TRANE Pivot smart thermostat TCONT830AS52DB

In a store, an office or a clinic, heating and cooling do not follow the same rules as at home. You need consistent comfort during business hours, savings in the evening and on weekends, a simple override for the employee who stays late, and above all no unauthorized setpoint changes. The Trane Pivot TCONT830AS52DB is a commercial smart thermostat designed for these requirements, with remote management through the Trane Pivot app.

The thermostat designed for businesses

Compatible systems

The Pivot controls commercial rooftop units and split systems, whether conventional or heat pump. In a conventional configuration, it handles up to 3 heating stages and 2 cooling stages, including gas/electric dual fuel. With a heat pump, it goes up to 5 heating stages and 2 cooling stages: 2 compressor stages and 3 backup heat stages. The reversing valve is selectable (O/B), and the thermostat offers compressor and backup heat lockouts. It is powered by 24 V AC.

Schedules that match your business hours

The 7-day programming accepts up to 6 events per day: 3 occupied periods and 3 unoccupied periods. A store open during the day with a break, an office closed on weekends or a clinic with variable hours will all find a configuration that fits. Heating and cooling follow the actual hours of occupancy, without depending on the memory of the last employee to leave the premises.

After-hours override

A single override button restores comfort after business hours, for an evening meeting or a weekend inventory count. The timed override is configurable: once the set time has elapsed, the thermostat returns on its own to the unoccupied schedule, which prevents a space heated for one evening from staying heated all night.

Access control

The Pivot offers 3 levels of access restriction and user management from a mobile device. The manager decides who can change what: an employee may be allowed to use the override, but not to change the schedule. No more setpoints pushed to the maximum in winter or to the minimum in summer by an uncomfortable occupant.

Managing several thermostats, or several sites

With the Trane Pivot app, the manager monitors and adjusts their thermostats remotely. Grouping makes it possible to apply an override to several devices at once and to send the same schedule to several Pivot thermostats. An owner of several branches or a building manager can thus align the programming of a whole fleet of equipment in a few minutes.

Connection

The thermostat connects over Wi-Fi or by Ethernet. A wired connection is often preferred in commercial settings, where wireless networks are sometimes congested or reserved for customers. The Pivot does not use Z-Wave and therefore does not support wireless sensors.

Ventilation and service

An occupancy output allows the ventilation to be controlled according to occupancy hours, to bring in fresh air when people are present. The service support with diagnostics features make the technician's work easier during a service call.

Screen and setpoint ranges

The touchscreen features customizable widgets that display the information useful for operations. Setpoints can be set from 55 to 99 °F in heating and from 60 to 99 °F in cooling. The case measures 5.43 in wide, 3.39 in high and 1.30 in deep.

Who it is for

The Pivot is intended for retail stores, offices, clinics, restaurants, daycare centres and small commercial buildings equipped with rooftop units or split systems. It is particularly well suited to businesses that have several locations to manage, or whose manager is not always on site.

Savings during the Quebec winter

A commercial space is unoccupied for a large part of the week: evenings, nights and often weekends. Heating those hours to the same level as business hours is a significant expense during the winter. Occupied/unoccupied schedules, timed override and access control prevent this waste, while ensuring the space is comfortable when employees and customers arrive.

The Pivot and Trane residential thermostats

Residential models such as the Priority, the XL824 or the XR724 are designed for the home: family schedules, voice control, personal comfort. The Pivot focuses instead on commercial logic: occupied and unoccupied periods, access restrictions, management of groups of thermostats and a ventilation output. For business premises, it is the right model.

Commercial installation by AirGreen

The installation

Our technicians identify the existing equipment, whether a rooftop unit or a split system, its number of stages and, if it is a heat pump, the reversing valve configuration. The Pivot is wired, configured, connected to the network over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, then paired with the Trane Pivot app. If the ventilation needs to follow occupancy, we connect the output provided for that purpose.

Commissioning

We set up with you the occupied/unoccupied schedule based on your business hours, the length of the after-hours override and each user's access level. If you have several Pivot thermostats, we create the groups and align the schedules.

Maintenance

Clean the screen with a soft, dry cloth. Review the schedule whenever your business hours or the season change. Have your rooftop units or split systems serviced regularly and replace the filters at the recommended intervals.
