ELECTRIC HEAT OR SINGLE-STAGE HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS

This thermostat is configured from the factory to operate a heat/ cool, fossil fuel (gas, oil, etc.), forced air system. It is configured correctly for any system that DOES NOT require the thermostat to energize the fan on a call for heat. If your system is an electric heat or heat-pump system that REQUIRES the thermostat to turn on the fan on a call for heat, locate the ELECTRIC/GAS switch on the back of the thermostat (see fig. 1) and switch it to the ELECTRIC position. This will allow the thermostat to energize the fan immediately on a call for heat. If you are unsure if the heating/cooling system requires the thermostat to control the fan, contact a qualified heating and air conditioning service person.

ATTACH THERMOSTAT BASE TO WALL

1. Remove the packing material from the thermostat. Gently pull the cover straight off the base. Forcing or prying on the thermostat will cause damage to the unit. If necessary, move the electric heat switch (see ELECTRIC HEAT SYSTEMS, above).

BATTERY LOCATION

2 "AA" alkaline batteries are included in the thermostat at the factory with a battery tag to prevent power drainage. You must remove the battery tag to engage the batteries.
If "BATT" or "CHANGE " is displayed, the batteries are low and should be replaced with fresh "AA" Energizer^® alkaline batteries. To replace batteries, install the batteries along the top of the base (see Fig. 1). The batteries must be installed with the positive (+) end to the left.

HYDRONIC (HOT WATER OR STEAM) HEATING SYSTEMS

This thermostat is set to operate properly with a forced-air heating system. If you have a hydronic heating system (a system that heats with hot water or steam), you must set the thermostat to operate properly with your system. Change the second option in the configuration menu to SL (see CONFIGURATION MENU).

CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION

If at any time during testing your system does not operate properly, contact a qualified service person. Turn on power to the system.

Fan Operation

If your system does not have a G terminal connection, skip to Heating System.

1. Move FAN switch to ON position. The blower should begin to operate.
2. Move FAN switch to AUTO position. The blower should stop immediately.

^‡ The 24 Volt neutral connection to terminal C on the thermostat is not required if the batteries are replaced once a year with fresh "AA" Energizer^® alkaline batteries.

Heating System

Cooling System

To prevent compressor and/or property damage, if the outdoor temperature is below 50°F, DO NOT operate the cooling system.

1. Move SYSTEM switch to COOL position.
2. Press to adjust thermostat setting below room temperature. The blower should come on immediately on high speed, followed by cold air circulation
3. Press to adjust thermostat setting above room temperature. The cooling system should stop operating.

OPERATION

Before you begin programming your thermostat, you should be familiar with its features and with the display and the location and operation of the thermostat buttons. Your thermostat consists of two parts: the thermostat cover and the base. To remove the cover, pull it straight out from the base. To replace the cover, line up the cover with the base and press until the cover snaps onto the base.

The Thermostat Buttons and Switches

1. Raises temperature setting.
2. Lowers temperature setting.
3. TIME button.

The Display

CONFIGURATION MENU

The configuration menu allows you to set certain thermostat operating characteristics to your system or personal requirements.
Press RUN to make sure the thermostat is in the run program mode, then press PRGM and RUN at the same time to enter the configuration menu. The display will show the first item in the configuration menu.
The configuration menu table summarizes the configuration options. An explanation of each option follows.
to go backwards to the previous item in the menu. To exit the menu and return to the program operation, press RUN. If no keys are pressed within fifteen minutes, the thermostat will revert to normal operation.
Press HOLD to change to the next menu item or press TIME to go backwards to the previous item in the menu. To exit the menu and return to the program operation, press RUN. If no keys are pressed within fifteen minutes, the thermostat will revert to normal operation.

1. Select Temporary Hold Time - The thermostat can hold any temperature you set it to for the amount of time you select on this option. Your choices are 0:00 to 8:00 hours in 15 minute increments. 0:00 disables the function
   Example:
   1. With the thermostat set to Heat or Cool, press HOLD for approximately five seconds until HOLD time (3:00 indicating 3 hours) appears as a setting reminder.
   2. After releasing the button, "HOLD" on the display will blink.
   3. Use to set the temperature to your preference. The thermostat will maintain this temperature setting for 3 hours with "HOLD" blinking to remind you it is in Temporary Hold. After 3 hours the thermostat will go back to the program temperature and "HOLD" will no longer blink or display.
2. Select FA or SL (Fast or Slow) Heating Cycle Rate - The FA setting is frequently used for gas, oil or electric heat. The SL setting produces a longer heating cycle which is normally for hot water or steam (hydronic) systems. Both settings produce very accurate temperature control and can be set to your personal preference. FA cycles the system just under 1°F and the SL setting cycles at approximately 1.5°F.
3. Select backlit display - The display backlight improves display contrast in low lighting conditions. Selecting backlight ON will keep the light on for a short period of time after any key is pressed. Selecting OFF will keep the light off.

