BATTERY POWERED Z-WAVE THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The Z-Wave Thermostat (GC-TBZ48) is a programmable, Z-Wave communica ng thermostat. It can be powered using 24VAC (if both “R”&”C”wires are available at the thermostat), or using four (4) AA ba eries. Using Z-Wave technology, end users have the ability to use the 2GIG Go!Control panel to control the thermostat, confi...

Thermostat Power The thermostat can be powered by either 24VAC from the HVAC system or from four (4) type AA internal ba eries. DO NOT use this thermostat for line voltage controls (120/240VAC). The C Wire If the 24VAC common wire (usually blue) is present and is connected to 24VAC common at the HVAC system end, the thermostat can be powered from the HVAC system and ba eries are not required.
Remove Existing Thermostat • Turn off the power to the thermostat. This is usually done at the hea ng/cooling system or circuit breaker panel. • Remove the cover of old thermostat to expose the wiring terminals. • Take a picture of the wiring terminals and the wires before disconnecting them! •...
Install the Back Panel Remove the back panel of the thermostat by pushing down the thumb tab on the bo om of the body. Figure 3. Removing back panel of thermostat. BACK PANEL BODY (WITH PCB) PUSH ON THUMB TAB TO RELEASE BACK PANEL Mount the thermostat back panel on the wall (See Figure 4).
Standard HVAC System Connections NOTE: For typical connec ons to a Standard HVAC system, refer to the diagram on Page 2. The terminals on the back panel have two sets of labels. The upper label shows the STANDARD HVAC terminal connec ons. The lower label shows HEAT PUMP HVAC terminal connec ons. Figure 5.
Dual Transformer Systems For HVAC systems that have separate hea ng and cooling systems, each with their own 24VAC transformers, there will be an “R” wire from the hea ng system and an “R” wire from the cooling system. For dual transformer systems, connect the “C” wire from the cooling system to the thermostat’s “C” terminal.
Heat Pump HVAC System Connections NOTE: For typical connec ons to a Heat Pump HVAC system, refer to the diagram on Page 3. The terminals on the back panel have two sets of labels. The lower label shows HEAT PUMP HVAC terminal connec ons.
