Model TBZ500
Battery Powered Z-Wave Thermostat
This thermostat is compatible with most HVAC systems, including the following:
24VAC systems Note: requires both the R and C wires unless battery powered.
Standard gas/oil/electric heating systems
o1 stage heating and cooling
o2 stage heating and cooling
Heat Pump systems:
o1 stage heating and cooling
o2 stage heating and cooling
o2nd or 3rd stage Auxiliary heating (heat strips)
Do NOT use for line voltage controls (120/240VAC)
The thermostat can be powered by batteries or 24VAC.
Battery Power
The thermostat can be powered by four AA Alkaline batteries. The thermostat will operate
for approximately two years on four AA Alkaline batteries depending on the frequency of
user operations and backlight operation. Always use Alkaline batteries and replace in
complete all four at a time with new batteries.
Z-Wave Operation when Battery Powered
Important Note: If the thermostat is installed on a Z-Wave network, while it is battery
powered,it will not work as a Z-Wave repeater.
24VAC Power
Powering the thermostat with 24VAC power requires both the C wire (24VAC common
wire - typically blue) and the R wire (24VAC hot wire - typically red). If the C wire is not
available, then batteries are required.
Note! If the thermostat is powered from 24VAC, batteries are not required.
Z-Wave Operation when 24VAC powered
If the thermostat is installed on a Z-Wave network while it is 24VAC powered, it operates
as an always-on Z-Wave repeater.
Installation Steps
Remove old thermostat.
Install TBZ500
Set up the thermostat for the HVAC system
Enroll on Z-Wave network
Remove old thermostat
Turn off power. Usually at the heating/cooling system or circuit- breaker panel.
Remove cover of old thermostat to expose the wiring terminals
Take a picture of the wiring terminals! Note: This will help with
troubleshooting later if needed.
Mark the wires attached to the terminals with the wiring labels included

Single Stage Gas Heating/Cooling HVAC System Wiring to the Thermostat
R vs RC and RH Connections:
Typical HVAC installations will have a common heating and cooling system 24VAC
transformer. For these systems, there is only one 24VAC “R” wire and it can connect to
either the RC or RH terminal on the thermostat. The thermostat is supplied with an RC-RH
jumper installed. Do not remove the jumper for common transformer HVAC systems.
Some installations may have separate heating and cooling systems/transformers. For
those systems there will be a separate “R” wire for the heating (RH) and cooling
transformers (RC).

modes as needed to maintain the setpoints.
Special Heat Pump Mode: Emergency Heat
Heat-E: An additional system mode, “Heat-E” for Emergency Heat will be
displayed if the HVAC System Type is set to Heat Pump. If there is a
compressor failure with the Heat Pump system, setting the mode to Emergency
Heat will allow the supplemental Aux Heat to come on first whenever there is a
call for heating. It also disables the compressor output to prevent further damage
to the HVAC system.
Caution! Emergency Heat should only be used for emergencies until the HVAC system
can be repaired. Running the system in Emergency Heat mode is commonly the most
expensive mode since only the electric heat strips are being used instead of the
more efficient heat pump compressor.

Thermostat Operation
Minimum Run Time (MRT)
The thermostat has a Minimum Run Time (MRT) delay after the start of any heating or
cooling call. This minimum run time assures even heating and cooling cycles. The MRT
will keep the system on, even if it reaches the setpoint room temperature, or you change
the setpoint to a temperature that would satisfy the call, until the MRT expires. Changing
the Mode to OFF will cancel the MRT and the system will turn off immediately. The MRT
can be adjusted in the Advanced Settings menu of the thermostat.
Note: The MRT status is shown in the thermostat Status display.

DCN: 140-02338-01 DRAFT 20619
Page 18
Minimum Off Time (MOT)
The thermostat has a Minimum Off Time (MOT) delay after any heating or cooling cycle
ends. This delay prevents rapid heating/cooling cycles and also provides “short cycle
protection” for the system compressor. This delay may be noticeable when you change a
setpoint and it does not respond immediately due to the MOT delay timer preventing the
system from restarting. The MOT delay time can be adjusted in the Advanced Settings
menu of the thermostat but there is a minimum of a 5 minute delay to assure compressor
protection.
Note: The MOT status is shown in the thermostat Status display.

Z-Wave®Operation
Thermostat Battery Operation: If the thermostat is installed in a Z-Wave network while
powered by batteries, it will be enrolled as a Z-Wave FLiRs type device. This is a power
saving mode that conserves the batteries by keeping the radio asleep most of the time.
However, in this mode, the thermostat does not act as a repeater/router in the Z-Wave
network.
Thermostat 24VAC Operation: If the thermostat is installed in a Z-Wave network while
powered by 24VAC, it will be enrolled as an always-listening device and can act as a router
node in the Z-Wave network.
Caution! Once installed in a Z-Wave network, if you change how the thermostat is
powered (from batteries to 24VAC or vice versa), you must remove and re-enrolled
the thermostat in the Z-Wave network for it to work correctly.
