Introduction The CHV-TSTATRF is a wireless networked thermostat featuring infiNET™ wireless technology. The CHV-TSTATRF is designed to be installed easily in place of a conventional thermostat without requiring additional control wiring. Although it can be used as a standalone thermostat, the CHV-TSTATRF delivers enhanced functionality as part of a complete Crestron Home communicating via the infiNET wireless control network.

In addition, a dedicated repeater (C2N-MNETRPT, sold separately) can be added to increase the system range. NOTE: The CHV-TSTATRF must be powered by 24 Volt AC source and have its power setting on “24” to allow it to function as a repeater.

Heat Pump (dF) functions. Then press MODE repeatedly until the Power Source function is displayed (Po). By default, the CHV-TSTATRF is configured to be powered by two AA alkaline batteries. In addition, in order to extend battery life, the device is able to steal power from the HVAC system by drawing a small amount of current through the heat or cool terminals.
10 minutes. Basic infiNET™ Setup The MNET ID of the CHV-TSTATRF has been factory set to 01. After an infiNET device is added to an infiNET network, its MNET ID must be changed to a value that can be addressed by the control system program (03 to 20). The MNET IDs of multiple CHV-TSTATRF devices on the same gateway must be unique.

Verify that the MNET ID for the infiNET device is set to match the MNET ID specified in the program. Check the D3 Pro, SystemBuilder or SIMPL Windows program to ensure that a CHV-TSTATRF has been added at the proper MNET-ID. Refer to “Programming with Crestron D3 Pro or SystemBuilder”...
Advanced Setup Setup Mode After the CHV-TSTATRF is installed, it is necessary to set it up for a particular heating/cooling system. Please note that some of the setup parameters listed below will not always be available. Refer to “Setup Mode Parameters/Functions”, which starts on page 20 for details.
(refer to “LCD Display” which starts on page 28). NOTE: While in Setup mode, a period of one minute with no button activity will cause the CHV-TSTATRF to revert to standard operation, unless a function (such as an infiNET acquire) is executing.

Thermostat Operation System Mode The MODE button on the CHV-TSTATRF will cycle the unit through all available system modes in the following order: Off, Heat, Emergency Heat (for heat pump and dual-fuel systems), Cool and Auto (if enabled in Setup).
Page 29
Smaller values for the Auto Dead Band setting will result in tighter temperature regulation but more frequent cycling between heating and cooling. NOTE: When using a single setpoint, the CHV-TSTATRF has a 20-minute change limiter to prevent system toggling.
For example, in the winter they may want to lower the heat setpoint while they sleep to lower heating costs. To accommodate this, the CHV-TSTATRF provides a “Scheduled Heat Setpoint” and a “Scheduled Cool Setpoint” which can be specified by the control system program. This is handled automatically by the “Crestron CHV-TSTATRF w/5-2 Scheduler”...
Instead, the thermostat will wake up approximately 10 seconds after the last button press to send its updated status to the control system. NOTE: When the CHV-TSTATRF is powered via a constant 24 VAC supply, it will not go to sleep.

Finally, program checks can be performed (such as changing the device ID) to ensure proper functioning. Establishing Communication Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the CHV-TSTATRF; refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file for details. There is a single method of communication: indirect serial communication.

It should look for the gateway within 10 seconds. Check circuit breaker. Check for +24V on C connector. Check circuit breaker powering furnace or boiler. Recheck wiring connections. Check batteries, replace if necessary. infiNET™ Thermostat: CHV-TSTATRF • 35...
The bootloader is a low-level version of the CHV-TSTATRF’s firmware that will become active in the event an upload of the standard firmware fails. This lets you perform some basic functions with the goal of getting the CHV-TSTATRF back to normal operation.
(refer to “Setup Mode” which starts on page 19). From the bootloader, Setup mode will support only the following functions: To restore functionality, try cycling power to the CHV-TSTATRF. If unit remains in bootloader, you should resend the latest firmware using Crestron Toolbox.
