  • Page 2 The TXB16 has automatic detection and setup of remote temperature sensors. Remotes sensors have 3 address settings that, when detected by the TXB16, will be used for specific functions such as in lieu of the internal sensor, averaging with other sensors or an outdoor sensor.
  • Page 3: Lcd Display

    TS16 Wall Display Unit The TS16 Wall Display Unit has a LCD display and control buttons for changing the setpoint, system operating mode and manual fan mode. The WDU also has an internal temperature sensor. The display serves as a common display for many functions. It normally shows the current room temperature but switches to show setpoint, mode or other functions when buttons are pushed.

The display will change to show “SU”. 4. Release all buttons. 5. The display will change to show the setup menu, starting with “Ad” (Address) 6.
  • Page 6: Remote Sensors

    Remote Sensors The TS16 Wall Display Unit has a remote sensor terminal block, J2, on the base for connection of a remote temperature sensor. Without any remote sensor attached, the WDU uses the internal sensor for the current temperature information. When a remote sensor is attached, the WDU will detect it automatically and will use the remote sensor(s) according to its address selection.

    The TXB16 Control Unit connects to the HVAC system the same as, and in place of, a standard thermostat. It is usually mounted near the HVAC system, although it can be mounted anywhere convenient.
  • Page 8 Be sure to check your HVAC system’s requirements. Note: Dipswitch SW1 position 3, the CO selection is not required for standard systems. Leave in the Off position (SW1-3 = OFF) TXB16 Control Unit HVAC System Outputs for Standard Systems Operating Mode Outputs (no Fan with Heat)
  • Page 9 HEAT PUMP HVAC SYSTEM OPERATION The TXB16 has Heat Pump operating modes of Heating, Cooling, Auto changeover and Emergency Heat. The Heat Pump HVAC system operation is the same as for Standard systems for normal first and second stage operations. In addition, Heat Pumps may have a third stage of heating, which is for heat strips. The third stage comes at 5 degrees from setpoint and stays on until the stage 1 setpoint is satisfied.
  • Page 10 Status LED X10 Signal Reception or Transmission Indication When the TXB16 is first powered up, the status LED will come ON steady, indicating power and the unit is running OK. When the X10 power line interface is connected and an X10 signal is detected, the LED will start flashing slowly as the normal system heartbeat.
  • Page 11 X10 House Code Setting New with the TXB16, the X10 House Code address, is now set from the Wall Display Unit. (If your unit includes X10 address dipswitch SW1, with positions 5, 6, 7 and 8, ignore them as they are no longer used for address selection.
  • Page 12 X10 House code and that must be shared with lighting and the thermostat. Setting the Default Unit Code Decode Table. The TXB16 is default set to the P decode table. You can set/change the decode table used by the TXB16 three ways.
  • Page 13 TXB16 Installation STOP Before proceeding with removing an existing thermostat and installing the TXB16, Read the following important steps. 1. Record existing wiring information on the enclosed wiring form. 2. Perform the TXB16 bench test 3. Check WDU wiring BEFORE applying power to control unit.
  • Page 14 TXB16 Wall Display Unit Installation WDU Location Choose a location that best represents the temperature of the area to be controlled. Avoid locations that are subject to drafts, from doors and windows, or areas with direct sunlight exposure. WDU Mounting Route the wires to the WDU through the access hole in the back of the case. Mount the WDU to the wall with the screws and anchors provided.

  • Page 18 TXB16 Power Connection Power from the HVAC System The TXB16 Control Unit connects to the HVAC system’s thermostat connections and receives 24VAC power from it. All most all HVAC systems have standard thermostat connections. This may be a thermostat terminal strip on the system control board or color coded wires.
  • Page 19 The X10 interface on the Control Unit is the RJ11 jack, J4. It is connected to an X10 power line interface module, Model PSC05 or TW523, by the four (4) wire modular phone cable provided. TXB16 CONTROL UNIT 120V OUTLET...

    4. Plug the X10 Interface Module into a 110VAC outlet. The module’s LED should be ON. 5. Plug an X10 Controller in the outlet. 6. Set the House Code on the X10 controller to match the TXB16 Control Unit (Example: House Code A or 1 on the WDU).
  • Page 21: Hvac System Testing

    HVAC SYSTEM TESTING The TXB16 Control Unit connects to the HVAC system at the normal thermostat connections on the HVAC unit. Standard thermostat control of HVAC systems consist of 24VAC contact closures in the thermostat. You can verify that your HVAC system is working correctly by duplicating the contact closures by shorting across the proper terminals at the HVAC system’s thermostat connection.
