PRODUCT OVERVIEW  
This application guide provides application information and for  
Honeywell TB7200 and TB7300 Series communicating  
thermostats. When equipped with an occupancy sensor cover  
or a remote PIR sensor (wired to one of the remote inputs),  
these thermostats provide advanced active occupancy logic,  
which automatically switches occupancy levels from Occupied  
to Stand-by to Unoccupied as required by local activity being  
present or not. TB7200 and TB7300 Series thermostats can  
be ordered with an occupancy sensor cover or have one  
added at a later time. All thermostats are PIR ready. The  
occupancy sensor covers have an embedded, passive-infra-  
red motion detector designed to work with TB7200 and  
TB7300 thermostats. This advanced occupancy functionality  
provides advantageous energy savings during occupied hours  
without sacrificing occupant comfort.

OCCUPANCY SENSING CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS  
The following configuration parameters are specifically provided as standard on all TB7200 and TB7300 Series thermostats.  
They are associated with the advanced occupancy functionality introduced with the addition of a PIR cover or a remote PIR  
sensor. These parameters will allow the installer to set the thermostat occupancy functions exactly as required by the application.  
Their functionality only becomes active if a PIR occupancy sensor cover is connected or one of the binary/digital input is  
configured to use a remote PIR sensing device.  
Configuration Parameter  
Description of Configuration parameter  
It is possible to configure some of the digital or binary inputs to effectively use the  
advanced functions allowed by the installation of a door switch contact. This function is  
mostly used with fan coil units in lodging applications  
BI or DI input door setting  
When a door contact is used and configured, the Stand-By timer is no longer active.  
The occupancy toggle between occupied and stand-by is now dictated by both the door  
contact and the PIR cover.  
Default: None for no function used  
•
•
Movement detected by the PIR cover = Always occupied  
Door opens / closes detected by the door switch = Stand-by mode  
This parameter sets the stand-by heating setpoint value.  
Stand-by Heating Setpoint:  
The set value of this parameter should reside between the occupied and unoccupied  
heating setpoints and make sure that the difference between the stand-by and occupied  
value can be recovered in a timely fashion when movement is detected in the zone.  
Default: 69 °F (20.5 °C)  
Adjustable from 40 to 90 °F ( 4.5 to 32 °C ) in 0.5 degree increments.  
This parameter sets the stand-by cooling setpoint value.  
Stand-by Cooling Setpoint:  
Default: 78 °F (25.5 °C)  
Stand-by Time:  
The set value of this parameter should reside between the occupied and unoccupied  
cooling setpoints and make sure that the difference between the stand-by and occupied  
value can be recovered in a timely fashion when movement is detected in the zone.  
Adjustable from 54 to 100 °F ( 12.2 to 37.8 °C ) in 0.5 degree increments.  
This parameter sets the time delay between the moment where the PIR cover detected  
the last movement in the area and the time which the thermostat stand-by mode and  
setpoints become active.  
Default 0.5 hours  
Adjustable from 0.5 to 24 hours in .5hr increments  
If no movement is detected in the area and the current mode is stand-by, this parameter  
will then set the time delay between the moment where the thermostat toggles to stand-  
by mode and the time which the thermostat unoccupied mode and setpoints become  
active.  
Unoccupied Time:  
The factory value or 0.0 hours: Setting this parameter to its default value of 0.0 hours  
disables the unoccupied timer. This prevents the thermostat from drifting from stand-by  
mode to unoccupied mode when PIR functions are used  
Default 0.0 hours  
Adjustable from 0.0 to 24 hours in .5hr increments

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW  
When reviewing the following document and planning an application using a Honeywell thermostat with PIR functionality, please  
remember the important following notes:  
•
Configuration of PIR Functions: All PIR application related configuration parameters are displayed in the configuration menu  
or available as objects in the network object list. However, the advanced occupancy functionality of a PIR attached to a  
thermostat is only enabled if either:  
—
—
A Honeywell occupancy sensor cover is installed on the thermostat  
A remote input is configured as a remote PIR sensor ( Motion NO or Motion NC )  
•
PIR Cover Warm-Up Period: When occupancy sensor accessory cover is used and a thermostat is powered up; there will be a  
minute warm up period before any local movements can being detected and acknowledged by the PIR sensing device. The  
1
local status LEDs for the occupancy sensor cover will also not be active during that one minute period.  
Only when that 1 minute period has elapsed after initial power up of the thermostat will the PIR functionality and local  
movement status LEDs be activated.  
•
Setpoints: The implemented stand-by setpoints are under the same limitations and restrictions as the occupied and  
unoccupied ones. This means that:  
—
They use exactly the same range:  
•
Heating setpoints: 40 to 90 °F ( 4.5 to 32.0 °C )  
•
Cooling setpoints: 54 to 100 °F ( 12.0 to 37.5 °C )  
—
They are always limited by the applied minimum deadband configuration  
They will be limited by the Heat Maximum and Cool Minimum configuration parameters  
All individual cooling setpoints and all individual heating setpoints can be set independently. However, A typical arrangement  
will always have the set value of the stand-by parameters residing between the corresponding occupied and unoccupied set-  
point values.  
The installer must make sure that the difference between the stand-by and occupied value can be recovered in a timely  
fashion when movement is detected in the zone and large enough to warrant maximum energy savings.

