The TBZ500 Z-Wave Plus Thermostat is a programmable, Z-Wave communicating thermostat.
The TBZ500 Z-Wave Plus Thermostat is a programmable, Z-Wave communicating thermostat. It can be powered using 24VAC, or using four (4) AA batteries. Using Z-Wave technology, end users have the ability to use most compatible Z-Wave hubs/controllers to operate and animate the thermostat, configure programming settings, as well as to display current conditions in the home or office.

Operating instructions (4)
Inclusion is started by putting the controller into add node state and performing the General Programming Procedure. As part of the process, the thermostat sends a node information frame at normal power. Low power inclusion is not possible. General Programming Procedure (for controllers supporting the thermostat device class): 1. Set your primary controller to Include, add or Install mode, to add the thermostat as a node on your network (see your controller’s user manual for detailed instructions). 2. Press any button to take thermostat out of sleep mode. 3. Press and hold FAN button for 5 seconds. SETUP will be displayed in the status display line. 4. Scroll to “Z-Wave” using  buttons. Press SELECT. 5. When prompted by your Z-Wave controller, Press the YES button in the Z-Wave Install screen. 6. Press SELECT (mode button) to add thermostat to network. 7. Display line should fl ash WAIT then SUCCESS if Z-Wave connection is made. 8. If Z-Wave does not connect to controller, WAIT, then FAIL will flash in status display line. 9. If thermostat fails to connect, repeat Steps three (3) thru (7) to re-try connecting. Your controller will indicate the thermostat was successfully added to its network (see your controller’s user manual for details). Also, you can check if the thermostat was successfully added to the network by checking the ZHID (Home ID) and ZNID (Node ID) located in the Thermostat Info screen. For other specific tasks such as adding the thermostat to Scenes or Groups, or deleting the thermostat from an existing network, refer to the Z-Wave controller instructions.
Exclusion is started by putting the controller into remove node state and performing the General Programming Procedure. As part of the process, the thermostat sends a node information frame at normal power. Low power exclusion is not possible.
Factory Reset WARNING: Please use this procedure only when the Z-Wave Primary Controller is missing or otherwise inoperable. To reset the TBZ500's Z-Wave parameters to Factory Settings (both Z-Wave and HVAC settings): 1. Remove power from the TBZ500. 2. Power up the TBZ500 and when you see TBZ500 on the screen, hold down the MODE and FAN buttons simultaneously. 3. Release when RESET appears on the Status Line. 4. Once the TBZ500 resets the Z-Wave and HVAC settings, a DONE confirmation message will appear on the screen before the thermostat self-reboots.
