Introduction Friedrich EMWRT2 Energy Management Thermostats for the hospitality industry deliver unprecedented energy savings without compromising guest comfort. An integrated occupancy sensor uses a combination of motion and thermal sensing technologies for accurate occupancy detection. Reliable occupancy detection allows saving energy when rooms are unoccupied.

Before You Begin Determine the appropriate installation location for the thermostat. The thermostat should face the bed area of the room. Set the PTAC/ Vert-I-Pak unit to “External Thermostat” (Class 2) mode. Consult the PTAC/ Vert-I-Pak unit documentation to determine how to set the PTAC/ Vert-I-Pak unit to “External Thermostat”...
The Thermostat and Control Card must be paired in order to operate together. Once paired, the thermostat cannot be used with another wireless control card without repeating the pairing procedure. Friedrich thermostats are pre-linked with the card in the box.
Thermostat Installation Installing the Wireless Control Card Unplug the PTAC/ Vert-I-Pak* unit from power supply Connect the low voltage wires to screw terminals on the PTAC/ Vert-I-Pak* unit low voltage terminal block - refer to the Wiring Table to determine proper connections.

Thermostat Configuration Testing the thermostat Following the thermostat configuration, test if the thermostat is controlling the HVAC unit. Press the “Power” button to turn the thermostat ON; Press the “Up” and “Down” buttons to change the temperature set point above and below the current room temperature to test if the thermostat initiates heating and cooling - the HVAC unit should turn heating and air conditioning on and off.
