New TEC Thermostat Model Cuts Commissioning Time
NEW MODEL: The TEC4000S Series Thermostat, from Johnson Controls, can reduce setup and commissioning time for midsized properties by up to 80%, the company says.
MILWAUKEE — Johnson Controls has launched the TEC4000S Series Thermostat, the only thermostat in its class with a user interface that meets AAA Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), the highest accessibility standard. It delivers up to an 80% reduction in setup and commissioning time for midsized properties, enabling faster and more efficient system deployment for contractors, the company said in a press release.
“Since its introduction nearly 20 years ago, the TEC series of thermostats has undergone substantial evolution, guided by continuous customer feedback and real‑world application insights,” said Sayan Chakraborty, product manager for commercial thermostats at Johnson Controls. “Leveraging these insights and our 140‑year heritage of thermostat innovation, we engineered the TEC4000S Series with the capabilities that deliver the greatest value for today’s contractors, building owners, and occupants.”
The TEC4000S features a 4-inch color touch display and a simplified navigation structure. Its AAA-compliant interface incorporates high-contrast visuals, large text, and direct access to frequently used functions, reducing navigation steps and supporting operation across commercial environments, the press release said. With preset configuration profiles and USB-based cloning, setup time can be reduced. The optional Johnson Controls Connected Workflow Wireless MS/TP adapter enables wireless commissioning before wall mounting, while proportional-control autotuning reduces the need for specialized expertise in commissioning more complex equipment, the press release said.
The TEC4000S Series is designed for single-zone commercial applications in buildings from 300 to 3,000 square feet, including offices, hotels, retail stores, managed condominiums, and schools. This model features seven HVAC control applications, and a two-SKU lineup designed to streamline selection and inventory management.
Hospitality mode sequences paired with an integrated occupancy sensor are designed to reduce energy use during vacancy while maintaining comfort during occupied periods. Built-in access-control options help maintain consistency while managing occupant changes, and a white color option means the thermostat blends easily with walls of almost any color.
The TEC4000S Series supports BACnet MS/TP communication for remote monitoring and management and integrates with both Johnson Controls Metasys and third-party building automation systems.
