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.

Thermostat installation must conform to local and national building and electrical codes and ordinances.

Note: Mount the thermostat about five feet above the floor. Do not mount the thermostat on an outside wall, in direct sunlight, behind a door, or in an area affected by a vent or duct.

1. Turn off power to the heating and cooling system by removing the fuse or switching the appropriate circuit breaker off.
2. To remove cover, pull gently at the seam at the top.
3. Put thermostat base against the wall where you plan to mount it (Be sure wires will feed through the wire opening in the base of the thermostat).
4. Mark the placement of the mounting holes.
5. Set thermostat base and cover away from working area.
6. Using a 3/16" drill bit, drill holes in the places you have marked for mounting.
7. Use a hammer to tap supplied anchors in mounting holes.
8. Align thermostat base with mounting holes and feed the control wires through slit in thermal intrusion barrier and into wire opening.
9. Use supplied screws to mount thermostat base to wall.
10. For 2 transformer systems, remove and discard RC/RH jumper.
11. Insert stripped, labeled wires in matching wire terminals.

Be sure exposed portion of wires does not touch other wires.

12. Gently tug wire to be sure of proper connection. Double check that each wire is connected to the proper terminal.
13. Turn on power to the system at the main service panel.
14. Configure thermostat (see Configuration Mode Setting 4) to match the type of system you have.

The SC4011 Pro is an auto changeover, single-stage heat, single-stage cool thermostat. It functions with air conditioning, heat pumps, gas, oil or electric heat systems.

The thermostat activates the heating appliance when the room temperature is below the set heat temperature (by the differential temperature) and the red indicator light (configurable) on the thermostat will light. The SC4011 Pro will stop outputting and the red light will turn off when the call for heat has been satisfied. With heat pumps, the thermostat will not let the compressor come on for 4 minutes after it turns off. This protects your compressor.

When the room temperature is greater than the set cool temperature (by the differential temperature), the cooling device is activated and the green indicator light (configurable) on the thermostat will turn on. The SC4011 Pro will stop outputting and the green light will turn off when the call for cooling is satisfied. The thermostat will not let the compressor come on for 4 minutes after it turns off. This protects your compressor.

The SC4011 Pro has four possible operating modes: OFF, Heat, Cool, and Heat & Cool mode. In off mode, the thermostat will not turn on heating or cooling devices. The manual fan can be turned on in all operating modes using the fan button. In heat mode, the thermostat controls the heating system. In the cool mode, the thermostat controls the cooling system. In heat & cool mode, the thermostat controls both the heating and cooling systems. The clock display alternates with the set temperature display for heat & cool mode.

The SC4011 Pro also has a button lockout feature. This enables the thermostat to be set to the proper mode and temperature and locked so it cannot be tampered with.

There are four possible operating modes for the SC4011 Pro. Off, Cool, Heat, and Cool & Heat modes are accessed by pressing the SYS (left) button. Program mode is accessed by pressing the SYS (left) and FAN (right) buttons simultaneously.

OFF Mode

• In this mode, the thermostat will not turn on the heating or cooling devices
  

Note: The indoor fan can be turned on manually in every operating mode by pressing the FAN (right) button. The word FAN shows on the display and the fan icon appears when the fan operates.

Heat Mode

• In this mode, the thermostat controls the heating system. When the heat outputs, the flame icon apprears on the display.
  

Note: For heat pumps, there is a four minute delay for your compressor to restart after it has turned off.

Cool Mode

• In this mode, the thermostat controls the cooling system. When the cooling outputs, the snowflake icon apprears on the display.
  

Note: There is a four minute delay for your compressor to restart after it has turned off.

Cool and Heat Mode (Auto Changeover)

• In this mode, the thermostat controls the cooling and heating systems, automatically changing over from one to the other as needed.
• The timing display alternates with the set temperature every 10 seconds in the cool and heat mode.
  

Once the thermostat is configured, it should be thoroughly tested.

Do not energize the air conditioning system when the outdoor temperature is below 50 degrees. It can result in equipment damage or personal injury.

Heat Test

1. Press SYS (left) button until heat mode is displayed.
2. Adjust the set temperature so it is 5 degrees above the room temperature.
3. Heat should come on within a few seconds. Red LED may turn on.
4. Adjust the set temperature 2 degrees below the room temperature and the heat should turn off. There may be a fan delay on your system.
   

Note:For heat pumps, there is a four-minute delay to protect your compressor after it turns off. To bypass the compressor time delay, go to OFF mode for 5 seconds.

Cool Test

1. Press SYS (left) button until cool mode is displayed.
2. Adjust set temperature so it is 5 degrees below room temperature.
3. A/C should come on within a few seconds. Green LED may turn ON.
4. Adjust the set temperature 2 degrees above the room temperature and the A/C should turn off. There may be a fan delay on your system.
   

Note: There is a four-minute time delay to protect the compressor after it turns off. To bypass the compressor time delay, go to OFF mode for 5 seconds.

Fan Test

1. Press FAN (right) button. Fan displays. Indoor fan turns ON.
2. Press FAN (right) button. Indoor fan turns OFF.
   

The SC4011 Pro has a button lockout feature so the mode cannot be changed and the temperature adjustment is limited. Select the appropriate lockout from Configuration Mode Settings (Step 5) of this guide.

To activate the LOCK feature:

1. Simultaneously press the SYS, FAN and UP buttons for 10 seconds.
2. will display and the lockout function will be enabled.
   

To deactivate the LOCK feature, repeat steps 1 and 2 above.

Requires SimpleSet^TM Transfer Cable (ACC-WIH21)

This feature is used for transferring the configuration from the master to the target thermostat. All thermostats for a job can be mounted and powered up. Configure one thermostat. This will be the master. The master will be used to copy the configuration to the rest of the thermostats.

Preparing the master to Send:

1. The master must be powered with 24 VAC.
2. Verify the master thermostat is in OFF mode.
3. Press SYS (left) button until OFF mode displays.
4. Remove cover of the master thermostat by gently pulling near one of the corners at the top of the thermostat.
5. Press the up and down buttons and CONFIG switch simultaneously for 5 seconds.
6. The OUT screen displays indicating the master thermostat is ready to transfer data.
   

Note: Press the up and down buttons and CONFIG switch simultaneously for 5 seconds to exit from data transfer mode and to return the master to the OFF mode.

7. Turn off power to the master and remove it from the wall.
8. Connect the master to the target using the 3 wire connector. Attach one end to the Master's FP pins and the other end to the Target's FP pins.
   

Note: Target thermostat must be powered with 24 VAC for field programming to occur.

When the connection has been made correctly, the master thermostat will power up and the target will count from 5 down to 1. It will then display the LOCK confirming the data has been saved in memory.

When all target thermostats have been completed, reinstall the master thermostat.

Press the up and down buttons and the CONFIG switch simultaneously for 5 seconds to exit from the data transfer mode and to return the master thermostat to the OFF mode.
