Mounting
The SZ1024 and SZ1033 are designed for wall mounting
using two #6 sheet metal screws, either over a horizontally
installed 2” x 4” junction box, or directly to block or drywall.
For best results, the thermostat should be mounted on an
interior wall which reflects normal room environment, at a
height of approximately five feet from the floor. Avoid areas
exposed to direct sunlight, unusual heat sources, open
doors and windows, or unventilated locations.
If using a remote room sensor, it should be mounted in
the manner described above. The thermostat may then
be mounted in an area which is accessible for adjusting
its settings.
Caution: Remove power from thermostat prior
to mounting.

Wiring
The SZ1024 and SZ1033 use standard terminal desig-
nations for wiring. See diagram below.
REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR WIRING
Use 18 AWG shielded twisted-pair grounded at the sen-
sor mounting location. Sensor wiring runs of up to 250
feet are attainable if properly shielded wire is used and
the installation environment is free of electrical noise.
Sensor wire should be kept at least five feet away from
line voltage wiring.
The SZ1024 accepts two remote temperature sensors
and the SZ1033 accepts three. Consult the TS3000
Series Remote Temperature Sensor Submittal Data
sheet for a complete listing of packaging and application
styles. When using TCS Basys Controls three-wire sen-
sors, use the black and red leads and either clip or twist
off the white lead. Make sure that the dip switches are
set for the sensors you are using.
POWERING THE SZ1024 and SZ1033
Superstats are powered from 24 VAC +/- 20%.
If wiring for communications, dedicated power must be
used to power the Superstat. Several “S” Series ther-
mostats may be powered from the same transformer,
provided that the transformer has sufficient power.
(Superstats require 8W @ 24 VAC.)
Caution: Do not connect to 120 VAC. When multiple
TCS Basys Controls devices are using a single
transformer, the polarity of the power wiring
must be maintained because all TCS devices
are half-wave rectified and have common return
paths.
When the Superstat is used as a stand-alone
thermostat without communications, the unit transformer
may be used to power it. To do this, install a jumper
between the “R” and “+24” terminals. The “24-” terminal
must then be connected to the common side of the unit
transformer.
1For communication wiring, use twisted,
shielded 18 AWG. Must be run separately.
Dry momentary contact. Must not be powered. Dry contact. Must NOT be powered.

Setup
Note: If using remote sensor(s), the calibration
may need to be adjusted. See “Checkout and
Troubleshooting” section.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR SELECTION
The dipswitches in the cover (shown above) must be
set when using remote room, discharge, and/or outdoor
sensors.
NOTE: Use the following guide to determine the dip-
switch settings for your application.
Using built-in room sensor only.
(This is the default setting.)
Using built-in room sensor with
discharge air sensor only.
Using built-in room sensor with
outdoor air sensor only.*
Using built-in room sensor with
both discharge and outdoor air
sensors.*
Using remote room sensor only.
Using remote room sensor with

both discharge and outdoor air
sensors.*
* (SZ1033 only)
KEYPAD ACCESS
The dipswitches in the thermostat cover (shown above)
must be set in order to lock the user out of the program
and/or to set the clock and schedule. Use the guide
below to set these dipswitches for your application.
User access may also be limited with an access code
set in programming. (The fan and system switches are
enabled or disabled in programming only, and require no
dipswitch placement.)
Keypad access to both programming and
clock setup. (This is the default setting.)
No keypad access to programming or
clock setup.
Keypad access to programming only.
Keypad access to clock setup only.
Once the dipswitches have been set and you have con-
firmed that the sensors are reading correctly (and pro-
gram and clock setup are finished, if locking out access
with dipswitches), secure the cover to the base with the
two set screws located a the top right and the left side.

