IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING:
Always turn off power at the main power source by unscrewing fuse or switching circuit breaker to the off position
before installing, removing, or cleaning this thermostat.
Read all of the information in this manual before programming this thermostat.
This is a 24V AC low-voltage thermostat. Do not install on voltages higher than 30V AC.
If you experience a loss of power, this thermostat will indicate “-AC” in the time field of the LCD display. This
means that your system’s 24V AC circuit is not receiving power or is not functioning correctly. The back-up batteries provided in this thermostat will maintain the programming during the loss of power. However, the thermostat requires 24V AC power and a functioning system for proper control.
All wiring must conform to local and national building and electrical codes and ordinances.
Do not short (jumper) across terminals on the gas valve or at the system control to test installation. This will
damage the thermostat and void the warranty.
This thermostat is equipped with automatic compressor protection to prevent potential damage due to short cycling or
extended power outages. The short cycle protection provides a 5-minute delay between heating or cooling cycles to prevent compressor damage.
During extended power outages our thermostat provides an extra margin of compressor protection in the heat mode by delaying the first stage of heating (heat pump) from engaging until the compressor crankcase oil has been warmed. This will help avoid compressor damage due to improper oil circulation during cold weather conditions. This important safeguard will delay the first stage of heating (heat pump) for 1 hour less than the power outage, for up to 12 hours maximum. During this period the system will depend on the auxiliary stages of heating to maintain the setpoint temperature.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (CONT.)
Do not switch system to cool if the temperature is below 50°F (10°C). This can damage the
cooling system and may cause personal injury.
This thermostat is 24V AC powered and requires connection to both sides of transformer for
proper operation. It also requires four charged “AA” ENERGIZER®brand batteries or equivalent alkaline batteries as a back-up power source. Should the 24V AC circuit be interrupted temporarily due to a power outage, the battery back-up will maintain all program information during power outages.
Replace back-up batteries every year or when “LO BATT” indicator appears on the thermostat
display.
Use this thermostat only as described in this manual.
HELPFUL PROGRAMMING TIPS
Make sure the SYSTEM switch is in the HEAT or COOL position before programming.
The thermostat will not allow programming in AUTO or OFF modes. Do not program in EMER mode.
Make sure you set the time of day (note AM/PM indicator) and day of week accurately to
ensure correct operation.
The program schedule has a winter (HEAT) and a summer (COOL) program. Both schedules will
use the same time and programmable fan settings, but can have different temperature settings. If you change the time or programmable fan setting in one program, the opposite program will change also.

SYSTEM
Page 7
The Energy Efficient Recovery (EER™) feature looks ahead up to 2 hours prior to the end of
the set-back (or set-up) period to begin monitoring system performance and calculating when to turn on the system. It also determines whether the auxiliary heat or cool stages should be activated prior to setpoint time to meet your chosen setpoint temperature. The thermostat will indicate "EER" in the display when this program feature is active. The EER™ feature will lock out the auxiliary stages until 30 minutes prior to the upcoming setpoint time to utilize the most energy efficient heat pump (first) stage. The auxiliary stages of heating and cooling will be available during this lock-out period to maintain the setpoint temperature should the heat pump not be able to keep up with the heating or cooling demand.
To control the system, press the SYSTEM switch until HEAT, COOL, EMER, or AUTO appears
in the display. The thermostat will not properly control the system to your desired setpoint temperature unless it is in one of these operating modes.
The EMER (emergency) mode of heat can be manually selected to bypass heat pump oper-
ation and switch to auxiliary or emergency stages of heating to control setpoint temperature.
To enter AUTO, you must first be in PROGRAM mode. Press PROG/MAN button until
PROGRAM appears in display. Then press SYSTEM button to enter AUTO.
The QuickSet™ feature programs each individual day simultaneously with the identical
program. Each and every day can then be individually modified to suit specific needs/desires.

Program Overview
This programmable thermostat can have up to four setpoints per day (MORN, DAY, EVE, NIGHT). Each of these setpoints will have a time, temperature and programmable fan setting. The thermostat is pre-programmed with setpoints that meet the EPA’s Energy Star®requirements. The use of these setpoints can greatly reduce energy bills for the average household. If the setpoints do not meet the needs of your household, they are fully adjustable to any settings desired. This thermostat will monitor the time of day and turn the system on or off, based on the temperature differential, to maintain the programmed or manually selected setpoint temperature.
To save money and energy, you can adjust these setpoint times and temperatures to provide set-back periods in program mode during the day or at night. The Energy Efficient Recovery (EER™) feature looks ahead up to 2 hours prior to the end of the set-back (or set-up) period to begin monitoring system performance and calculating when to turn on your system. It also determines whether the auxiliary heat or cool stages should be activated prior to setpoint time to meet your chosen setpoint temperature. The thermostat will indicate "EER" in the display when this program feature is active. The EER™ feature will lock-out the auxiliary stages until 20 minutes prior to the upcoming setpoint time to utilize the most energy efficient heat pump (first) stage. The auxiliary stages of heating and cooling will be available after this lock-out period to maintain the setpoint temperature should the heat pump not be able to keep up with heating or cooling demand.
Selecting ˚F/˚C
The thermostat displays temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit. If you wish to change the readout to Celsius:
1. Press and hold SET button while pressing button. Release both buttons. The display will switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius. If you wish to switch back to Fahrenheit, simply repeat this step.
NOTE: All differential control is done in˚F even though ˚C is selected as your display choice.

