Full text manual (for reference)
Datasheet for the Ecolink TBZ500 Z-Wave Plus Thermostat — a wireless Z-Wave thermostat for standard gas/electric and heat pump HVAC systems, supporting both 24VAC and battery operation.
Overview
The TBZ500 is designed to control most HVAC systems, including standard gas/electric type and heat pump systems. It supports both 24VAC and battery operation, making it well-suited for home automation and pro security applications where remote monitoring is preferred.
Features
- Z-Wave Plus® Certified, S2 Security
- Firmware update via Z-Wave® OTA
- Standard gas/electric HVAC systems: 2-stage heating, 2-stage cooling
- Heat pump HVAC systems: 3-stage heating, 2-stage cooling
- Fan system selectable for gas or electric heat systems
- Heat pump changeover valve (reversing valve) selectable for heat or cool changeover (O or B output)
- Emergency Heat mode selectable from the thermostat in Heat Pump mode
- Compressor short-cycle protection delay of 5 minutes (adjustable)
- Backlit fixed 128-segment B/W LCD with 7-character message bar
Power
- Battery: 24-month battery life with four (4) AA alkaline batteries; low battery indication.
- Powered: hardwired 24VAC (requires both 24VAC "R" and 24VAC common "C" wires from the HVAC system).
Wiring
Uses standard thermostat connections: C, RC, RH, W1, W2/O, Y1, Y2, G — 18 AWG wire.
- The C wire is not required for battery operation, but is required for 24VAC operation.
- For single-transformer systems, connect the R wire to either the RC or RH terminal — they're connected via a factory-installed jumper.
- For systems with separate heating and cooling transformers, connect Heating R to RH and Cooling R to RC, and remove the factory-installed RC/RH jumper.
Sensors & Fan Control
- Built-in temperature/humidity sensor, plus support for a Z-Wave® remote temperature sensor.
- Fan can be configured to On or Auto (controlled by the HVAC system).
Compatible Security Panels
- Honeywell Lynx Touch 5200/7000/Vista20p + VAM/Vista 128BPT + Tuxedo Touch
- Qolsys IQ/IQ2
- 2GIG EDGE/GC3e/GC2e/GC3/GC2
- Interlogix Simon XT/XTi5
- Samsung SmartThings Hub
Tested for: Learn In, Local Control, Battery Status (Local/App), and Remote Control via Backend, where applicable to each panel.
