Product Overview
Z-Wave and Power Supply
The thermostat’s node type is xed when it connects to
the Z-Wave network; if the C-Wire is not connected and is
only battery-powered when connecting to the network, the
thermostat will remain a frequent listening routing slave (FLiRS) node
until it is removed from the network.
When your thermostat is running on battery power, the Z-Wave
radio will turn o to help conserve battery life. The CT102 Z-Wave
radio module supports Z-Wave beaming, which allows other
devices in the network to wake up the Z-Wave module and accept
commands and then go back to sleep.
When your thermostat is running on C-Wire power, the Z-Wave radio
will stay on and actively help route messages within the Z-Wave
network. The thermostat’s node type is xed when it connects to
the Z-Wave network; if the C-Wire is present and powered when
connecting to the network, the thermostat will remain an always-
listening node until it is removed from the network.
Z-Wave and HVAC Setup
Do not change the HVAC setup or HVAC selection switches
if the thermostat is connected to a Z-Wave network.
If you need to change the HVAC system:
1. Remove the thermostat from the Z-Wave network.
2. Change the HVAC Setup selection. See Install Guide page 18 for
full instructions.
3. Connect the thermostat to the Z-Wave network.

Z-Wave and Thermostat Program
To get the most out of your new thermostat, it needs to be paired
to a Z-Wave system. When you are paired to a Z-Wave system,
the Z-Wave application on your device controls your thermostat’s
programs. You can still temporarily override settings on the
thermostat itself, but otherwise you can control it remotely. No
Z-WAVE system? See “Customizing Programming” on page 18.
