Each TZT-100 on the hub
must have a unique network address (factory default is 7). These settings are adjustable
from the advanced installer menu. See page 18 for more detail on setting the communications
address.

A typical ModBus wiring example is given below. If using a common power supply to
power all thermostats on a network, it is highly recommended that all thermostats power
is wired in phase, i.e. “R” to “R” and “C” to “C” and NOT crossed.

Figure 17

In many cases where multiple thermostats are used in a single network or on a long
network run, the two DIP switches located between the “R” & “R/Com” terminals on the
last thermostat on the node should be switched on to improve network reliability.

36 | P a g e
It is essential that the network be wired
as a daisy chain as shown in fig. 18.

Figures 19 & 20 show examples of

how NOT to wire a ModBus network.

Short communication runs, 1mm (18 gauge) twisted

pair unshielded wire can be used, however for longer
runs or where electrical noise may be present
twisted pair with shield should be used.

Factory Test Mode

The TZT-100 is fitted with a simple factory Test
Mode where you can confirm that all relays outputs
functions and the current configuration of the
thermostat.
Ts = 0 Factory Test Function is OFF.
Ts = 1 Display DIP switch configuration code.
Ts = 2 Relay test mode. All relays cycle on then off in an endless loop.
Ts = 3 Factory Software reset – Press Fan button to confirm.

37 | P a g e
High and Low balance points
The TZT-100 is fitted with both High and Low Balance Point control capability.
For these functions to operate the Installer setting must be TT=OA (outside air
temperature sensor fitted), the outside air sensor must be installed and SW1 must be
OFF (Single fan speed mode).

High Balance point.

Set the installer menu value “HB=XX”.
When the outside air temperature is above this value, second or third stages of heating
are held off regardless of the room and set temperature.
Set this function is designed to prevent the excessive consumption of energy for
heating when the outside air temperature is warm.

Low Balance point

SW2=on, H3 =EH (Emergency Heat Mode) Set the installer menu value “LB=XX”.
When the outside air temperature is below this value the TZT-100 will automatically
switch to emergency heat mode when heating is required. If the outside temperature is
above this LB=XX value the emergency heat mode can be selected manually at any time
with the “MODE” button.

Setting up the Heat & Cool Off functions

To conserve energy, the TZT-100 can suspend the heating or cooling functions if the
outside air temperature is within a prescribed installer set range.

38 | P a g e
If the outside air temperature is above the HO=XX (heating OFF) value, heating will not
be called regardless of the room and set temperature. If the outside air temperature is
below the CO=XX value, cooling will not be called regardless of the room and set
temperature. “Heat” or “Cool” and the word “Locked” will flash on the LCD to show that
these modes have been restricted.

Adaptive recovery
Only available in programmable mode (sw6=on).
The adaptive recovery function of the TZT-100 permits the user to program a time that a
desired set temperature is required, letting the thermostat calculate the most energy
efficient time to turn on to achieve the desired temperature at the selected time.

If the user typically returns home at 5:00pm at the end of the work day, setting program
#3 (if used in residential programmable mode) to 5:00pm the TZT-100 will calculate the
most energy efficient time based on the set and room temperatures as well as a history
of temperature change to bring on the equipment prior to 5:00pm to meet the desired
set temperature by 5:00pm. For example, when heating is required the heating may start
at 4.32pm so that the set temperature is reached at 5:00pm

Adaptive recovery may also prevent the TZT-100 from running for a few moments just
prior to a program change occurring.

“RECO” is shown in the LCD whenever Adaptive recovery is being used.
