Introduction Verdant VX Series Energy Management Thermostats deliver unprecedented energy savings without compromising the comfort of occupants. An integrated occupancy sensor uses a combination of motion and thermal sensing technologies for accurate occupancy detection. Reliable occupancy detection allows for energy savings when rooms are unoccupied. Energy saving presets eliminate the guesswork and make it easy to adjust the energy saving settings.

HVAC Controller Installation Introduction Verdant HVAC Controllers enable wireless thermostat control of most HVAC units. The HVAC Controller has relay 24VAC outputs, analog 0-10VDC outputs, and digital data (RS485) outputs to allow for control of virtually any HVAC unit. The illustration below indicates the various ports available on the HVAC Controller. Refer to the appropriate page in this manual for wiring instructions for your specific HVAC unit.
HVAC Controller Installation Installing HVAC Controller in 24VAC Relay Units Power Off HVAC unit Mount HVAC Controller inside HVAC unit Use supplied wire harness to connect HVAC Controller to HVAC unit If applicable, set the unit to External Thermostat (Class 2) mode. Consult the HVAC unit documentation to determine how to set the unit to External Thermostat mode.
Page 18
HVAC Controller Installation Using Universal Input and Output Ports of HVAC Controller The J6 port has three universal inputs, three universal outputs, and a ground. It functions in conjunction with the J2 jumper port and the J3 standard relay port. In cases where the standard 24 VAC relays of port J3 cannot control part of or all the analog controlled fan or heating/cooling modes of a specific HVAC system, the J6 port may be used to enable control of such a fan or mode (heating/cooling) or both...
HVAC Controller Installation Using HVAC Controller to Power Wireless Thermostat (Optional) The J11 port on the HVAC Controller may be used to supply 12VDC power to a wireless thermostat, if desired. Use the supplied wire harness to connect the J11 port to the back of the wireless thermostat 12VDC Output (J11 Port)
HVAC Controller Installation Using HVAC Controller’s Dry Contacts to Control External Devices The J9 port on HVAC Controller can be used as a dry contact for control of external devices such as lighting relays and dampers. Refer to application notes for more information.
Thermostat Installation Mounting Thermostat to Wall Select appropriate installation location for thermostat per below: THE THERMOSTAT’S OCCUPANCY SENSOR SHOULD FACE THE BED AREA OF THE ROOM OR AREA WHERE OCCUPANT WILL SPEND THE MOST TIME. THE THERMOSTAT MUST NOT BE INSTALLED IN THE VICINITY OF LARGE METAL STRUCTURES OR SURFACES INCLUDING METAL AIR DUCTING.
Optional Sensor Installation Select appropriate installation location With faceplate removed, place sensor on wall in installation location and mark location for drilling holes for two mounting screws OCCUPANCY SENSORS SHOULD FACE THE DESIRED OCCUPANCY DETECTION AREA. Drill two 3/16” holes in wall and insert two wall anchors Use two screws to securely mount sensor to the wall Insert one AAA alkaline battery into compartment (wireless sensors only)
