DESCRiPTiON

Your new Digital Thermostat uses the technology of asolid-state
microcomputer to provide precise temperature control.

Features:

• Simultaneous heat and cool setpoint storage

• Pre-set temperature control

• Backtit display

• LCD continuously displays setpoint and room temperature

• °F/°C convertibility

This thermostat is intended for use with a tow voltage system;
do not use this thermostat with a line voltage system. If in doubt

about whether your wiring is mitlivolt, line, or low voltage, have
it inspected by a qualified heating and air conditioning contrac-

tor or electrician.
Do not exceed the specification ratings.
All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes

and ordinances.
This control is a precision instrument, and should be handled

carefully. Rough handling or distorting components could
cause the control to malfunction.

To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage,
disconnect electric power to system at main fuse or
circuit breaker box until installation is complete.

may replace a unit which contains mercury.

Do not open mercury cells. If a cell becomes damaged, do not
touch any spilled mercury. Wearing nonabsorbent gloves, take

up the spilled mercury with sand or other absorbent material and
place into a container which can be sealed. If a celt becomes
damaged, the unit should be discarded.

Mercury must not be discarded in household trash. When the
unit this product is replacing is to be discarded, place in a
suitable container and return to White-Rodgers at 2895 Harrison
Street, Batesvitle, AR 72501-2117 for proper disposal.

ELECTRIC HEAT OR SINGLE-STAGE

HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS

This thermostat is configured from the factory to operate a heat/
cool, fossil fuel (gas, oil, etc.), forced air system. It is configured

correctly for any system that DOES NOT require the thermostat
to energize the fan on a call for heat. If your system is an electric
heat or heat-pump system that REQUIRES the thermostat to
turn on the fan on a call for heat, locate the GAS/ELECTRIC
switch on the back of the thermostat (see fig. 1)and switch it to

the ELECTRIC position. This will allow the thermostat to ener-
gize the fan immediately on acall for heat. Ifyou are unsure ifthe
heating/cooling system requires the thermostat to control the
fan, contact a qualified heating and air conditioning service
person.

ATTACH THERMOSTAT BASE TO WALL

1. Remove the packing material from the thermostat. Gently pull the
coverstraight offthe base. Forcing orprying onthe thermostatwill
cause damage to the unit. If necessary, move the electric heat

switch (see ELECTRIC HEAT SYSTEMS, above).

2. Connect wires beneath terminal screws on base using
appropriate wiring schematic (see figs. 2 through 7).

3. Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole
locations on wall using base as a template.

4. Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes.

5. Fasten base loosely to wall, as shown in fig. 1, using two
mounting screws. Place a level against bottom of base,
adjust until level, and then tighten screws. (Leveling is for
appearance only and will not affect thermostat operation.) If

you are using existing mounting holes, or if holes drilled are
too large and do not allow you to tighten base snugly, use

plastic screw anchors to secure subbase.

BATTERY LOCATION

2 "AA" alkaline batteries are included in the thermostat at the
factory with a battery tag to prevent power drainage. You must

remove the battery tag to engage the batteries.
If "LO BATTERY" is displayed, the batteries are tow and

should be replaced. For best results, replace all batteries with
new premium brand alkaline batteries such as Duracetl ® or

EnergizeP. To replace batteries, install the batteries along the
top of the base (see Fig. 1). The batteries must be installed with
the positive (+) end to the left.

HYDRONIC (HOT WATER OR STEAM)

HEATING SYSTEMS

This thermostat is set to operate properly with a forced-air
heating system. Ifyou have a hydronic heating system (a system
that heats with hot water or steam), you must set the thermostat
to operate properly with your system. Change the second option

in the configuration menu to SL (see CONFIGURATION MENU,
page 4).

CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION

If at any time during testing your system does not operate
properly, contact a qualified service person.

Turn on power to the system.

Fan Operation

If your system does not have a G terminal connection, skip to
Heating System.

1. Move FAN switch to ON position. The blower should begin

to operate.

