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 in-

room 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.

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

6. Fan: Forces the fan into a fixed speed. The first press sets

low (LO) speed, pressing again sets medium (MED), and

another press sets high (HI). The fan speed cycle begins

again with the next push

7. DISPLAY: Cycles the LCD between the Set (selected)

temperature and the measured Room temperature. [Outdoor

temperature may also be displayed if the system is networked

to a server or the Web broadcasting readings from an outside

sensor.].

8. ecoMODE®button (Optional Feature): Pressing this

button allows the guest to voluntarily enable ecoMode

which opens the un-occupied temperature control band

used by +/- 1 degrees (default value is 1 but can be

increased)

button to toggle between each

5. Temperature Scale: Displays temperature in Fahrenheit

(°F) or Celsius (°C)

6. Network Connection Status: The presence of this “dot”

indicates the room is online and connected to the

INNCOM server. NOTE: As of 6/2016 this feature

DOES NOT currently work if using a CBL32 Room

Gateway such as an E528.4G or PC502.4G. You will

NOT get a Dot on the E529 display. You must use the

E529 rUn2 WAN Test to check that the room is

connected to the network

7. HVAC Control Mode: AUTO displayed when HVAC

control is in AUTO Mode.

8. Fan Speed (LO, MED or HI): Displayed when FAN

Installation

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.

Placement

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

E529 Product Guide

Rev 2.0 3/20/2017 8

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.