Operation
The SZ1024 and SZ1033 are used when a heat pump
needs to have its reversing valve operated directly by
the thermostat. Some heat pumps will require a conven-
tional thermostat, where the heat pump internally con-
trols the position of the reversing valve.
When there is no call for heating or cooling, the revers-
ing valve is in the cooling position. On a call for cooling,
the fan is cycled on, and then the compressor(s) are
cycled on. On a call for heating, the fan is cycled on, the
reversing valve output changes to the heating position,
and then the compressor(s) are cycled on. If additional
heating is required, auxiliary heat is then used.
UNOCCUPIED SETBACK
The SZ1024 and SZ1033 operate in either an occupied
or unoccupied mode. During the occupied mode, the
occupied heating and cooling setpoints will be main-
tained, and the fan will operate according to its occupied
setting. During the unoccupied mode, the unoccupied
heating and cooling setpoints will be maintained, and
the fan will operate according to its unoccupied setting.
The occupied LED will be lit when the unit is operating
in the occupied mode.
The occupied schedule may be set utilizing the internal
time clock or, with SZ1024 and SZ1033, DI3 may be
used with an external time clock, whereas when DI3
is closed, the unit is in the occupied mode. The Smart
Recovery function is disabled when DI3 is used for
external time clock.
OVERRIDE
A timed override is available using the button on the
face of the thermostat or through momentary contacts
wired into the OVR terminal. The amount of time the unit
will be overridden is set from 0 to 255 minutes in the
programming screen. This override behaves differently
depending on the mode the thermostat is operating in
(occupied or unoccupied) and the options that have
been enabled within the software.
In standard mode, the override only activates in unoc-
cupied mode and takes the thermostat into occupied
mode. If "Override for Occupied Period" is enabled
using the software, the override also activates in occu-
pied mode and takes the thermostat into unoccupied
mode. In either case, you are able to view the time
remaining in the override period both within the software
and by using the service button to scroll through the sta-

