Before turning power on to the system,
the jumpers on the back of the
thermostat must be configured to
operate correctly with the system
equipment.
This thermostat is configured from the
factory to operate a standard fossil fuel
(gas, oil, etc.), forced hot air system
with a single stage air conditioning
compressor and fan. This is the correct
configuration for any system that
DOES NOT require the thermostat to
energize the fan on a call for heat.
TIONTION
TION
TIONTION
If you have an electric heat or other
system that REQUIRES the thermostat
to control the fan, find and cut the
jumper lead labelled W914 (see fig.
10). This will allow the thermostat to
energize the fan instantly on a call for
heat. If you are unsure if the system
requires the thermostat to control the
fan, contact a qualified heating and air
conditioning service person.
16
A remote sensor can be used with this
thermostat. To use a remote sensor,
jumper W922 must be clipped (see fig.
10) and the REMT SEN option in the
configuration menu must be set to ON.

12. The recommended initial setting
for hydronic (hot water or steam)
systems is 35.
The cooling will not go below 9
because compressors require a longer
cycle.
The chart below shows how this
adjustment range affects thermostat
performance.
COOL FAN-ONCOOL FAN-ON
AND FAN-OFF DELAYAND FAN-OFF DELAY
AND FAN-OFF DELAY
AND FAN-OFF DELAYAND FAN-OFF DELAY
This option allows a selection of a fanon delay of 1 to 5 seconds on a call for
cool and 1 to 127 seconds of fan-off
delay after the thermostat has satisfied
the call for cool.
A short delay to allow the A-coil to
cool off before the fan turns on may be
preferred. This also allows the
compressor and the fan to come on at
slightly different times, which allows
full power to the compressor on start
up.
The fan off delay allows the fan to
continue running after the compressor
has shut off. This distributes the
cooling that would otherwise stay
trapped in the air conditioning coils
through the ducts. Ideally the timing
would be set so the fan shuts off just as
the cool air is exhausted. If this timing
is set too long the fan may begin
blowing warm air before it shuts off.
Shortening the fan-off delay will
prevent this.

EMR causes the thermostat to start
operating the system early in order to
make the building temperature reach
your program setpoint at the time you
specify. In heating, the thermostat will
start 5 minutes early for every 1°F
difference between the room temperature and the next programmed
temperature. In cooling, the thermostat
uses 15 minutes per °F.
EXAMPLE: If the temperature in the
room is 65°F and the thermostat is
programmed for 70°F at 7 AM, the
thermostat will start approximately 25
minutes early. The difference between
the room temperature (65°F) and the
setpoint (70°F) is 5°. 5° X 5 minutes
per °F = 25 minutes. The setpoint on
the display will actually change to
display 70° about 25 minutes early.
The maximum time the thermostat can
start early in heating is 75 minutes.
The maximum time the thermostat can
start early in cooling is 3 hours and 45
minutes. Cooling can start earlier
because it takes longer for cooling
systems to reach the desired temperature.
To select or deselect this feature, refer
to the CONFIGURATION section
(page 18, step 1).

calibrated at the factory to display a
very accurate room temperature, but
due to various conditions and/or
personal preference, you may wish to

Three “AA” alkaline batteries allow
the thermostat to maintain its program
in the event of a power loss. They also
operate the back light for viewing the
display in low light conditions, and
allow for armchair programming.
CHECK BATTERY will be displayed
when the batteries are low. To assure
optimum performance, change
batteries once a year or when CHECKBATTERY is displayed. When
changing batteries, always replace all
three batteries with new “AA” alkaline
batteries (for optimum performance,
we recommend Energizer
®
batteries).
If the batteries must be changed
frequently, it may indicate a problem
with the system. Contact the heating/
cooling system manufacturer or a
service person. Remember that
excessive use of the display light will
reduce battery life.

On installation, or when power is
restored after a total power loss to the
thermostat, your thermostat will
automatically maintain a heating
temperature of 62°F (16°C) and a
cooling temperature of 85°F (29°C). A
total loss of power will occur when
you lose 24 VAC power to the
thermostat, and you have no battery
backup. If this happens, the thermostat
display will go blank in about one
minute after power loss.
When power is restored, the thermostat
will automatically return to the
temperatures listed above. If this
happens, set the clock and day of the

protect your system against premature
compressor failure by “locking out”
the compressor. This ensures that the
compressor will stay off for at least
five minutes on each cycle. When the

This feature allows the thermostat to
display the words CHNG FLTR
(change filter) after a set time of fan
operation. This is a reminder to change
or clean your air filter. The factory set
interval for CHNG FLTR to be
displayed is 200 hours of fan operation. This can be set anywhere from 0
to 1950 hours in 25 hour increments. A
selection of 00 will cancel this
feature.
When CHNG FLTR is displayed, you
can clear it by pressing the HUM/FLTR SERVICE button. This resets
the timer and starts counting the hours
until the next filter change.
The following steps will allow you to
change the number of hours for filter
change-out.

The display will indicate CHECK
SYSTEM if the room temperature
does not rise within two hours of the
call for heat. After two hours the
thermostat will quit calling for heat for
one minute (this allows some furnaces
to reset) and call for heat again. It will
repeat this sequence three times. If the
temperature still does not rise, it will
continue to call for heat. This normally
indicates the heating system is not
working correctly. You may wish to
consult your furnace manufacturer or
service person.
The display will indicate CHECK STAT
if one of the following occurs.
• One of the buttons is stuck down or
in. Check buttons, make sure nothing
is pushing them in.
• The thermostat sensor is not
functioning. If using a remote sensor,
check connections, wiring and power.
• The humidity sensor is not functioning.
After checking the above, press
PROGRAM
RUN
to reset the
display. If this does not clear the
display, disconnect power and remove
the batteries for five minutes.
If these checks fail to solve the
problem, the thermostat should be
replaced.

The room humidity display can be
adjusted to read higher or lower by
following the configuration menu and
adjusting the humidity to a higher or
lower value (up to 20% RH). The
sensed humidity is calibrated at the
factory. If you want to adjust it, refer
to the CONFIGURATION section
(page 19, step 14).
This feature allows the thermostat to
display the words CHCK HUMD
(check humidifier) after a set time of
humidifier operation. This is a
reminder to maintain or clean your
humidifier. The factory set interval for
CHCK HUMD to be displayed is 100
hours of humidifier operation. This can
36
be set anywhere from 0 to 1975 hours
in 25 hour increments. A selection of
00 will cancel this feature.
When CHCK HUMD is displayed,
you can clear it by pressing HUM/FLTR SERVICE button. This resets
the timer and starts counting the hours
until the next humidifier maintenance.
The following steps will allow you to
change the number of hours for
humidifier maintenance.

This feature automatically lowers
humidity when the outside temperature
drops. This is to prevent the interior
windows/walls from reaching the dew
point where water condenses on
surfaces. To achieve automatic
humidity reduction, the thermostat
lowers the humidity when furnace
cycles are long. When the furnace runs
shorter cycles, it increases humidity.
For suggested settings see table below.
