PREPARING THE UNIT

1. The WIN100 comes with (2) G13A size 1.5V Alkaline
Button Cell Batteries already installed. These batteries
power the clock only during normal operation. They also
provide backup power to retain the thermostats
programs and settings while it is not plugged into the
wall. In order to "activate" them, you must remove the
black ribbon from between the two batteries prior to
using it. Use a small regular screwdriver to pry open the
battery holder and pull out the black ribbon.

2. When you have the black ribbon out, simply push the
battery compartment back in while lining up the arrows.

3. On the back of the
WIN100, there is an
External Temperature
Sensor that looks like
an antenna. Pull this
sensor out of its clip
and bend the wire so
that it point straight
up. This is required
for accurate
temperature control.

4. On the upper right
side of the unit, there
is an On/Off switch.
Place this switch in
the OFF position for
right now.

MOUNTING

HOLD

Hold is the simplest method to maintain fixed set
temperatures.

●

Press HOLD once to enter the temperature HOLD
while in RUN or OVERRIDE. HOLD will be displayed on
the bottom of the display.

●

Pressing this button again will toggle HOLD off and
return the unit to RUN and the programmed set
temperature.

●

Changing system mode or rotating the SPEED DIAL
will also cancel a HOLD.

TEMPERATURE OVERRIDE

●

OVERRIDE allows you to change the current SET
TEMPERATURE in HEAT of COOL until the next program
period without changing your temperature control
programs.

●

Press an arrow key once.

●

While the Set Temperature is flashing; press an UP or
DOWN key to adjust the set temperature by one degree

in the associated direction. Holding the key will
automatically advance the setting in the associated
direction.

●

The OVERRIDE will be canceled at the start of the
next program period, and the temperature setting will
return to its programmed value.

●

An OVERRIDE may be terminated by rotating the dial,
switching the mode to OFF, or initiating a Hold.

●

Adjusting the set temperature to its program value will
also cancel an OVERRIDE.

PROGRAMMING

EDITING HEAT OR COOL PROGRAMS

The WIN100 provides two separate programs, one for
heating and the other for cooling. Each program has
separate settings for weekdays and weekends. Every
day a program cycles through four independent periods.
You can use the default programs or alter them to suit
your schedule.

DEFAULT TEMPERATURE PROGRAM

As supplied from the factory, the following ENERGY
STAR®approved program will be used for temperature
control in RUN MODE. This program and all other
software settings may be restored to their default values
via a SOFTWARE RESET.

®

NOTE:

program and install the default values of all
temperature programs and setup values into the
unit's nonvolatile memory. To ease
reprogramming later, record your thermostat's
programs and settings in the table provided at
the page bottom before using this button.

TEMPERATURE VARIATION / SWING

Your thermostat works by turning your heating or
cooling system on and off whenever the room
temperature varies a certain number of degrees from
the set-point temperature. This variation is the
"swing". Your system should cycle on about 3 to 6
times per hour. A smaller swing number increases the
number of cycles, so room temperature is more
constant. A larger swing number decreases the
number of cycles, saving energy in most cases.

SWING ADJUSTMENT

This setting controls when the heating or cooling
turns on and off.

●

The Swing setting sets the temperature variation the
system allows above or below the set temperature
before turning on the heating or Cooling. To change
this value:

1. Rotate the SPEED DIAL

2. Press NEXT and HOLD simultaneously. The
Temperature section of the display shows a single digit
number between 1 and 9.

Pressing this button will overwrite your

®

to RUN.

WARNING:

●

If any plugs do not fit into the receptacle that you
are trying to plug into, Stop, the WIN100 is not
designed for this application.

●

If the cord you are plugging into the WIN100 only
has 2 prongs, STOP, not having
a ground wire is unsafe. Your
Window Air Conditioner or Spacer
Heater must have a plug with 3
prongs on it.
