HEAT − Using the Heat Mode

Normal Heat Mode

In normal heat mode, both the heat pump and the backup heat source are used to provide heat. If the thermostat detects that the heat pump is not able to provide enough heat (as may be the case in very cold weather), then the backup heat source is activated.

Emergency Heat Mode

In emergency heat mode, only the backup heat source provides heat the heat pump is disabled. The backup heat source is activated only when there is a heat demand.

Enabling Normal Heat Mode

Use the HEAT button to select normal heat mode, emergency heat mode, or to disable heat modes as desired. If the thermostat is in OFF or COOL mode, pressing the Heat button enables Heat mode. This is indicated by HEAT in the SYSTEM box as shown in figure 4.

Heating Demand

The thermostat must be in either normal or emergency heat mode in order to properly control the heating equipment. In either heat mode, when the actual temperature is lower than the temperature setpoint (as shown in figure 7), the thermostat detects a heating demand and activates the heating equipment to satisfy the demand. Heating operation is indicated by a flame icon in the SYSTEM box.

When the actual temperature rises above the temperature setpoint, the flame icon will disappear. This indicates that the heating demand has been satisfied and that the heating equipment has been turned off.

Heat pump operation is locked out for 5 minutes after a demand has been satisfied. If another heat pump demand occurs during this 5−minute interval, the flame icon will flash; however, the heat pump will not run until the 5−minute delay has elapsed.

NOTE − The heat pump is activated for at least 4 minutes if no buttons are pressed during the demand interval. The backup heat source is activated for at least 3 minutes if no buttons are pressed during the demand interval.

If your system supports 3−stage heating (as does the 51M37 thermostat), you may notice various heating levels being delivered during a demand.

If a small heat pump heating demand is present, "Lo" is displayed in the SYSTEM box; if a large heat pump heating demand is present, "Hi" is displayed (see figure 8).

HOLD − Using Temperature Hold Modes

 

PROG − Thermostat Programming

When HOLD is displayed at the HOME screen, the thermostat is in a temperature hold condition. This means that the temperature program data is ignored and the thermostat functions much like a non−programmable thermostat.

Adjusting Temperature Setpoint in Hold Mode

The temperature setpoint represents the desired temperature of the space around the thermostat. The default temperature setpoint in Hold mode is 70°F.

To adjust the setpoint, press the UP or DOWN (YB) arrow buttons (see figure 12); the existing setpoint is displayed to the right of the actual room temperature. Each button press adjusts the setpoint up or down by 1 degree.

The 51M37 thermostat can be programmed to perform a set of either heating or cooling events (but not a combination of heat and cool) for 5 consecutive days using a set of 4 unique events per day. The remaining 2 days can then be set for a different set of 4 unique events per day. Both the consecutive days and the events/temperature are set by the homeowner.

To Change Consecutive Days...

To alter the 5 consecutive days, press and hold the

PROG button for 5 seconds. The 5 consecutive day period is then displayed (default is MOnday thru FRiday). To change to a different 5-consecutive days, use the Up/

Down arrow buttons. Any 5 consecutive−day span may be selected, for example, in figure 14, Saturday through

Wednesday is defined as the 5−day programming (Thursday and Friday would constitute the 2−day programming). Press the PROG button when finished.

To Set Program Events and Temperatures...

Figure 15 gives an example of how the two sets of programs can be set for a normal workweek and weekend.

In the 5−day bar graph, note how programs A and C reflect the desired warmth while the home IS occupied (72°); B allows less heating while the home is NOT occupied; D reflects a cooler sleeping temperature. The 2−day bar graph would support day−long occupancy and, because the first program begins later, a less−demanding time schedule.

SETTINGS − Balance Point

NOTE − The balance point is only available with the outdoor sensor.

If the optional outdoor sensor (X2658) is connected to the thermostat, balance point adjustment is available. The balance point feature allows the measured outdoor temperature to govern operation of the heat pump and backup heat source.

Use the SETTINGS button to access the balance point setting. If the outdoor sensor is attached to the thermostat, press the SETTINGS button three times to access the Balance Point Settings screen (see figure 20).

SETPOINT

55°

Figure 20

The balance point can be set at any temperature between

1°F and 55°F (−17°C to 13°C). A balance point setting of zero disables the balance point function (in this case, the thermostat behaves as if no outdoor sensor is attached). The default balance point setting is 55°F.

To adjust the balance point up or down, press the Up/Down arrow buttons to the right of the display screen. The balance point setting increases by 1°F each time the Up button is pressed and decreases by 1°F each time the Down button is pressed.

After the desired balance point is reached, the HOME screen will reappear after about 15 seconds.

