FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
DESCRIPTION
This wall-mounted, low voltage thermostat maintains
room temperature by controlling the operation of heating
and cooling systems. The user may program up to four
time/temperature settings per 24 hour period. The ther-
mostatstoresindependentheatingandcoolingprograms
for 5-day (weekday) and 2-day (weekend) periods. The
thermostat will store both heating and cooling programs
simultaneously. Three "AA" Energizer® batteries will
maintain the stored program for approximately one year,
if incoming power should fail. If power failure is extensive
and the program is lost, after power restoration, the
thermostat will automatically maintain a factory
preprogrammedheatingtemperatureof64°Foracooling
temperature of 82°F.

5. Move subbase out of the way. Drill mounting holes. To attach thermostat to subbase, line up the plastic snap
guides at the bottom of the thermostat and the three
connector pins on the thermostat with the connectors
near the bottom left section of the subbase (when viewed
from the front). Gently pivot the thermostat up until the six
pin connectors and the plastic snaps lock into place (see
fig. 9). Be gentle when attaching thermostat. If the
thermostat does not seem to be attaching to the subbase
easily, make sure that the connector pins and plastic
snaps are properly aligned, and that excess wire is
pushed into the wall. Damage to the thermostat may
occur if force is used.
6. Fasten subbase loosely to wall, as shown in fig. 3,
using two mounting screws. Place a level against
bottom of subbase, adjust until level, and then tighten
screws. (Leveling is for appearance only and will not
affect thermostat operation.) If you are using existing
mounting holes, or if holes drilled are too large and do
not allow you to tighten subbase snugly, use plastic
expansion plugs to secure subbase.
7. Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire-
resistant material (such as fiberglass insulation) to
prevent drafts from affecting thermostat operation.
ATTACH THERMOSTAT TO SUBBASE
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PROGRAM THE
THERMOSTAT WITH BATTERIES INSTALLED BE-
FORE ATTACHING ON SUBBASE (see OPERATION
GUIDE for programming instructions).

energized by a separate circuit through the fan relay
(meaning that the fan turns on immediately on call for
heat), clipwireW14onthebackofthethermostat(seefig.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT RECOVERY
(EMR)
Figure 10. Back of Thermostat
When the EMR feature is activated, the thermostat's
mocrocomputer automatically calculates the time it will
take to change the temperature to the next program
setting. Then the thermostat will activate the heating or
cooling system to change the temperature so that the
desired temperature is reached at or near the beginning
of the next program period (the thermostat's microcom-
puter calculates 15 minutes for every 2°F temperature
change). For example, assume that the thermostat is
programmedtoprovideanovernightheatingtemperature
of62°F,andduringthenextprogramperiod,programmed
to begin at 6:00 AM, the programmed temperature is
70°F. With EMR activated, the thermostat will automati-
cally activate the heating system at 5:00 AM, so that the
programmed temperature of 70°F is reached by about
6:00 AM.
CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION
If at any time during testing the system does not function
correctly, disconnectelectricalpoweratfuseboxorcircuit