Application Range: The range of applications covered with the PIR occupancy logic can be segmented in 2 categories in  
terms of functionality. Both use different settings and have different behaviors:  
—
—
Hotel and lodging applications  
Standard commercial applications  
Hotel and Lodging Applications can benefit the addition of an entry door switch wired to one of the appropriately configured  
remote input of a thermostat.  
When a door contact is used and configured, the Stand-By timer and its configuration are no longer active or used. The occu-  
pancy front toggle between occupied and stand-by is now simply dictated by both the door contact and the PIR sensing device  
used.  
If movements are detected by the PIR cover, the room will always be occupied. The switch back to stand-by mode will only  
happen if the door switch toggles open / close. Please review attached lodging application examples in the document for more  
information  
Standard Commercial Applications would not typically use a remote door switch contact attached to the thermostat.  
PIR occupancy functionality is simply dictated by both the Stand-By Timer and Unoccupied Timer configuration value and  
movements being present or not in the area. Please review attached typical commercial application examples in the document  
for more information

Unoccupied Timer Disable: In certain application cases, it may be desired to never let the local area enter the unoccupied  
mode and always stay at the stand-by occupancy level when no activity is present.  
This allows for advanced flexibility when used in conjunction with a network or in cases when areas always need to be on  
stand-by status ready to respond to demand at any point in time.

Network Priority and Local Occupancy Routine: The internal PIR occupancy logic implementation in conjunction with  
network commands has been conceived to give the most flexibility while allowing for simple implementation and use.

Network Occupancy Commands: All TB7200 and TB7300 series thermostat have 3 occupancy command levels. This is  
valid for all BACnet-MS-TP and wireless thermostats.  
Table 1. Three levels occupancy state level commands.  
State Occupancy  
Command Levels  
Function  
Local occupancy  
•
•
Releases the thermostat to its own occupancy schemes  
This may be a PIR sensing device, a local schedule or an occupancy routine done by one of the  
digital input  
•
•
This state command level is used to effectively release the thermostat to use the PIR functions  
Occupied  
Leaves the thermostat in occupied mode and cancels any local occupancy functions, including the  
PIR occupancy routine  
•
•
This state command level is used to force the zone to be always occupied  
Unoccupied  
Leaves the thermostat in unoccupied mode and cancels any local occupancy functions, including  
the PIR occupancy routine  
•
•
This state command level is used to force the zone to be always unoccupied.  
The only local possible command is a local override if the thermostat is equipped with such an  
option or if the local keypad lockout allows so  
Stand-by is never a commandable level. It only exists as a feedback status level.  
Network Occupancy Feedback Status: All TB7200 and TB7300 series thermostats have 4 occupancy feedback levels. This  
is valid for BACnet-MS-TP or wireless models.

Command Levels  
Function  
Override / By-Pass  
Indicates that the zone is currently local occupied override mode from the unoccupied state  
This function will operate like a normal local override and its time value is as dictated by the ToccTime  
configuration parameter setting  
Occupied  
Indicates that the zone is currently occupied  
This effective feedback state may be driven by a local occupancy routine like a PIR sensor or by an  
occupied network command  
Stand-By  
Indicates that the zone is currently in stand-by mode  
This effective feedback state can only be driven by a local PIR occupancy routine  
Unoccupied  
Indicates that the zone is currently unoccupied  
This effective feedback state may be driven by a local occupancy routine like a PIR sensor or by an  
unoccupied network command

At initial power-up, when the thermostat 24 Vac power supply is applied; if there is no occupancy network command received by  
the thermostat and if the PIR device does not detect any movement, the initial occupancy of the zone will be stand-by mode.  
Occupied state network command  
At any time, an occupied network command will always force the local zone to be in occupied mode and to use the occupied  
setpoints.  
Unoccupied state network command  
At any time, an unoccupied network command will always force the local zone to be in unoccupied mode and to use the  
unoccupied setpoints. If the thermostat local override function is not locked out by configuration, the local user may initiate a  
temporary local override to occupied as dictated by the temporary occupancy time configuration parameter setting.  
Local occupancy state network command  
If previously in unoccupied mode when the thermostat receives a local occupancy state network command, the local PIR  
occupancy loop will now be enabled. If the PIR device does not then detect any movement, the occupancy of the zone will be  
stand-by mode.  
As soon as the PIR device detects a movement or motion while in the local occupancy state network command, the occupancy  
status switches to occupied and the occupied setpoints are used.  
Anytime the PIR device detects local motion, the elapsed stand-by timer value will be reset. If no motion is detected in the zone  
for the entire stand-by timer duration, then the room switches to stand-by mode and the stand-by setpoints are used.  
While in stand-by mode, if no motion is detected in the zone for the entire unoccupied timer duration, then the room switches to  
unoccupied mode and the unoccupied setpoints are used.  
At anytime, if the PIR device detects a local movement or motion, the occupancy status switches to occupied and the occupied  
setpoints are used.
