The CHV-TSTATRF is a wireless networked thermostat featuring infiNET wireless technology. The CHV-TSTATRF is designed to be installed easily in place of a conventional type thermostat without requiring additional control network wiring. Although functional as a standalone thermostat, the CHV-TSTATRF delivers enhanced functionality as part of a complete Crestron Home® automation system communicating via the infiNET wireless control network.

Heat/Cool Thermostat

The CHV-TSTATRF is designed for heating and cooling control of baseboard, forced air, heat pump*, and dual-fuel heat pump* HVAC systems. The large backlit LCD display provides a clear view of current temperature, setpoint, system mode, fan mode, system status, and setup functions. Climate control features include separate heating and cooling setpoints, and adjustable anticipators to prevent overshooting the desired temperature. Continuous fan operation can be selected when needed for increased circulation.

infiNET™

Crestron's groundbreaking infiNET wireless technology affords reliable 2-way communications throughout a home or office structure without the need for physical control wiring. Numerous infiNET thermostats and other devices can be linked to a control system via a single RF gateway. Employing a 2.4 GHz mesh network topology, every infiNET device functions as an RF repeater†, increasing effective range and reinforcing the complete network by providing multiple redundant signal paths within the mesh network.

Automation System Integration

Its wireless connection to the control system allows the functions of the CHV-TSTATRF to be controlled from touchpanels, keypads, wireless remotes, and computers to support unlimited flexibility for remote control, scheduling, and integration with other devices and systems. However, in the event that communication with the control system is disrupted for any reason, the CHV-TSTATRF will remain operable to control the HVAC system.

Easy Installation

System design, installation, and upgrade using infiNET thermostats along with lighting dimmers and other devices could not be easier. Since there's no control wire required, the CHV-TSTATRF can be installed just like any conventional thermostat.

Setting up a complete network of infiNET devices is simple, utilizing dynamic discovery (self-install) to locate and acquire each RF device automatically. Setting the RF ID of each device employs the same convention as Crestron's familiar TSID method, and each device is programmable using Crestron SIMPL™Windows®, SystemBuilder™ or D3Pro™ software just like any wired Cresnet device. Even firmware updates are performed over the wireless network.

No further action is required to configure the infiNET network. Each device assigned to a common gateway automatically behaves as a repeater† for any other devices within range (approximately 150 feet indoors), and additional repeaters may be added if necessary. At all times, the infiNET gateway monitors each device on the network, ignoring any other 2.4 GHz signals, and reconfiguring the entire network automatically in response to new sources of interference and other changes in RF conditions.
