CONTROLLER IDENTIFICATION

Once the SMZ1 is properly installed and recognized by the LCI, the LCI touchscreen is used to configure the settings of 
the controller and to monitor the Inputs, Outputs and Alarms. This section describes the commands available on the 
LCI for monitoring/configuration of the SMZ1, and the meanings and suggested values for controller parameters. For 
more information on using the LCI, see the 

iWorX LCI User’s Guide.

Network Inputs 

The SMZ1 allows a network manager to write to Network Input Variables for the purpose of overriding the configuration, 
operation and outputs of the SMZ1. The variables are listed below and in Table

 

1 on page

 20.

Values written to NVIs have absolute priority over any other controller operation.

nviOccCmd

 overrides the occupancy as obtained from the thermostat. Writing to this variable will also be reflected 

in the controller’s output of the occupancy mode. Note that this is NOT the occupancy sensor. The occupancy sen-
sor hardware input (OCC) will still be displayed on the LCI based on its configuration.

nviResetRuntime

 is a command to reset the fan, heating and cooling runtimes. If the value sent is 0, then no reset 

occurs; if the value sent is 1, then the runtimes are reset.

nviSysTime

 is a time stamp to set the date and time. Writing to this variable will change the time on the device and 

will affect all time-related functions such as schedules.

This screen list all the inputs on the SMZ1. These values cannot be changed.
