Can I use the PECO T8168B-2 BACnet Proportional thermostat on voltages higher than 30 VAC?
No. It is a 24 VAC low-voltage thermostat rated for 20-30 VAC input only. Installation Guide, p. 1
What does the PECO T8168B-2 BACnet Proportional proportional output band width of 2°F mean?
This is the temperature differential range over which the proportional outputs modulate for heating and cooling control. Installation Guide, p. 1
What does the Proportional Stroke Time setting on PECO T8168B-2 control?
It sets how long the proportional output takes to fully cycle. Default is 2 minutes and is configurable. Installation Guide, p. 1
What do the indicator lights mean on my thermostat display?
Red LED blinks when fault detection is active on open or closed conditions, or when a remote sensor has an open or short circuit fault. Installation Guide, p. 5
