WARNING

Risk of electrical shock. Disconnect power before servicing or installing product. Install in accordance with National Electric Code and local codes.

The WTS10 Wireless Thermostat operates seamlessly within the Daintree Networked wireless building control platform. The WTS10 is a low-voltage wireless commercial programmable thermostat that can connect to any single or multi-stage conventional or heat pump HVAC system. As part of the Daintree Networked platform and using industry-standard ZigBee® wireless communications, the WTS10 can be managed and programmed from any location using the ControlScope Manager (CSM) web application, eliminating the need for on-site, manual thermostat adjustment.

Installation Process

If this is a new thermostat installation, locate the thermostat 4 to 5 feet above the floor in accordance with applicable building codes. Install in a location that provides good airflow characteristics and avoid areas behind doors, near corners, air vents, direct sunlight, or heat-generating devices. Installation in these areas could impact thermostat performance. Wiring must conform to all building codes and ordinances as required by local and national code authorities having jurisdiction for this installation.

Always turn off power to the air conditioning and/or heating system prior to installing a thermostat.
Determine the HVAC equipment type. Note to Installer: Circle the type of equipment and give this information to the commissioning agent:

Joining the Zigbee Network

After successfully completing the Installation Test the WTS10 is ready to communicate with the Daintree Wireless Area Controller (WAC) and be commissioned and configured usingthe ControlScope Manager (CSM) web-based application. The thermostat automatically tries to join the WAC network every 5 minutes. The WAC must be commissioned and Add New Devices must be initiated on the WAC before the thermostat can join the ZigBee wireless network. For information about configuring the thermostat using CSM, see the on-line help. Once the thermostat is joined, it ignores its built in schedules. The WAC passes configuration information like set point, heat/ cooling mode, lock levels etc. at the start of each CSM schedule. If the thermostat loses communication with the WAC the following things will happen: (1) Thermostat continues to use the existing configuration set by the WAC. (2) Keypad automatically unlocks after 30 minutes to allow manual changes. (3) If remote temperature sensor(s) are enabled, and the thermostat does not receive a remote temperature report within 15 minutes, it will switch to its built-in temperature sensor.
