Mounting
The SZ1041a is 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
or cool sources, open doors and windows, unventilated
locations and hot or cold air from diffusers.
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 SZ1041a uses standard terminal designations 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 SZ1041a accepts three 2-wire remote temperature
sensors. Consult the TS Series Temperature Sensor
Submittal Data sheet for a complete listing of packaging
and application styles. When using TCS Basys Controls
three-wire sensors, 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 SZ1041a
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 8 VA @ 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 com-
mon 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 trans-
former.
Wiring for the SZ1041a
**Add 500 Ω resistor
(included in bag) to convert
0/4 to 20mA to, 0/2 to 10
VDC.
W1 = Heat 1
W2 = Heat 2
Y1 = Cool 1
Y2 = Cool 2
NOTE: Comm wires
only needed with
SZ line. Do not use
with wireless line.
NOTE: The unit
transformer
may be used
to power any
wireless line
product.

Setup
Note: If using remote sensor(s), the calibra-
tion 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.
Use the following guide to determine the dipswitch set-
tings 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
discharge air sensor only.
Using remote room sensor with
outdoor air sensor only.
Using remote room sensor with
both discharge and outdoor air
sensors.
KEYPAD ACCESS
The dipswitches in the cover (shown above connected
with ribbon cable) must be set in order to lock the user
out of programming and/or to set the clock and sched-
ule. 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 sys-
tem switches are enabled or disabled in programming
only, and require no dipswitch placement.)
Keypad access to both program-
ming 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 at the top right and the left side
to prevent tampering.

Operation
UNOCCUPIED SETBACK
The SZ1041a operates in either an occupied or unoc-
cupied mode. During the occupied mode, the occupied
heating and cooling setpoints will be maintained, 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 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 dis-
abled 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 differ-
ently 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 occupied
mode and takes the thermostat into unoccupied mode.
In either case, you are able to view the time remain-
ing in the override period both within the software and
by using the service button to scroll through the status
screens. If the occupant desires to return the thermostat
to unoccupied or occupied operation (depending on how
the override was used) before the override time remain-
ing 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 override
may still be activated.
SETBACK AND OVERRIDE APPLICATIONS
In most applications, it is desired to maintain a regular
schedule, and allow timed overrides 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 occupancy or light sensor, set DI3 to exter-
nal 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 SZ1041a accepts a remote discharge air sensor
for monitoring purposes. (See setup instructions for dip-
switch placement for this option.)
Choose YES in programming screen #40 only if you
have a discharge air sensor installed and you want the
SZ1041a to use its built-in economizer functions. If NO
is chosen, the discharge air is still monitored. You must
also have an outdoor air sensor installed for economizer
operation. The discharge air span is 0 to 150°F (-17.8 to
65.6°C).
In programming screen #61, Discharge Air Low Limit.
This control is based on Space or Discharge air. As
the Discharge Air Temperture falls below the Discharge
Air Low Limit, the AO will modulate to maintain this
Discharge Air Low Limit setting.
In programming screen #62, Discharge Air High Limit.
This control is based on Space or Discharge Air. As
the Discharge Air Temperature exceeds the Discharge
Air Hight Limit, the AO will modulate to mai ntain the
Discharge Air Hight Limit setting.
In programming screen #63, Discharge Air Limit PB. This
value is used in conjunction when the Discharge Air Low
& High Limits are exceeded based on the information
above.
DISCHARGE AIR RESET
To use the discharge air reset function, a discharge air
sensor must be installed. In programming step #41, the
discharge air sensor must be enabled. In programming
step #49 the control must be based on DISCHARGE air.
In programming screen #50, you are asked whether to
enable heating low limit. This control is based on dis-
charge air. When the space reaches the Heat setpoint,
the Discharge Air Low Limit is the new Discharge set-
point.
In programming screen #51, you are asked to enter a
discharge air setpoint. The discharge air temperature will

