Do not short (jumper) across terminals on the gas valve or at the system control to test installation. This will damage the thermostat and void the warranty. Do not switch the system to cool if the temperature is below 50ºF (10ºC). This can damage the air conditioning system and may cause personal injury.

Turn off power to the heating and cooling system by removing the fuse or switching the appropriate circuit breaker off. Remove the cover of the old thermostat. This should expose the wires. Label the existing wires from the existing thermostat before removing. After labeling the wires, remove the wires from the wire terminals.

WARNING!: Electrical Shock Hazard Turn off power at the main service panel by removing the fuse or switching the appropriate circuit breaker to the OFF position before removing the existing thermostat. Turn off power to the heating and cooling system by removing the fuse or switching the appropriate circuit breaker off.

Fasten the base loosely to the wall as shown in Figure 1, using two mounting screws. Place a level against the bottom of the base and adjust until level, then tighten the screws. (Leveling is for appearance only, and will not affect thermostat operation.) Insert stripped, labeled wires into matching wire terminals.

Install two fresh “AA” alkaline batteries in the battery compartment. Be sure to match positive (+) ends of batteries with positive (+) battery terminals in the battery compartment. (The thermostat will operate from 2 size “AA” alkaline batteries or 24VAC power. When operated from 24VAC power, your thermostat will maintain time and continuously display the temperature during a loss of AC power with the batteries installed.) Replace the cover on the thermostat by snapping it in place.
This thermostat is configured from the factory to energize the fan on a call for heat. If your system is an electric heat or heat pump that REQUIRES the thermostat to turn on the fan on a call for heat, place the fan option switch in the ELEC position. If your system does not require the thermostat to energize the fan on a call for heat such as fossil fuel (gas, oil, etc.), forced air system as well as hydraulic heating systems, place the fan option switch in the GAS position.

CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION------------------------------------------------------------------ If at any time during testing your system does not operate properly, contact a qualified service person. Turn on power to the system. Fan Operation Move the system switch to the OFF position. If your system does not have a “G” (Fan) terminal connection, skip to the Heating System.

When the (FA)st heating cycle rate is selected in the configuration menu, (see configuration menu item 2), the thermostat will call for heat at 0.5ºF (0.5ºC) below set-point, and turn off at set point. When the (SL)ow heating cycle rate is selected, the thermostat will call for heat at 1.5ºF (1.5ºC) below set-point, and turn off at set-point.
Page 17
When the (FA)st cooling cycle rate is selected in the configuration menu, (see configuration menu item 2), the thermostat will call for cooling at 0.5ºF (0.5ºC) above set-point, and turn off set point. When the (SL)ow cool cycle rate is selected, the thermostat will call for cooling at 1.5ºF (1.5ºC) above set-point, and turn off at set-point.

expire. Then the thermostat will cut power to the heating/cooling system. Important: Replace the batteries when the low battery message flashes on the display. This will keep the thermostat operating properly. With two “AA” batteries installed, your thermostat will maintain time and continuously display the temperature during a loss of AC power.
Page 19
Configuration Menu The configuration menu allows you to set certain thermostat operating characteristics to your system or personal requirements. Move the SYSTEM switch to the OFF position, then press and hold the PRGM and RUN buttons for 3 seconds to enter the configuration menu. The display will show the first item in the configuration menu.
Page 21
Select cooling cycle rate The FA setting is used to produce shorter cooling cycles. The SL setting produces a longer cooling cycle. Both settings produce very accurate temperature control and can be set to your personal preference. FA cycles the system at a 0.5ºF (0.5ºC) differential, and SL cycles the system at 1.5ºF (1.5ºC).

Select system heating type Users can select the system heating type according to their heating system. Select 0 for gas, oil, or electric heating systems. Select 1 for a heat pump heating system. Select display backlight The display backlight improves display contrast in low lighting conditions. Select 1 for NO backlight display.
Page 23
Select filter replacement run time The thermostat will display the Filter Alarm after a set time of operation. This is a reminder to change or clean your air filter. This time can be set from 0 to 12 months in 1 month increments. Selection of 00 WILL CANCEL THIS FEATURE.

Select compressor lockout delay To protect the compressor from short cycling, you can select compressor off-time cycle between 0 or 5 minutes. When the thermostat compressor time delay occurs, the Cool On or Heat On display will flash during compressor lockout.
THERMOSTAT OPERATION Setting the thermostat This thermostat is very easy to operate. Set the SYSTEM switch to either HEAT or COOL, then press the ▲ or ▼ buttons until the temperature you want to maintain is shown on the right side of the display.
Page 26
Press the ▲ or ▼ buttons until you reach the correct day of the week. Press the TIME button again. The display will now indicate the correct time and day of the week. Filter timer a) When in configuration the selections are in months, each month selections are equal to 30 days.
MANUAL OPERATION Hold Temperature With the SYSTEM switch set to HEAT or COOL, momentarily press the HOLD button. HOLD will be displayed. Use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to adjust the temperature. The thermostat will control the room temperature at the selected setting until you press the RUN button to restart the program operation.
