Temperature Control Programming
9.1 How Temperature Control
Works
Temperature control will only work on
control panels that:
• support VPM5580TC modules
• have software version 2.x or higher.
If the control panel supports
VPM5580TC modules, but has a soft-
ware version less than v2.x, all
VPM5580TC functions are available with
the exception of temperature control.
The VPM5580TC can detect and control the indoor
temperature of the premises when 1 - 4 thermostats
are connected. Each thermostat can have up to six
EMS-ITS indoor sensors to detect, average and
display the interior temperature. If an EMS-OTS
outdoor sensor is connected to a thermostat, the
VPM5580TC can detect and display outdoor
temperature. (Refer to the EMS thermostat and EMS-
ITS/OTS Installation Instructions for more information
on these devices.)
The indoor and outdoor temperature can be displayed
on the EMS thermostat and on an LCD keypad connected
to the security system. The LCD keypad will display the
temperature of a selected thermostat when it is not in
use (see the VPM5580TC Instruction Manual ).
Each thermostat can be connected to a heating
device (e.g. furnace), a cooling device (e.g. air
conditioner) or both.
Users can control indoor temperature directly at the
thermostat, through the LCD keypad or using the
VPM5580TC.
In addition, the VPM5580TC can
automatically control the temperature using schedules
and PGM outputs available in the system. This is
done in a similar manner to Automation item control.
Thermostat Modes
Each thermostat has 4 different Thermostat Modes:
•
Cool
•
Heat
•
Automatic
•
Off

If the thermostat is connected to a cooling device
(e.g. air conditioning), use the Cool mode to
maintain the temperature below a certain level. If
the thermostat is connected to a heating device
(e.g. furnace), use the Heat mode to maintain the
temperature above a certain level. If the thermostat
is connected to both a cooling device and a heating
device, use the Automatic mode to maintain the
temperature within a certain range with both the
heating and cooling devices. You can stop
temperature control by selecting the Off mode.
Users can change thermostat modes using the
VPM5580TC, the thermostat, or a system keypad.
Occupancy Settings
Each thermostat has four different temperature
ranges that can be programmed. These
temperature ranges are called Occupancy Settings:
•
Day Occupancy Setting
•
Night Occupancy Setting
•
Auxiliary Occupancy Setting
•
Away Occupancy Setting.
These occupancy settings allow users to easily
change the temperature range for the area
controlled by the thermostat. Depending on which
Thermostat Mode is turned on, the thermostat will
use either heating or cooling devices to maintain
the temperature within the range programmed for
the occupancy setting.
Example : A user wants the temperature in the
building to be 21 - 23
o
C in the day time and 15-17
in the evening. Using the Home Automation menu,
program the Day Occupancy setting for 21-23
and the Night Occupancy setting for 15-17
the VPM5580TC Instruction Manual for information
on changing Occupancy Setting temperature
ranges.)
A thermostat may be switched to a different
Occupancy setting:
•
by the user through the VPM5580TC, the
thermostat or the keypad
•
by automatic control using schedules and/or
PGM outputs in the system.