tus screens. If the occupant desires to return the ther-
mostat to unoccupied or occupied operation (depending
on how the override was used) before the override time
remaining elapses, they may press the override button
again.
Additionally, an "Override Hold" feature is built into the
thermostats. When in unoccupied mode, pressing the
override once and then pressing/holding it for 5 seconds
puts the thermostat into a "hold” mode (the override
LED on the thermostat will flash quickly to confirm the
mode change). In this mode, the override setpoints are
used until the next occupied period is reached or until
the thermostat is manually taken out of the "hold" mode
by pressing the override button again. This feature
also works when the "Override for Occupied Period" is
enabled BUT starting from the occupied mode and hold-
ing the thermostat in the unoccupied state.
A continuous override is available through the DI3 con-
tact or the software. If DI3 is set to external override, the
unit will be in the occupied mode whenever the DI3 con-
tact is closed. When using this option, the timed over-
ride may still be activated.
SETBACK AND OVERRIDE APPLICATIONS
In most applications, it is desired to maintain a regular
schedule, and allow timed override with the button on
the face or with a remote momentary contact.
To allow a regular schedule, and also automatically
override with the use of an occupancy or light sensor,
set DI3 to external override and set it up so that the
contact is closed when you want the override.
For applications where a room might not be used on a
regular schedule, such as conference rooms, set DI3
to external time clock and close the contact when you
want the room occupied, such as with a switch or wind-
up timer. If each occupancy period is about the same,
(theaters, meetings) another option is to set the DI3 to
external time clock, and use the timed override button to
put the unit in occupied mode.
To make the unit always occupied, set DI3 to external
time clock and short the DI3 terminal to ground.
DISCHARGE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSING
The SZ1024 and SZ1033 accept a remote discharge air
sensor for monitoring purposes. (See setup instruc-
tions for dipswitch placement for this option.)
Choose YES in programming screen #32 only if you are
using a discharge air sensor and you want to enable the
discharge air temperature high and low limit functions. If
NO is chosen, the discharge air will still be monitored.
When the function is enabled, a HIGH LIMIT and LOW
LIMIT are entered in steps #33 and #34. If the HIGH
LIMIT is reached, the fan and heating stages will be
turned off and will remain off until the discharge air
temperature falls 3° below that limit. If the LOW LIMIT
is reached, the fan and cooling stages will be turned off
and will remain off until the discharge air rises 3° above
that limit. When either limit is reached, the service LED
will be on until normal operation resumes.
The discharge air span is 0°F to 150°F (-17.8°C to
65.6°C).
OUTDOOR AIR TEMPERATURE SENSING
The SZ1033 accepts a remote outdoor temperature sen-
sor for monitoring purposes. (See setup instructions for
dipswitch placement for this option.)
Choose YES in programming screen #35 only if you are
using an outdoor air sensor and you want to enable the
outdoor air heating and cooling lockout functions. If NO
is chosen, the outdoor air will still be monitored.
When the function is enabled, a COOLING LOCKOUT
TEMP and HEATING LOCKOUT TEMP are entered
in steps #36 and #37. If the outdoor temperature falls
below the COOLING LOCKOUT TEMP, all cooling
stages will be locked out and will remain locked out until
the outdoor air temperature rises 2° above the lockout
temperature. If the outdoor temperature rises above the
HEATING LOCKOUT TEMP, all heating stages will be
locked out and will remain locked out until the outdoor
air temperature falls 2° below the lockout temperature.
The outdoor air span is -40°F to 160°F (-40.0°C to
71.1°C). This is the outdoor air heat feature and emer-
gency heat feature.
FAN PROVING
The SZ1024 and SZ1033 allow DI1 to be set for fan
proving to protect equipment on fan failure. To utilize
this function, input a pressure or current switch which
tells when the fan is running. If the thermostat closes its
fan contact, and the DI1 is not closed after thirty sec-
onds, the system will go to OFF, disabling all outputs,
the fan LED will turn off, and the service LED will be lit
until the system is manually reset by switching the sys-
tem to a mode other than OFF.
DI2 SETPOINT SHIFT
The SZ1024 and SZ1033 allow DI2 to be set for set-
point shift for energy demand setback. This is enabled
by setting DI2 to the MONITOR mode. A digital contact
that closes when setback is needed should be wired into
DI2. You may specify a number of degrees such that,
when the thermostat is operating in the occupied mode,
and DI2 is closed, the heating setpoint will be lowered
this number of degrees, and the cooling setpoint will
be raised this number of degrees. The fan will continue
to operate according to its occupied setting. If you are
using DI2 as monitor for another purpose, make sure to
set this value to zero.
STAGE OUTPUT PARAMETERS
The SZ1024 and SZ1033 will control up to two stages
each of compression, and up to two stages of auxiliary
heat. It is recommended that all unused stages be dis-
abled.
For each stage, you may specify an offset and a differ-
ential value. This allows you to adjust the operation of
R

