At this point, the thermostat will be fully functional; its default temperature setpoint (not shown) is 70°F. At this
point, if the equipment has been fully powered and if a heat
demand were present, the system would begin operating.
NOTE − Temperature scale default is Fahrenheit units but
may be reset to show Celsius, if desired. See page 8.
Buttons, Backlight, Timers & Settings
Buttons are located behind the small door on the right−
hand side of the thermostat (see figure 3).
IMPORTANT
Do NOT begin pressing buttons until after you read
the following section describing each button.
A pale blue display backlight illuminates for 30 seconds
each time any button is pressed.
When PROG or DAY/TIME button is pressed, a field begins flashing, expecting another input. Start making

Cooling Demand
Set the thermostat to cool mode to control the cooling

equipment to satisfy the demand.
Cooling operation is indicated by flashing snowflake"
icons on the right side of the display. When the actual temperature drops below the temperature setpoint, the snowflake icons will disappear. This indicates that the cooling
demand has been satisfied and that the cooling equipment
has been turned off.
If your system supports 2−stage cooling (as does the
L3722C thermostat), you may notice various cooling levels
being delivered during a demand. Also, if a small cooling

NOTE − If no buttons are pressed during a demand for
cooling, the equipment must operate for at least 4 minutes.
After a demand has been satisfied, cooling equipment operation is locked out for 5 minutes. If another cooling demand occurs during this 5−minute interval, COOL" and the
snowflakes will flash; however, the cooling equipment will
not operate until the 5−minute delay has elapsed.
AUTO − Using the Autochangeover Mode
When in either heat mode or cool mode, autochangeover
can be enabled or disabled by pressing the AUTO button. If
enabled, AUTO appears at the lower right corner of the display. The thermostat will then automatically change over
from heating to cooling and vice versa, to keep the room
temperature in between the heating and cooling setpoints.
Autochangeover can be used in either of the thermostat
hold modes, or when the thermostat program is running.
These modes are described later.
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 heat
setpoint in hold mode is 70°F; the default cool setpoint in
hold mode is 78°F.
After the desired setpoint is reached, the HOME screen
will reappear after about 15 seconds.
Permanent Hold Mode
At any time the program is running, from the HOME
screen, set a permanent hold (program override) by pressing the HOLD button (see figure 9). The thermostat now
functions much like a non−programmable thermostat. Use
the Up/Down arrow buttons to adjust the hold setpoint. To
return to the program, press the HOLD button again.
Temporary (2-Hour) Hold
At any time the program is running, from the HOME
screen, set a temporary 2-hour hold by pressing the Up/
Down arrow buttons until the desired setpoint is displayed;
HOLD" flashes (see figure 10). This overrides the program for 2 hours from the last button press, then returns to
the program.
While in Temporary Hold, press the HOLD button once to
switch to Permanent Hold (HOLD displays solid; PROG
not displayed); press the HOLD button again to return to
the program (PROG displays; HOLD not displayed).

PROG − Thermostat Programming
The L3722C thermostat can be programmed to perform a
set of both heating and cooling events for each day of the
week. Each day can be programmed for 4 unique events
per day, and each day can be different from any other day.
To Set Program Events and Temperatures
Figure 11 gives an example of how up to 7 different programs can be set. 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.
NOTE − This example shows heat setpoints; a similar program may be set for cool setpoints.

NOTE − Pressing the ENTER button during the following
programming steps, saves and exits to the HOME screen.
To program events and temperatures, perform the following steps.
1. Press and release the PROG button. "MO" (Monday),
"AM 6:00", period "A", "COOL SETPOINT 78", and
"HEAT SETPOINT 70" are displayed. "AM 6" flashes.
2. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to select the desired
hour; press the PROG button when the desired hour
is reached; use the Up/Down arrow buttons again to
select desired minute. The selected hour/minute is
when the program will start. Press the PROG button.
3. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to select the desired
heat setpoint; press the PROG button.
4. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to select the desired
cool setpoint; press the PROG button.
5. Repeat steps 1 − 4 for Monday, periods B, C, and D.
6. COPY A PROGRAM − If the program entered for
Monday is satisfactory for other days of the week, do
the following to repeat the same program for other
days:
A Press the PROG button, then press the COPY
button. The display clears the screen except for
Copy from MO with MO" flashing. Press the
COPY button again to copy Monday’s program.
B The display changes to Copy to MO". Use the ar-
row buttons to scroll to the desired day where you
want the same program as Monday. Press the
COPY button.

After the filter has been changed or maintenance performed, reset the reminder by pressing the SETTINGS
button for 4 seconds at the corresponding reminder settings screen. The screen will blink for a few moments to indicate that the timer has been reset.
Service Indicator
When abnormal equipment operation is detected, the
SERVICE indicator will flash on the screen (see figure 17).
This indicates that the equipment requires service from a
qualified service technician.
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 designed 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 3 and 4).
NOTE − The HOME screen will reappear about 15 seconds
after the final arrow button press. OR, press the ENTER
button at any time to store any changes and exit to the
HOME screen.
After either programmed interval has elapsed, the reminder will be displayed as shown in figure 17.
506071−01 02/08
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.
Thermostat Output Table
Table 2 depicts the L3722C thermostat output states for
various input conditions. The following notes described
terms used in the table.
NOTE − X = output is activated with 24VAC.
NOTE − The temperature ranges expressed in the following def-
initions of SMALL/LARGE" demands are for guidance only; actual temperatures may vary.
With a SMALL heat demand, temperature is:
