RCS X10 BI-DIRECTIONAL COMMUNICATING THERMOSTAT KIT

THE WORLD'S LEADING X10 THERMOSTAT

The RCTXB16 thermostat consists of two parts, a RCTS16 Wall Display Unit (WDU) and a HVAC Control Unit. The wall display unit provides users functions like a traditional thermostat and connects to the control unit by a 4 wire cable. The Control Unit connects at the HVAC system using the standard thermostat connections and provides the thermostatic temperature control of the system. The Control Unit also has the X10 Power Line Interface connection.

The RCTXB16 now maintains separate heating and cooling setpoints and you can select single or dual setpoint operation. The display shows the setpoint of the current system mode (Heat or Cool). In the Off or Auto mode, the system keeps track of the current operating mode of the last call, either heating or cooling. Single setpoint commands are still used to send and request setpoint information. When a new setpoint is sent to the RCTXB16, it will automatically convert that setpoint into a heating or cooling setpoint based on the current operating mode of the stat. This allows compatibility with single setpoint systems. When Autosend in enabled, it will report a setpoint change as either a heating or a cooling setpoint with new X10 Bi-directional messages.

In addition to the universal standard or heat pump HVAC system type support, the RCTXB16 supports multistage heating/cooling system outputs. The control unit can support 2 stages of heating and cooling for Standard systems, or 3 stages of heating and 2 stages of cooling for Heat Pump systems. The RCTXB16 has a convenient setup mode from the Wall Display Unit. You can set the X10 House code address, the F or C temperature mode and easily calibrate the internal and remote sensors. The RCTXB16 has automatic detection and setup of remote temperature sensors. Remotes sensors have 3 address settings that, when detected by the RCTXB16, will be used for specific functions such as in lieu of the internal sensor, averaging with other sensors or an outdoor sensor.

The Status LED shows X10 signal traffic, which can be helpful in trouble shooting system installation problems. The Status LED flashes slowly to indicate system OK. When an X10 command is received, normally the Status LED will blink fast 2 times. If the command is addressed for this thermostat, the LED will flash fast 4 times. X10 transmissions will also flash the LED.

Installation is simple. Mount the HVAC control box near your HVAC system and replace your existing four wire (or more) thermostat with the RCS Thermostat.

MAKING YOUR HOME MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT

RCS is a leading manufacturer of communicating thermostats, zone control systems, energy management and home automation products for residential and light commercial use. The RCS communicating thermostats function as stand alone thermostat subsystems with communications to allow remote data acquisition and control of the units. All thermostat functions can be monitored or controlled via network commands. The only thermostat family that makes retrofit installation a snap. No new wires needed to run out to the thermostat wall location. Unique, industry leading two part design places the thermostat control unit at the mechanical system and a wall display unit at the thermostat on wall location. Uses only four wires to interconnect the two units.
