GENERAL
Carrier’s Aquazone 7-day, commercial, programmable thermostats are flat, wall-mounted, low-voltage thermostats whi ch
maintain room temperature by controlling the operation of an
HVAC (heating, cooling and ventilation) system. Separate
heating and cooling set points and auto-changeover capability
allow occupied and unoccupied programming schedules for
energy savings.
All thermostats allow up to 3 occupied and one unoccupied
time/temperature settings to be programmed per 24-hour period. Each thermostat stores programs for 7 independent days.
Batteries are not required. During power interruption the i nte rnal NEVERLOST™ memory stores programmed schedules
for an unlimited time.

ARROW buttons in Heating mode will adjust only the heating
set points. The UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW buttons are
also used in Programming mode.
OVERRIDE BUTTON — The Override button is used to
force the thermostat from Unoccupied mode into the Occupied 1 mode comfort settings. The Override period will be set
at 30 minutes. The thermostat will then return t o Unoccupied
mode. To increase the amount of time in Override mode, press
the Override button again. Thirty minutes of override time will
be added for each time the Override button is pressed up to a
maximum of 4 hours. After the 4-hour limit has been reache d,
press the Override button again to cancel Override mode.
While in Override mode, the Override icon and the Occupied 1 icon will be displayed on the thermostat. The time of
day and the minutes remaining in Override mode will alternate
on the thermostat display.
The set points are adjustable with the UP ARROW and
DOWN ARROW keys during Override mode.
NOTE: If the thermostat is in Occupied mode and the Override
button is pressed, the thermostat will go into Unoccupied mode
immediately. The thermostat will remain in Unoccupied mode
until the next Occupied start time.
MODE BUT TON — The Mode button selects t he operating
mode of the thermostat.
• If OFF is selected, the thermostat will not enter Heating
or Cooling m ode.
• If HEAT is selected, the thermostat will only enter Heat-
ing mode (if the room temperature is below the heating
set point). The thermostat will not provide cooling.
• If COOL is selected, the thermostat will only enter Cool-
ing mode (if the room temperature is above the cooling
set point). The thermostat will not provide heating.
• If AUTO is selected, the thermostat will enter Heating or
Cooling mode based on the room temperature and the
heating and cooling set points. The thermostat will provide automatic changeover from Heating to Cooling
mode and Cooling to Heating mode when required. The
thermostat will automatically switch to maintain the
desired temperature setting. The thermostat does not
need to be manually changed from heating or cooling or
cooling to heating operation.
• If PROGRAM ON is selected, your daily schedule is
enabled and the thermostat will follow the programmed
daily schedule stored in its memory.

same time again to exit the Set Clock mode.
Program Thermostat Schedules —
Before programming the thermostat, plan the thermostat daily schedule.
The schedule is divided into 7 days (Monday through Sunday).
Each day has from 2 to 4 time periods (Occupied 1, Occupied 2, Occupied 3, Unoccupied) depending on t he configuration of the thermostat. Each occupied time period has a start
time, stop time, heating set point, and cooling set point. The unoccupied time period has a heating set point and a cooling set
point. The unoccupied time period is active when ever an occupied time period is not active. Fill in Table 1 as an aid to programming the daily schedules.
PROGRAMMING MODE — To program the daily schedules, perform the following procedure:
1. Enter Programming mode by pressing and holding the
Mode and UP ARROW buttons. The Occupied 1
annunciator will appear on the thermostat display. Use
the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW buttons to set
the maximum number of Occupied periods for each
day. The thermostat can be set to 1, 2, or 3. After the
number of Occupied periods has been selected, press
the Mode butt on. See Fig. 3.

If NO was selected, the schedule will automatically
change to the next day and the user must enter the
occupied and unoccupied schedules for that day.
NOTE: Occupied 1 schedule heating and cooling set
points are the same for each day. Occupied 2 and 3 set
points may be set to different values for each day of
the week.
If YES was selected, the schedule will be copied to the

buttons to exit Programming mode.
NOTE: The thermostat will continue to follow the schedule
until a new one is entered.
If only one occupied schedule is selected, the Occupied 2
and 3 schedules are skipped. If the start time is set later in the
day than the stop time, the program will run from midnight of
that day to th e stop time an d then from the start ti me to midnight. If the same start and stop times are programmed for an
occupancy schedule, the thermostat will be in Occupied mode
for 24 hours. If one occupied period starts or stops within another occupied period, the lower numbered schedule has priority. F or example, if schedule Occupied 3 is running for 24 hours
and Occupied 2 schedule comes on from 1 to 3 PM, the set
points from Occupied 2 are in effect from 1 to 3 PM.
OVERRIDING THE SCHEDULE — The schedule can be
overridden by pressing the UP or DOWN ARROW buttons to
change the desired temperature. The thermostat will use the
new set point until the next scheduled time period starts.
