INSTALLATION
WARNING
!
Thermostat installation and all components of the
control system shall conform to Class II circuits per
the NEC code.
Remove Old Thermostat
A standard heat/cool thermostat consists of three basic parts:
1. The cover, which may be either a snap-on or hinge type.
2. The base, which is removed by loosening all captive
screws.
3. The switching subbase, which is removed by unscrewing
the mounting screws that hold it on the wall or adapter
plate. Before removing wires from old thermostat,
label each wire with the terminal designation from
which it was attached. Disconnect the wires from the old
thermostat one at a time. Do not let wires fall back into
the wall.
Installing New Thermostat
1. Pull the thermostat body off the thermostat base. Forcing
or prying on the thermostat will cause damage to the unit.
2. Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole
locations on wall using base as a template.
3. Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes. If you
are using existing mounting holes and the holes drilled
are too large and do not allow you to tighten base snug ly, use plastic screw anchors to secure the base.
4. Fasten base snugly to wall using mounting holes shown
in Figure 1 and two mounting screws. Leveling is for
appearance only and will not affect thermostat operation.
5. Connect wires to terminal block on base using
appropriate wiring schematic (see diagram sheet
37-6809).
6. Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fi re re sistant material (such as fi berglass insulation) to prevent
drafts from affecting thermostat operation.
7. Carefully line the thermostat up with the base and snap
into place.
Battery Location
2 "AA" alkaline batteries are included in the thermostat at the
factory with a battery tag to prevent power drainage. Remove
the battery tag to engage the batteries.
To replace batteries, set system to OFF, remove thermostat
from wall and install the batteries in the rear along the top of
the thermostat (see Figure 1).

6. Energy Management Recovery (EMR) – (This step is
skipped if confi gured as non-programmable.) When set
to "On" causes the thermostat to start heating or cooling
early to make the building temperature reach the program
setpoint at the time you specify.
Example: The heating program is 65°F at night and 70°
at 7 AM. If the building temperature is 65°F, the difference
is 5°F. Allowing 5 minutes per °F rise, the thermostat setpoint will change to 70° at 6:35 AM. Cooling allows more
time per °F, because it takes longer to reach temperature.

it again to copy. This value will be copied into all the morning, day and evening program periods. The night program
periods will be with a 6°F set back.
19. Select Cool Savings™: With Cool Savings™ enabled,
the thermostat will make small adjustments to the sensed
temperature during periods of high demand to reduce AC
system running time and save energy. When the cooling system has been running for more than 20 minutes,
humidity in the home will be lower and a higher temperature will feel comfortable. After 20 minutes of run time, the
thermostat will start decreasing the sensed temperature
in steps of less than one degree as the system continues
to run. These adjustments will eventually cause the system to satisfy the thermostat to turn the system off and reduce the energy consumption. When the Cool Savings™
feature is active and making adjustments, the display will
fl ash “CoolSavings”. The amount of the adjustments to
the sensed temperature is dependent on the Cool Savings™ value that is set, 1 being the least adjustment and
6 being the most adjustment. With this feature set to OFF,
no change will occur when the AC system is continuously
running during the periods of high demand. Periods of
high demand will normally occur during the late afternoon
and early evening on the hottest days of the summer. As
demand lessens the adjustments to sensed temperature
are reversed until sensed temperature returns to normal
and “CoolSavings” no longer fl ashes.