   Configuration Menu
   Step	Press Button(s)	Displayed (Factory Default)	Press to select:	COMMENTS
   1	PRGM and RUN	HOLD (0:00)	0 to 8 hrs (in 15 minute increments)	Select temporary Hold time
   2	HOLD*	, (FA)	SL	Select FA or SL (Fast or Slow) heating cycle rate
   3	HOLD*	d-L (ON)	OFF	Select display backlight OFF or ON
   4	HOLD*	E (ON)	OFF	Select Energy Management Recovery OFF or ON
   5	HOLD*	Filter (000)	0 to 1950 hours (in 50 hour increments)	Select filter replacement run time
   6	HOLD*	LOC (OFF)	ON	Select compressor lockout OFF or ON
   7	HOLD*	0 HI (0)	4 LO to 4 HI	Select temperature display adjustment higher or lower
   8	HOLD*	(F)	C	Select temperature display to F or C
   9	RUN			Returns to normal operation

4. Select Energy Management Recovery OFF or ON – Energy Management Recovery (EMR) causes the thermostat to start heating or cooling early to make the building temperature reach the program setpoint at the time you specify. Heating will start 5 minutes early for every 1° of temperature required to reach setpoint. Cooling allows more time per degree because it takes longer to reach temperature.
   Example: You select EMR and have your heating programmed to 65° at night and 70° at 7 AM. If the building temperature is 65° the difference between 65° and 70° is 5°. Allowing 5 minutes per degree the thermostat setpoint will change to 70° at 6:35 AM.
5. Select filter replacement run time - The thermostat will display "FLTR" after a set time of operation. This is a reminder to change or clean your air filter. This time can be set from 0 to 1950 hours in 50 hour increments. A selection of 000 will cancel this feature. When "FLTR" is displayed, you can clear it by pressing HOLD and RUN at the same time. This resets the timer and starts counting the hours until the next filter change. Changing the time in the menu also resets the timer.
6. Select Compressor Lockout LOC OFF or ON - Selecting LOC ON will cause the thermostat to wait 5 minutes before turning on the compressor if the heating and cooling system loses power. It will also wait 5 minutes minimum between cooling cycles. This is intended to help protect the compressor from short cycling. Some newer compressors already have a time delay built in and do not require this feature. Your compressor manufacturer can tell you if the feature is already present in their system. When the compressor time delay occurs it will flash the (snowflake icon) for about five minutes then turn on the compressor.
7. Select Temperature Display Adjustment 4 LO to 4 HI - Allows you to adjust the room temperature display 4° higher or lower. Your thermostat was accurately calibrated at the factory but you have the option to change the display temperature to match your previous thermostat.
8. Select F° or C° Readout - Changes the display readout to Centigrade or Fahrenheit as required.

OPERATING FEATURES

Now that you are familiar with the thermostat buttons and display, read the following information to learn about the many features of the thermostat.

• TEMPERATURE OVERRIDE — Press until the display shows the temperature you want. The thermostat will override current programming and keep the room temperature at the selected temperature until the next program period begins. Then the thermostat will automatically revert to the program.
• HOLD TEMPERATURE — The thermostat can hold any temperature within its range for an indefinite period without reverting to the programmed temperature. Momentarily press HOLD button. "HOLD" will be displayed. Then choose the desired temperature by pressing . The thermostat will hold the room temperature at the selected setting until you press RUN button to start program operation again.
• CONFIGURATION MENU — Allows you to customize certain thermostat options.

PROGRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT

This section will help you plan your thermostat's program to meet your needs. For maximum comfort and efficiency, keep the following guidelines in mind when planning your program.

Planning Your Program

Look at the factory preprogrammed times and temperatures shown in the sample schedule. If this program will suit your needs, simply press the RUN button to begin running the factory preset program.

If you want to change the preprogrammed times and temperatures, follow these steps.

Determine the time periods and temperatures for your daily programs. You must program four periods for both the weekday and weekend program. However, you may use the same heating and cooling temperatures for consecutive time periods. You can choose start times, heating temperatures, and cooling temperatures independently for each day programs (for example, you may select 5:00 AM and 70° as the Monday 1st period heating start time and temperature, and also choose 7:00 AM and 76° as the Monday 1st period cooling start time and temperature).

Use the following table to plan your program time periods and the temperatures you want during each period. Fill in the complete table to have a record of your programs.

Entering Your Program

Follow these steps to enter the heating and cooling programs you have selected.

Set Current Time and Day

1. Press TIME button once. The display will show the hour only.
   

Enter Heating Program

1. Move the SYSTEM switch to HEAT.
2. Press PRGM once. "MO" (indicating Monday program) will appear in the display. Also displayed are the currently programmed start time for the 1st heating period and the currently programmed temperature (flashing).
   
   This display window shows that for Monday's 1st heating period, the start time is 6:00 AM, and 70° is the programmed temperature (this example reflects factory preprogramming).
3. Press to change the displayed temperature to your selected temperature for Monday's 1st heating program period.
4. Press TIME once (the programmed time will flash). Press or until your selected start time for Monday's 1st heating program period appears. The time will change in 15 minute increments. When your selected time is displayed, press TIME again to return to the change temperature mode.
5. Press PRGM once. The currently programmed start time and setpoint temperature for the Monday's 2nd heating program period will appear.

NOTE
If you are programming your thermostat for the first time and you want programming for all days of the week to be the same as Monday's program, press RUN or HOLD at this point, and proceed to Enter Cooling Program. (This simplified COPY DAY feature only works the first time you program your thermostat. If you want to copy one day's programming to a specific day programming, refer to COPY DAY FUNCTION in OPERATING FEATURES. If you are changing your thermostat's programming, you must program each day separately.)

8. Press HOLD once. "TU" (indicating Tuesday program) will appear in the display, along with the start time for the 1st heating period and the currently programmed temperature.
