Mode of Operation

Testing the Thermostat

Once the thermostat is configured, it should be thoroughly tested. 
 

 

Note:

 

If using pipe sensors, verify pipe sensor is within range to output. Check pipe 
temperature by pressing the 

UP

 and 

DOWN

 buttons simultaneously.

Heat Test (For systems with heat)

1. Press 

SYS

 button until heat mode is displayed.

2. Adjust the set temperature so it is 5 degrees above the room temperature.
3. Heat should come on within a few seconds.
4. Adjust the set temperature 2 degrees below the room temperature and the heat should turn off. 

There may be a fan delay on your system.

Cool Test (For systems with cooling)

1. Press 

SYS

 (left) button until cool mode is displayed. 

2. Adjust set temperature so it is 5 degrees below room temperature.
3. Cooling should come on within a few seconds.
4. Adjust the set temperature 2 degrees above the room temperature and the cool should turn off. 

There may be a fan delay on your system.

Fan Test (Continuous fan mode only, configuration setting #5)

1. Press 

FAN

 button. Fan displays. Fan turns ON.

2. Press 

FAN

 button. Fan turns OFF.

Operating Modes

There are four possible operating modes for the 

SC900V

OFF

Cool

Heat

, and

 Cool & Heat

 modes 

are accessed by pressing the 

SYS

 button. 

 

 

Note:

 

The modes you can access are based on your configuration.

The 

SC900V

 high voltage fan coil thermostat can be used for two pipe or four pipe systems. It can 

control heat only, cool only or heat & cool systems. A pipe sensor can be used for two pipe systems to 
verify the system is operating or automatically change to the correct operating mode. The thermostat 
is configurable for all fan coil systems. The configuration setup is used to match the thermostat to 
your system and turn on the features you want to utilize.
The thermostat can be setup for continuous fan or automatic fan. Continuous fan operates on the 
fan speed that you have selected. You can turn the fan off in OFF mode when in continuous fan. 
Automatic fan adjusts to the appropriate fan speed based on the set temperature and the room 
temperature. The further the room temperature is away from the set point temperature the faster the 
fan will operate. 
The 

SC900V

 incorporates several hotel card and unoccupied options. These features can be untilized 

to change the heat and cool set points to configured unoccupied set points when the room is empty.
A lock feature can be enabled so the setting can not be tampered with. A valve purge feature can be 
used to cycle the valve so water does not become stagnant and to stop valves from sticking.

Lockout Feature

The 

SC900V

 has a button lockout feature so the mode cannot be changed 

and the temperature adjustment is limited. Select the appropriate lockout 
from Configuration Mode Settings (Step 15) of this guide.
To activate the 

LOCK

 feature:

1.  Press the 

SYS

 button in, then press the 

PROG

 button in also. Hold 

both in for 10 seconds

2.   will display and the lockout function will be enabled.
To deactivate the 

LOCK

 feature, repeat steps 1 and 2 above.

Troubleshooting

Symptom

Remedy

No display

Check for voltage at thermostat; display is blank when 
voltage is not present

System fan does not come on 
properly

Verify wiring is correct, check connections are correct 
(see Configuration Mode Setting 5)

Thermostat turns on and off too 
frequently

Adjust temperature differential  
(see Configuration Mode Setting 10)

Room temperature is not correct

Calibrate thermostat (see Configuration Mode Setting 14) 
If remote sensor is used, check connections

displays when any button is 
pressed

Thermostat has the button lockout function activated  
(see Lockout Feature and Configuration Mode Setting 15)

- - 

on display instead of room 
temperature

Check for a bad connection if remote sensor is used 
(see Configuration Mode Setting 4)

Heat or Cool not coming on

(No pipe sensor)

Verify wiring is correct, gently pull on each wire to verify 
there is a good connection, verify configuration settings

Heat or Cool not coming on

(Pipe sensor connected)

Check pipe sensor temperature by pressing up and down 
buttons in – if out of range, outputs may not turn on (see 
Configuration Mode Settings 6-9)
