tN4 Communication

In order to prevent heating and cooling at the same time, 
this thermostat can operate together with other thermostats 
on a tN4 system to form a cool group.

This thermostat can be set as the cool group master. The 
cool group master operates the cooling equipment for 
the group. Other thermostats can be set to be members 
of the cool group. 

When operating as a cool group, the air temperature 
readings of all the cool group member thermostats are 
communicated to the cool group master and a temperature 
average is determined.

This thermostat shows this cool group average temperature 
as the “Room” temperature while the mode is set to Cool, 
or the mode is set to Auto and the thermostat is allowing 
cooling operation. In all other modes, the cool group 
master thermostat measures and displays the built-in 
“local” temperature sensor measurement.

Fluctuations in the displayed “Room” temperature may 
occur during automatic mode switch over when the display 

changes from using the local temperature for heating to 
using the cool group average temperature for cooling.

When this thermostat is set to Cool mode or is cooling in 
Auto mode, the cooling system is operated to maintain 
the Set Room Cool setpoint and all thermostats in the 
cool group do not operate for air heating. However, cool 
group member thermostats that have a floor minimum 
temperature set are able to continue heating.

This thermostat is the master of cool group number 1 when 
switch setting 3 is set to cool master 1 (Off position).

Backlight

The backlight turns on for 30 seconds once a button is 
pressed.

Warm Weather Shut Down

The thermostat indicates warm weather shut down 
using the 

WWSD

 icon. The WWSD feature prevents the 

heating system from operating if the outdoor temperature 
is above the WWSD temperature. The WWSD feature is 

activated by the tN4 System Control. In order to disable 
the WWSD, the tN4 System Control’s WWSD setting 
must be adjusted.

Freeze Protection

In any event that the room temperature should fall below 
40°F (4.5°C), the heating is turned on.

Cycles Per Hour

When the thermostat is on a tN4 bus together with a tN4 
System Control, the thermostat operates the heating system 
on the cycles per hour determined by the tN4 System 
Control. The thermostat automatically determines the 
cycles per hour when operating the cooling system.

When the thermostat is not in communication with a tN4 
System Control, the Heating Cycles Per Hour setting in the 
Adjust menu allows the installer to select Auto or Sync.

When set to Auto, the thermostat automatically determines 
the cycles per hour.

When set to Sync, the thermostat synchronizes to cycle 
with other thermostats on the tN4 bus.

Synchronization

When the thermostat is on a tN4 bus together with a tN4 
System Control, all the thermostats are synchronized to 
start heating at the same time. This improves efficiency 
of the heating system by reducing short cycles.

When the thermostat is not in communication with a tN4 
System Control, the Heating Cycles Per Hour setting in the 
Adjust menu allows the installer to select Auto or Sync.

When set to Sync, the thermostat synchronizes with other 
thermostats on the tN4 bus.

When set to Auto, the thermostat does not synchronize 
with other thermostats.
