Your new thermostat is so smart,
it’s almost human.
■
Your body perceives temperature
from a variety of sources, not only
from the air in the room, but also from your surroundings—walls,
windows and furnishings.
■
Human beings feel differences
in temperature as slight as one
degree Celsius.
■
Common household thermometers and standard thermostats
sense
only air temperature, which may or may not reflect how hot or cold

reads the temperature of the wall as well as the
air—and responds to temperature changes as little as one-half
degree Celsius—so room temperature is more likely to “feel right” to
you and your family.

During Programmed Recovery the thermostat increases the control
temperature gradually and turns the equipment on and off
several
times to save energy by avoiding “overshooting” the comfort
temperature. You can see the current control temperature anytime
during recovery by pressing the PRESENT SETTING key. On some
models, both the SYSTEM and ENRG SAV lights may be lit at the
same time during recovery.
■
This “smart” control learns from experience
. Each day it checks how
closely it “hit the target” and adjusts the recovery start time accordingly.
It typically takes four to eight days after installation for this
thermostat to adjust to the weather, your life style, home
construction and heating/cooling system. The thermostat calculates
the LEAVE/RETURN recovery separately from the SLEEP/WAKE
recovery.
■
With this thermostat you can choose
whether you want to use
Programmed Recovery or conventional recovery. Use Programmed
Recovery if you want to choose the exact time that the room
reaches your
comfort
temperature. Use conventional recovery if you
prefer to choose the exact time your furnace or air conditioner
comes on
to start recovery.

Your thermostat includes a screw on the back marked “3A”, allowing
for the Programmed Recovery/conventional recovery choice.
Your thermostat was shipped from the factory with the screw positioned for Programmed Recovery. Your installer may have left the
screw in this position, or may have changed it to conventional
recovery. Before programming, you must know for which recovery
method your thermostat has been set.
• With Programmed Recovery, the dwelling will reach the comfort
temperature at the exact time you have programmed into the
thermostat. See pages 1-4 for detailed explanation of Programmed
Recovery.
• With conventional recovery, the programmed time will mark the start
of recovery; therefore, you should program the start time to be
earlier than the desired comfort time. It may require some trial and
error to arrive at the best starting time, and the best starting time will
vary as the seasons change.

IMPORTANT
Before you begin STEP 2, determine if your thermostat is set for Programmed Recovery or conventional recovery. See pages 5-6.
If set for Programmed Recovery, program the times for when you want your home comfortable. The thermostat
will decide how early to begin the temperature changes.
If set for conventional recovery, program the times earlier, allowing your home to reach the comfort temperature
by the time you get home or wake up. Some trial and error may be required to arrive at the best starting times.

on model. See the instructions
inside the thermostat door to
determine the size. The display will
flash “REPL BAT” when the
batteries get low. Unless the
display is blank (indicating the
batteries are dead) when you start,
you won’t have to reprogram the
thermostat if you can insert the
new batteries within 20-30 seconds
of taking out the old ones.
To replace:
■
If your thermostat has a system
switch, set it to OFF.
■
Remove the thermostat from the
wall. See page 31.
■
Lift the batteries out of the
holder.
■
Insert the new batteries, making
sure the positive (+) terminals all
face toward the right.
■
Replace the thermostat on the
wall. See page 32.

Comfort temperature
The temperature you want in the
morning and evening when you’re
home.
Conventional Recovery
Recovery starts at the time
programmed into the thermostat;
house reaches comfort temperature shortly thereafter.
Energy-saving temperature
The lower (heating) or higher
(cooling) temperature that lets you
save on heating and cooling costs
when you’re asleep or away. Also
called the setback (heating) or
setup (cooling) temperature.
Program
The times and temperatures you
set to define the comfort and
energy savings periods for each
schedule (weekdays, Saturday,
Sunday).
Programmed Recovery
Recovery automatically starts early
enough so your house is at the
comfort setting by the time you’ve
chosen.
Set point
The temperature you set on the
thermostat. The thermostat turns
the heating or cooling equipment
on and off to maintain this temperature at the thermostat location
until another temperature setting
goes into effect.
Setup
Raising the temperature in the
house for a set period every day in
summer for energy savings. The
higher temperature is the energy
saving temperature.

