NOTE: If you have an electric system and
the blower does not operate after
installation, verify that the electric/gas
option in installer set up is set to Electric,
see SETUP OPTIONS.
18. Your installation is now complete.
5. OPERATING BASICS
5.1 UP/DOWN CHANGE KEYS
• These are the two upper keys, just right of the
units display. They are used to adjust set
temperatures, and make other setting changes.
• Pressing these keys once will adjust a setting
one step in the associated direction.
• If there are many choices for a value, usually
that setting will advance while holding one of
these keys. Some settings though, must be
changed one press at a time.
5.2 SET DAY AND TIME
To set the correct time after the unit has lost
power or after reset:
• Open the door on the front of the thermostat.
• Rotate the dial to
SET DAY/TIME
. The
abbreviation for the day of week will flash.
• Use the UP key to advance to the current day.
• Press
NEXT
to adjust the time. Time will flash.
• Use the
UP/DOWN
keys to set the time.
• Pressing
NEXT
again will toggle from Set Time
to Set Day, or vice versa.
• Return the dial to its
RUN
position.
5.3 TEMPERATURE CONTROL MODES
When a unit has first been powered up with the
dial in the
RUN
position, your thermostat will
begin to control your heating and/or air
conditioning system according to it’s default
ENERGY STAR
®
approved program. There is a 5position slide switch to change temperature
control modes. Slide the switch to the mode you
would like to use.
5.4 EMERGENCY (EMER)
• Use EMERGENCY position on slide switch to
active your emergency heating. You will see
"EMER HEAT" appear in the display. Press
temperature UP or DOWN keys until your
desired temperature is displayed in the HEAT SET
area of the display. "EMER HEAT" will flash if it
is activated and running.
• Putting your thermostat in this mode will
disable the other 2 stages of heating. (Your heat
pump will be disabled).
• The 3rd stage of heat will deenergize as soon as
the temperature setpoint is reached. The letters
"EMER" will disappear.
5.5 AUTOCHANGE (AUTO)
• Use AUTOCHANGE mode to allow your
thermostat to switch between HEAT and COOL
modes automatically. Slide the mode switch to
AUTO
and
AUTO CHANGE
will be displayed
above the set temperature. You can determine
whether your thermostat is in HEAT or COOL
mode by whether HEAT or COOL is visible in the
set temperature area of the units display. Initially
HEAT or COOL may not be active until a
determination is made that HEAT or COOL is
necessary.
• The programmed temperature for a given mode
will be used as the set temperature for that
mode.
• Pressing the
UP/DOWN
keys at the same time
will force the unit to change modes and make the
programmed set temperature the new set
temperature.
5.6 HEAT
• Use HEAT mode to control your furnace and
warm your home.
• In HEAT mode,
HEAT
is displayed right of the
set temperature.
•
HEAT
will display solid if there is no load.
• While the 1st stage of heating is active,
HEAT
will flash.

CAUTION:
• Be careful not to drop the unit or disturb
electronic parts.
• Leave the door closed while the body is
being removed from the base.
9. Route the wires through the open areas in the
base plate above the terminals. Hold the base
against the wall, with the wires coming through.
Position the base for the best appearance (to
hide any marks from an old thermostat). Attach
the base to the wall with the two screws
provided.
NOTE: If you are mounting the base to a
soft material like plasterboard or if you are
using the old mounting holes, the screws
may not hold. Drill a 3/16-in. (4.8mm) hole
at each screw location, and insert the
plastic anchors provided. Then mount the
base as described below.
4.5 WIRING
• Using the terminal descriptions below, wiring
diagram on page 14, and your labels, determine
the appropriate wiring for your system.
• Also Refer to the Heat Pump Cross-reference
Chart on page 15.
• If you are unsure or need assistance, call the
LUX Technical Assistance Dept. (see
TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE
.)
4.5.1 TERMINAL DESCRIPTIONS
• See drawing on page 16 showing layout of
terminals.
G The fan terminal is live at any time the
thermostat attempts to turn the system fan or
blower on.
O Live at any time the unit is in Cool mode.
B Live at any time unit is in Heat Mode.
W Active while the thermostat is calling for
auxiliary 3rd stage of heat.
Y2 Active while calling for a 2nd stage of
heating/cooling.
R Transformer, Provides Power
Y1 Active while calling for a 1st Stage of
heating/cooling.
C Use of this terminal allows the unit to be
system powered rather than battery powered.
E This terminal is active when the thermostat is
calling for Emergency Heat.
4.5.2 CONNECTING THE WIRES
10. Loosen wire clamp screws
just enough to slide wire under
the black top part of the clamp.
11. Connect stripped wire ends,
by trapping it between its black clamp and brass
terminal. Then tighten its terminal screw.
12. Tape the ends of any unused wires.
4.5.3 COMPLETING YOUR INSTALLATION
13. Install two new Energizer®or DURACELL
®
"AA" size alkaline batteries at this time. For
instructions, refer to BATTERIES/MAINTENANCE.
14. Configure your thermostat at this time. Refer
to SETUP OPTIONS.
15. Install your thermostat on its base. To do
this, hang the top of the unit by the tabs on the
base, then snap the bottom of the unit into place.
Do not use unnecessary force. If the body does
not snap into place easily, remove the body, rehang it from tabs and try again.
16. Turn the power back on to your heating
and/or air conditioning system.
17. Verify that the system and its fan are
operating properly. When set to a high
temperature, the heating system should provide
warm air after a short time. Likewise, a cooling
system should provide cool air after a short time.
Usually sound from the furnace and air
conditioning units can be heard while they are
running. The rush of moving air should be heard
within a short time after either has been started.