26. Select Dual Fuel Feature Using Outdoor Sensor (dF)
– This feature is applicable only in heat pump modes and
with an outdoor sensor installed and enabled in step 25.
The thermostat will use the outdoor sensor temperature
to determine when to switch to gas heat and shut down
the compressor.
Select DF setting (dF) – dF default is 5. Select the
setting for outdoor temperature in the range of 5
When the outdoor temperature goes below the selected
temperature, the gas heat will begin.
Select Compressor Delay (Cd) – If dF is selected
higher than 5, after the auxiliary heat is turned on, the
compressor(s) shut down is delayed for the time selected
(in seconds). This delay is factory set to 60, but can be set
in the range of 0 to 99.
27. Select Auxiliary Off (AO) – Select the temperature that
will inhibit the auxiliary heating stage. As long as the outdoor temperature is above the selected temperature, the
auxiliary heat will not turn on. The default setting is 60°,
but can be set in the range of 35 ° to 80°.
28. Humidity Display (Hd) – Selecting HD On enables the
display to alternately show the current time and the humidity. If HD is selected OFF, the display will not show the
humidity.
29. Adjustable Humidity Display – The display will show
the ambient humidity and 00 (default). The setting can
be changed from -20 and LO to 20 and HI. The displayed
humidity will change as the offset is changed. In Run
mode, the displayed humidity will be the ambient humidity
adjusted by the setting selected.
30. Auto Humidity Reduction (HR) – This feature automatically lowers humidity setting when the outside
temperature drops to prevent the interior windows/walls
from reaching the dew point where water condenses on
surfaces. This feature default is OFF. It can be changed
to select LO (low humidity reduction) or HI. To achieve
automatic humidity reduction, the thermostat lowers the
humidity when furnace cycles are long. When the outside
temperature rises, it increases humidity. "LO" indicates a
low amount of humidity reduction.
31. Automatic Humidifi cation (AH) – This feature if enabled
allows for humidifi cation independent of a call for heating
– useful in arid climates where addition humidifi cation in
heating and/or cooling is desired. If enabled, will energize
the humidifi er and circulator blower (“G” terminal and the
“HM” terminal) if the actual humidity is below the humidity set point. The display indicates AH. Pressing the
key will cycle the display from OFF to H (feature enabled
in Heat mode) to C (feature enabled in Cool mode) to A
(feature enabled to Auto mode) and back to OFF.
32. Programmable Dehumidifi cation Optimal Comfort Mode (OC) – This item can be selected to OC (Optimal
Comfort mode), or OFF. When Optimal Comfort (OC) is
enabled, this feature automatically reduces indoor humidity with a call for Cooling if humidity is 2% above humidity
setpoint. Humidity is set by pressing the Humidity key
when in the appropriate mode, in this case Cooling, and
o
to 50o.
pressing the or keys to set desired humidity (range
40% to 95%) level followed by pressing Humidity key
again. This dehumidifi cation feature uses less energy by
maintaining temperature and dehumidifying only when a
call for Cooling is required.
33. Select Change UV LampTime – This feature allows
the thermostat to display the words "Change UV Lamp"
(Call for Service of UV bulb) after a set time of UV bulb
operation. This is a reminder to maintain your UV system
at optimum level of operation. When enabled, the factory
set interval for "Change UV Lamp" to be displayed is 350
days of UV bulb operation and can be set between 25 to
1975 days in 25 day increments. This should be adjusted
with respect to the bulb’s recommended maintenance
schedule.
When "Change UV Lamp" is displayed, you can clear it
by pressing Clean Display.
34. SelectChange Humidifi er Pad Time – This feature al-
lows the thermostat to display the words "Change Pad"
after a set time of humidifi er operation. This is a reminder
to maintain or clean your humidifi er. The factory set
interval for "Change Pad" to be displayed is 200 hours of
humidifi er operation and can be set between 25 to 1975
hours in 25 hour increments. This should be adjusted with
respect to the humidifi er’s recommended maintenance
schedule.
When "Change Pad" is displayed, you can clear it by

Planning Your Program – Important
The Heating and Cooling Program schedules below allow you to pencil in your own program times and temperatures.
The (-)HC-TST412MDMS comes confi gured for 7 day programming and can also be confi gured for 5+1+1 programming (see
confi guration section).
Factory settings are listed on Monday, Saturday and Sunday. If you are re-programming a 5+1+1 day schedule, pencil in your
own times and temperatures directly below the factory times and temperatures.
If you are re-programming a 7 day fi ll in all lines with the times and temperatures you want.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when planning your program.
• In Heating, lower temperatures will save energy.
• In Cooling, higher temperatures will save energy.
• If you plan on using Auto Changeover, do not program the heating higher than the cooling.
Worksheet for Re-Programming 5+1+1 and 7 Day Program
One remote temperature sensor can be installed indoor or
outdoor and connected to the thermostat by a maximum
cable length of 100 meters (300 feet). Terminals +, S and - on
the terminal block allow connection of the remote sensor.
The thermostat must have 24 VAC Common connection to
terminal C for the remote sensor to operate. The remote sensor can be enabled or disabled in the Installer/Confi guration
menu, item 25.
When remote sensor, Remote, is selected Off (factory default), no remote sensor is enabled. When remote sensor is
selected On, the next step is to select the remote as indoor,
Remote In, or outdoor, Remote Outdoor. If the remote is selected as Remote In, an additional step will be to select if the
temperature shown on the display will be from the thermostat,
LS On, or the remote sensor Ls Off.
In normal operation, when a remote sensor is enabled the
time digits of the display will alternate between the time and
the remote temperature for three seconds each. Above the
remote temperature will be Remote, for indoor sensor or
Outdoor Remote, for outdoor sensor. If the remote sensor is
an indoor sensor and the local display has been disabled, the
temperature displayed as the room temperature will be the
remote sensor temperature.
Sensing Range:
Outdoor temperature range is -40 to 140
Indoor temperature range is 32