NOTE − The balance point feature allows the outdoor temperature to rise or fall 3°F above or below the balance point. This prevents excessive cycling of the equipment when the outdoor temperature is near the balance point. For example, if the balance point is 40°F and the actual outdoor temperature is 35°F, the outdoor temperature must rise to 43°F before equipment adjustment occurs. Conversely, if the balance point is 40°F and the actual outdoor temperature is 45°F, the outdoor temperature must drop to 37°F before equipment adjustment occurs.

Service Indicator

When abnormal equipment operation is detected, the SERVICE indicator will flash on the screen (see figure 21). This indicates that the equipment requires service from a qualified service technician.

Thermostat RESET

Under some abnormal conditions, it may be necessary toreset" the thermostat to its default condition. Such a RE-

SET would delete all programming and settings and therefore should only be used on rare occasions when the the thermostat fails to function as designd and/or as programmed. Such an instance can occur as a result of a power surge or similar electrical disturbance (e.g. after an electrical storm or power outage). The RESET button can be used to recover from this situation.

CAUTION

When the RESET button is pressed, ALL settings revert back to the defaults, including the default program (see tables 2 and 3).

The RESET button is an unlabeled, recessed button located behind the door, on the right−hand side of the thermostat, below the SETTINGS button (see figure 3). Use a paper clip or small pencil to press the RESET button; ALL thermostat settings will be reset to the defaults listed in the Default Thermostat Settings section.

Removing/Installing Thermostat

The thermostat hinges on tabs on the top of the subbase; no tool is needed to remove the thermostat from the subbase. Pivot the bottom of the thermostat outward (releasing the snaps), then lift up to remove.

To replace it, first position the top tilted toward the wall bracket and align it until you feel the tabs and slots engage; then, while the top is in place, pivot the bottom toward the wall until the thermostat snaps into place.

Smart Setback Recovery (via DIP switch #6)

Smart Setback Recovery (SSR) affects the way the thermostat responds to program events. If SSR is disabled, the thermostat will react to a program event at the time the event occurs. However, if SSR is enabled, the thermostat will react to a program event before the event occurs such that the desired temperature is reached at the time of the event, not after.

Fan Control

AUTO or ON modes.

I/O Relays

All thermostat relays are latching type to minimize power consumption.

For applications involving the use of a balance point (whereby the outdoor temperature is to be used to restrict either heat pump operation or backup heat source operation), the optional outdoor sensor (part number X2658) MUST be installed.

Equipment Protection Timers

Minimum Compressor OFF time: 5 minutes

Minimum Compressor ON time: 4 minutes

Minimum Furnace ON time: 3 minutes

Minimum furnace cycle time (elapsed time between any furnace activation and the next furnace activation): 6 minutes.

Minimum elapsed time between any compressor activation and the next compressor activation: 6 minutes.

NOTE − All protection timers (except the compressor OFF timer) can be over−ridden if a heating or cooling demand is initiated or terminated using the UP, DOWN, HEAT, or COOL buttons.

Equipment Protection Override

Both the minimum compressor OFF timer and the minimum equipment cycle timer can be over−ridden by pressing and holding either the HEAT or COOL button down for 4 seconds.

Over−Temperature Protection

Thermal-mechanical switch opens W1, Y1, Y2, and E at

93°F+/−6°F.

24VAC for at least 5 minutes, AND the L terminal is shorted to the R terminal;

OR

Sif the thermostat Y1 terminal has been activated with 24VAC for at least 5 minutes, AND the L terminal is shorted to the C terminal.

Power Loss/Recovery

Thermostat memory is retained for a minimum of 24 hours during a power loss (includes retention of program information, HOLD status, programmed temperature setpoint, heat/cool and fan mode settings, filter reminder status, maintenance reminder status, and equipment protection timers). After 24 hours of power loss, programmed settings will be lost and replaced with default settings.

IMPORTANT

Power must be applied for at least six consecutive hours prior to a power loss in order for memory to be retained for the specified time.

LCD Backlight

Activated for 30 seconds when any button is pressed.

NOTE − During an electrical storm or similar disturbance, the backlight may activate for a few seconds. This is normal and will no longer occur after the electrical disturbance has passed.

HOLD − Using Temperature Hold Modes

When HOLD is displayed at the HOME screen, the thermostat is in a temperature hold condition. This means that the temperature program data is ignored and the thermostat functions much like a non−programmable thermostat.

Adjusting Temperature Setpoint in Hold Mode

The temperature setpoint represents the desired temperature of the space around the thermostat. The default temperature setpoint in Hold mode is 70°F.

