Crestron Horizon HZ-THSTAT User manual

The Crestron® HZ-THSTAT is a versatile, wall-mounted heating and
cooling thermostat with integrated humidistat capable of controlling
two stage heat/cool systems, two stage heat pump systems with two
auxiliary heat stages, floor warming systems, and humidity systems. A
Wi-Fi® thermostat, the HZ-THSTAT delivers enhanced functionality
when combined with a complete Crestron automation system.
When the HZ-THSTAT is paired with the HZA-CONV-THSTAT-2WIRE
Common Wire Adapter accessory (sold separately), the thermostat can
be used in installations without a common wire. The HZ-THSTAT has
local temperature and humidity sensors and accommodates up to four
remote temperature sensors (CHV-RTS,CHV-RSS,CHVI-RTS-1G-N-W,
and CHVI-RTS-1G-SM-W, sold separately) and up to two remote
temperature/humidity sensors (CHV-RTHS, sold separately) for
optimized performance and flexibility. The HZ-THSTAT is also
compatible with 10k thermistors.

Install the Thermostat
NOTE: Installers should have a strong working knowledge of HVAC
systems.
The thermostat can be mounted directly to drywall, a low voltage
mounting bracket (not included), or to an electrical box (not included)
for new or old work applications.
Determine the Mounting Location
Install the thermostat away from direct sunlight, drafts, doorways,
skylights, and windows. Also, make sure that the thermostat is
conveniently located for control access and setup.
Follow the mounting requirements below:
lMount 60 in. (~1.6 m) above the finished floor; this is an HVAC
industry standard.
lOn each side of the thermostat, allow at least 12 in. of lateral
clearance to any wall features, such as corners or molding.
lDo not mount on an exterior wall.
A cutout template is included and a mounting depth of 1.50 in. (38 mm)
is required.

Cutout Template
NOTE: For drywall installations, use the included drywall anchors.
Make sure to use the outer screw holes on the back plate. For electrical
box and low voltage mounting bracket (not included) installations, use
the inner screw holes on the back plate.
Mount to an Electrical Box or Low Voltage Mounting
Bracket
For applications with an existing electrical box or low voltage mounting
bracket:
1. Turn the HVAC system power off.
2. If there is an existing thermostat, take a picture or label the existing
wire configuration before removing the old thermostat.
3. Skip to step 7 in the following procedure.
Mount the thermostat to an electrical box or low voltage mounting
bracket:
NOTE: Use a stud finder to avoid any studs behind the wall.
1. Turn the HVAC system power off.
2. Level the box or bracket and draw a cutout template for the
appropriate size.
For an electrical box, trace the outside of the box
For the low voltage mounting bracket, trace the inside of the bracket
or use the corner holes for markings.
3. Use a utility knife to cut around the outline of the drawn template.
4. Keep retracing the outline cutting deeper until penetrating the back
paper of the drywall. Clear away the excess drywall.
NOTE: Identify the wall type as Insulated (packed with insulation)
or Non-Insulated (hollow). Assigning the wall type is necessary for
Installer Settings configuration.
5. Push the box or bracket through the mounting hole.
6. Tighten the retaining screws until the box or bracket is held firmly in
place.
7. Pull the wires through the thermostat backplate, and push the
backplate into the box or bracket.

8. Using the mounting screws (included), screw the backplate to the box
or bracket. Do not overtighten.
NOTE: Use the included washers to prevent overtightening when
installing to a new work electrical box.
9. Wire the backplate. Refer to the Connect the Device section.
10. Plug the wire hole on the back of the thermostat with the included
foam insulation. Refer to the Wiring Diagrams section.
11. Attach the thermostat to the backplate.

Mount to Drywall
For retrofit applications replacing an existing thermostat, turn the
HVAC system power off and take a picture or label the current wire
configuration before dismantling the current thermostat.
NOTES: When replacing a thermostat that was mounted to drywall
with anchors, consider the following options:
lmove the installation up or down 1 in. from the existing position to
avoid interference between the new and old anchor positions
or
luse a low voltage mounting bracket (not included)
Mount the thermostat to drywall:
NOTE: Use a stud finder to avoid any studs behind the wall.
1. Turn the HVAC system power off.
2. Cut out the center rectangle of the included cutout template.
3. Level the cutout template against the mounting surface, and trace
the inside rectangle.
4. Mark the anchor locations.
5. Use a utility knife to cut around the outline of the drawn template.
6. Keep retracing the outline cutting deeper until penetrating the back
paper of the drywall. Clear away the excess drywall.
NOTE: Identify the wall type as Insulated (packed with insulation)
or Non-Insulated (hollow). Assigning the wall type is necessary for
Installer Settings configuration.
7. Screw in both self-tapping anchors (included) through the locations
marked earlier.
8. Pull the wires through the thermostat backplate, and push the
backplate into the mounting hole.
9. Using the mounting screws (included), screw the backplate to the
anchors. Do not overtighten.
10. Wire the backplate. Refer to the Connect the Device section.
11. Plug the wire hole on the back of the thermostat with the included
foam insulation. Refer to the Wiring Diagrams section.
12. Attach the thermostat to the backplate.

Connect the Device
Make the necessary connections as called out in the illustrations. A
miniature flathead screwdriver (not supplied) may be required to attach
thinner gauged wires to the backplate terminals. Press the terminal
release with the flathead screwdriver while inserting the wires.
Apply power after all connections have been made.
CAUTION: To avoid a possible short circuit, ensure excess wire is
pushed back through the hole in the backplate.
NOTES:
lThis device is rated for 24VAC operation.
lFor installations without a common wire, the
HZA-CONV-THSTAT-2WIRE 2-wire power adapter (sold
separately) may be used. Refer to the Connect the Device section
for wiring details.
R CONNECTIONS Switch
The thermostat pulls power from both R terminals and the C terminal.
The position of the R Connections switch decides which R connection is
routed to the heat calls (W/W2).
NOTES:
lWhen using the HZA-CONV-THSTAT-2WIRE, always make
connections to the R/RC terminals and set the switch to R/RC
ONLY.
lWhen power is not available from the HVAC system, a separate
24VAC transformer can be connected between the RH and C
terminals to provide power to the thermostat. Set the R
Connections switch to R/RC ONLY to ensure all calls use the R/RC
reference.
Before attaching the thermostat, note the position of the R
CONNECTIONS switch.
lFor one R connection (24VAC reference), wire to the R/RC terminal
and set the switch to R/RC ONLY.
lFor two R connections (24VAC reference), wire to the R/RC and RH
terminals and set the switch to SEPARATE.

lWiring a Local Power Source
After wiring the thermostat, plug the wire hole on the back of the
thermostat with the included foam insulation. The insulation prevents
drafts and ensures accurate temperature readings.
NOTE: For Radiant Floor, if the Radiant type is Floor Warming, Space
Heating, or Floor Warm/Space Heat, always connect the radiant floor
call wire to W2. Space Heating or Floor Warm/Space Heat will always
use the radiant floor as the first stage of heat.