Weight of Remote Reading
The thermostat is designed to receive the temperature of
the indoor remote sensor and average, or weight, it with the
local sensor in the thermostat for each program period. The
averaging will be active only when the local sensor and the
indoor remote sensor are both functional and enabled in the
Installer/Confi guration menu.
When the thermostat is in the Set Schedule mode, the weight
of the indoor sensor will be shown in the current temperature
digits of the display. The weight will show as A2 (average and
default), H4 (high) or L1 (low). Pressing the
the same time will change the weight for the program period.
The weight of the local sensor is fi xed.
In normal operation of the thermostat, the current temperature displayed will be the weighted average of the local
sensor and the remote sensor using the formula (local sensor
weight x local sensor temperature) + (remote sensor weight x
remote sensor temperature) / (local sensor weight + remote
sensor weight).
Example: Local sensor temperature is 80° and the remote
sensor is 70°.
If weight is selected H4, the averaged temperature of 72° will
be displayed.
(1 x 80) + (4 x 70) / 5 = 72°
If weight is selected A2, the average temperature of 73° will
be displayed.
(1 x 80) + (2 x 70) / 3 = 73.3°
If weight is selected L1, the average temperature of 75° will
be displayed.
(1 x 80) + (1 x 70) / 2 = 75°
and keys at
The example shows that the weight selected would prioritize
the overall averaged temperature between the two sensors.
The high weight selection caused the remote sensor to have
a higher infl uence in the calculated temperature average than
the local sensor and the low weight selection caused the
remote sensor to have less infl uence.
Call for Service Indicator
"Call for Service" indicates a compressor fault. "Call for "Service" will be on continuously when the L terminal is energized.
"Call for Service" will fl ash at the same rate as the L terminal
input signal, indicating a fault code.
Dual Fuel Temperature Setpoint
When the thermostat is confi gured for Heat Pump mode and
an outside remote sensor is installed, the thermostat can
monitor the outside temperature. When the outside temperature falls below a user selectable temperature, the thermostat
will switch to gas heat and shut down the compressor. This
eliminates the need for a fossil fuel kit.
The user selectable temperature is called the dual fuel temperature setpoint, dF and is set in the Installer/Confi guration
menu, item 26. The dual fuel temperature setpoint can be
set to a temperature of 5 through 50. A selection of 5 (default
setting) disables this feature and menu selection of Cd will not
be available.
After the dual fuel temperature setpoint is set above 5 and
is pressed, a delay, Cd, can be set for compressor shutdown
after the auxiliary stage is energized. This delay can be set
from 0 seconds to 99 seconds to minimize the time that the
system may blow cooler air until the alternate source of heat
comes on. Default setting for delay is 60. When setting the
delay if the

TROUBLESHOOTING
Reset Operation
Note: When thermostat is reset, installer confi guration menu settings and programming will reset to factory settings.
If a voltage spike or static discharge blanks out the display or causes erratic thermostat operation, you can reset the thermostat by removing
the wires from terminals R and C (do not short them together) and removing batteries for 2 minutes. After resetting the thermostat, replace the
wires and batteries. If the thermostat has been reset and still does not function correctly contact your heating/cooling service person or place
of purchase.
Note: Be sure to review the installer confi guration menu settings.
To reset the programming, clock and confi guration settings, press
go blank and then all segments will be displayed momentarily.

Many furnaces have safety devices that shut down when a
lock-out condition occurs. If the heat works intermittently contact the furnace manufacturer or local HVAC service person
for assistance.
Diagnostic: Set SYSTEM Switch to HEAT and raise the
setpoint above room temperature. Within a few seconds the
thermostat should make a soft click sound. This sound usually indicates the thermostat is operating properly. If the thermostat does not click, try the reset operation listed above. If
the thermostat does not click after being reset contact your
heating and cooling service person or place of purchase for
a replacement. If the thermostat clicks, contact the furnace
manufacturer or a HVAC service person to verify the heating
is operating correctly.
Same as diagnostic for No Heat condition except set the
thermostat to COOL and lower the setpoint below the room
temperature. There may be up to a fi ve minute delay before
the thermostat clicks in Cooling.
Check each wire connection to verify they are not shorted or
touching together. No bare wire should stick out from under
terminal block. Try resetting the thermostat as described
above. If the condition persists the manufacturer of your
system or service person can instruct you on how to test the
Heat/Cool system for correct operation. If the system operates correctly, replace the thermostat.
The thermometer can be adjusted +/- 4 degrees. See
Temperature Display Adjustment in the Confi guration Menu
section.
Digital thermostats provide precise control and cycle faster
than older mechanical models. The system turns on and off
more frequently but runs for a shorter time so there is no
increase in energy use. If you would like an increased cycle
time, choose SL for slow cycle in the Confi guration menu,
step 6 (heat) or 7 (cool). If an acceptable cycle rate is not
achieved, contact a local HVAC service person for additional
suggestions.
Press the menu button (button will disappear) and hold in for
20 seconds. This unlocks the thermostat.