2800 LAURA LANE • MIDDLETON, WI 53562 • [phone] • FAX [phone] • www.tcsbasys.com
10
the thermostat to fit your equipment to the building load.
The offset value is the amount away from the setpoint
a stage will turn off. By assigning a stage a value other
than zero, you “anticipate” that the residual heat or cool-
ing in the duct or the other stages will bring the tempera-
ture back to setpoint. In most cases, the first stage is set
to zero. The differential value is the difference between
the on and off points. This value depends on the load
and on the equipment size. If the equipment is large for
the load, you may want to make this value as high as 5
to prevent equipment cycling. If the equipment is small
compared to the load, or if tight control is desired, you
may want to make this value as low as 1.
The fact that the stages are configurable allows unused
stages to be set to activate physical alarms if desired.
In summary, unlike most other multi-stage program-
mable thermostats, the Superstat allows independent
adjustments of "offsets" and "differentials" for stages of
heating and cooling. The offset settings can be viewed
as setpoints for the second and third stages and are pro-
grammed in the Superstat in the number of degrees (i.e.
1,2,3…) beyond the heating and cooling setpoints (tem-
peratures to be maintained).
The differential for each stage can be viewed as the
"anticipator" function used in mechanical thermostats.
P + I OPTION
The SZ1024 and SZ1033 also have a P+I option. Without
enabling this option, stages turn on and off based on
temperature vs. setpoint alone, as described above. By
enabling this option, you allow a time factor to be added.
This is useful when you are forced to have a large differ-
ential due to equipment size. At times when the building
load is low, the temperature could potentially sit a few
degrees off setpoint for some time. With the time factor
added, the thermostat would compensate for this, turning
on the equipment even though the temperature had not
reached the limits described above.
DI2 COOL LOCKOUT
DI2 may be set as cool lockout for operation with econo-
mizers. An outdoor temperature switch may be wired in
such that when DI2 is closed, the second stage of cool-
ing is disabled.
SMART RECOVERY
“Smart Recovery” may be enabled to insure occupant
comfort while saving money. It takes the building load
into consideration and ramps the setpoint when going
from the unoccupied mode to the occupied mode. At the
beginning of the occupied mode, the occupied setpoint
will be reached, many times without the need for the
second stage to come on. This feature is automatically
disabled when DI3 is set to external time clock.
AUXILIARY OUTPUT
An auxiliary relay output is available to output a signal
based on the occupancy status. It is commonly used with
an economizer minimum position control, or to signal an
outdoor air damper to open in occupied times in lieu of an
economizer. It may also be used for lighting or hot water
heaters. Keep in mind that although it is an isolated relay
(separate common terminal), it is rated at 24 VAC. For
loads that exceed this, use an external relay. It may be
set to be open (NO) or closed (NC) when the thermostat
is operating in the occupied mode, and will be the oppo-
site during the unoccupied mode.
BUILT-IN DELAYS
The SZ1024 and SZ1033 have delays built into the pro-
gramming sequences to protect equipment. The fan has
a minimum on and off time of 30 seconds. When the fan
is in AUTO mode, it will come on 30 seconds before the
heating or cooling stages are allowed to sequence on,
and remain on for 2 minutes after the heating or cool-
ing stages sequence off. Each stage has a minimum on
and off time of two minutes. There is a minimum of two
minutes between when one stage turns on until the next
stage is allowed to turn on, as well as when one stage
turns off until the next stage is allowed to turn off.
DELAY ON POWER UP
The SZ1024 and SZ1033 have an adjustable delay on
power up. When several thermostats are used at one
location, and the power goes out, most thermostats turn
all of the units back on at the same time on regain of
power, creating a demand peak. The thermostat allows
you to set a value, in seconds, where no outputs are
allowed to turn on for that length of time on power up.
Setting each unit to a different delay allows you to soft
start your system, and thus prevent this peak. Note, the
delay on power up also applies to start of occupied time.
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
Beginning in 2007, Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the
U.S. will be extended by having an earlier change to DST
in spring and a delay in switching back to standard time in
fall. However, this change may only be temporary, as this
"new" schedule is only in effect for a 2 year trial period.
After that, the DST schedule may revert back, stay the
same, or be something completely different. Products
shipped starting in 2007 with firmware version 1.5 or
higher accommodate the new DST schedule. Products
shipped starting in 2008 with firmware version 2.0 or
higher accommodate the new DST schedule and have
the ability to be programmed to accommodate any future
schedules that may be used. Should the schedule change
and you need to customer program the DST start and end
dates, simply enable the "Daylight Savings Time" option
within the software and enter the starting month + week
and the ending month + week.

