Installation instructions
Factory reset Element Thermostat V2
Reset will restore the thermostat settings to the factory defaults. It will also disconnect the thermostat from the
Z-Wave network.
1. Press the DOWN arrow to highlight Reset, then press the SIDE button.
2. Confirm that you want to reset the thermostat, select yes, then press the SIDE button. The thermostat resets.
Please use this procedure only when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
The thermostat’s node type is pre-determined 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 off to help conserve battery life. The thermostat 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 pre-determined 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.
