infiNET EX Thermostat (Fan Coil Unit): CHV-TSTATEX-FCU Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 7206C
Fan Coil Unit Support
The CHV-TSTATEX-FCU infiNET EX thermostat provides the functionality of
controlling fan coil units1. The CHV-TSTATEX-FCU has custom firmware, display
programming and terminal labels designed for 3-speed fan applications. The
CHV-TSTATEX-FCU supports on/off control of the valves and the fan in 4-pipe fan
coil applications, eliminating the need for an additional device dedicated to
controlling the fan coil unit itself.
infiNET EX Communications
Built on steadfast infiNET™ technology, infiNET EX is the new standard in 2-way
wireless connectivity that can handle installations in even the most urban settings.
The redundant nature of its mesh networking technology means that a command is
never missed, resulting in faultless operation - something that is of the utmost
importance when it comes to HVAC control and home automation. The
CHV-TSTATEX-FCU harnesses this cutting edge wireless connectivity which
affords it a level of robustness and dependability above other solutions.
Automation System Integration
The wireless connection to the control system allows the functions of the
CHV-TSTATEX-FCU to be controlled from touch screens, keypads, wireless
remotes, computers, or even a mobile device. It supports unlimited flexibility for
remote control, scheduling, and integration with other devices and systems.
However, in the event that communication with the control system is disrupted for
any reason, the CHV-TSTATEX-FCU remains operable to control the HVAC
system.
Easy Installation
System design and installation using infiNET EX thermostats could not be easier.
Since no control wires are required, the CHV-TSTATEX-FCU can be installed just
like any conventional thermostat.
To simplify installation, physical switches are provided for the most critical
configuration options including heat/cool type, heat pump behavior, power settings,
number of heating/cooling stages, and fan options. These settings allow HVAC
contractors to install and test the thermostats prior to the appearance of a Crestron
system integrator.
An infiNET EX gateway such as the CEN-RFGW-EX or MC3 (both sold separately)
is needed for communications. Setting up a complete network of infiNET EX
devices is simple, utilizing dynamic discovery (self-install) to locate and acquire
each RF device automatically. Setting the ID of each device employs the same
convention as Crestron's familiar TSID (touch-settable ID) method, and each device
is programmable using Crestron Studio™, SIMPL Windows, SystemBuilder™ or
D3 Pro®software just like any wired Cresnet®device. Even firmware updates are
performed over the wireless network.
No further action is required to configure the infiNET EX network. Each device
assigned to a common gateway automatically behaves as a wireless expander2for
any other devices within range (approximately 150 feet (~46 meters) indoors), and
additional expanders may be added if necessary. The infiNET EX gateway monitors
each device on the network at all times, ignoring any other 2.4 GHz signals. It
reconfigures the entire network automatically in response to new sources of
interference and other changes in RF conditions.
1. 4- pipe fan coil units are supported.
2. CHV-TSTATEX-FCU must be powered by a 24 volt source to enable repeater functionality.
