Frequently Asked Questions - CHV-RSS Crestron

How do I set the desired humidity level on the CHV-RSS?

Use the touch panel or Crestron remote to navigate to humidifier settings. Press the Humidity Setpoint button, then use the arrow keys to adjust between 30% and 90%.

What type of filter does the Crestron CHV-RSS use and how often should it be replaced?

It uses a standard wicking filter. Replace every 3 months or more often in hard water areas. Use only Crestron approved filters (model CHF-100).

Can the CHV-RSS be integrated with my existing Crestron home automation system?

Yes, the CHV-RSS is designed for full integration. Connect via Crestron Cresnet or Wi-Fi and control via the Crestron app or touch panels.

Why is my humidifier not turning on?

Check power connection and ensure the water tank is properly seated. Also verify that the auto shut-off hasn't triggered due to an empty tank or achieved setpoint.

How do I clean the water tank?

Remove the tank, empty any water, and wash with mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reinstalling.

Does the CHV-RSS require a dedicated circuit?

No, it plugs into a standard 120V outlet. However, ensure the circuit is not shared with high-power devices to avoid tripping the breaker.

What is the maximum area the CHV-RSS can humidify?

It effectively humidifies spaces up to 500 square feet. For larger areas, multiple units or a central system may be needed.

The display shows an error code E1. What does it mean?

Error E1 indicates a water leak or sensor issue. Check for leaks around the tank and base. If no leak, reset the unit by unplugging for 30 seconds.

Can I use essential oils in the CHV-RSS?

No, do not add essential oils or additives. They can damage the filter and internal components. Use only clean water.

Where can I find the user manual for the Crestron CHV-RSS?

The manual is available for free download on notice-facile.com. Search for 'Crestron CHV-RSS' and download the PDF.

Remote Slab Sensor and Outdoor Temperature Sensor: CHV-RSS

Introduction

The CHV-RSS is a remote temperature sensor designed for use with select Crestron ^® thermostats. Ideally suited for concrete slab, under floor, or any outdoor installation, the CHV-RSS is an extremely accurate temperature sensor potted within a rugged waterproof stainless steel sleeve. Using CAT5 or similar low capacitance wire, the remote sensor may be mounted up to 500 feet (153 meters) from the thermostat. One-piece mounting and a single non-polarized twisted-pair connection make the CHV-RSS simple to install. Up to four CHV-RSS sensors may be connected to a single CHV-THSTAT, CHV-TSTAT, CHV-STATEX or CHV-TSTATEX-FCU thermostat (all sold separately).

NOTE: When connecting a CHV-RSS sensor to a CHV-THSTAT or a CHV-TSTAT (models without infiNET EX ^® ), note the following firmware differences:

• Thermostat firmware version 1.xx supports two optional remote sensors. Thermostat firmware version 2.xx and later supports four optional remote sensor inputs, in any combination, for each thermostat.
• Firmware version 2.xx and later is required if the CHV-RSS is to be used as a slab temperature sensor. Any firmware version may be used to operate the CHV-RSS as an outdoor temperature sensor.

NOTE: If the maximum number of sensors is exceeded, some of the sensors will be ignored by the system.

Physical Description

This section provides information on the connections, controls and indicators available on the CHV-RSS.

CHV-RSS Overall Dimensions

Setup

Tile or Wood Floor Installation

Crestron recommends the sensor be placed inside a 1/2 inch (13 mm) Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) conduit. This allows future sensor replacement, if required. The radius of the bend at the wall should be approximately 8 inches (203 mm), to allow for removal and replacement of the sensor.

Sensor Position (Side View)

NOTE: Ensure the sensor conduit is vertically centered in the slab below the surface.

Sensor Conduit Position in Slab

For indoor installations, consider the following:

• In small rooms, position the sensor near the center of the floor.

- In larger rooms, ensure the sensor is at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) from the wall.

• In very large spaces, two sensors may be used to average the floor temperature.
• The sensor should be placed midway between heating elements.

Sensor Position (Top View)

Tile Floor Mounting

NOTE: In tile floors, ensure a channel is made in the thin-set mortar, just above the subflooring, to properly position the sensor.

Outdoor Installation

Required Materials (not supplied):

• Two wood screw coaxial cable standoffs with insulators
  • One plastic feedthrough bushing
• Silicon adhesive

NOTE: Mount in a location away from direct sunlight.

NOTE: Sensor should not come in contact with metal objects.

Complete the following procedure to install the CHV-RSS:

1. Mount the sensor using two coaxial cable standoffs. If the fit is not snug, use silicon adhesive to secure the sensor in place.
2. Use a plastic feedthrough bushing and pass the wires through the outside wall.
3. Form a drip loop in the wire to prevent moisture from entering the building.

Outside Wall Mounting

Hardware Hookup

CHV-RSS sensors connect to the terminal blocks on the back plate of the CHV-TSTAT, CHV-THSTAT, CHV-TSTATEX, CHV-TSTATEX-FCU thermostats (all sold separately).

NOTE: Sensor wiring is non-polarized.

NOTE: Up to two CHV-RSS sensors may be connected to a single channel.

NOTE: Use a separate run of wire for each sensor.

NOTE: Wire runs should be low capacitance twisted pair wire such as CAT3 (up to 250 feet (76 meters)), CAT5 (up to 500 feet (152 meters)), or similar low capacitance (less than 7000 pF) wire.

NOTE: Sensor lines should not be run parallel to any other wiring. Lines should cross other cables at right angles.

Complete the following procedure to connect the CHV-RSS to the system:

1. Turn off the circuit breaker.

CAUTION: Do not press on the LCD display of the thermostat during this procedure, as this may cause the screen to crack.

1. Separate thermostat front plate from back plate (it may be necessary to exert force when removing the faceplate.)

1. To connect the sensor(s) to a single channel on the thermostat, wire the CHV-RSS to the RS1 and RSR terminals as shown on the following page.

CHV-RSS (Single Channel) Hookup (Two Sensors Shown)

1. To connect sensors using two channels on the thermostat, wire up to two devices to the RS1 and RSR terminals, and up to two devices to the RS2 and RSR terminals as shown in the illustration on the following page.

CHV-RSS (Dual Channel) Hookup (Four Sensors Shown)

1. Note the orientation of the front plate connection pins and reattach the front plate (make sure the front plate snaps in place and no wires are pinched).

For additional information about the thermostat connections, refer to the latest version of the CHV-TSTAT and CHV-THSTAT Thermostats Operations and Installation Guide (Doc. 8163), the CHV-TSTATEX Thermostat Operations and Installation Guide (Doc. 6989) or the CHV-TSTATEX-FCU Thermostat Operations and Installation Guide (Doc. 7206). They are available from the Creston Web site (www.crestron.com/manuals).
