6 |
||

|||
|
terminals on the Chronotherm® Thermostat wiring wallplate. Do not allow them to touch, or you may damage your transformer. Disconnect the wires and wrap them separately, using electrical tape. Do not wrap them together. Place the wires where they will not interfere with the operation of the new thermostat. Record the colors and terminal designation labels of the remaining wires.
Six or more wires?
If there are six or more wires (excluding clock wires attached to terminals), you most likely have a variation of a heat pump or multistage system. The thermostat is not compatible with such systems so return the product to the place of purchase. If you would like information about which programmable thermostats will work with your system, call Duracraft Consumer Services at 1-800-554-4558.
Three thermostat wires?
If you have three wires for heating only and can operate the fan using the fan ON switch, this thermostat will work with your system. However, some hot water (zoned) heating systems have three thermostat wires. The thermostat will not work without installing an isolating relay on these systems. For details, call Duracraft Consumer Servicies at 1-800-554-4558.
Step 3. Install the Batteries
IMPORTANT
Batteries must be installed for programming and operation of the thermostat and heating/cooling system.
7 |
69-1119 |
Purchase 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.
Open top cover of thermostat to access control panel and battery compartment.
Make sure the thermostat is set in the Off position.
Use a coin to remove battery cover.
Install the fresh batteries as shown, making sure positive and negative terminals are oriented correctly.
Replace battery cover.
As the batteries are running low, a bAt Lo indicator will flash for 1 to 2 months before batteries run out completely. Replace the batteries as soon as possible after the indicator starts flashing. If you do not replace the
|
REMOVING |
|

M1719C |
DOOR |
|
batteries sometime during the flashing bAt Lo, the indicator will eventually stop flashing.
bAt Lo will stay on without flashing to indicate the thermostat and heating/cooling system have stopped working when the batteries are almost completely dead.
8 |
69-1119 |
After the batteries are completely dead, the bAt Lo indicator will disappear, leaving a completely blank display. Press down on left ends of batteries to remove. If you insert the new batteries within 20 to 30 seconds of removing the old ones, you will not have to reprogram the thermostat. However, if the display is blank, the
INSTALL TWO AA ALKALINE
BATTERIES AS SHOWN
M1713
batteries are dead or incorrectly installed and you will have to reprogram. See pages 14 to 17 to reprogram.
IMPORTANT
Although the thermostat has a low battery indicator, replace the batteries once a year to prevent the thermostat and heating/cooling system from shutting down due to lack of battery power.
As a precaution, when leaving home for longer than a month, change batteries before you leave to prevent the system from shutting down due to lack of battery power.

Step 4. Program the Thermostat
After the batteries are installed, the thermostat can be easily programmed in your hand before it is installed on the wall.
If you would prefer to program the thermostat after it is installed on the wall, skip to page 14, and return later to this programming section.
The personal programming chart on pages 12 and 13 may be helpful for planning your program schedule of time and temperature settings for various times of the day.
Four time periods are available during weekdays — WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN, and SLEEP; these periods can be seen individually on the display as you press the Schedule key.
WAKE is the time period you want the house at a comfortable temperature when you get up and while you get ready for work or school. (This will be a higher temperature during heating season, or a lower temperature during cooling season.)
LEAVE is the time period you can set for an energy-saving temperature while you are away at work or school. (This will be a lower temperature during heating season, or a higher temperature during cooling season.)
RETURN is the time period you want the house at a comfortable temperature for activities before bedtime. (Again, higher heat or lower cool.)
10 |
69-1119 |
SLEEP is the time period you can set for an energy-saving temperature while you are sleeping. (Again, lower heat or higher cool. For more comfortable sleeping, some people choose not to raise the cool temperature during the night.)
You will set one schedule for weekdays and another for weekends, because your requirements will probably be different for each. Also, during weekends, only the WAKE and SLEEP time periods are available.
Fill in the times and temperatures you desire for weekdays and weekends. If you decide not to program the thermostat, it will automatically control heating at 68°F (20°C), and cooling at 78°F (26°C), 24 hours a day. Also, you do not need to enter a time and temperature program for all periods if your schedule does not require
it. For example, a house that is occupied during weekdays would only require programs for WAKE and SLEEP.
If no program is entered for the weekends, the thermostat will operate on the weekday SLEEP program all weekend.
Before programming, remove the clear plastic overlay covering the display.
When pressing the keys, use the ball of your finger or a soft pencil eraser. Using sharp fingernails or pencil points can damage the keypad.
If you make an error at any time during programming, just press the Run Program key, and continue again at the step where you left off.
