6.6 Temperature Control

Your installer may have connected one or more EMS thermostats to your security system. This

will give you control over your premises' indoor temperature locally or remotely from any

touch-tone telephone. The thermostat adjusts the temperature by controlling heating and/or

cooling devices. By means of voice prompts your system can announce either indoor or

outdoor temperatures (outdoor temperature, only if an outdoor sensor is attached).

Each thermostat has four different Occupancy Settings: Day Setting, Night Setting, Auxiliary

Setting, and Away Setting. For each Occupancy Setting, you can set a specific temperature

range to be followed by the thermostat. Similar to items, each Occupancy Setting can be

assigned by your installer to follow one or more schedules. Thus, you can program your

thermostat to maintain different temperatures according to different schedules.

You can also use your system to tell a thermostat to function in one of four Thermostat Modes:

Off, Cool, Heat, or Automatic. If the thermostat has been connected by your installer to a

cooling device (e.g. central air-conditioning system), you can select the Cool Mode to maintain

temperature below a certain level with the cooling device. If the thermostat has been

connected to a heating device (e.g. furnace system), you can select the Heat Mode to

maintain temperature above a certain level with the heating device. If the thermostat has been

connected to both a heating device and a cooling device, you may select the Automatic Mode

to have your system use both devices to maintain temperature within a certain range.

As with items, your installer can program an Occupancy Setting to operate when a mode is

turned ON (see Section 6.3—Mode Control). Your installer can assign each Occupancy

Setting to one or more Modes. For example, your installer may assign the Away Occupancy

Setting to a {Vacation mode}, which you can turn on to maintain a particular temperature

range when you are away.
