programmed a temperature of 70°F. The
thermostat will automatically activate the
heating system at about 5:00 AM, so that
the programmed 70°F temperature is
reached by about 6:00 AM.
OPERATING FEATURES
Now that you are familiar with the thermostat
display and buttons, read the following informa-
tion to learn about the many features of the
thermostat.
• COMPUTED ENERGY MANAGEMENT
RECOVERY (EMR) - The thermostat’s mi-
crocomputer automatically calculates the
time it will take to change the temperature
to the next program setting. Then the ther-
mostat will activate the heating or cooling
system to change the temperature so that
the desired temperature is reached at the
beginningofthenextprogramperiod. Asan
example of this feature, assume that you
have programmed your thermostat to pro-
vide an overnight heating temperature of
62°F, and that during the next program
• AUTOMATIC CHANGEOVER — You can
set the thermostat to automatically switch
the system from heating to cooling as
needed. First, you must move option switch
#4 (located on the back of the thermostat
body)totheONposition,ifithasnotalready
been done. To do this, turn off 24 VAC
power to the thermostat. Then, remove the
thermostat body from the wall. Check the
position of switch #4 (the last switch on the
right). If it is ON (up), simply put the thermo-
stat back on the wall and restore 24 VAC
power. If the switch is OFF (down), use a
12
pencil or small screwdriver to move the
switch to the ON position (see figure at
right). Leave the battery out of the thermo-
stat for at least two minutes, to allow the
thermostat to reset itself. DO NOT MOVE
ANY OTHER OPTION SWITCH, as it may
affect thermostat operation. Replace the
battery, putthethermostatbackonthewall,
and restore 24 VAC power. To set the ther-

In the AUTO mode, the thermostat will not allow
the temperature separation between the high-
est heat setting and the lowest cool setting to be
less than 1°F. For example, if the highest heat
setting is 76°F, the lowest cool setting cannot
be below 77°F (see diagram below).

thermostat to meet your needs.
PLANNING FOR YOUR NEEDS
This thermostat will store separate heating and
cooling programs for five-day (weekday) and
two-day (weekend) operation. Usually, the five-
day program is set to run Monday through
Friday, and the two-day program is set to run
Saturday and Sunday. However, you may
choose any five consecutive days to be your
weekdayprogramdays(suchasSundaythrough
Thursday; in this case, your weekend program
would run on Friday and Saturday).
For maximum comfort and efficiency, keep the
followingguidelinesinmindwhenplanningyour
program.
• When heating (cooling) your building, pro-
gramthetemperaturestobecooler(warmer)
when the building is vacant or during peri-
ods of low activity.
• During early morning hours, the need for
cooling is usually minimal.

First, you should answer the following ques-
tions to help you decide what your needs are. If
you are using the thermostat for a commercial
application (a store, office building, etc.), an-
swer questions 1 through 4. If you are using the
thermostat in your home, answer questions 5
through 8. Keep in mind that you should plan for
both weekday and weekend programs.
b. What temperature should the building be at
this time? These will be your DAY tempera-
ture settings.

The thermostat can only be programmed in

4. What happens if the electricity goes off
or is manually shut off?
6. What can cause the thermostat display
to freeze or go blank?
If you have not installed a 9 volt alkaline
battery, the display will go blank and the
program will be lost in approximately one
minute. When electricity is restored, the
thermostatwillmaintainaheatingtempera-
ture of 64°F and a cooling temperature of
82°F until you reenter your program. Set-
point temperature will not be displayed.
If a fresh 9 volt Energizer® alkaline battery
is installed, the program will be maintained
for about one week with no 24 VAC power
present to the thermostat. See OPERAT-
ING YOUR THERMOSTAT.
A completely blank display may indicate
that power has been lost to the thermostat
and the backup battery is also dead. How-
ever, if there is power to the thermostat and
the display is blank or frozen, static dis-
charge is probably the cause.
During periods of low humidity (especially
during cold weather), you may feel or see a
spark discharge when you touch the ther-
mostat. This may cause the program to be
lost or the thermostat to display incorrectly.
To correct this, remove the thermostat from
29
the wall and disconnect the battery. Wait 7. Why won’t the setpoint temperature go
about one minute, then reconnect the bat-
tery. The thermostat will revert to the fac-
torypresetprogramuntilyoureprogramthe

to the temperature I want?
In the AUTO mode, the highest heating
setpoint temperature you select must be at
least 1°F lower than the lowest cooling
setpoint temperature you select (for ex-
ample, if 70°F is your lowest selected cool-
ing temperature, you cannot select a heat-
ing temperature any higher than 69°F). If
such a conflict exists, you must set the
lowest cooling temperature higher in order
to set the heating temperature higher. To
set a lower cooling temperature, you must
select a lower heating temperature. See
PROGRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT.

15. I live in an area where daylight savings 16. Do I have to reprogram my thermostat
time is observed. How do I change the
thermostat clock twice a year without
affecting thermostat programming?
after I change the battery?
When the thermostat is on the wall and the
system has power, the thermostat is being
powered by a 24 VAC source. If power is
lost, orifthethermostatisremovedfromthe
wall, the program will be retained for ap-
proximately one minute if there is no bat-
tery installed or if the installed battery is
dead. If you are changing the battery after
seeing a flashing BAT on the display, the
installed battery may be dead. If you re-
move the old battery and install a fresh one
within one minute, you should not lose your
thermostat programming. After installing a
new battery, follow the procedures in
CHECK YOUR PROGRAMMING to deter-
minewhetheryourprogrammingwasmain-
tained.
To change the clock, follow the instructions
for setting current time and day (see EN-
TERING YOUR PROGRAM). Thermostat
programming is not affected when you
change the clock.
