Welcome to the world of comfort and energy
savings with your new Scientific Atlanta/
Honeywell SuperStat thermostat.
to take advantage of Time of Use Pricing, a
service that can increase your energy savings
further.
This thermostat allows full weekday/weekend
programming so that you can set the thermostat
to control the temperature in your home
according to your personal schedule and
preferences. When programmed according to
the instructions in this guide, the features
available with this thermostat will not only keep
you comfortable, but will also save you energy.
In addition to being programmable, this
thermostat also contains a communications
module. This module allows your utility
company to communicate with your thermostat
Time-of-Use Pricing. If you subscribe to Timeof-Use Pricing, this thermostat will communicate
with the utility to inform you of the pricing rate in
effect at any given time. The rate that is in effect
is indicated on the thermostat display as shown
in Fig. 1. A special feature of this thermostat
allows you to set an offset temperature that
automatically adjusts your energy use for each
rate. This typically involves controlling your
home at a higher temperature during the
cooling season and a lower temperature during
the heating season. You must subscribe to this
program before your utility company can
2 69-1003—1
communicate with your thermostat. If you have
any questions concerning the application of this
thermostat or this special program and its
features, please contact your local utility.

RECOVERY FROM SETBACK
The term
thermostat uses to operate the heating or
cooling equipment to return the house from the
energy savings setting you select when you are
away or asleep to the temperature you prefer
when you are home and awake.
recovery
refers to the process the
AM and begin warming the house to 72°F. If you
want the temperature in the house to be 72°F at
6:00 AM, you should program the thermostat to
an earlier time; for example, 5:30. (The exact
amount of time it takes your home to warm or
cool to the temperature you want depends on
many factors such as the size of your heating/
cooling equipment and the outdoor
temperature.)
This thermostat uses a recovery process that
turns your heating/cooling equipment on or off
at the time you program the temperature to
change. For example, if you program the
thermostat’s heating program to 72°F at 6:00
AM, the heating equipment will come on at 6:00
If this thermostat is for a heat pump system, the
thermostat uses an algorithm when recovering
from setback that helps reduce the use of
auxiliary heat.

PROGRAMMING YOUR
THERMOSTAT
IMPORTANT
Batteries must be installed to maintain
time and date in the event of power
loss.
You will find it helpful to complete the Personal
Programming Charts on the following pages
before you begin programming the thermostat.
Plan your program schedule of time and
temperature settings for various times of the
day by filling in the boxes in the Personal
Programming Charts. There are four time
periods available for weekdays, Saturday, and
Sunday—WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN, and
SLEEP. These periods can be displayed
individually on the thermostat as you press the
WEEKDAY schedule or WEEKEND
SCHEDULE keys. You may want to enter a
different schedule for both the cooling and
heating seasons.
WAKE is the time you get up. Generally you
want the house at a comfortable
temperature when you wake up and get
ready to go to work or school. Set the
WAKE time earlier than your alarm clock
so the house has time to warm up or cool
down before you get up.
6 69-1003—1
LEAVE is the time you leave for work or
school. Generally, once you leave the
house, you want the temperature higher
or lower (depending on the season) so
that you can save energy while you are
away.
RETURN is the time you return from work or
school. Once again, you want the house
at a comfortable temperature when you
return and go about the normal activities
of your day before bedtime. Set the
RETURN time earlier than the time you
actually get home so the house has time
to warm up or cool down before you get
there.
SLEEP is the time you usually go to sleep.
While you are sleeping, you can save
energy by setting the thermostat to
control the temperature higher or lower
(depending on the season). For more
comfortable sleeping, some people
choose not to raise the cooling
temperature at night.
If you decide not to program the thermostat, it
automatically controls heating and cooling
temperatures as follows. Starting at 6:00 AM
every day, the thermostat sets the heating
temperature to 68° and the cooling temperature
to 76°F. At 10:00 PM every night, the thermostat
sets the heating temperature back to 60°F; the
cooling temperature remains at 76°F.
7 69-1003—1
You do not need to enter a time and
temperature program for every period if your
schedule does not require it. For example, if
your house is occupied during the day on
weekdays, you can program only the WAKE
and SLEEP times.
NOTE: Temperatures cannot be set any
higher than 88°F or any lower than
45°F.

normal operation to change so you can save
money at each rate. For example, if you
normally want your home heated to 72° when
rate 1 is in effect, but are willing to let your
home cool to 70° when rate 2 is in effect, your
heating offset for rate 2 is -2 (72° -2° = 70°). If
you do not enter an offset, the offset is 0°.
The first time you press the OFFSET key, the
offset for rate 1 is displayed (note the indicator

THERMOSTAT OPERATION
WHEN TIME-OF-USE PRICING
IS IN EFFECT
Normally your thermostat operates as you
programmed it. If you subscribe to Time-of-Use
Pricing, however, there may be times when it
does not operate as you expect. Before calling
for service, read the following information.
Time-of-Use Pricing
If you subscribe to Time-of-Use Pricing, the
thermostat displays the rate in effect, see Fig. 1.
You cannot adjust which rate is in effect; you
can only adjust the temperature offset for each
rate. Refer to Programming Your Thermostat
section for information on setting the offset for
Time-of-Use Pricing. To notify you a rate
change will be occurring, the Time-of-Use
indicator on the thermostat begins blinking onehalf hour before the rate change takes effect.
When a rate change message is received by
the thermostat, your heating/cooling system
automatically operates at the temperature and
offset you programmed. You cannot temporarily
override the offset. If you need to change the
offset, refer to Programming Your Thermostat.
For additional information about the program,
contact your utility company.
19 69-1003—1
REPLACING THE
THERMOSTAT BATTERIES
IMPORTANT
Batteries must be installed to maintain
the time and date in the event of a
power loss. Although the thermostat
has a low battery indicator, replace the
batteries once every two years to
prevent the thermostat from losing its
time/date information in the event of a
momentary power loss.
As the batteries run low, the display shows bAt
Lo. This low battery indication flashes for one to
two months before the batteries run out
completely. Replace the batteries as soon as
possible after the indicator starts flashing.
You will need two AA alkaline batteries; nonalkaline batteries will not last as long, and may
leak, causing damage to the thermostat or the
wall surface. We recommend Energizer®
batteries.
• Use a coin to carefully remove the battery
door.
• Press down on the left ends of the batteries
to remove them.
20 69-1003—1
