DESCRIPTION
The RC-100BZ is a precision digital thermostat designed for 24 VAC heat pump systems. It has the capability
of being controlled both locally and by remote control over a Z-Wave network. It offers programmability,
stand-alone operation, and communications with automation systems, utility control systems, or personal
computers over a Z-Wave network. The RC-100ZB is equipped with a "cool blue" backlight display.

The following requirements must be observed for installation in Europe: CE
1. This equipment must be installed in accordance with National wiring rules for the country in which it is
installed.
2. Fuses must be replaced only with IEC rated components.
3. All product labels, instructions and markings relating to safety must be translated to a language, which is
acceptable in the country in which this equipment is to be installed.
INSTALLATION
Before installing this thermostat:
1. Read all of the installation instructions carefully.
2. Read the Owner's Manual carefully.
3. Ensure that this product is suitable for your application.
4. Ensure that wiring complies with all codes and ordinances.
5. Disconnect power to the control transformer to prevent electrical shock and damage to equipment.
6. Select an appropriate location to ensure an accurate temperature reading.
Location
When replacing an existing thermostat, install the RC-100BZ in the same location. If the existing location
doesn't meet the following criteria, choose a new location. When choosing a location for the thermostat:
1. Ensure that the thermostat is mounted 5 feet above the floor and is at least 2 feet from an outdoor wall.
2. Ensure that the thermostat is located in an area where there is adequate air circulation.
3. Do not mount in the path of direct sunlight or of radiant heat generated by appliances.
4. Do not mount behind an outdoor wall, near a fireplace, or in the path of any air ducts.

- Page 2 4. Remove the existing plate or base from the wall. MOUNTING When mounting the RC-100BZ, grasp the thermostat by the sides, avoiding the keys, and unsnap the base from the face. Holding the base to the wall so that the word "TOP" is upright and facing you: 1.
- Page 3 Connect each wire to the terminal strip on the thermostat base per the wiring diagram for your system application - See Figures 4 - 5. Form the thermostat wiring so that the cable lies flat between the terminal strip and the center of the base. Upon completion of wiring the thermostat, push all excess wiring into the hole in the wall.

Page 4: Typical Wiring Diagrams
The RC-100BZ automatically controls auxiliary heat efficiently. The RC-100BZ requires at least 1 stage of auxiliary heat enabled at all times. If the heat pump is equipped with an outdoor thermostat, it should be removed from the auxiliary heat circuit, or reconfigured... - Page 5 Figure 5...

CONFIGURING THE BACKLIGHT ON THE RC-100BZ The backlight on the RC-100BZ can be configured to one of three different modes: 1) on for 30 seconds when a key is pressed, 2) always on, or 3) always off. To configure the display backlight to turn on when a key is pressed, then back off 30 seconds later, set the “JP2”... -
Page 7: Installer Setup
POWER UP 1. Double check wiring, be sure that there are no stray wires or wire strands at the connections. 2. Connect power to the transformer and system. The display will show all segments for about 5 seconds. 3. Press the Fan key. The fan should come on. Press the Fan key again. The fan should go off. 4. - Page 8 Address If you are using Communications Mode 0 or 1, and you are installing more than one thermostat, each must be set to a consecutive address, starting at 1. The default address setting is 1. An address from 1- 127 may be selected. Communications mode The thermostat can communicate with remote systems in 4 different modes.
- Page 9 Fahrenheit 24-hour time format non-programmable When communicating with an HAI controller, the thermostat should be configured as "non-programmable". To disable the clock and filter reminder displays, add “16” to each value. The default setting is 1. Calibration offset This item is used to raise or lower the current temperature reading by 1 degree Fahrenheit or 1/2 degree Celsius.
- Page 10 (1 = “- 29” to 59 = “+ 29” seconds per day; 30 = No change) The default setting is 30. Note: If an HAI automation system is being used, the controller system time is sent to the thermostat every minute. This adjustment will have no effect.
- Page 11 This item logs the amount of time (hours) that the heating and cooling system was in operation last week. ANTICIPATION RC-100BZ anticipation is performed electronically and is independent of the type and load of the components in the heating and cooling equipment. The RC-100BZ has electronic control based on proportional, integral, and derivative components and maintains temperature to within 1 degree F.
- Page 12 (See Setup Item 03 - "Display Options"). HAI AUTOMATION SYSTEMS The thermostat can communicate with an HAI automation system over a Z-Wave network. The controller can send commands to the thermostat to change mode, cool setting, heat setting, status of fan and hold, and other items.

After 10 seconds, a controller can set the mode, get the current mode, and get the modes supported by the thermostat. COMMAND_CLASS_THERMOSTAT_SETPOINT Upon power up, allow 10 seconds for the RC-100BZ thermostat to initialize. After 10 seconds, a controller can change setpoints, get current setpoints, and request the setpoints that are supported by thermostat.
