VERVIEW AND SUPPORTED
The RCS TR16 and TR40 are retrofit-able RS-485 communicating thermostats that use a 2-piece
installation method to leverage existing HVAC wiring for easy install. Each thermostat consists of two
parts: a wall display unit, which resembles a typical thermostat; and a HVAC Control unit. The WDU is
installed using existing HVAC wires at the desired location, and connected to the HVAC Unit back box via
the existing 4-wire run. All new wire connections can then be made the HVAC unit without running new
wires to each thermostat location. The TR16/TR40 thermostats support 2-stage heat/2-stage cooling in a
conventional gas or electric install, and 3-stage heat/2-stage cool in a heat pump setup. The TS16 and
TS40 are variants of the TR16/TR40 that can be used with an HVAC Zone Controller that adds
independent zone control via the use of associated dampers for improved efficiency and distribution. See
RCS for full details.
Independent TR16/TR40 installs, and installs using the TS16/TS40 with ZCV series zone controllers are
compatible with external RS-485 or RS-232 control from HomeLogic, and provide reliable two-way control
and feedback.

manual control based on time (Timed Temporary Hold, Temporary Hold and Permanent Hold).
Mode Control: The climate system can be set to run in the following heating and cooling modes: Heat
only, Cool only, Auto Heat Cool (TR40 only) or Off. In addition, systems that have a fan can be set to
run in Automatic mode or Continuous mode.
History View: The history view shows the inside temperature, outside temperature, unit run and fan run
times, and cooling and heating setpoints.
Schedule Control: Multiple schedules may be set up, and are automatically tied to the house mode.
Zone Control: Multi-zone "Smart Damper/Vent" systems using the RCS ZCV series of zone controllers
are compatible with HomeLogic.
Remote Sensors: Outside Temperature can be read from RCS climate systems.

HERMOSTATS
Mode Control: Auto Heat Cool is not available for external control on the TR16 thermostats.
Message Features: Message features supported by RCS for display of text based messages on the
WDU readout are not supported in HomeLogic.
Humidity: No humidity features or sensors are supported with RCS climate systems.
Note: The TS16 and TS40 are equivalent models to the TR16 and TR40, sold for use with Zoned
Systems. They do not include the HVAC controller hardware, as this is part of the ZCV Series controller.
