SiteSage Smart Thermostat TM46 Installation Guide

This thermostat is compatible with most HVAC systems, including the following:

  • 24VAC systems Note: requires both the 24R and 24C (common) wires

  • Standard gas/oil/electric heating systems

    • 1 stage heating and cooling

    • 2 stage heating and cooling

  • Heat Pump systems:

    • 1 stage heating and cooling

    • 2 stage heating and cooling

    • 2nd or 3rd stage Auxiliary heating (heat strips)

  • Do NOT use for line voltage controls (120/240VAC)

 

Stop! Before removing your existing thermostat do the following:

  1. Take a picture of the original wires and terminal connections

  2. Label the wires with the terminal markings on the old thermostat

  3. Record old thermostat terminals and the wire color connected to them below

Thermostat Setup:
Standard Gas/Electric HVAC Systems To set the HVAC system type, go to the Thermostat Info screen
and press Setup button

  1. Type. Set the HVAC System Type: set to Gas/Elec

  2. Fan Type. Set the HVAC Fan Type:
    Set to Gas for typical gas furnace (fan is controlled by the furnace)
    Set to Elec for electric heat (fan call with heat call)

  3. C/O type. Not used for standard systems. Ignore this setting.

  4. 2nd Stage Heat. Enable second stage heating outputs
    If you have a single stage heating system, leave this set to N
    If you have a 2 stage heating system, set to Y to enable.

  5. Aux Heat (HP). Not used for standard systems. Ignore this setting

  6. 2nd Stage Cool. Enable second stage cooling outputs
    If you have a single stage cooling system, leave this set to N.
    If you have a two stage cooling system, set to Y to enable.

Default Setup:

·          Gas/Elec

·          Gas Heat

To set the HVAC system type, go to the Thermostat Info screen
and press Setup button.

  1. Type. Set the HVAC System Type: set to Heat Pump

  2. Fan Type. Automatically set for heat pump systems. Ignore this setting.

  3. C/O type. Change Over (reversing) Valve Type. Heat pumps change from heating to cooling by reversing operation.
    You must configure the thermostat’s changeover valve setting to work correctly with your HVAC system.
    Check your system information to be sure and note the color of original thermostat wire and the terminal it was connected to.
    No matter what the old stat connection was (O or B), connect the wire to the thermostats W2/O terminal.
    The setting of the C/O Type will set the correct system operation.
    For change over with cool systems (Orange wire, O terminal): set C/O type to w/cool (most common and default setting)
    For change over with heat systems (Brown wire, B terminal): set C/O type to w/heat

  4. 2nd Stage Heat. Enable second stage heating outputs
    If you have a single stage heating system, leave this set to N
    If you have a 2 stage heating system, set to Y to enable.

  5. Aux Heat (HP). If you have auxiliary heat strips, set this to Y to enable.

  6. 2nd Stage Cool. Enable second stage cooling outputs
    If you have a single stage cooling system, leave this set to N.
    If you have a two stage cooling system, set to Y to enable.

Note! If you get heating when you expected cooling, change the C/O type to the opposite setting.

 

Installation Setup

Before operating the system, the HVAC System Type must be setup in the Installer Settings/System Settings/Mechanical Settings Menu!

Default Settings: The HVAC System Type is default set for a Gas/Electric system with Gas Heat Fan type. If this matches the HVACsystem the thermostat is connected to, then no further setup is required.

If the HVAC system has Electric heat or is a Heat Pump system, then the Mechanical Settings must be changed to match. Go to the Installer Settings Menu to complete the HVAC setup.

HVAC Setup Settings

Set these settings to match the HVAC system the thermostat is connected to.

 

Type         Selects HVAC type, Gas/Electric or Heat pump (HP) Options: Gas/Elec or Heat pump             Default: Gas/Elec

 

Fan Type (if Type=Gas/Elec) Selects the heating system Fan type Options: Gas or Electric (heat)             Default: Gas

 

C/O Type (if Type=HP) Selects the Changeover Valve type for Heat Pump systems Options: w/Cool or w/Heat         Default: w/Cool

 

For retrofit installations, refer to the existing thermostat connections to help determine correct C/O type setting. If the original system had an orange wire connected to an “O” terminal, then it is a “changeover with cool” system. If there is a brown wire connected to the “B” terminal, then it is a “change over with heat” system. NOTE: if you get cooling when expect heating (or heating when you expect cooling), change the C/O type to the other selection.

 

2nd Stage Heat Enables the 2nd Stage Heating operation Options: Y or N Default: N

 

Aux Heat (if Type=HP) Enables Auxiliary Heat (heat strips) operation.

Options: Y or N                                     Default: Y

 

2nd Stage Cool Enables the 2nd Stage Cooling operation Options: Y or N Default: N

 

Other Installer Settings

The Installer Settings Menu includes other HVAC operation settings that can customize the thermostat for the installation. CAUTION: these settings affect HVAC system operation and should only be changed by qualified HVAC service technicians.

 

Installer Settings Menu Items

 

Display Lock          Options: Y or N       Default: N Y = Display LOCKED N = Display UNLOCKED
