Auto Recovery - Hunter 44008-01 Owner's Manual

Auto Recovery

Hunter's Auto Recovery feature meets the ENERGY
STAR guidelines for energy efficiency by allowing the
®
heating or cooling system to recover gradually from an
energy-saving setpoint temperature to a comfort set-
point temperature.
Auto Recovery calculates how early to turn your sys-
tem back On, so that the room temperature is already
comfortable by the start of the comfort temperature
program period. Auto Recovery works in both Heat and
Cool modes.
For example, in Heat mode, you could have the follow-
ing programs:
Program #4 (Overnight) Program #1 (Morning)
Set Temp = 60°F Set Temp = 68°F
Time = 10PM Time = 6AM
The room temperature fell to 60°F overnight. Rather
than having the thermostat turning on at 6AM, Auto Re-
covery would note the temperature difference between
60°F and 68°F and turn the Heat on approximately 30
minutes early. Therefore, the room temperature at 6AM
would be about 68°F instead of 60°F.
■ When the thermostat is in Auto Recovery mode, the
display will alternate "RECOVERY" with the day, and
the program indicator will flash.
Details of Auto Recovery Operation:
■ Auto Recovery can be disabled by selecting "NO" in
the Option Menu. Refer to page 17.
■ Auto Recovery will not operate if Permanent hold,
Vacation hold Temporary hold or Home Today is in
operation.
■ Auto Recovery can be canceled manually if RET
CLEAR is pressed during the recovery process. If
a recovery process is canceled manually then the
recovery process will not start again until the next
program period starts (an exception is that if time or
program is changed then the thermostat will check
Auto Recovery conditions immediately).
■ Auto Recovery will be canceled if HOME TODAY or
HOLD is pressed during the recovery process. The
thermostat will enter Home Today, Permanent Hold,
or Vacation Hold.
