Schedules And Holidays (And Bacnet); Firmware Upgrade - TCS UbiquiSTAT US4010 Product Manual

USING INSIGHT WITH UBIQUISTAT
2. USB to RS-485 serial converter to RS-485 network
Caution: Disconnect any QD2040 on the RS-485 network if using this Insight configuration.
Note: This method may be used to program all thermostats on a single network simultaneously.
First, connect PC/laptop to the USB-to-RS-485 serial converter (TCS QD1010). Then wire the RS-485 network on the serial
converter to the network on the UbiquiSTAT. The Communication Mode must be set to "TCSbus" on the UbiquiSTAT. The
chosen baud rate in Insight must match the RS-485 network settings on the UbiquiSTAT.
A Windows driver may need to be installed for the PC/laptop to recognize and use the QD1010 or UbiquiSTAT USB. This
driver is found and installed automatically by Windows Update when connected to the Internet.

7.3 Schedules and Holidays (and BACnet)

The schedule editor tab in Insight edits a TCSbus representation of the schedule that is identical to that presented in the
TCS SZ Series controllers, using start/stop times for each of the schedules A, B, C, D.
The BACnet representation of the schedule (BACnet object SCHED-800) is what is actually in effect and used by the con-
troller. The two representations of the schedule are kept in sync as follows:
• When either representation of the schedule is written, a synchronization is scheduled to occur approximately 10 seconds
after the last write is received.
• If the TCSbus schedule was written, then this schedule is synced to BACnet.
• If the BACnet schedule is written, then it is synced to TCSbus.
• This is effectively: "Last schedule written wins."
Note that the schedule editor on the touchscreen edits the BACnet schedule and therefore saving this schedule will cause
a sync to TCSbus.
The TCSbus weekly schedule is synced to the BACnet Weekly_Schedule property and the TCSbus Holiday Schedule is
synced to the BACnet Exception_Schedule property of the schedule object.
Due to the limitations of the TCSbus holiday schedule, writes to the BACnet Exception_Schedule (via a third-party BACnet
tool) are not synced to the TCSbus holiday schedule. Instead, when this happens, the TCSbus holiday schedule is cleared
and the #Days field for the first range of Holiday 1 is set to equal the length of the Exception_Schedule array in order to
provide some indication that there are holidays programmed in the device.

7.4 Firmware Upgrade

The UbiquiSTAT firmware may be upgraded using Insight.
To access the firmware upgrade feature, click the "Modules" menu item, then select "Advanced" and click the "Firmware
Upgrade" option. This will cause the Firmware Upgrader tab to be displayed.
1. After discovering and selecting the UbiquiSTAT that is to be upgraded via the Network tab, click "Refresh" on the Firm-
ware Upgrader tab to get the controller details.
2. Click "Browse" to locate the firmware image file that is to be upgraded.
3. If everything checks out, then the "Start" button should be enabled. Click this button to start the upgrade. The upgrade
may be canceled at any time by clicking the Cancel button. Canceling or otherwise interrupting the upgrade process
will not cause any damage to the controller. The firmware image is buffered internally before the upgrade is per-
formed, and the UbiquiSTAT will continue to operate normally during the process, except at the end during the re-start.
During the upgrade process, the UbiquiSTAT should indicate that the firmware is being upgraded by a message on the
home screen.
4. The UbiquiSTAT display will go dark for up to 10 seconds at the end of the upgrade as it re-boots and loads the new
firmware for the first time.
• The firmware files can be found at www.tcsbasys.com under the UbiquiSTAT product page.
• Firmware upgrade via Insight is available for UbiquiSTATs that are already running firmware v1.01.0 and later. Ubiqui-
