Residential Control Systems Inc. Model TR16 Communicating Thermostat With RS485 Communications INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL Rev P HVAC Control Unit DCN: 141-00930-09 Rev 09 7/13/06 This revision of the document applies to the following part numbers and revisions or later. - Page 2 The TR16 has automatic detection and setup of remote temperature sensors. Remote sensors have address settings that, when detected by the TR16, will be used for specific functions, such as, in lieu of the internal sensor, averaging with other sensors.
-
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. -
Page 4: Control Buttons
Control Buttons Setpoint UP and DOWN Buttons The UP and DOWN buttons control the heating or cooling setpoint temperature. TO VIEW THE CURRENT SETPOINT: Push either the UP or DOWN buttons once will cause the LCD display to change to show the current setpoint temperature (but won’t change it). TO CHANGE THE SETPOINT: With the setpoint displayed as above, push the UP button to increase the setpoint temperature by one degree or push the DOWN button to decrease the setpoint by one degree. -
Page 5: Setup Mode
Setting the Fahrenheit or Celsius mode In the setup mode, press the mode button to select “FC” mode. The TR16 is default set to F mode. To change the degree mode, press the UP/DOWN buttons to select F or C as desired. To exit press mode again to move another setup mode or wait for the screen to time out and return to the normal thermostat temperature display. -
Page 6: Remote Sensors
You can view the outside temperature by pressing both the UP/DOWN buttons simultaneously. Display Lock The TR16 WDU control buttons can be locked to prevent unauthorized changes in system operation from the WDU. The display lock/unlock state can only be set by the “DL” network command. See the Serial Protocol Manual for details on this command. -

The TR16 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. It is connected to the WDU by a 4 wire cable, either standard thermostat wiring or typically Cat 3/5 in new construction. - Page 8 G, W1, W2 HEAT PUMP HVAC SYSTEM OPERATION The TR16 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.

1 to 254 is selected. The default address is 1. Serial Protocol The TR16 thermostat has a robust serial protocol. It is based on a simple ASCII message format as described in the RCS Serial Communications Protocol manual, DCN# 150-00225. -
Page 11: Installation Overview
TR16 Installation STOP Before proceeding with removing an existing thermostat and installing the TR16, Read the following important steps. 1. Record existing wiring information on the enclosed wiring form. 2. Perform the TR16 bench test 3. Check WDU wiring BEFORE applying power to control unit. - Page 12 TR16 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 16 TR16 Power Connection The TR16 Control Unit 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 control unit’s HVAC System terminal block J4’s 24VCom and 24V RH or 24V RC terminals (the RH and RC terminals are default jumpered together…see below)
