Applications
The TEC3000 Series Wireless Single- or Two-Stage Economizer Thermostat Controllers are wireless networked
devices that provide control of the following:
• unitary rooftop units (RTUs)
• unitary RTUs with economizers
• unitary RTUs with heat pumps
• unitary RTUs with economizers and heat pumps
The networked models are compatible with the WNC1800/ZFR182x Pro Series Wireless Field Bus System that
enables remote monitoring and programming for efficient space temperature control.All models include a USB port
configuration that reduces installation time by allowing simple backup and restore features from a USB drive, which
enables rapid cloning of configuration between like units.
Some models have occupancy sensing capability built into the device. These thermostat controllers maximize up to
30% energy savings in high-energy usage commercial buildings, such as schools and hotels, during occupied
times by using additional standby setpoints.
All models feature an intuitive UI with backlit display that makes setup and operation quick and easy. Only the
single-speed fan configuration is supported for fan coil equipment types.

Location Considerations
Locate the TEC3000 Series Wireless Thermostat Controller:
• on a partitioning wall, approximately 5 ft (1.5 m) above the floor in a location of average temperature, allowing
for vertical air circulation to the TEC
• away from direct sunlight, radiant heat, outside walls, outside doors, air discharge grills, stairwells, and from
behind doors
• away from steam or water pipes, warm air stacks, unconditioned areas (not heated or cooled), or sources of
electrical interference
• outside of a recessed area, metal enclosure, or shelving unit
• on the same building level as the other wireless devices on the same personal area network (PAN)
• at least 2 in. (51 mm) away from any metal obstruction
• in the direct line of sight to other wireless devices on the same PAN. Signal transmission is best if the path
between the TEC3000 and other wireless devices is direct as possible. Line of sight is desirable but not
required. See Table 1 for recommended and maximum distances.
• away from metal and large solid obstructions (including equipment rooms and elevator shafts and concrete or
brick walls) between the TEC3000 and the ZFR Pro Router/Repeater or ZFR Pro Coordinator Radio
• in a clear path between the integrated passive infrared (PIR) occupancy sensor (if equipped) and the space
being monitored
• within range of two or more wireless devices on the same PAN. Redundancy in the layout provides the best
reliability in wireless installations
• at least 20 ft (6 m) from a microwave oven
The effective transmission range and distance for indoor applications vary because of wireless signal absorption
and reflection due to metal obstructions, walls or floors, and furniture found in typical building interiors.
For integrated passive infrared (PIR) models, ensure that the thermostat controller is located centrally where
occupant movement is frequent, and where the unit is not blocked by a plastic tamper resistant enclosure (such as
the GRD10A-608). The plastic enclosure blocks the occupancy sensing capability.
Note: For more details on using ZFR Pro Series devices, refer to the WNC1800/ZFR182x Pro Series Wireless
Field Bus System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12012356).

Note: Allow for sufficient clearance to insert a USB
drive into the USB port.
Use insulating foam pads for installations where
wiring passes through the wall to the thermostat.
Installing the Thermostat Controller
1. Use a 1/16 in. (1.5 mm)Allen wrench or Johnson Controls® T-4000-119 Allen-Head Adjustment Tool (order
separately) to remove the security screw if it is installed on the top of the thermostat controller cover as
illustrated in Figure 2.
2. Pull the top edge of the cover and open the thermostat controller as illustrated in Figure 2.
IMPORTANT: Only connect memory devices to the USB port. Do not use it for charging external devices.
IMPORTANT: The cover is not secured on the bottom. Be careful not to drop the cover.
IMPORTANT: If you are installing more than one thermostat controller, keep track of which cover attaches to
which base. The CPU board number needs to match the Base board number. Otherwise you will encounter an
operation error after you reattach a cover and base that do not belong together as shown in Figure 4. See
Table 2 for TEC3000 model names and code numbers.
IMPORTANT: Use proper Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions during installation and servicing to avoid
damage to the electronic circuits of the thermostat controller.

3. Align the thermostat controller mounting base on the wall with the security screw on the top and use the base
as a template to mark the two mounting hole locations. See Figure 3.
Notes:
• If you need to install the thermostat controller on an electrical junction box, use
2-1/2 x 4 in. (63 x 101 mm) square boxes with mud ring covers and avoid smaller 1-1/2 x 4 in.
(38 x 101 mm) square or 3 x 2 in. (76 x 51 mm) boxes. This procedure ensures that you have enough
space for cabling, if needed.
• For surface-mounted applications, use durable mounting hardware, such as wall anchors, that cannot be
easily pulled out of the mounting surface.
4. Pull approximately 6 in. (152 mm) of wire from the wall and insert the wire through the center hole in the
thermostat controller mounting base. See Figure 3.
5. Secure the mounting base to the wall surface using two mounting screws (user supplied) as illustrated in
Figure 3.

Wiring
When an existing thermostat controller is replaced, remove and label the wires to identify the terminal functions.
To wire the thermostat controller:
1. Strip the ends of each wire 1/4 in. (6 mm) and connect them to the appropriate screw terminals as indicated in
Table 3 and Figure 5 and Figure 6.
2. Carefully push any excess wire back into the wall.
Note: Seal the hole in the wall with fireproof material to prevent drafts from affecting the ambient temperature
readings.
3. Reattach the wires to the terminal block.
Note: If multiple wires are inserted into the terminals, be sure to properly twist the wires together before
inserting them into the terminal connectors.
Risk of Electric Shock.
Disconnect the power supply before making electrical connections to avoid electric shock.
Risque de décharge électrique.
Débrancher l'alimentation avant de réaliser tout raccordement électrique afin d'éviter tout risque de décharge