Troubleshooting section.
TROUBLESHOOTING
No Display
Check for 24 VAC on terminals “+24” and “-24”. Check
the cable connecting the cover to the base for a good
connection.
Fan Does Not Come On
The fan is on whenever the fan LED is on. If the fan
should be on, but the fan LED is off, check the fan and
system switch modes, and the unoccupied fan mode
in programming. If the fan is off but the fan LED is on,
check wiring. Short terminals “R” to “G” and see if the
fan comes on. This is a check for a mechanical relay
failure.
Heating or Cooling Does Not Come On
At least one stage of heating is on whenever the heat-
ing LED is on, and at least one stage of cooling is on
whenever the cooling LED is on. If heating or cooling
should be on but the heating or cooling LED is off,
check the fan and system switch modes. Also, check
the heating and cooling setpoints, offsets and differen-
tials, and the room temperature to be sure heating or
cooling should be on. If using outdoor air heating and
cooling lockouts, or discharge air high and low limits,
check their values to be sure heating or cooling is
allowed. If heating or cooling is off, but the correspond-
ing LED is on, check the wiring. Short terminals “R” to
“W1”, “W2”, “Y1”, “Y2”, or “B/O” and see if the heating
or cooling comes on. This is a check for a mechanical
relay failure.
Both Heating and Cooling Are On
If this occurs, there are two possibilities. Either the
reversing valve operation is set incorrectly, or the heat
pump requires a conventional thermostat for proper
operation. (See programming through the Key Pad,
Step 5).
Wrong Temperature Display
Initially, verify the wiring connections to check for
problems (poor connections, opens, or shorts). If the
temperature is at a minimum or maximum reading,
check that the sensor dipswitch positions are correct as
shown in the Setup section of this document. Also, ver-
ify the resistance reading for the sensor in question. A
remote sensor should read 1080 to 1090 ohms at room
temperature. The built-in sensor should read 108 to 109
ohms at room temperature. If any of the temperatures
are still reading slightly high or low, you can add in a
temperature offset (calibration) using Ubiquity or TCS
Insight. In Ubiquity, you can edit the calibration offset
for each temperature input (room, discharge, outdoor
air, etc.) on the controller's programming page. For
example, if the room temperature is reading 2 degrees
high, you would subtract 2 from the existing offset in
the room temperature calibration offset field and submit
the page. In TCS Insight, the process is similar. Refer
to the Calibrate Using TCS Insight Tech Bulletin # 1019
for details. As a last resort and only when directed to do
so by TCS technical support, you may be able to use
the on-board adjustment pots. Refer to the Thermostat
Sensor Calibration Tech Bulletin # 1005 for details.
Service LED is On
If the service LED is on, it may be for monitoring pur-
poses or it may indicate a critical problem. The first
monitoring screen accessed by pressing the service sta-
tus button will display why the light is on.
Outputs Will Not Shut Off
First check the room temperature and the setpoints and
determine whether the output should be on. There are
delays and minimum on and off times for the fan and
heating and cooling stages. Also, check the service
status menus to verify that the outputs are on. Turning
the system to “off” will instantly turn all outputs off. The
thermostat can be reset by pressing the system switch
button and the service status button simultaneously.

Limiting Occupant Access
SETPOINT ADJUSTMENT
The occupant may temporarily change the occupied
heating and cooling setpoints +/- 5°F by factory default.
This setpoint change will remain until the end of the cur-
rent occupied period, at which time the program reverts
to the setpoints defined in programming. To change the
range of adjustment allowed, see programming step #
15.
OVERRIDE
The occupant has the ability to put the unit into occupied
mode by pressing the override button on the front. By
factory default, the unit will remain in the occupied mode
for 180 minutes. This value may be changed from 0 to
255 minutes in programming step # 16.
FAN SWITCHING
The option to allow the occupant to change the occu-
pied fan mode is allowed by factory default. To lock out
access to fan switching, see programming step # 8.
SYSTEM SWITCHING
The option to allow the occupant to change the system
mode is allowed by factory default. To lock out access to
system switching, see programming step # 6.

SETTING CLOCK & SCHEDULE
The ability to set the clock and schedule is allowed by
factory default. An access code may be required as set
in programming step # 45, or access may be denied alto-
gether using dipswitches described in the setup section.
PROGRAMMING
The ability to program control parameters is allowed by
factory default. An access code may be required as set
in programming step # 44, or access may be denied alto-
gether using dipswitches described in the setup section.
User’s Guide
Inside the hinged door of the thermostat is the
SuperstatTM User’s Guide. This guide is designed to
assist the installer in explaining to the user how to oper-
ate their new thermostat, as well as serve as a handy
future reference for the user.
We recommend that the installer fill out the appropriate
pages in the User’s Guide and explain to the user how
the thermostat operates, what settings may be changed,
and how the time clock schedules are used.
