THERMOSTAT PROGRAMMING

This thermostat is easily changed from non-programmable to programmable operation in Service Menu 100. See the Operating Maunal for detailed instructions on setting up schedules. In non-programmable mode the thermostat controls to a single setpoint with the dead-band used for auto changeover from Heat to Cool.

OUTPUT OPERATION

The T8168 uses System Types for control of 24 VAC ON-OFF fans and relays; three wire floating and proportional 0-10 VDC fans, valves and dampers.

  • ON-OFF outputs have a 1°F Differential.
  • Proportional outputs use a Proportional Integral Algorithm to modulate the position of the actuator over 2°F.
  • Three Wire Floating outputs have an adjustable stroke time that is set in Service Menu 114. The default is 2 minutes.
  • When using Three Wire Floation (TWF) System Types wait 3 times the value set for Valve Stroke Time, set in SM 114, for normal operation to begin.

FAN AND DAMPER OPERATION

The T8168 offers either ON-OFF or 0-10 VDC fan operation, as follows:
ON/OFF FAN Operation (Service Menu 112 Selection 0)
The thermostat will provide up to 3 fan speeds. In this operation there is no proportional fan output, terminal GD is disabled. Selectable fan speeds are controlled by Service Menu 110.
0-10 VDC FAN HI-MED-LOW Operation (Service Menu 112 Selection 1) User selection of 0-10 VDC (or 4-20mA) fan speed is as follows:

  • HI – Set in SM 125 for heating and SM 126 for cooling.
  • MED – Controls at the midpoint between the HI and LO settings.
  • LO – Set in SM 127.
    A delay of fan speed transition after adjustment can be set in SM 113.

Proportional 0-10 VDC Operation (Service Menu 112 Selection 2)
The 0-10 VDC fan will range between MAX and MIN Voltages (SM 125,126,127) based on the PI algorithm, the active demand and selected limits. Display of HI-MED-LO is suppressed. User selection is limited to FAN ON or FAN AUTO, depending on configuration.

Damper Operation (Service Menu 111)
A damper output is available when terminal G1 is not being used as a fan speed. Cycled vs continuous operation is determined in SM 111.

Staged Fan Operation (Service Menu 350)
Available for multi-fan and 0-10 VDC fan operation. When active, the user does not have access to fan speed.

Programmable Fan Operation (Service Menu 500)
This feature changes the fan operation to ON (continuous) during scheduled Occupied events. TIP: Disable Fan ON selection in SM 350 to ensure cycled operation in unoccupied scheduled events.

Intermittent Fan Operation (Service Menus 500, 501, 502)
Provides minimum timed fan operation by cycling the fan on and off.

KEYPAD LOCK OUT
The keypad lockout function blocks access to features by hiding them from the user’s view/selectability. Service Menu 340 has 3 levels of lock out. If a PIN is used to enter the Service Menu, all key pad lockouts will be disabled for a period of five minutes.

SETBACK
An occupancy sensor can be used between S1 & SC terminals to change the thermostat control points to Setback Low (SM 310) and Setback High (SM 320). A contact closure is used to signal a Setback requirement. In Setback the fan will cycle on at the lowest available speed. This feature is not available when using a remote sensor.

FAN COIL 2-PIPE/ 4-PIPE OPERATION
Service Menu 171 sets 2-pipe or 4-pipe fan coil operation.

2-Pipe Operation

2-Pipe Operation| Summer

(Cold Water or Open Input)

| Winter

(Hot Water or Closed Input)

---|---|---
Stage 1 Cool Y1 & YD| Cool| Heat
Stage 1 Heat W1 & WD| Disabled| Disabled

2-pipe operation disables W1 and WD outputs. Y1 and YD are used for first stage of cool in summer and first stage of heat in winter.

4-Pipe Operation| Summer

(Cold Water or Open Input)

| Winter

(Hot Water or Closed Input)

---|---|---
Stage 1 Cool Y1 & YD| Cool| Heat
Stage 1 Heat W1 & WD| Heat| Disabled

4-pipe operation uses both first stage Cool (Y1 & YD) and first stage Heat (W1 & WD) when chilled water (Summer) is available. When hot water (Winter) is available W1 and WD outputs are disabled and Y1 and YD are used for first stage of heating. Second stages are available, depending on system type.

PIPE SENSOR: SEASONAL CHANGE OVER
This feature is enabled when 2-pipe or 4-pipe operation is selected in Service Menu 171. With a pipe sensor connected to the T8168, the system will automatically change from Summer (cold water) to Winter (hot water) operation based on water temperature in the main piping riser. This input is looking for a valid temperature reading when using a pipe sensor, or a contact open/close if using an aqua-stat.

  • Summer operation is enabled if the input is open or if the sensed temperature is below the threshold selection in SM 172.
  • Winter operation is enabled if the input is closed or if the sensed temperature is above the threshold selection in SM 173.

If the water temperature sensed is between selections in SM 172 and SM 173 the water temperature is considered Ambiguous. The Y1 and YD outputs will be turned on for 3-minutes. After the 3 minute purge cycle, the thermostat checks again to see if the water temperature is Summer or Winter. If yes, the thermostat will transition to normal operation. If no, the operation is base on selection at Service Menu 174.
NOTE: If at any time the demand goes away, the thermostat will abort the purge cycle.

SYSTEM FLUSH FOR FAN COIL VALVES
Enable a periodic opening of valve(s) to flush valves and reduce sediment buildup using Service Menus 375, 376 and 377.

ACCESSORY SENSOR CONNECTIONS
S1 Input: connect optional remotes sensing, occupancy detection, door open or fault notification.

  • For Remote Probe use, including sensor averaging between the onboard sensor and the remote sensor, see SM 170.
  • For occupancy, door open or fault notification see SM 175

S2 Input: uses a a PECO pipe sensor or dry switch aqua-stat for use on fan coil seasonal change over.
