Customizing the Program
1)
Set the System switch to the HEAT or COOL position and the Fan switch to either the AUTO or ON posi-
tion. NOTE: In
AUTO, the system blower will run only when the A/C or heat is running. In ON, the sys-
tem blower will operate continuously.
2) Depress the PROGRAM key. The set point temperature will blink and the time will be dis-
played.
3) Use the red/blue arrow keys to select the set point temperature for the Morning program for Mon.
4) While the temperature is still blinking, press the TIME/DAY key to set the time for the Morning program.
The time in the LCD will blink. Use the red/blue arrow keys to select the correct time.
5) Set the remaining Morning, Day, Evening, and Night times and temperatures for each remaining day of the
week.
• Depress the
PROGRAM key to select the desired period. (Each depression of this key cycles the menu
to the next period.)
• Depress the
Time/Day key to switch between time settings and temperature settings at each period.
• Use the red/blue arrow keys to increase/decrease the time and temperature settings.
• The settings are automatically stored 15 seconds after the last touch of a key. NOTE: If the programming at any period is not completed and the display stops blinking, depress the PROGRAM key as necessary to cycle back to the desired period to be programmed.
• This procedure is required to program both the
COOL and HEAT system settings.
Temporary Hold
1) Use the red/blue arrow keys to temporarily raise or lower the set point temperature at any time during nor-
mal operation. The temperature will hold at the new level UNTIL the next program period begins at which
point the thermostat will return to the program temperature.

Vacation Hold
1) The thermostat can be set to hold a single specific temperature for up to 30
consecutive days. Upon activation, the thermostat will hold the temperature until the duration period times out at which point the thermostat will
return to program mode. To activate this feature, depress the
VACATION
key. The LCD will display the duration in days and the set point temperature.
2) Use the red/blue arrow keys to adjust the set-point temperature to the desired level.
3) Depress the TIME/DAY key to select the duration of the hold period (up to 30 days). After 10 seconds
from the last touch of a key, the thermostat will store the setting and the LCD will return to its normal setting.
NOTES: To view the time remaining on vacation hold during normal operation, depress the
VACATION key at
any time. To leave vacation mode and return the thermostat back to normal program mode at any time,
depress the
RUN key for 1 second.
Understanding Additional Features
• Advanced Recovery Mode: This feature minimizes the time required to achieve a comfort setting after a
set back period. During normal operation, the thermostat will gradually change to the set point temperature
prior to the actual program time. Advanced Recovery Mode ensures that the room is at the desired temperature at the desired time by intelligently initiating the temperature adjustment in advance. Note: This feature can be deactivated by changing the ARM switch on the circuit board to off.
•
High Temperature Protection: While in the HEAT position, if the room temperature reaches 93 F (34 C),
the thermostat will automatically shut off. In the unlikely event the room temperature reaches 99 F (37 C), a
mechanical bimetal switch will shut off the thermostat.
•
Low Temperature Protection: While in the HEAT position, if the room temperature drops below 40 F (4
C), the thermostat will automatically initiate a call for heat.

• Compressor Protection: To protect the system compressor(s) from damage, the thermostat features a 5
minute delay. After the cooling system (or heat pump) turns off, the thermostat will not allow it to re-start
until the 5 minute delay expires. A blinking snowflake/flame indicates this feature has been activated.
Once the 5 minute delay expires, the snowflake/flame will illuminate continuously and the system will be
able to re-start when called upon.
NOTE: For the purpose of unit installation, this delay can be overridden by
depressing the
RESET button. This will erase any programmed settings.
•
System Reset: The thermostat can be reset to factory software settings including the program. All user
entered settings will be lost. The reset will also override the 5 minute compressor protection feature. To
reset the thermostat, gently press the reset button on the front panel using a paper clip or similar small
pointed object.
•
Filter Change Reminder: The thermostat features a reminder for the user to change the heating/cooling
system filter(s). When the system fan is operating, the internal thermostat timer is activated. When the
timer reaches 500 hours, the system filter should be changed. To view the time:
1) Depress the PROGRAM and RUN
keys simultaneously. The time in
hours will be displayed. To reset
the filter icon from this position,
depress and hold the PROGRAM key for 3 seconds. The counter will reset to 000 Hr.
•
Low Battery Detection: Low battery power is displayed by the illumination of a battery icon in the LCD.
The thermostat can operate for a period of 2 months once the warning has been initiated. Two fresh AA
Alkaline batteries should be installed as soon as the warning icon illuminates.