Recovery
The time when the thermostat
operates the heating or air
conditioning equipment to return
the house from the energy savings
to the comfort temperature. If
thermostat is set for Programmed
Recovery, the thermostat starts the
recovery period early so the house
will be at the comfort setting by the
time you’ve chosen.
Saturday program schedule
The schedule of WAKE, LEAVE,
RETURN and SLEEP period start
times and temperatures that you
program to run on Saturdays.
Setback
Reducing the temperature in the
house for a set period every day in
winter for energy savings. The
lower temperature is the energy
savings temperature.
Status lights—Lights on some
models that show system operating
mode.
ENRG SAV light—This light
glows during the LEAVE and

GLOSSARY
Time period
One of four program periods;
WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN and
SLEEP available with the thermostat. One period begins when the
previous period ends.
WAKE—For conventional
recovery, the time the recovery
to the comfortable temperature
begins; for Programmed
Recovery, the time period when
you want the house at a
comfortable temperature while
the family gets up and gets
ready to leave for work or
school. This is the only period
that must contain a time and
temperature.
LEAVE—The time period when
you can set back (winter) or up
(summer) the temperature for
energy savings because the
family is usually away from
home.
RETURN—For conventional
recovery, the time the recovery
to the comfortable temperature
begins; for Programmed
Recovery, the time period when
you want the house at a
comfortable temperature for
family activities in the evening
before bedtime.
SLEEP—The time period when
you can set back (winter) or up
(summer) the temperature for
energy savings because the
family is sleeping. Set it to start
at your family’s normal bedtime.
Often the SLEEP program is set
only for the heating season so
family members can sleep cool
in summer.

TYPICAL QUESTIONS
1. Why do some models of this
thermostat have lights?
2. The temperature displayed on
the thermostat doesn’t always
match the room temperature on
another thermostat located right
next to it. Why?
3. Can I control when the furnace
comes on in the morning?
Battery-operated thermostats do not have indicator lights to conserve
battery power. Others may have one or two indicator lights, depending
upon the exact model and application.

adjusting, and will take a few days after installation to adapt to your
home.
When the thermostat is set for Programmed Recovery, it will turn on the
furnace as early as necessary to reach your desired comfort temperature at the programmed time. The earliest it will be is 43 minutes per
Celsius degree setback ahead of your WAKE time, but it will vary
depending on your system, the weather and how much the temperature
dropped in your house at night.
If you want to control the start time yourself, just switch the thermostat
to conventional recovery following the directions on page 6. This way,
the furnace won’t come on until your programmed WAKE time, but of
course it will take a little while for your house to heat up to the comfort
temperature.

Remember, whichever way you set your thermostat, if it is so cold
outside that your house drops to your sleep temperature, the furnace
will turn on and off at night to control the temperature at that setting.

TYPICAL QUESTIONS
7. My thermostat has ENRG SAV
and SYSTEM lights. Why do they
both go on at the same time?
(For example: during the sleep
period.)
8. Why don’t all thermostat
models have AUTO (automatic)
changeover from heating to
cooling?
9. Sometimes my thermostat
doesn’t allow the house temperature to drop to my SLEEP
setting before it starts bringing
the furnace on. Why?
During Programmed Recovery, when you recover
point, you will stay in the energy-saving mode until the next programmed
time is reached. But the system will operate intermittently to
raise the temperature to your desired comfort level before the time you’ve
set as your WAKE time. You will always be saving energy until the next
period’s
Most parts of the country don’t have wide temperature swings during a
24-hour period, so it is not necessary.
When you start your SLEEP period, the thermostat will turn off your
furnace and your house temperature will start to fall. After that, the
thermostat is out of the picture until the house temperature falls all the way
to your SLEEP temperature setting or until recovery starts.
In mild weather or with good insulation, your house temperature may not
fall all the way to your SLEEP temperature setting and the thermostat
won’t turn on your furnace until the time to recover back up to your comfort
setting.
