. Introduction  
The TB6980/TB7980 digital thermostats provide proportional plus  
integral individual space temperature control in zoned commercial  
HVAC systems such as hydronic and pressure dependent VAV with  
or without reheat. There are four different models:  
Configuration and status display  
TB7980A (single output, modulating)  
TB7980B (multiple output modulating)  
TB6980A (single output, floating)  
TB6980B (multiple output, floating)  
Heating mode  
Cooling mode  
Depending on the models, the thermostat can have up to three out-  
puts for the following applications:  
Temperature display  
Output power display  
Floating or Modulating damper/valve actuator control  
Damper/valve actuator control with duct reheat and auxiliary  
heat (B models only)

.1 Mounting Instructions  
2.2 Terminal Designations  
1.  
Remove the thermostat from its base by unscrewing the cap-  
tive screw and tilting the bottom of the thermostat up. The  
screw cannot be completely removed.  
The designations of the terminals vary according to the particular  
model of thermostat. Refer to the following table for the description  
of each terminal.

.3.2 Minimum Opening  
To control the temperature at the fresh air supply using  
the 50014157-001 temperature sensor (the internal  
sensor is not used)  
The minimum damper opening can be set between 0 and 50 %.  
Note: It is not recommended to set the minimum damper opening to  
0 % (fully closed) when a duct heater is connected to Output 2 or 3.  
To control the ambient temperature using the internal

for automatic changeover. See section 5.5.1.  
Automatic  
changeover  
4.3.3 Opening time (TB6980 models only)  
To use the outdoor air for cooling whenever possible.  
The 50014157-001 temperature sensor is used to  
measure the outdoor air temperature. The internal  
temperature sensor measures the room temperature  
which is then compared with the setpoint. If the room  
temperature is lower than the setpoint, the air intake  
damper remains closed. If the room temperature is  
higher than the setpoint, the latter is then compared with  
the outdoor temperature. If the fresh air temperature is  
lower than the setpoint by more than 5°F(3°C), the  
damper opens to allow cool air in.  
The damper opening time can be set between 80 and 160 seconds.  
4.4 Output 2 (models TB6980B and TB7980B)  
Output 2 controls heating only, regardless of the thermostat’s mode.  
When the thermostat is in heat mode, Output 2 is activated as soon  
as Output 1 reaches its full capacity. When the thermostat is in cool  
mode, Output 2 is activated when the measured temperature drops  
below the setpoint.

4.3 Output 1  
Output 1 is used to control a damper. It controls heating when the

contact is open (see section 5.5.2).  
When configured as a contact (see section 4.5), Output 3 controls  
either heating or cooling depending on whether the default mode  
is set to heat or cool respectively.  
Note: If 0-4 is selected, set the SW6 switch to Triac. If 5-8 is  
selected, set the switch to Analog (see section 4.7)

.Operation  
5.1 Power-Up  
Upon power-up, the thermostat undergoes a series of test before  
displaying the actual temperature.  
Note: On the TB6980A and TB6980B models, at power-up, the  
message OPEN appears at the top of the screen during the calibra-  
tion of the damper opening. This can last up to 3 minutes.  
5
.2 Backlight  
To turn the backlight on, press any button. The display will illuminate  
for 12 seconds.  
When setting 5 is selected, Output 3 controls heating or cooling  
depending on whether the default mode has been set to heat or  
cool respectively (see section 4.3.1). For example, if the default  
mode has been set to heat mode, the contact remains opened when  
the thermostat is in cool mode. When the thermostat is in heat  
mode, the contact closes when Output 1 reaches a percentage of its  
capacity, set via the configuration menu.  
5.3 Temperature Display and Setting  
The thermostat usually displays the actual temperature. To view the  
setpoint, press once on one of the

buttons. The setpoint  
Note: The temperature setpoint is automatically increased or  
decreased by 2°F (1°C) when the controller switches to heating  
mode or to cooling mode respectively. For example, if the setpoint is  
at 77°F (25°C) in heating mode, it will become 79°F (26°C) in cool-  
ing mode and will return to 77°F (25°C) when the controller is back  
in heating mode.  
5.4 Output Display  
The bar graph represents the voltage for an analog out-  
put or the duty cycle for a triac output. The bar graph  
usually shows Output 1 power (% of damper opening).  
To view Output 2 or 3, press Override for 2 seconds to  
enter the diagnostic mode. Press Override momentarily  
to switch between the three output graphs. To exit the  
diagnostic mode, press Override for 2 seconds or wait  
for 1 minute for the mode to exit automatically.

.6 Minimum and Maximum Setpoints  
The minimum and maximum setpoints are factory-set at 50°F

5°F (35°C) and “minimum setpoint + 1”. The minimum setpoint can

In automatic changeover, the thermostat detects when the system  
switches between heat mode and cool mode by comparing the air  
supply temperature with the ambient temperature. If the thermostat  
is in heat mode, it switches to cool mode when the air supply is  
cooler than ambient by 9°F (5°C) or more. If it is in cool mode, it  
switches to heat mode when the air supply is warmer than ambient  
by 9°F (5°C) or more.

.6 Night Setback  
Honeywell warrants this product, excluding battery, to be free from defects in  
the workmanship or materials, under normal use and service, for a period of  
two (2) years from the date of purchase by the consumer. If at any time dur-  
ing the warranty period the product is determined to be defective or malfunc-  
tions, Honeywell shall repair or replace it (at Honeywell's option).  
If the product is defective,  
The Night Setback (NSB) mode is activated when the  
contact between terminals 9 and 12 is closed. When the  
thermostat is in the NSB mode, indicated by the ECONO  
display, the temperature is lowered or raised by the set  
NSB value depending whether the thermostat is in heat  
mode or cool mode respectively. The NSB value is set via the con-  
figuration menu.
