Setback Schedule Page
The Proliphix thermostat features a set of very robust scheduling options. Through the Proliphix Thermostat
Management Interface (TMI) you may create a heating and cooling schedule to meet your lifestyle and specific
needs.
Proliphix Scheduling
The scheduling feature is organized hierarchically. To make scheduling easier, Proliphix has introduced the
concept of Day Classes as a way to better classify the types of days which may be used in the schedule. Each
Day Class is divided into four Periods, each of which includes temperature settings for both heating and cooling.
There are three Day Classes; Home, Out and Away. The Home Day Class is reserved for those days in which
the user is occupying the property. The user for example, may assign Saturdays and Sundays to the Home Day
Class. The Out Day Class is used to define days in which the user is currently occupying the property but
spends large amounts of time in the day away from the property. In a typical work week, Monday through
Friday may be assigned to the Out Day Class. Finally, an Away Day Class was developed to classify vacations
or other extended periods of time away from the property.
For each of the Home, Out and Away Day Classes, there are four Periods of time in which the user can
independently specify heat or cool settings. These Periods are non-overlapping and are labeled Morning, Day,
Evening and Sleep. These periods roughly correspond respectively to times in the day in which the user wakes
up, goes to work (work day), is home for dinner or retires for the night.
Day Class Schedules
In Figure 17 below, Home, Out and Away Day Class Schedules are shown in the Day Class Schedules table.
Note that the Day Class Periods are shown, along with the Period start times, within each row of the table. In
addition, the Heat and Cool settings are also displayed for each Period in each Day Class. Although the
thermostat comes from the factory pre-set with Day Class Period temperature settings, the user may change
these values by clicking on the heading of each Day Class (i.e. Home, Out, and Away) heading.
Default Weekly Schedule
Also in Figure 17, the Default Weekly Schedule table provides a template by which to apply the three Day
Classes to each day of the week for every week of the year. This weekly template is applied to every week of
every month which is visible in the Calendar View at the bottom of Figure 17. To edit the Default Weekly
Schedule, the user should click on "Edit Weekly Schedule" button.
Calendar View
The Calendar View displays the Day Class settings for each day of the month. To modify any Day Class in the
Calendar View, the user has three options; change the Default Weekly Schedule, click on the date within the
calendar or edit the Special Days settings.
The last two options allow the user to edit the Special Days directly.
