STE-6000 Series Room Temperature Sensors 5 Applications Guide
Overview
Each STE-6012/6016 includes an
LCD display for the room tem-
perature and setpoint, which can
be toggled between Fahrenheit
(the default) and Celsius scales.
The sensor allows a user to adjust
the setpoint via the up and down
arrow buons on the front panel. If the system is in
standard mode (12 VDC applied to terminal D or the
green wire), pressing a buon will raise or lower the
setpoint. When either buon is pushed, the display
will toggle from room temperature to the setpoint.
The setpoint will increment or decrement (a degree
with each press) depending on the buon being
pressed. When the buon is released, the number
displayed is the new setpoint, and the display will
return to room temperature aer ten seconds. If the
system is in setback/setup (for heating/cooling) mode
(7.5 VDC applied to terminal D or the green wire),
pressing either buon selects override mode.
Controller Connection
For the STE-6012/6016, the controller will need signal
lines for two inputs (thermistor and setpoint), one
output (7.5/12 VDC supply), and common (ground).
Since each STE-6012/6016 has 0–5 volt DC outputs
for both the temperature and the setpoint lines,
turn o the corresponding 10,000 ohm pull-up
resistors on the controller board! Consult the
controller’s setup instructions for information on
turning o the pull-up resistors. For the other STE-
6000 series sensors, do not turn o the resistors on
the controller board as stated for the STE-6012/6016.
NOTE: For controller conguration instructions
for both WinControl and BACstage, see the
Controller Conguration section.
Fahrenheit/Celsius Display Selection
The STE-6012/6016 has an LCD display for showing
room temperature and setpoint. The display can be
toggled between Fahrenheit (the default) and Celsius
scales by performing the following procedure.
NOTE: Doing this erases any stored calibration
oset value (see below) and returns the
calibration to the default seing!
STE-6012/6016 Connection Configuration
1. Press and hold either the down or up arrow
buons for at least 20 seconds. The display will
toggle from one temperature scale to the other.
2. Release the buon.
NOTE: This seing is wrien to nonvolatile
memory and will be saved even if power to
the sensor is lost.
Temperature Calibration (Offset) Procedure
NOTE: The total oset value is limited to +/– 3
degrees from the default value.
The temperature value displayed by the STE-
6012/6016 may be ne-tuned if desired by
performing the following steps. The sensor must be
in a stable location and operating at least ten minutes
before calibrating. Hold an accurate thermometer
about an inch under the unit as a reference during
this procedure.
1. Click the down arrow buon to decrement the
setpoint to its lowest value, 40° Fahrenheit or
4° Celsius, then press and hold the down arrow
buon.
2. Aer holding the down arrow buon for about
ten seconds, the display will start ashing
the room temperature value and start an
approximately 15-second “exit calibration” timer.
NOTE: Entering the calibration mode erases any
previous saved oset value and will return
to the default seing.
3. While the room temperature value is ashing,
press the up or down arrow buon to modify the
room temperature value. Each press of the up or
down arrow buon will change the temperature
value by one degree.
4. The display will continue to ash for
approximately 15 seconds aer the last buon
press. Then the STE-6012/6016 will write the
modied value to memory and return to normal
operation.
NOTE: This procedure aects only the temperature
displayed on the LCD panel. It does not
aect the calibration or temperature value
in the controller. See also the WinControl
Thermistor Input controller conguration
instructions.
