Introduction
Congratulations on choosing the TCS US5182 Air Handling Unit Controller! The US5182 is a sophisticated, multi-function
HVAC Air Handling Unit controller which must be congured to interact with your system after you have completed the
installation, wiring, and basic setup. While this conguration process can be accomplished several different ways, the
preferred method is to connect a laptop computer directly to the US5182 via a USB cable, and use TCS Insight software to
program the unit. This manual will guide you through each step you must take when using this method.
Refer to the US5182 Installation Manual for instructions on installing and wiring the unit into your system. Refer to the
US5182 Quick Setup Guide for instructions on the basic setup of the unit via the unit’s LCD screen.
If you have questions regarding your US5182, do not hesitate to contact TCS Technical Support at 800-288-9383, ext. 2.
Our Technical Support Department hours are Monday – Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (CST).
Getting Started
To congure the US5182, you will need:
• A laptop computer running Windows 7 or later.
• A USB-A to USB-C cable (NOT a mini-USB or micro-USB cable)
• TCS Insight conguration software version 2.5.0.7 or later, which can be downloaded from the TCS website. Earlier
versions of Insight will not allow you to configure the US5182.

Configuration
Using Insight
TCS Insight software allows you to congure available settings for the different types of inputs and outputs of the
US5182. Each time you launch Insight, you must complete the following tasks before programming the US5182:
• Identify the COM port you will be using to communicate with the US5182
• Assign a unique device address to the US5182 (if more than one controller is connected to your system)
• Populate the I/O tabs under the Programming menu
NOTE: TCS Insight software is a powerful service tool that works with a number of different devices and performs other
functions which are beyond the scope of this manual. We recommend following only the steps described herein, as other
steps may impact other controllers or your network.
Network Setup
STEP 1 With the US5182 disconnected from your laptop,
launch Insight. You will see the following screen:
You may see no COM ports or several of them
(e.g., COM3, in this example). You can ignore
these ports.
STEP 2 Power up the US5182 (refer to the US5182
Installation Manual for more information).
STEP 3 Connect the US5182 to your laptop using the USB
cable described on page 3.
STEP 4 Click on the Get Ports button. You will see
a new COM port appear in the window (e.g.,
COM83). This is the port your US5182 is using to
communicate with the laptop.
STEP 5 Under the Baud Rate list, select UbiquiSTAT USB.
STEP 6 Open the new COM port by clicking on its radio
button.
STEP 7 Click on the Poll tab near the top of the window.

STEP 8 In the Poll tab window, click on the Poll Network
button. After a few seconds, an icon representing
the US5182 will appear. After the US5182 device
icon appears, you can click on the Stop button or
the US5182 icon to cease polling the network.
NOTE: When using a USB-C cable for communicating with
the US5182, the address will always be zero.
Programming the US5182
STEP 1 Click on the US5182 device icon to bring up the
device tabs in the main window (this can take
several seconds).
STEP 2 Click on the Programming tab in the main
window. This will open up a new set of tabs for:
• System and Setpoints
• Analog Inputs
• Digital Inputs
• Digital Outputs
• Analog Outputs
• Additional Functions (two)
STEP 3 After expanding the Programming tab, click on
each of the seven sub-tabs to populate their data
elds. Allow several seconds for the US5182 to
populate each sub-tab (the window will “blink”
when populated.) Do this for every sub-tab,
even if you are not going to congure all inputs/
outputs or functions, as some data points are
interrelated.
