General
The TF428 series digital thermostat is designed for 3-speed
fan and valve control in a fan coil system, including:
2-pipe cool only/heat only/manual changeover
4-pipe cool/heat manual /automatic changeover
Ventilation mode
Manual or automatic 3-speed fan control
Water valve control
Besides the basic controls, TF428 series featuring CPH
(Cycle Per Hour) better maintains the room temperature to
the setpoint and Random Start-up Function would help to
maintain power grid stability.
In addition, Honeywell Memorized Time Off Function can
automatically turn off the thermostat to save energy.

4A: When the load of the thermostat is resistance

3A: When the load of the thermostat is inductance

For Fan load 4(2)A

4A:when the load is resistance; 2A:When the load is inductance

For Valve load 2(1)A

2A: when the load is resistance;1A: when the load is inductance
The valve need have overtravel-limit organ to turn off the load.

Memorized Time Off

The time off feature will automatically turn off the thermostat
after a selectable amount of time. To change the time setting,
press and hold the power button for more than 3 seconds and
press up and down button to change the value when the
thermostat is working .
NOTE: The setting range is from 0 to 12 hours. The step is 1
hour and the default value is 0.

Backlight

Function

To turn on the backlight, press any key. The backlight will timeout 8 seconds after the last key is pressed. When in ISU and
Installation test mode, the backlight will timeout 60 seconds
after the last key is pressed.

Valve Control

Fan Speed is medium or off

Fan Speed is low or off

Keypad lockout can be set in ISU and the default status is all
keys available. Keypad lock can be optioned to mode button
locked, Fan and mode buttons locked, all buttons (except
power button) locked and all buttons locked.

Temperature Display
The displayed temperature can be set to room temperature or
setpoint. The setting can be changed during ISU (Installation
Set Up) process.

Cycle Per Hour (CPH)

In order to achieve more accurate temperature control, the
CPH function enables the thermostat to open the valve several
times per hour as the room temperature gets close to the sepoint.
The value can be changed in the ISU, but the default values
are 4 for heating and 3 for cooling.

Setpoint

HEAT

Difference between RT and SP

Thermostat measures the room temperature via integrated

sensor or remote temperature sensor and maintains the setpoint by delivering on/off valve control command outputs.
The fan setting can be selected as manual or automatic 3speed operation. When in manual mode, the fan is switched
to the selected speed via control output FH (high), FM
(Medium) , FL (Low).
While in automatic mode, fan speed depends on the difference between room temperature and setpoint. When room

temperature reaches the setpoint, the valve will be closed, and
the fan will be closed in the meanwhile.

Ventilation Mode

Operating Mode

Press mode button to enter ventilation mode. In ventilation

mode, no output for valve while the fan will operate at selected
fan speed.

Comfort Mode
In comfort mode, the setpoint and fan speed can be changed
by pressing corresponding buttons. Comfort mode including 2pipe cool only/heat only/manual changeover and 4-pipe manual /automatic changeover.

Energy Saving Mode

A dry contact (such as hotel card) or button press (press and
hold the mode button for more than 3 seconds) can activate
the energy saving mode. The dry contact can be selected as
normal open or normal close in ISU.
If activated by dry contact, all buttons will be locked except the
multi-key for ISU. If activated by button press, any button press
can stop energy saving mode.
The setpoint will change to the remote setback heating/cooling
setpoint when the energy saving mode is enabled. The heating
setpoint range is 10C to 21C and the default is 18C. The
cooling setpoint range is 22C to 32C and the default is 26C.

Freeze Protection Mode

Freeze protection can be selected as disabled (default) or
enabled in the ISU. In freeze protection mode (only in heating
applications), when thermostat is off and the temperature is
below 6C , the thermostat will activate heating mode until the
temperature rises to 8C .

Installation and Wiring

The screws must be locked tightly to avoid wire break off from the terminals.
The temperature of mounting box and wall should be in the operating temperature range.
