  • Page 27: Hvac System Connection

    For Heat Pump HVAC systems, the HVAC outputs support 3 stages of heating (2 compressor/1 heatstrip) and 2 stages of cooling. Remote Communications The TZ43 thermostats have a Zwave communications module for communicating to control systems with Zwave capability. Outside Temperature Operation The thermostat can use and display outside temperature information from a sensor attached to the RS2 Remote Sensor connection The outside temperature will be displayed on the Thermostat.

  • Page 28: Hvac System Operation And Setup

    HVAC System Operation and Setup General Heating and Cooling Operation In the HEATING mode, the heating system will be turned on at one degree below the setpoint and will turn off at the setpoint. This turn on and turn off offset is referred to as the heating setpoint “delta T” and is adjustable in the Installer Settings menu of the THERMOSTAT.
  • Page 29 Minimum Run Time (MRT) The TZ43 has a Minimum Run Time after the start of any heat or cool call. This minimum run time assures even heating and cooling cycles. Minimum Run Time will keep the system on even if you change the setpoint to a temperature that would satisfy the call, until the MRT expires.

  • Page 30: Remote Temperature Sensors

    INSTALLATION Remote Temperature Sensors The TZ43 can accept up to 2 remote temperature sensors. The first sensor (RS1) will replace the internal temperature sensor of the TZ43. The second sensor (RS2) can either be an averaging sensor or an Outside sensor.

  • Page 31: Power

    The TZ43 requires 24VAC power from the HVAC system it is controlling. Connect the 24VAC Common (typically the Blue wire/terminal) and 24VAC R (typically the Red wire/terminal) from the HVAC system to the TZ43’s HVAC System terminal block 24VCom and 24V RH or 24V RC terminals (the RH and RC terminals are default tied together) Common or Split Transformer Systems Most HVAC systems have a common heating and cooling transformer.

    If you need to verify that the HVAC system is operational, you can perform the following test Thermostats, like the TZ43, are just switches to the HVAC system as shown in the diagram below. This is a simplified example of a thermostat and a standard HVAC wiring diagram. The HVAC system operation can be tested by duplicating the thermostat switch operation by shorting across the thermostat terminals on the HVAC system.
