    OPERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT Before you begin programming your thermo- stat, you should be familiar with its features and with the display and the location and operation of the thermostat buttons. The information in this section will help you become familiar with your new thermostat so that you can easily program it.

    PARTS OF THE THERMOSTAT The Back of The Thermostat Body Turn the thermostat body over. On the back are the 3 “AA” Energizer ® alkaline batteries. ® The “AA” Energizer alkaline batteries provide power to the thermostat when the 24 VAC power is interrupted (for example, when you remove the thermostat from the wall for programming).

To open the door, put your fingernail in the indentation at the top of the door, then pull the door out from the top and swing it down on its hinges. On the following pages there are brief descrip- tions of the display and the thermostat buttons.
  • Page 8 The Display 1 Continuously displays system mode (HEAT, OFF, COOL, HOLD). During programming, the program period is displayed (MOR, DAY, EVE, or NHT). 2 Alternately displays room temperature (F denotes degrees Fahrenheit and C denotes degrees Celsius) and time of day (A de- notes AM time and P denotes PM time).

    OPERATING FEATURES Now that you are familiar with the thermostat display and buttons, read the following informa- tion to learn about the many features of the thermostat. • COMPUTED ENERGY MANAGEMENT RECOVERY (EMR) — The thermostat’s microcomputer can be set to automatically calculate the time it will take to change the temperature to the next program setting.
  • Page 13 • HOLD TEMPERATURE — The thermostat can hold any temperature within its range for an indefinite period, without reverting to the program. Press HOLD . HOLD will be dis- TEMP played. Then choose the desired hold tem- perature by pressing thermostat will hold the room temperature at the selected setting until you press start program operation again.
  • Page 14 CAUTION A cooling anticipation setting of less than 10 may cause decreased compressor life. To adjust heat anticipation, press at the same time. The display will show HEAT 5 (this is the factory preprogrammed heating anticipation setting). You may se- lect any anticipation setting from 2 to 40 (note that for hydronic systems, a mini- mum anticipation setting of 15 is recom-...

    PROGRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT Now you are ready to program your thermostat. This section will help you plan your thermostat’s program to meet your needs. For maximum comfort and efficiency, keep the following guidelines in mind when planning your program. • When heating (cooling) your building, pro- gram the temperatures to be cooler (warmer) when the building is vacant or during peri- ods of low activity.
  • Page 17 b. What temperature should the building be at this time? These will be your DAY tempera- ture settings. 3a. What time do the building occupants reach a minimum activity level (limited personnel in building)? b. What temperature should the building be at this time? These will be your EVE (evening) temperature settings.
  • Page 18 Now look at the factory preprogrammed times and temperatures shown below. If this program will suit your needs, simply press running the factory preset program. If you want to change the preprogrammed times and temperatures, do the following. Determine the time periods and heating and cooling temperatures for your weekday pro- gram.

  • Page 26: Questions And Answers

    QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 1. How can I permanently change a part of my program? VIEW Press until you reach the time/tempera- PRGM ture schedule you want. Then press TIME BACK program. See PROGRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT. 2. How can I have no change in tempera- ture from one time period to another? Simply select the same temperature for each consecutive time period.
  • Page 27 programming at this point, press the normal program function. See PRO- GRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT. 4. What happens if the electricity goes off or is manually shut off? If you have not installed 3 “AA” alkaline batteries, the display will go blank and the program will be lost in approximately one minute.
  • Page 28 tery. The thermostat will revert to the factory preset program until you reprogram the thermostat. If you don’t want to reprogram the thermostat immediately, press until OFF is displayed and replace the ther- mostat on the wall. Then press the factory preset program. Or you may reprogram the thermostat, then replace it on the wall.
  • Page 29 use the button to move the tempera- ture below the setpoint temperature. See OPERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT. CAUTION If the outside temperature is below 50 F, DO NOT use the button to move the temperature below the setpoint tempera- ture. Property damage may result due to compressor slugging.
  • Page 30 10. Why does the blower fan keep running after the system has turned off? • You have programmed the fan to run continuously during this period. See PRO- GRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT. • The blower delay feature is operating. This energy saving feature continues to blow conditioned air through the ducts after the system has turned off, rather than letting the air dissipate.
  • Page 31 To change your clock, follow the instruc- tions for setting current time and day. See ENTERING YOUR PROGRAM. Thermo- stat programming is not affected when you change the clock. 14. Do I have to reprogram my thermostat after I change the batteries? When the thermostat is on the wall and the system has power, the thermostat is being powered by a 24 VAC source.
