Introduction

The T9000 Wireless Temperature Control is a two-

part  wireless  thermostat  system  designed  to  provide 

precision temperature control without the installation 

labor and expense of wiring. Powered by AA batteries, the 

thermostat can operate continuously for approximately 

18 months, and can be mounted in any suitable location 

that  will  provide  good  temperature  control.  A  large 

LCD display (Figure 1) provides the user with current 

room temperature, set point temperature, time, program 

interval, and other system status information. In hotel 

applications,  programming,  clock  set  up  buttons  and 

associated display information are typically not displayed. 

The second part of the T9000 system is called a Remote 

Control Node or “RCN”. An RCN interfaces with specific 

desired HVAC equipment, and communicates with its 

thermostat using unlicensed 900 MHz, radio frequency 

energy. At the time of installation, the T9000 thermostat 

is linked to one or more RCN controls. The thermostat 

and RCN that have been linked will not interfere with, or 

be affected by, any other thermostat or RCN in adjacent 

rooms, apartments, or neighboring homes.

Batteries

Installing/Changing

A low battery icon 

will light on the thermostat 

display  when  the  batteries  are  within  approximately 

one week of being exhausted. The T9000 is designed 

to use standard AA size, 1.5-volt alkaline batteries. If 

the batteries become completely depleted, the heating/

cooling system will go to the “Off” state.

Replacing Batteries

To open the thermostat, use both hands and press the 

two push-tabs on the bottom of the thermostat housing 

with your thumbs while pulling the front of the thermostat 

away from the base (Figure 2)

Figure 2. Opening Thermostat

The  T9000  operates  with  either  two  or  four AA 

batteries.  Four  (4)  batteries  double  the  time  between 

battery changes (the average user can expect 1 to 1.5 

years of battery life). Batteries are paired, one set on top 

of the other (see Figure 3).

Thermostat will operate on either Set A, 

Set B or both. When changing, replace with all 

new batteries. Never use a mix of old and new.

Battery orientation is critical.

Note:

 Do not mix old and new batteries. When 

batteries are changed, replace them all at the same 

time.

Programmed data for heating, cooling and time of 

day will be lost when batteries are completely removed 

or depleted and will have to be re-enterend along with 

resetting the clock. To avoid this, batteries can be replaced 

one set at a time before they are depleted. However, after 

the first set is replaced, immediately replace the second 

set with new batteries.
