Make a thermostat the primary thermostat for an air zone
When you have air zones in your home, the primary thermostat temperature readings and setpoints are used to
adjust equipment to reach and hold the setpoint temperature of the room where the current primary thermostat is
located. This means that all the rooms in that air zone will be heated or cooled at the same time regardless of the
settings or temperature in each individual room.
To see all the rooms (thermostats) contained in an air zone:
1.
Click the
Air Zone
tab.
To see which thermostat is the primary in an air zone
:
1.
Review the primary icons on the Air Zone Thermostat list, or the
Primary Settings
tab on any thermostat
within the air zone you are interested in.
There are two ways to make a thermostat the primary for an air zone:
Through any Touch Panel Interface
: When you adjust the current setpoint of a thermostat on the
Thermostat screen, if that thermostat is not currently the primary, the system will ask if you want to make it
the primary for the air zone. If you choose
Yes
, that thermostat will be made the primary. If you choose
No
,
the setpoint will be changed but that thermostat will not be made the primary.
Through a standard thermostat panel
: Make an adjustment on a standard thermostat panel in a room in an
air zone. If you make any adjustment to a thermostat in a room in an air zone, it will automatically make that
thermostat (room) the primary for that air zone.
In some cases you may want a thermostat to never be the primary. For example, in a child's room you might set
the thermostat to never be the primary.
To set a thermostat as the primary thermostat for a zone:
1.
Click the
button.
2.
Click a thermostat.
