Introduction Verdant VX Series Energy Management Thermostats for the hospitality industry deliver unprecedented energy savings without compromising guest comfort. Integrated occupancy sensor uses a combination of motion and thermal sensing technologies for accurate occupancy detection. Reliable occupancy detection allows saving energy when rooms are unoccupied. Energy saving presets eliminate the guesswork and make it easy to adjust the energy saving settings.
NOTICE FOR INSTALLATION OF NETWORKING THERMOSTATS WITH REMOTE MANAGEMENT, REFER TO THE “VX-TR NETWORK INSTALLATION” MANUAL. LOGIN TO THE REMOTE MANAGEMENT WEBSITE TO CONFIRM THE SERVER IS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET BEFORE INSTALLING THERMOSTATS. DO NOT INSTALL THERMOSTATS IF THE SERVER IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. STOP THE INSTALLATION AND CONTACT VERDANT TECHNICAL SUPPORT. START BY FIRST INSTALLING A THERMOSTAT IN THE ROOM CLOSEST TO THE SERVER.
Before You Begin ➤➤ Determine the appropriate installation location for the thermostat. THERMOSTAT SHOULD FACE THE BED AREA OF THE ROOM. THERMOSTAT MUST NOT BE INSTALLED NEAR OR ON METAL STRUCTURES OR SURFACES INCLUDING METAL AIR DUCTING THAT MAY BE IN THE WALL. METAL STRUCTURES AND SURFACES SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE RANGE OF THE WIRELESS SIGNAL. ➤➤ 8 Set the HVAC unit to “External Thermostat” (Class 2) mode.
Before You Begin Programming a Thermostat with a Network Programmer In case of Network Installation with Remote Management, the thermostat must be programmed with a Network Programmer specific to the property before the installation. Thermostat must not be powered during the programming procedure.. ➤➤ Plug one programmer connector into the thermostat; ➤➤ Push the black button on the programmer.
Thermostat Installation Mounting the thermostat to the wall ➤➤ Power of the HVAC unit; ➤➤ Remove the thermostat cover; ➤➤ Connect the thermostat wires to the supplied Wiring Harness - refer to the Wiring Table to determine proper connections; ➤➤ Plug in the Wiring Harness into to the thermostat; ➤➤ Use the supplied wall anchors and mounting screws to secure the thermostat to the wall; ➤➤ Follow the “Thermostat Configuration” instructions; ➤➤ Replace the thermostat cover and screw in the locking

Custom Energy Savings Settings 04 – 1ST STAGE DIFFERENTIAL - COOL 02-30 24 (0.2°F - 3.0°F; 0.5°F* default setting) Select the number of degrees the thermostat has to sense between the automatic changeover temperature for cool and the room temperature before a call for the 1st stage cooling is initiated.
Custom Energy Savings Settings 05 – INCIDENTAL OCCUPANCY THRESHOLD 00-60 (05* default setting) Select the minimum period of time (in minutes) for which occupancy needs to be detected to enter the guest occupancy mode. When occupancy is detected, thermostat will switch to occupied mode for a duration of “Incidental Occupancy Threshold” selected here.
Custom Energy Savings Settings 06 – NIGHT OCCUPANCY THRESHOLD 00-60 (01* default setting) Select the minimum period of time (in minutes) for which occupancy needs to be detected in order to consider the room occupied during the “Night Occupancy”period. When occupancy is detected during the “Night Occupancy Period” for longer than the “Night Occupancy Threshold” selected here, the thermostat will instantaneously switch to occupied mode.
Custom Energy Savings Settings 07 – FORCED 2ND STAGE HEATING 00-60 (30* default setting) Select a number of minutes 1st stage heating will run before 2nd stage heating is automatically initiated if the guest set point is not reached and the 2nd stage heating is not initiated through differential settings. This feature allows automatically turning on 2nd stage heating to avoid excessive compressor use. Set to 00 to disable the feature.
Custom Energy Savings Settings 08 – NIGHT OCCUPANCY START 00-23 (21* default setting) Select the start time (in hours - 24-hour clock) for “Night Occupancy” If occupancy is detected for a period of time longer than the “Night Occupancy Threshold” during “Night Occupancy” period, the thermostat will disable the occupancy sensor and consider the room occupied until the end of the “Night Occupancy” period.
Custom Energy Savings Settings 09 – NIGHT OCCUPANCY END 00-23 (09* default setting) Select the time (in hours - 24-hour clock) for “Night Occupancy” to end. The time of day the “Night Occupancy” ends and the thermostat switches back to the room sensing settings chosen in the other occupancy modes.
Custom Energy Savings Settings 10 – TEMPERATURE RECOVERY TIME 00-60 (25* default setting) Select the maximum time allowed for a PTAC unit to attain temperature as defined by Heat and Cool “Recovery Temperature”. “Temperature Recovery Time” selected here and the actual temperature recovery ability of the PTAC unit are used to calculate setback temperatures.
