high and low temperature points that you set over-
ride your normal heating and air conditioning tem-
perature settings. Doing so allows you to use more

energy-efficient settings when away from home.

Energy Saver Example

It works like this:
• At your touchpad, set a high temperature point
(to trigger the air conditioner) and a low tempera-
3
and
.
ture point (to trigger the furnace). This needs to
be done only once, but can be changed easily if
necessary.
• Let's say that you usually keep the temperature in
your home at 68°F, but since no one will be there
during the day, you turn the Energy Saver feature
on. You've set the low temperature point to 55°F,
so the furnace will keep the house heated to 55°.
• You're about to return home and would like the
house to be heated to its normal 68°F when you
arrive. If you have a Phone Interface and Voice
Module installed, you can simply call home and
turn the Energy Saver feature off, giving control
back to the furnace thermostat (68°).
Control your air conditioning temperatures in the
same manner.
In addition to controlling temperature, the Energy
Saver feature notifies the central monitoring station
if your heating or air conditioning unit fails—before
pipes freeze or pets are harmed by extreme heat or
cold.
Setting the Energy Saver High and
Low Temperature Settings
Initially, you must set the energy saver to the desired
high and low temperatures. This is done only once,
unless you want to change temperature settings.
