Overview and General Concepts The E529.4G battery-operated wireless RF thermostat works in conjunction with an HVAC controller partner such as an INNCOM X47 or X07.P to monitor and maintain room temperature. The E529.4G has an onboard temperature and optional humidity sensor to measure room temperature and humidity and reports this information to the HVAC controller partner physically connected to the room HVAC unit. The E529.4G has no onboard relays or HVAC control logic to control the room HVAC unit. It can only measure temperature an optionally humidity and report this to its HVAC controller partner. The E529.4G has no IR Eye or S5-Bus installed and only communicates with other devices via RF. The HVAC partner in the room must be equipped with a Deep Mesh Layer-X radio, or S5 Bus connected to a radio equipped device such as a PC502.4G. Appendix 4 shows typical installations using the E529.4G. Figure 1 below shows a typical E529.4G installation. Since the E529.4G has a user interface, it can also be used to configure inroom devices that do not have a user interface such as an X47, PC502.4G or X07.P. The E529.4G is routinely used as a commissioning tool. Figure 1. Typical E529.4G Installation E529.4G Rev 2.0 12/30/2016 2
Application In its most basic form, the battery powered e529 functions as a programmable DDC thermostat, automatically adjusting fan speeds and valves to achieve set temperature (Note: Guests can manually select heat or cool by pressing the OFF/AUTO button and cycling through OFF, AUTO, HEAT and COOL). The e528 is also an intelligent device capable of linking ancillary sensors and serving as an information gateway. For example, coupled with a magnetic door switch (wired or wireless), motion detectors, and other devices, the e528 becomes the brain of a highly effective Energy Management System (EMS) application, communicating EMS information requirements to central servers. It comes standard with five relays and can be equipped with a radio frequency (RF) transceiver and Passive Infrared (PIR) motion detector. The e529 interfaces with all common HVAC unit voltage configurations (24 volt to 277 volt). The e529 can be installed in a wireless INNCOM guestroom control system, which makes installation feasible and affordable in either new construction or retrofit installations. Through interfaces with other devices and sensors, the e529 supports the following functions: Remote HVAC control Guestroom HVAC diagnostics Remote room occupancy indication Automatic lighting control Remote mini-bar access reporting Remote smoke detector annunciation Central Electronic Lock control Humidity control Remote drape control Outside temperature display Peak demand load shedding Property/Building Management System (PMS/BMS) interface Rev 2.0 12/30/2016 3

Installation Placement CAUTION! The E529.4G is intended for indoor use only. The E529.4G installer must be a trained, experienced service technician. All wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances. Failure to follow the instructions provided with the product could damage the product or cause a hazardous condition. Since the E529.4G has the sensor to measure room temperature, it should be installed in a location that represents the desired room temperature. In addition, select a location that minimizes exposure to conditions that interfere with room temperature measurement, such as away from external doors or windows and areas in direct sunlight. RF is critical to the E529.4G s operation, so placement of the device and careful consideration of possible sources of radio interference are important. For instance, the unit should not be placed close to floor or ceiling or near pipe or other metallic items. Mounting Instructions 1. Separate the E529.4G body and the mounting plate by pulling the bottom of the mounting plate away from the E529.4G body and then pull the mounting plate down. NOTE: If the back-mounting plate is rotated more than 2 or 3 degrees, the plastic tabs at the top of the plate may fracture or break off. 2. Attach the mounting plate to the wall or electrical box with the arrow embossed on the mounting plate pointing upward. The E529.4G is provided with four 6-32 ¾ sheet metal screws for mounting the plate to an existing 4 4 electrical box. If attaching the mounting plate to sheetrock or a similar wall surface, install four 6-8 ¾ anchors. The four holes on the mounting plate can be used to mark the location for the anchors. 3. Install the four AA alkaline batteries (NOTE: Use alkaline batteries only) provided into the battery compartment located on the rear of the E529.4G. Depress the battery clamp latch at the top of the battery compartment and then swing open the battery clamp. Insert the 4 AA alkaline batteries, matching the + terminals on the batteries to the + symbols in the battery compartment. Close the battery clamp and verify the latch is securely fastened. 4. Verify that the E529.4G display is now showing information. At power ON (ie inserting the 4 AA batteries), confirm all segments and characters are displayed on the E529 LCD display. If the display is blank, verify that the Rev 2.0 12/30/2016 7
batteries are completely installed with the right polarities and that the batteries are not dead. Just after startup the E529 will cycle through RF Channels 26, 25, 24 all the way to 11 and send a 0x00061 Battery Powered thermostat exchange message on each RF Channel looking for a reply from an HVAC thermostat partner with the same Room ID currently stored in the E529.4G. You will typically not have the HVAC partner configured yet. Just allow this process to continue until completion. You will be configuring the actual Room ID and other required parameters into the E529.4G later. 5. Hook the tabs at the top rear of the E529.4G housing into the matching depressions at the top of mounting plate and rotate the bottom of the E529.4G housing toward the wall until it snaps into the place on the mounting plate. Secure the E529.4G housing to the mounting plate with the two small screws provided with the E529.4G. The screws thread into two small holes on the bottom of the E529.4G housing.