R
2800 LAURA LANE • MIDDLETON, WI 53562 • [phone] • FAX [phone] • www.tcsbasys.com
10
be controlled to this setting by modulating the heating or
cooling device.
In programming screen #52, you are asked to enter a
reset ratio factor. This is the number of degrees that the
discharge air setpoint is raised when the room tempera-
ture falls below the heating setpoint by 1 degree if the
analog output is set for heating, or the number of degrees
that the discharge air setpoint is lowered when the room
temperature rises above the cooling setpoint by 1 degree
if the analog output is set for cooling.
OUTDOOR AIR TEMPERATURE SENSING
The SZ1041a accepts a remote outdoor temperature
sensor for monitoring purposes. (See setup instructions
for dipswitch placement for this option.)
The outdoor air span is -40 to 160 °F (-40.0 to 71.1 °C).
FAN PROVING
The SZ1041a allows DI1 to be set for fan proving to pro-
tect equipment on fan failure. To utilize this, a pressure
or current switch is required, which indicates when the
fan is running. If the thermostat turns on the FAN, and
DI1 is not closed after thirty seconds, 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 system to a mode other than OFF.
DI2 SETPOINT SHIFT
The SZ1041a allows DI2 to be set for setpoint 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 num-
ber 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 the set-
point shift value to zero.
STAGE OUTPUT PARAMETERS
The SZ1041a will control up to two stages of heating or
cooling. There is also a special option to control three
stages of cooling using 2 relays. For this option, relay 1
is the first stage. Relay 2 is the second stage with relay
1 turning off. Relay 1 and relay 2 both on is the third
stage. The selection for the number of cooling stages is
made in programming step #24.
You have the option to control heating using the space
tempertuare (STAT), the outdoor ambient temperature
(OA AMB), both STAT or OA AMB (BOTH) or either STAT
or OA AMB (EITHER). Use programming step #39 to
make this selection for heat and programming step #40
to select the OA AMB setpoint for heat. Use program-
ming step #37 to make this selection for cooling and
programming step #38 to select the OA AMB setpoint for
cooling.
For each stage, you may specify an offset and a differ-
ential value. 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 cooling
in the duct or the other
stages will bring the tem-
perature 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.
Unlike most other multi-
stage programmable
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 programmed in the Superstat in the number of
degrees (i.e. 1,2,3…) beyond the heating and cooling
setpoints (temperatures to be maintained).
The differential for each stage can be viewed as the
"anticipator" function used in mechanical thermostats.
P+I OPTION
The SZ1041a 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 add a time factor to anticipate heating and
cooling.
ANALOG OUTPUT PARAMETERS
AO1 can be used to control heating, cooling, discharge
air reset, and econimizer. The heating, cooling, and dis-
charge air reset can be controlled by PID. The selection
is made for AO mode as heat,cool, or econ in program-
ming step #42. Discharge air min limit and discharge air
max limit become active when the limits are reached.
Use programming steps #42 through #68 to program the
operating parameters for the analog output. Select wheth-
er the analog output is set for heating, cooling or econo-
mizer. Select direct or reverse action. Select whether you
want the analog output to modulate from 4 to 20mA or
0 to 20mA. Select the unoccupied action ("20mA or 0 /
4mA" will hold the analog output device open or closed
during unoccupied times. "Modulating" will modulate the
analog output device to maintain the unoccupied heating
or cooling setpoint.). Enter a proportional band (throttling
range) in degrees. Enter a setpoint offset in degrees.
(This is a value below the heating setpoint or above the
cooling setpoint where the analog output begins to modu-
late.)
ECONOMIZER OPERATION
The analog output on the SZ1041a can be used to con-
trol an economizer. Both outdoor air and discharge air
temperature sensors are needed to accomplish this.
NOTE: The discharge air sensor may be installed in the
discharge air section or in the mixed air section. This

