The TU-16 Thermostat provides the latest technology in a full-featured universal thermostat with UPB powerline communications. The TU-16 has many unique features including:

· Separate Heating and Cooling setpoints

· Multistage HVAC systems support

· Wall Display Unit setting of:

o Unit ID

o F/C temperature display mode

o Sensor calibration (internal and remotes)

· Automatic Remote Sensor detection

· AutoSend Mode for easy network communication

· Enhanced two way UPB protocol

The TU-16 thermostat consists of two parts, a Wall Display Unit (WDU) and an 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 UPB powerline network connection via a UPB SPIM-01 powerline interface module.  NOTE:  A UPB SPIM-01 is required for UPB operation of the TU-16.  If you have a spare SPIM-01, order the TU-16.  If not, order the kit, TUK-16.

The TU-16 has separate heating and cooling setpoints. The display shows the setpoint of the current operating mode (in Auto mode, the system keeps track of the current operating mode of the last call, either heating or cooling). In addition to the universal Standard or Heat Pump HVAC systems support, the TU-16 has multistage heating/cooling system outputs. The control unit can support 2 stages of heating and cooling for Standard systems. It supports 3 stages of heating and 2 stages of cooling for Heat Pump systems.

The TU-16 has a convenient setup mode from the Wall Display Unit. You can set the network Unit ID, F or C display mode and easily calibrate the internal and all attached remote sensors. The TU-16 has automatic detection and setup of remote temperature sensors. Remote sensors have address settings that, when detected by the TU-16, will be used for specific functions, such as, in lieu of the internal sensor, averaging with other sensors.

UPB Communications: the TU-16 provides a robust two way communication protocol that allows for full control and monitoring of the thermostat. The thermostat temperature, setpoints and mode can be monitored or changed via the UPB network. In addition, the HVAC system operation modes and even relay status can also be accessed from the network.

The UPB Network ID for the thermostat can be set via the Wall Display Unit. The Network address and other configuration data can be read and set via network commands.

The TU-16 can be used in a polled network or can be set to AutoSend mode that will transmit changes in thermostat data as it occurs.
