TRANE wireless sensor ZSENS930AW00MA

The temperature and humidity of the room that matters, without running a wire

The thermostat is often installed in a hallway or near the entrance, where the electrician put it when the house was built. But that is not where you sleep, work or watch a movie. The Trane ZSENS930AW00MA is a wireless indoor temperature and humidity sensor that goes in the room of your choice and sends its readings to your Trane control over Z-Wave, with no wiring at all.

Compatible controls

The sensor works with the Trane XL824 (TCONT824), XL850 (TCONT850) and XL1050 (TZON1050) controls, in ComfortLink II and AccuLink systems. The control must have software version 5.1 or later. Our technicians check the version before installation and update it if needed.

Truly wireless

Communication is over Z-Wave, the wireless protocol of the bridges built into the XL824, XL850 and XL1050 controls. The sensor does not go through the home Wi-Fi network. It is powered by two AAA alkaline batteries. No wires to run through the walls: it is the ideal solution in a finished home, a renovated room or a finished basement where you do not want to open up the walls.

What it measures

The ZSENS930AW00MA measures temperature with an accuracy of ±1 °F, over an operating range of 32 to 104 °F (0 to 40 °C), as well as relative humidity between 10 and 90%, non-condensing. The control can thus take into account the actual conditions in the room where the sensor is located, not just those in the hallway.

Several sensors in a zoned system

In a zoned system, you can install up to 8 sensors. Each zone can thus have its own wireless reading, which simplifies a zoning project in an existing home.

Who it is for

This sensor suits owners of a compatible Trane control whose thermostat is poorly located, homes where one room is consistently too hot or too cold, and people who want the temperature to be right where they spend the most time: the main bedroom, the home office, the basement family room. It is also useful for zoning projects where wiring the sensors would be complicated.

Comfort in winter

In winter, a bedroom above the garage or at a corner of the house can be several degrees colder than the hallway. With a sensor in that room, the control can compensate. The humidity information also helps you keep an eye on the dry air typical of the cold months.

An accessory that adapts

Because it needs no wiring, the sensor can be moved if the use of a room changes: a child's bedroom turned into an office, a basement converted into a playroom. Simply mount it in the new location and check its reading on the control.

Installation and pairing by AirGreen

The installation

Our technicians choose the sensor's location with you: an interior wall of the room in question, at the usual height, away from windows, air vents and appliances that give off heat. The sensor is mounted, the batteries are installed, then it is paired with the Trane control over Z-Wave. We then configure the control to use the sensor's reading according to your preferences.

Maintenance

Replace the two AAA batteries when the control indicates it or once a year, ideally in the fall, before the heating season. Wipe the case with a dry cloth. If you rearrange the room, make sure not to place a lamp or electronic device directly below the sensor.
