Crestron CHV-TSTATRF infiNET™ Thermostat
infiNET™ Thermostat:
CHV-TSTATRF
Introduction
The CHV-TSTATRF is a wireless networked thermostat featuring infiNET™
wireless technology. The CHV-TSTATRF is designed to be installed easily in place
of a conventional thermostat without requiring additional control wiring. Although it
can be used as a standalone thermostat, the CHV-TSTATRF delivers enhanced
functionality as part of a complete Crestron Home®automation system
communicating via the infiNET wireless control network.
The thermostat is available in three colors: the CHV-TSTATRFA in almond, the
CHV-TSTATRFB in black and the CHV-TSTATRFW in white. For simplicity
within this guide, these thermostats are referred to as CHV-TSTATRF. The features
and specifications for all three thermostats are identical.
Features and Functions
• Wall-mounted heat/cool thermostat
• For baseboard, forced air and heat pump (with auxiliary heat) HVAC
systems
• User selectable Auto mode with single or dual setpoint operation*
• Crestron®system integration via infiNET wireless network
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
2.4 GHz infiNET mesh network technology
Range up to 150 feet indoors or 250 feet outdoors
(subject to site-specific conditions)
Range may be increased with the use of additional infiNET devices
or C2N-MNETRPT repeaters
“Wi-Fi” friendly operating frequencies to avoid interference
• Easy to read, backlit LCD display
• Available in white, black or almond
* Auto mode support requires firmware version 1.005.0005 or later.

infiNET™ Thermostat Crestron CHV-TSTATRF
Heat/Cool Thermostat
The CHV-TSTATRF is designed for heating and cooling control of baseboard,
forced air, heat pump and dual-fuel heat pump HVAC systems. The large backlit
LCD display provides a clear view of current temperature, setpoint, system mode,
fan mode, system status and setup functions. Climate-control features include
separate heat and cool setpoints and adjustable anticipators to prevent overshooting
the desired temperature. Continuous fan operation can be selected when needed for
increased circulation.
infiNET™
Creston’s groundbreaking infiNET wireless technology affords reliable two-way
communications throughout a home or office structure without the need for physical
control wiring. Numerous infiNET thermostats and other devices can be linked to a
control system via a single RF gateway. Employing a 2.4 GHz mesh network
topology, every infiNET device functions as an RF repeater, increasing effective
range and reinforcing the complete network by providing multiple redundant signal
paths within the mesh network. In addition, a dedicated repeater (C2N-MNETRPT,
sold separately) can be added to increase the system range.
NOTE: The CHV-TSTATRF must be powered by 24 Volt AC source and have its
power setting on “24” to allow it to function as a repeater.
Automation System Integration
Its wireless connection to the control system allows the functions of the
CHV-TSTATRF to be controlled from touchpanels, keypads, wireless remotes and
computers to support 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-TSTATRF will remain operable to control the HVAC system.
Easy Installation
System design, installation and upgrade using infiNET thermostats along with
lighting dimmers and other devices could not be easier. Since there is no control
wiring required, the CHV-TSTATRF can be installed just like any conventional
thermostat.
Setting up a complete network of infiNET devices is simple, utilizing dynamic
discovery (self-install) to locate and acquire each RF device automatically. Setting
the RF ID of each device employs the same convention as Crestron’s familiar TSID
method. The RF ID can also be set manually from the local display. Each device is
programmable using Crestron 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 network. Each device assigned
to a common gateway automatically behaves as a repeater for any other device
within range (approximately 150 feet indoors) and additional repeaters may be added
if necessary. At all times, the infiNET gateway monitors each device on the network,
ignoring any other 2.4 GHz signals and reconfiguring the entire network
automatically in response to new sources of interference and other changes in RF
conditions.
