Airtouch Intelligent Temperature Sensors

ITS Sensors

You can setup your ITS sensors to monitor and control your climate in each zone. By default, ITS sensors will monitor the temperature in a zone and let you turn that zone's air conditioning on or off.

ITS Sensors can also be configured as a remote switch for the air conditioning unit for the entire house.

Position ITS sensors 1.5m above the ground, on an internal wall, in an area with good air circulation and out of direct sunlight. Sensors should be as close as practical to the Main Module.

Setting Up ITS Sensors

1. Configure the Zone Dial

   Rotate the arrow on the zone dial that corresponds with the zone you wish to pair it with. Eg, for your first zone use 1. Zones 10-15 are labelled as A-F, Zone 16 is 0 on the zone dial.

   To check your zone numbers go to Settings>Zones on the AirTouch 5 console.

   If ITC is set as AC sensor assign the zone dial to the desired AC number (AC Setup screen).

   Zone Dial Configuration:

   • Zone 1-9: Use numbers 1-9
   • Zone 10-15: Use letters A-F
   • Zone 16: Use number 0

2. Configure the Dip Switches

   Normally 1 sensor is assigned to 1 zone. If you need a second sensor in a zone set the SUB IO to On.

   To use ITS as an AC unit sensor set Free IO to On.

   Dip Switch Settings:

   • Sensor 1 / Sensor 2: Typically set to 'Off' unless using multiple sensors in one zone.
   • SUB IO: Set to 'On' if using a second sensor in the same zone.
   • Free IO: Set to 'On' if using the ITS as an AC unit sensor.

3. Pair Sensors to AirTouch

   To begin pairing your Sensor, first remove the battery preserver (for new ITSs). Ensure the zone dial and dip switches are set correctly then follow the steps below.

   1. Open the Quick Menu & select Settings tab.
   2. Select Sensors.
   3. Press Start Sensor Pairing.
   4. On the Sensor, press and hold the Zone Button for 5 seconds until the LED turns blue or red (or green for AC sensor). The zone name will appear on the Sensors page when the pairing is successful.
   5. Repeat step 3.4 for each sensor you wish to pair.
   6. Press Stop Sensor Pairing. Your sensor is now paired.
   7. On the home screen, zones with ITS have a box around the zone value. Tapping the zone value will change between temperature and air volume.

Select How ITS Sensors Function

1. Zone Switch (Default)

   By default, zone sensor ITS will function as a zone switch. When you press the button the ring light will indicate the current state of the zone (On/Off). Pressing the button again will change the state of the zone.

   In zone switch mode, ITS only checks the state of the zone it is assigned to. It does not check the state of the AC unit. If the AC unit is Off and the zone is On, the ITS light will be blue.

   Zone States:

   • Zone On
   • Zone Off

2. Zone + AC Switch

   When ITS is set up as Zone + AC switch, ITS will check and indicate both the state of the zone and the state of the AC unit.

   Pressing the button will display the state of the unit. If the ITS displays a green, aqua or blue light, the second press will turn off the zone and AC unit. If ITS displays a red light, the second press will turn On the zone and AC unit.

   To setup ITS as a Zone + AC switch, go to Quick Menu>Settings>Sensors>Sensor Name and select the enable AC Switch button.

   AC Unit States:

   • AC Unit On, Zone On
   • AC Unit On, Zone Off
   • AC Unit Off, Zone On
   • AC Unit Off, Zone Off

3. AC Sensor/Remote Switch

   ITS as an AC sensor only controls an AC unit; it does not check the state of any zones. It can also be used as a switch for your AC unit.

   When the button is pressed, it will indicate the state of the AC unit (On/Off).

   If AC switch is not enabled, a second press will do nothing. If AC switch is enabled, a second press will change the state of the AC unit.

   To use ITS as an AC sensor, dip switch setting must be adjusted prior to pairing.

   To enable AC sensor ITSs as an AC switch, go to Quick Menu>Settings>Sensors>Sensor Name and select the enable AC Switch button.

   To use the AC sensor as a control sensor, it must be set in installer settings (this must be done by a trained installer). Go to Settings>Installer>AC Setup and select the ITC as the control sensor.

Replacing the Battery

1. Remove the Sensor cover from the wall.
2. Remove the retaining screw holding the battery cover in place, then remove the flat battery.
3. When replacing the battery, press and hold the Zone Button after removing the dead battery for 5 seconds to remove any residual charge from the circuit.
4. Replace the battery with a fresh 3V CR2450.

When the battery is low, a Low Battery icon [!] will appear near the zone name of the sensor. A good battery will last for around 1½ to 2 years. When the battery is flat, the zone will change to % control if there are no other sensors in it.

LED Indicators

Solid Light: On/Off

Single colour flashing every 1s: Low Battery

All colours alternating every 1s: Not Paired

All colours alternating every 0.2s: Lost Connection

Note: The maximum number of ITSs in a system is 32. If pairing an ITS would exceed the limit of 32, the sensor will not pair; another sensor must be deleted before the new one can be paired. If a sensor is deleted and replaced with another ITS that has the same settings, ensure the battery in the old ITS is removed.
