Introduction
Congratulations on choosing the UbiquiSTAT™ room controller! The UbiqiSTAT series of controllers are feature rich,
multifunction touchscreen devices providing extensive controls across a wide range of HVAC applications.
This manual includes all the information necessary to install and wire your UbiquiSTAT room controller. It includes a
breakdown of the input and output wiring for each type of connection.
After installing your UbiquiSTAT, refer to the
for instructions on the basic setup of the
device. Refer to the
UbiquiSTAT Configuration Guide
for instructions on configuring the device, the communications
network and other devices connected to this controller. Refer to the
UbiquiSTAT BACnet Explorer Guide
for advanced
information on using the built-in BACnet Explorer to edit the device's BACnet programming objects directly.
If you have any questions regarding your UbiquiSTAT room controller, do not hesitate to contact TCS Technical Support at
800-288-9383, ext. 2. Our Technical Support Department hours are Monday – Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (CST).
Opening the UbiquiSTAT
The UbiquiSTAT consists of a base containing wiring terminal blocks and relays, and a front cover containing the
touchscreen and all other circuitry. It is shipped unassembled. Each base and cover pair are serialized together; if you are
installing multiple UbiquiSTATs, do
NOT
mix and match bases and covers.
To remove the UbiquiSTAT cover once assembled, insert a small plastic pry tool or flathead screwdriver between the front
cover and base on the bottom of the thermostat. Carefully run the tool along the seam until the halves separate.
Mounting the UbiquiSTAT
Mount the base of your UbiquiSTAT room controller on a vertical wall using two #6 sheet metal screws, either over a 2"
x 4" or 4" x 4" junction box, or directly to the wall. For best results, select an interior wall that represents a normal room
environment, at a height of about 48" from the floor. Mount the unit in a location which is accessible for adjusting settings.
For best temperature measurement accuracy, avoid areas that are exposed to direct sunlight, unusual heating or cooling
sources, open doors and windows, unventilated locations, and hot or cold air from diffusers. If you are using a remote
room sensor, mount it in the same manner.
Powering the UbiquiSTAT
The UbiquiSTAT is powered from 24 VAC +15%/–5% and draws up to 10VA. If wiring for communications, you must use
dedicated power (transformer) to the unit. Several TCS controllers may be powered from the same transformer, provided
the transformer has sufficient power and you maintain proper polarity. While the UbiquiSTAT may be powered from the
HVAC unit controller, using a dedicated power source will avoid any potential ground loop issues between equipment
transformers.
When the UbiquiSTAT is used as a stand-alone thermostat without communications, the equipment transformer may be
used to power it. To do this, install a jumper between the “R” (Packaged Unit Terminations) and “+24” (Power) terminals.
The “–24” (Power) terminal must then be connected to the common side of the equipment transformer.
