Power Loss - Pepco Web-Programmable Thermostat Homeowner's Manual

POWER LOSS

The Energy Wise Rewards thermostat is designed to withstand a power loss without the need of a battery backup. The
thermostat responds to a power loss as follows:
• All Thermostat Settings and Schedule Programming are stored to permanent memory and retained throughout
the power loss.
• The thermostat will return to the same System Mode (Off/Heat/Cool/Aux) it was in prior to the power loss.
• A Permanent Hold will be maintained after a power loss.
• A Temporary Hold will be maintained after a power loss ONLY if still within the same Program Schedule time
period. Otherwise the thermostat will return to operating according to the Program Schedule.
• The thermostat is designed to maintain the clock for at least 72 hours without power. If power has been lost for
more than 72 hours, the clock will return to a factory default time and will update with the next utility
time sync.
• A Conservation Period will be maintained after a power loss if still within the same conservation period.
