Installation

Location Considerations

Locate a thermostat controller:
on a partitioning wall, approximately 1.5 m (5 ft)
above the floor in a location of average
temperature
away from direct sunlight, radiant heat, outside
walls, behind doors, air discharge grills, stairwells,
or outside doors
away from steam or water pipes, warm air stacks,
unconditioned areas (not heated or cooled), or
sources of electrical interference
Note: Allow for vertical air circulation to the
TEC20x6(H)-4 and TEC20x6H-4+PIR Series
Thermostat Controllers.
For integrated Passive Infrared (PIR) models, make
sure the thermostat controller is located centrally,
where occupant movement is frequent.

Wireless Signal Transmission Range

Line-of-sight transmission ranges between a
TEC20 Coordinator and a TEC Wireless Thermostat
Controller (or between TEC Wireless Thermostat
Controllers) can be less than the recommended
distances shown in Table 1. The effective transmission
range for indoor applications varies because of Radio
Frequency (RF) signal absorption and reflection due to
metal obstructions, walls (or floors), and furniture found
in typical building interiors.

For detailed information on locating devices for
optimum signal strength, refer to the Wireless Metasys
System Location Guide (LIT-12011294).

Installing the Thermostat Controller

Follow these steps to install the thermostat controller:
1. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the
security screw if it is installed on the bottom of the
thermostat controller cover.
Note: Normally, the security screw is packaged
separately in a plastic bag with the thermostat
controller. Skip this step if the screw is not installed
on the bottom of the cover.
2. Pull the bottom edge of the thermostat cover and
open the thermostat as illustrated in Figure 1.
Note: PIR Models have a wiring connection
between the cover and the Printed Circuit Board
(PCB). This connection allows for proper wiring of
the occupancy sensor. Carefully remove the wiring
connection from the PCB by pulling up on the
connector block. Do not attempt to remove the
connector block by pulling on the wires.