OPERATION
Selecting Auto Changeover
You may wish to set your thermostat so it will automatically choose between the HEAT or COOL programs for proper temperature control. This program feature is referred to as the AUTO (Auto Changeover) mode of system operation.
While in AUTO mode, the thermostat will constantly monitor the room temperature to determine whether to run the HEAT or COOL program to maintain comfort. To operate properly, the thermostat requires a "dead band" setting to eliminate program conflicts. The standard "dead band" setting is 3˚ between the highest HEAT temperature setting and the lowest COOL temperature setting for a given setpoint period. (There is an optional 5˚ "dead band" setting available. See "CHANGING DIP SWITCH SETTINGS.")
For example, if the highest HEAT temperature setting for the MORN setpoint is 72˚, then the lowest COOL temperature setting for a 3˚ "dead band" would be 75˚. The thermostat will emit a short "beep" if the user attempts to enter a temperature setting while in the HEAT or COOL program which would violate the established "dead band".
If you are in PROGRAM mode (PROG/MAN) and you have selected AUTO using the SYSTEM button, the thermostat will constantly compare the current room temperature to the current setpoint (MORN, DAY, EVE, NIGHT) temperature settings for the HEAT and COOL programs and choose which program is appropriate, for example:
75˚
Lowest cool setting

If your room temperature rises above the COOL setpoint programmed temperature setting, the thermostat will activate the COOL program. If the temperature continues to increase, the thermostat will turn on the COOL mode and COOL will slowly flash in the display, indicating that it is in operation. When the room temperature decreases to meet the COOL program setpoint temperature, the thermostat will stop the cooling system. COOL will be indicated in the display as active, but will not flash.
If the room temperature decreases below the HEAT setpoint programmed temperature setting, the thermostat will activate the HEAT program. If the temperature continues to decrease, the thermostat will turn on the heating system and HEAT will slowly flash in the display. This indicates that the heating system is currently in operation. When the room temperature increases to meet the HEAT program setpoint temperature, the thermostat will stop the heating system. HEAT will be indicated in the display as active, but will not flash.
NOTE: AUTO (Auto Changeover) operation can only be selected using the SYSTEM button while in PROGRAM mode. If the AUTO program feature is not functioning properly, see "CHANGING DIP SWITCH SETTINGS" to make sure AUTO CHANGEOVER was selected during installation.
NOTE: To change your current dead band setting, you must change a dip switch located on the back of the thermostat. See “CHANGING DIP SWITCH SETTINGS” section to change the dead band setting to either 3˚ or 5˚. Changing a dip switch setting will require resetting the thermostat to register the new selection. This will erase previously entered program.

OPERATION
24V AC Circuit Power Monitor
If you experience a loss of power, this thermostat will indicate “-AC” in the time field of the LCD display. This means that your system’s 24 V AC circuit is not receiving power or is not functioning correctly. The back-up batteries provided in this thermostat will maintain the programming during the loss of power, however, the thermostat requires 24V AC power and a functioning system for proper control.
LED Indicators
There are three LED indicators located on the front of your Robert Shaw thermostat. They are designed to inform you of the following:
AUX (GREEN): This turns on when the auxiliary (also called back-up) heating is in
CHECK (RED): When this turns on, a malfunction has occurred somewhere in the heat
EMER (RED): This light turns on whenever the emergency heat is manually selected
operation. This is the second (non-economy) stage of heat.
pump system. Please contact a qualified service technician as soon as possible to check your system.
(system is in the EMER mode). While in the emergency heat mode, the heat pump compressor is off, and the emergency heat (same as the auxiliary heat) maintains the setpoint temperature.

CHANGING DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
Thermostat functions are determined by settings on two sets of dip switches: "SWITCH 1" and "SWITCH 2". These dip switches are pre-set at installation. However, some users may want to change some of the dip switch settings on SWITCH 2 to enable or change certain thermostat options.
Figure 3 shows the location of the dip switches. Figure 4 shows a close-up of the dip switches. Dip switches marked with an asterisk (*) should not be changed by the user. These are pre-set at time of installation by the installer and must only be changed by a certified contractor familiar with heating and air conditioning systems. Change only the dip switches necessary for options programming.

IMPORTANT: New dip switch settings for “Switch 2” will not register or operate options until the RESET button is pressed.
REPLACING THE BACK-UP BATTERIES
This thermostat is 24V AC powered and requires connection to both sides of transformer for proper operation. It also requires four charged "AA" ENERGIZER brand batteries or equivalent alkaline batteries as a back-up power source should the 24V AC circuit be interrupted temporarily due to a power outage. The battery back-up will maintain all program information during power outages.
This thermostat has two levels of low battery indication. As the back-up batteries weaken, the thermostat will go to the next stage of low battery indication.
Low Battery—Stage 1
“LO BATT” stays constant on the display. Replace batteries soon. Display and thermostat functions normal.
Low Battery—Stage 2
“LO BATT” stays constant on the display and thermostat “beeps” about once a minute. Replace batteries immediately. Display and thermostat functions normal.

Replacing The Back-Up Batteries:
CAUTION: Installing batteries backwards can damage
thermostat.
NOTE: Replace batteries with four “AA” alkaline batteries only.
1. Press SYSTEM button until "OFF" appears in the time field on the display.
2. Remove thermostat from wiring subbase. (See “REMOVING THERMOSTAT FROM SUBBASE” for more information.)
3. Turn thermostat over. Locate battery compartment.
NOTE: Replace all four batteries at the same time. The thermostat will “hold” all programmed information for about 30 seconds without battery power. If 30 seconds elapse before batteries are replaced, the program will be lost.
4. Replace all batteries with four new “AA” alkaline batteries. Be sure the positive (+) ends of the batteries match the positive terminals in the battery compartment.
5. Replace thermostat onto wiring subbase.
6. Press SYSTEM button until HEAT or COOL shows on the right side of the display.
