RECOVERY FROM SETBACK
The term
thermostat uses to operate the heating or
cooling equipment to return the house from the
energy savings setting you selected for when
you are away or asleep to the temperature you
prefer when you are home and awake.
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
AM and begin warming the house to 72°F. If you
recovery
refers to the process the
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.)
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 on the
T7512A,B,C,D Thermostats. 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 the cooling and the
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
6
69-1153
has time to warm up or cool down before
you get up.
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.
7
69-1153
At 10:00 PM every night, the thermostat sets the
heating temperature back to 60°F; the cooling
temperature remains at 76°F.
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.

finger or a soft pencil eraser; using sharp
fingernails or pencil points can damage the
keypad. If you make a mistake during programming, press the Run Program key and reprogram the time, temperature, or offset value with
the error.
Step 1—Set the Current Time/Day
To set the time, press and release the Set
Clock/Day key once. Press Ahead or Back
keys until the current time is displayed. To set
the day, press and release the Set Clock/Day
key again. Press Ahead or Back keys until the
current day is displayed. After you have set the
time and day, press the Run Program key.
Step 2—Enter the Program Schedules
Entering a Heating Schedule
Refer to your Personal Programming Charts and
proceed as follows:
Press the System key until the thermostat
displays the word HEAT to indicate you
are in the heating mode. Press and
release the Weekday Schedule key once.
The words WAKE, MON...FRI and SET
appear on the display.
Press the Ahead or Back keys to set the
weekday WAKE time from your Personal
Programming Charts. Press the Warmer
10
69-1153
or Cooler keys to set the weekday WAKE
temperature from your Personal Programming Charts.
Repeat the above sequence for the other
weekday schedules: LEAVE, RETURN, and
SLEEP.
Press the Weekend Schedule key until SAT,
WAKE and SET appear on the display. Set
the WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN and SLEEP
schedules for Saturday just as you did for
the weekdays.
Press the Weekend Schedule key again so
that SUN, WAKE and SET appear on the
display. Set the WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN
and SLEEP schedules for Sunday just as
you did for the weekdays and Saturday.
Enter Offset Values
Enter the offset value for each Time-of-Use
Pricing rate using the Offset key. You can enter
offset numbers only if you are a subscriber to
Time-of-Use Pricing.
The offset value you enter is the number of
degrees you are willing to allow the heating or
cooling temperature you have already programmed for 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 value 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
11
69-1153
for rate 1 is displayed (note the indicator on the
thermostat display as shown in Fig. 1). Use the
Warmer and Cooler keys to set the offset value.
Repeat the procedure for each rate. After you
have entered the last offset value, press the
Run Program key.
Entering a Cooling Schedule
Press the System key until the thermostat
displays the word COOL to indicate you are in
the cooling mode.
Enter cooling temperatures for the WAKE,
LEAVE, RETURN and SLEEP times by
following the same instructions as for Entering a
Heating Schedule above. If you subscribe to
Time-of-Use Pricing, enter offset values for the
cooling season as you did for the heating
season.
Step 3—Set the System
and Fan Controls
After programming the thermostat, set the
system and fan controls as follows:
System Control
If you have a conventional heating/cooling
system, the system can be set to: HEAT, COOL

THERMOSTAT OPERATION
WHEN SPECIAL PROGRAMS
ARE IN EFFECT
Change the system setting by pressing the
System key. Each time you press the key, the
system status changes to the next setting.
Normally your thermostat operates as you
programmed it. If you subscribe to either of the
following special programs, there may be times
when it does not operate as you expect. Before
calling for service, read the following information.
Direct Load Control (DLC)
When the thermostat is operating under DLC,
the amount of time your heating/cooling system
can operate is controlled by radio signal from
18
69-1153
your utility company. If you notice the temperature in your home is higher or lower than the
setting you programmed into the thermostat,
check the thermostat display. To indicate the
equipment is under DLC, the thermostat displays
the word SAVING. You cannot control the
heating/cooling equipment when it is under DLC.
When the utility releases your thermostat from
DLC, your heating or cooling equipment may not
be immediately available. To prevent damage to
your heating and cooling equipment and to allow
the utility to bring the equipment on-line effectively of all homes that subscribe to DLC, your
thermostat automatically calculates and initiates
a time delay before the heating or cooling
equipment comes on. You cannot override this
time delay.
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 value for each
rate. Refer to Programming Your Thermostat
section for information on setting the offset value
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.
19
69-1153
When a rate change message is received by the
thermostat, your heating/cooling system
automatically operates at the temperature and
offset value you programmed. You cannot
temporarily override the offset. If you need to
change the offset, refer to Programming Your
Thermostat.
For additional information about either of these
programs, contact your utility company.
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
Lo.
This low battery indication flashes for one to
20
bAt