instruction as well as product literature refers to a dis-
charge air sensor, regardless of where it is mounted.
During occupied time, the outside air dampers are held
at a minimum position, entered in programming step
#47, until economizer operation is enabled. During unoc-
cupied time, the outside air dampers are closed.
In programming screen #43, you are asked to enter an
outdoor air setpoint. The outdoor air temperature must
fall below this setpoint before economizer operation will
be enabled. A call for cooling is also required to enable
economizer operation. A typical value is 65°F.
In programming screen #44, you are asked to enter a
discharge air setpoint. The discharge air temperature will
be controlled to this setting by modulating the outdoor
air dampers, when economizer operation is enabled. In
programming screen #45, you are asked to enter a dis-
charge air low limit setpoint. If the discharge air falls to
this setpoint, the outside air dampers will close.
A proportional band (throttling range), whether you want
the analog output to modulate from 4 to 20mA or 0 to
20mA, and direct or reverse action must also be pro-
grammed.
DI2 ECONOMIZER ENABLE
When DI2 is selected to use the economizer function the
Outdoor Air Economizer setpoint is NOT USED, instead
the thermostat operates as follows. With DI2 "Open", the
economizer function is OFF and AO1 goes to the mini-
mum position. When DI2 is "Closed", the economizer
function is ON.
SMART RECOVERY
“Smart Recovery” may be enabled. It ramps the setpoint
4°F/hr. 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 with-
out the need for the second stage to come on. This fea-
ture is automatically disabled when DI3 is set to external
time clock.
BUILT-IN DELAYS
The SZ1041a has delays built into the programming
sequences to protect equipment. The fan has a mini-
mum on and off time of 30 seconds. When the fan is
in AUTO or COOL mode, it will come on 30 seconds
before the heating or cooling devices are allowed to
sequence on, and remain on for 2 minutes after the
heating or cooling devices sequence off. Each stage has
a minimum on and off time of two minutes. There is a
minimum of 2 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 occupied, see delay on powerup.
DELAY ON POWERUP
The SZ1041a has an adjustable delay on powerup.
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, cre-
ating a 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 powerup. Setting each unit to a
different delay allows you to soft start your system, and
thus prevent this peak. This delay can also be applied to
the start of occupied time.
DAYLIGHT SAVING 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 ver-
sion 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 sched-
ule 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.

ing and cooling setpoints, offsets and differentials, 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 heat-
ing or cooling is off, but the corresponding LED is on,
check the wiring. Short terminals “R” to “Y/W1” or “Y/
W2” and see if the heating or cooling comes on. This is
a check for a mechanical relay failure.
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 sec-
tion of this document. Also, verify 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 off-
set for each temperature input (room, discharge, outdoor
air, etc.) on the controller's programming page. For exam-
ple, if the room temperature is reading 2 degrees high, you
would subtract 2 from the existing offset in the room tem-
perature 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.

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

9. Press the warmer button until the cooling setpoint is
greater than the current temperature by one degree.
The cooling stage(s) will sequence off. The fan will
turn off 2 minutes after the last cooling stage.
10. For a heating or cooling analog output: Take note
of the room (and discharge) air temperatures. If the
analog output is set for Cooling, press the Cooler but-
ton until the cooling setpoint is less than the current
room temperature by at least 5°. The cooling device
should start operating. If the analog output is set for
Heating, press the Warmer button until the heating
setpoint is greater than the current room temperature
by at least 5°. The heating device should start operat-
ing.
11. For an economizer analog output: Take note of the
discharge and outdoor air temperatures. Go to pro-
gramming step #43 and set the outdoor air setpoint
5° greater than the outdoor air temperature. Go to
programming step #44 and set the discharge air
setpoint 10° less than the discharge air temperature.
Press the Cooler button until the cooling setpoint is
less than the current room temperature by at least
5°. The damper should now be fully open. Raising
the discharge air setpoint, will modulate the damper
closed. Raising the cooling setpoint above the room
temperature or lowering the outdoor air setpoint
below the outdoor air temperature will shut the damp-
er to minimum position.
12. Go back to programming step #20 and set the set-
point adjust limit back to the desired value. Make any
other changes in programming, clock, and schedule.
Set the fan and system modes to their desired set-
tings.
13. If using remote sensor(s), verify that the reading is
correct. If not, see Wrong Temperature Display in
Troubleshooting section.
TROUBLESHOOTING

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 heat-

Check wiring. A separate transformer should be used for
the SZ1041a and a separate transformer should be used
for the motor(s). Check to make sure that the analog
output is programmed correctly.
Check the Service Menu. The Mod Out Screen will tell
you what the SZ1041a is trying to put out. Compare this
with the actual position on the heating or cooling device.
There are two conditions that must be met before the
economizer analog output will modulate. First, there
must be a call for cooling. Second, the outdoor air tem-
perature must be less than the setting set in program-
ming step #43.
Put the SZ1041a into occupied mode. You should be
able to adjust the output by going to programming step
#47 or #65 (depending on AO1 mode in step 42) and
varying the minimum position setting. You need to exit
programming before the change will take
effect.
SERVICE SCREENS

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 end user how
to operate their new thermostat, as well as serve as a
handy future reference for the end user.
We recommend that the installer fill out the appropriate
pages and explain to the user how the thermostat oper-
ates, what settings may be changed, and how the time
clock schedules are used.