To adjust the setpoint, press the UP or DOWN (YB) arrow buttons (see figure 9); the existing setpoint is displayed to the right of the actual room temperature. Each button press adjusts the setpoint up or down by 1 degree.

PROG − Thermostat Programming

The 51M35 thermostat can be programmed to perform a set of either heating or cooling events (but not a combination of heat and cool) for 5 consecutive days using a set of 4 unique events per day. The remaining 2 days can then be set for a different set of 4 unique events per day. Both the consecutive days and the events/temperature are set by the homeowner.

To Change Consecutive Days...

To alter the 5 consecutive days, press and hold the PROG button for 5 seconds. The existing 5 consecutive day period is then displayed (default is MOnday thru FRiday). To change to a different 5-consecutive days, use the Up/ Down arrow buttons. Any 5 consecutive−day span may be selected, for example, in figure 11, Saturday through Wednesday is defined as the 5−day programming (Thursday and Friday would constitute the 2−day programming). Press the PROG button when finished.

To Set Program Events and Temperatures...

Figure 12 gives an example of how the two sets of programs can be set for a normal workweek and weekend. In the 5−day bar graph, note how programs A and C reflect the desired warmth while the home IS occupied (72°); B allows less heating while the home is NOT occupied; D reflects a cool sleeping temperature. The 2−day bar graph would support day−long occupancy and, because the first program begins later, a less−demanding time schedule.

Thermostat RESET

Under some abnormal conditions, it may be necessary to

reset" the thermostat to its default condition. Such a RESET would delete all programming and settings and therefore should only be used on rare occasions when the the thermostat fails to function as designd and/or as programmed. Such an instance can occur as a result of a power surge or similar electrical disturbance (e.g. after an electrical storm or power outage). The RESET button can be used to recover from this situation.

CAUTION

When the RESET button is pressed, ALL settings revert back to the defaults, including the default program (see tables 2 and 3).

The RESET button is an unlabeled, recessed button located behind the door on the right−hand side of the thermostat, below the SETTINGS button (see figure 3). Use a paper clip or small pencil to press the RESET button; ALL thermostat settings will be reset to the defaults listed in the Default Thermostat Settings section.

Removing and Installing Thermostat

The thermostat hinges on tabs on the top of the subbase; no tool is needed to remove the thermostat from the subbase. Pivot the bottom of the thermostat outward (releasing the snaps), then lift up to remove.

To install it, first position the top tilted toward the wall bracket and align it until you feel the tabs and slots engage; then, while the top is in place, pivot the bottom toward the wall until the thermostat snaps into place.

Default Thermostat Settings

Default thermostat settings are in table 2 and the default program is shown in table 3.

Technical Specifications

Thermostat Type

Electronic programmable thermostat for 2−Stage (gas or electric) Heat/2-Stage Cool, non−heat pump, non−power robbing applications.

Power Supply Range

18VAC − 30VAC (24VAC nominal), 60Hz

CAUTION

24VAC is present on the terminals of the thermostat bracket. If removing the thermostat from the wall, use caution and avoid touching any of the connector terminals on the wall bracket.

Also, when working with the thermostat dip switches, use a non−conductive tool and take caution to avoid making any contact with the circuit board, its imprinted circuitry and its connector prongs.

Temperature Display

Display Scale: Fahrenheit or Celsius user selectable (via

DIP switch; see figure 18)

Display range: 35°F (2°C) to 99°F (37°C) Display resolution: 1°F (1°C)

Display Accuracy: +/−1°F

If the Fahrenheit/Celsius display must be changed, use a plastic, non−conductive tool to push the dip switch to the right position (see figure 18).

Temperature Measurement Range

Measurement Scale: Fahrenheit

Measurement Range: 35°F to 99°F Measurement Resolution: 0.5°F Measurement Accuracy: +/−1°F

Field Offset: via DIP switches to +/−3°F

Sampling Method: temperature measurements sampled every 15 seconds. Displayed temperature is the average of the last four measurements.

Temperature Setpoint Range

Setting range: 50°F (10°C) to 90°F (32°C) Setting resolution: 1°F (1°C)

Smart Setback Recovery (via DIP switch #6)

Smart Setback Recovery (SSR) affects the way the thermostat responds to program events. If SSR is disabled, the thermostat will react to a program event at the time the event occurs. However, if SSR is enabled, the thermostat will react to a program event before the event occurs such that the desired temperature is reached at the time of the event, not after.

Fan Control

AUTO or ON modes, gas or electric heat compatible via DIP switches (also see Thermostat Output section).

I/O Relays

All thermostat relays are latching type to minimize power consumption.
