User Interface Guide VT8600 Series SCHEDULE SETTINGS There are 7 different schedule setting screens, one for each day of the week, titled accordingly. Each day can have different scheduled events where the room controller is set to Occupied status or back to Unoccupied status and use the appropriate setpoints, back and forth up to 3 times per day.
User Interface Guide 7 VT8600 Series OCCUPANCY SETTINGS The occupancy settings screen allows you to determine how the Room Controller will determine whether it is functioning in Occupied or Unoccupied mode.

User Interface Guide VT8600 Series Heating only configuration Setpoint value shows if main display parameter is set to Setpoint. Time and Date show only when a network time synchronisation command is received. On/Off icon is used instead of system mode icon when sequence of operation is set to either heating on or cooling only. Setpoint adjustment for cooling mode In Cooling mode, the setpoint displayed in the bar is the current occupied cooling setpoint.
User Interface Guide 41 VT8600 Series Setpoint adjustment for heating mode In automatic mode, setpoint showing at the top of the set point bar located directly under the blue line represents the actual occupied cooling setpoint. During occupied setpoints adjustment, large digits are temporarily used to display the occupied Cooling Setpoint or occupied Heating Setpoint. The actual setpoint is dependent on the last effective demand (heating or cooling).

User Interface Guide VT8600 Series APPENDIX A: TERMINAL CORRESPONDENCE The terminals of an VT8600 are identified differently and have a wider range of possible functions compared to those of any of the VT7000 series Room Controllers. Nonetheless, there is a direct correspondence of functions between the terminals of the VT7000 series and the VT8600 series. Consult the table below to verify the appropriate terminal when replacing a VT7000 Room Controller with a VT8600 Room Controller.
