HS-EMS400 Single-Compressor Heat Pump Thermostat

HS-EMS400
Single-Compressor Heat Pump Thermostat
Installation Instructions
Introduction
Thermostat Cover Lock
The HS-EMS400 is a 1 Heat / 1 Cool / Emergency Heat Electronic Digital
Communicating Non-programmable Thermostat designed for control of single compressor Heat Pumps. It features an easy-to-read vertical LCD that
displays the current temperature and complete operation status. A direct
wire, easy-to-install backplate mounts on a standard vertical outlet box or
any drywall surface using the anchors and hardware provided.
This thermostat is designed to accept up to 6 indoor remote temperature sensors (HS-EMS-ITS) or 5 indoor and 1 outdoor (HS-EMS-OTS) remote temperature sensors. When indoor sensors are connected to the thermostat, the
temperature sensor (thermistor) on the thermostat is disabled. For temperature averaging at least two HS-EMS-ITS indoor remote sensors are required.
For additional information and wiring diagram for remote temperature sensors, refer to the Installation Instructions included with the sensors.
The HS-EMS400 connects to an Escort/VPM5580TC, allowing the user to
change temperature settings through premise or remote touch tone telephones. The Escort/VPM5580TC can announce the indoor temperature and
if an HS-EMS-OTS is connected, the outdoor temperature as well. Compatible LCD keypads can also display the temperature and allow the user to
access the temperature controls (requires LCD5500 v2.1 or higher).
For information on thermostat access and control using the Escort/
VPM5580TC, please refer to the Installation Instructions included with the
Escort/VPM.
Insert the plastic lock piece into the bottom of the mounted base. The ends of
the lock piece fit snugly under the lock pins extending from the bottom of the
mounted base. The tab in the middle of the lock piece extends down from the
base. To release the locking mechanism, press the lock piece up and into the
base while gently prying open.
Location
For accurate temperature detection, the thermostat should be mounted on an
inside wall, 46 cm (18”) from any outside wall, in a frequently occupied area
with freely circulating air. It should be approximately 1.5 m (5’) above the
floor. Avoid direct sunlight, radiant heat from appliances, air conditioner
grills, stairwells, water pipes, warm air stacks, and sources of electrical interference such as arcing relay contacts.
Pre-Wiring
The HS-EMS400 requires a 7 conductor wire when connected to a multistage heating and cooling system plus an additional 3 conductor wire when
connected to a security system through an Escort or VPM module.
Installation
1. Remove the thermostat cover. Insert a flat blade screwdriver, approximately 3 mm (1/8”) into the slot located in the bottom center of the
case. Twist ¼ turn to pop the thermostat loose from the backplate.
2. Swing the thermostat out from the bottom (hinge at top) and lift the
thermostat up and off the backplate.
3. Place the backplate opening over the control wires protruding from the
wall. Use the backplate to mark the location of two mounting holes.
4. Drill two 5 mm (3/16”) mounting holes at the marked locations. Tap the
supplied nylon anchors flush to the wall and fasten the backplate using
the supplied screws. Do not over tighten.
5. Connect the control wires to the thermostat as shown in the appropriate
wiring diagram. Push any slack wire back into wall. Ensure that the
wires are flush with the backplate. Seal the access hole to prevent
drafts from affecting thermostat performance.
6. Install optional setback and indoor/outdoor remote sensors, if used.
7. Replace the thermostat by inserting the tabs into the hinge slots at the
top of the backplate. Gently swing the thermostat downward and snap
it into place.
8. Replace the thermostat cover.
Thermistor Position
When placing the front cover on the thermostat, ensure that the thermistor is
not touching the case. The thermistor should be placed horizontal to the wall
and visible between the ribs of the case.
DIP Switch Settings and Functions
The DIP switches are located on the interior of the thermostat and can be set
in either the ON or OFF position depending on the installation.The default

HS-EMS400
Single-Compressor Heat Pump Thermostat
Operating Instructions
Introduction
The HS-EMS400 Digital Communicating Thermostat is designed to provide accurate control and display of room temperature. The thermostat normally displays room temperature, mode of operation (i.e. Day or Night),
and whether Cooling or Heating is currently on. The six buttons on the
front of the unit allow complete control of the thermostat. You may specify
different Heating and Cooling setpoints, and change them easily by pushing
a button. Temperature can be displayed in either °C or °F. The thermostat
also allows you to select either continuous fan operation, or fan operation
only during operation of the heating/cooling device(s).
Modes of Operation
Select the desired mode of operation by toggling the MODE button:
Mode
Outdoor
Fan
Day/Night
❄ —indicates Cooling system only. “COOL” is displayed for 5 seconds.
—indicates Heating system only. “HEAT” is displayed for 5 seconds.
❄ —indicates both the Heating and Cooling (automatic). “AUTO” is
displayed for 5 seconds).
❄ (flashing)—indicates Cool is ON.
(flashing)—indicates Heat is ON.
Eht - indicates Emergency Heat
OFF—shuts off thermostat. Heating and Cooling systems will not operate.
Fan operation is still possible.
Caution: Avoid using the OFF mode during cold weather to prevent damage from freezing.
Temperature Control
Day/Night Button
Cooling: ❄
The Day/Night button is used to select the Occupancy setting. When first
installed, the thermostat is set to Day occupancy setting and the display will
Select the temperature you want the thermostat to maintain while in Cool
mode, press the mode button until Cool mode is selected, then press the
or
buttons until the desired temperature is displayed. The cooling setpoint temperature is displayed for 5 seconds.
Heating:
Select the temperature you want the thermostat to maintain while in Heat
mode, press the mode button until Heat mode is selected, then press the
or
buttons until the desired temperature is displayed. The heating setpoint temperature is displayed for 5 seconds.
❄
Auto:
The thermostat will automatically switch from heating to cooling as determined by the selected setpoints in heating and cooling.
NOTE: The thermostat will not allow less than 1 C (2 F) difference
between the heating and cooling setpoints.
show the
symbol and the Day temperature. By pressing the Day/Night
button you can change to the Night occupancy setting and the display will
show the
symbol and the Night temperature. This button can be used to
toggle between Day and Night modes. Within each mode the temperature
can be modified. The thermostat will remember any new settings.
Celsius/Fahrenheit
Simultaneously press
and
to toggle between Celsius ( C) and Fahrenheit ( F) temperature display.
Optional Indoor/Outdoor Remote Sensors
The Fan will come on automatically when the system is operating, but there
is no indication of this on the display. To select continuous Fan operation,
press the FAN button and the display will show . This is recommended
for electronic air cleaners and continuous ventilation requirements.
The thermostat can accept indoor and outdoor remote temperature sensors
(EMS-ITS and EMS-OTS) for monitoring of temperatures where these
sensors are located.
Connecting indoor sensors disables the temperature sensor on the thermostat thereby increasing the flexibility of where the thermostat can be
located. For temperature averaging over a large area, a minimum of two
indoor sensors are required.
Indoor and outdoor sensors are available separately. For more details about
installing these sensors, please refer to the Installation Instructions included
with the sensors.
Outdoor (ODT) Button
Temperature Accuracy
When the outdoor temperature sensor option is connected to your thermostat, you can display the current outdoor temperature by pressing the button. If this option is not connected, the thermostat will display _ _
with
no numbers.
Full accuracy is only achieved after the thermostat has been installed and
powered for at least one hour.

Emergency Heat Indication
Power Failures
No battery is required to maintain the temperature setpoints in the case of a
power loss, regardless of duration.
The center LED at the top of the thermostat lights when the system calls for
Emergency (Auxiliary) Heat.