2. Move FAN switch to AUTO position. The blower should stop
immediately.

2) Select FA or SL (Fast or Slow) Heating Cycle Rate - The
FA setting is frequently used for gas, oil or electric heat. The

SL setting produces a longer heating cycle which is nor-

mally for hot water or steam (hydronic) systems. Both

settings produce very accurate temperature control and
can be set to your personal preference. FA cycles the

system just under I°F and the SL setting cycles at approxi-

mately 1.5°F.

3) Select Display Backlight (d-L OFF or ON) - The display

backtight improves display contrast in low lighting condi-
tions. Selecting backlight ON will keep the light on for a

short period of time after any key is pressed. Selecting OFF
wilt keep the light off.

4) Select filter replacement run time - The thermostat will

display "FILTER" after the selected time of operation. This

is a reminder to change or clean your air filter. This time

can be set from 0 to 1950 hours in 50 hour increments.
A selection of 000 will cancel this feature. When

"FILTER" is displayed, you can clear it by pressing (_
and (_ at the same time. This resets the timer and starts

counting the hours until the next filter change.

5) Select Compressor Lockout (LOC OFF or ON) - Select-
ing LOC ON will cause the thermostat to wait 5 minutes

before turning on the compressor if the heating and cooling
system loses power. It wilt also wait 5 minutes minimum

between cooling cycles. This is intended to help protect the
compressor from short cycling. Some newer compressors
already have a time delay built in and do not require this
feature. Your compressor manufacturer can tell you if the

feature is already present in their system. When the com-
pressor time delay occurs it will flash the (snowflake icon)
for about five minutes then turn on the compressor.

6) Select Temperature Display Adjustment (4 LO to 4 Hi) -

Allows you to adjust the room temperature display 4° higher
or lower. Your thermostat was accurately calibrated at the

factory but you have the option to change the display
temperature to match your previous thermostat.

7) Select Temperature Display (°F or °C) - Changes the

display readout to Celsius or Fahrenheit as required.

OPERATING FEATURES

SETTING THE THERMOSTAT

This thermostat isvery easy to operate. Set the SYSTEM switch
to either HEAT or COOL then press (_ or (_ until the

temperature you want to maintain is shown on the right side of
the display. If you want to turn the system off, just move the

SYSTEM switch to OFF.
The FAN switch controls the fan operation. When the FAN

switch is set to AUTO, the fan will cycle with the furnace or air
conditioner. When the FAN switch is set to ON, the fan will run
continuously, regardless of SYSTEM switch position.

TROUBLESHOOTING

No Heating
With the SYSTEM switch set to HEAT, when the setpoint

temperature is raised or lowered past the room temperature,
the thermostat will make a soft click sound. Usually, the sound
indicates the thermostat is operating correctly. If the system
does not come on, check the system or contact your heating/
cooling service person. If the thermostat does not click try the

Reset Operation listed below.
No Cooling

Same procedure as heating except set SYSTEM switch to
COOL. There can be up to a 5minute compressor lock-out time

delay before the thermostat clicks in COOL.
Blank Display

A blank digital display usually indicates the thermostat has
received a voltage spike, static discharge or requires new
batteries, If the display remains blank after replacing the
batteries, see Reset Operation below,

Reset Operation
If a voltage spike or static discharge blanks out the display or
causes erratic thermostat operation you can reset the thermo-

stat by pressing (_, (:_ and move the SYSTEM switch from
OFF to HEAT at the same time. This also resets the factory
defaults to the configuration menu. If the thermostat has
power, has been reset and still does not function correctly

contact your heating/cooling service person or place of pur-
chase.

Now that you are familiar with the thermostat buttons and
display, read the following information to learn about the many

features of the thermostat.

• SIMULTANEOUS HEATING/COOLING SETPOINT
STORAGE-- You can enter both your heating and cooling

set points atthe same time. There is no need to change the
thermostat at the beginning of each season.

• CONFIGURATION MENU -- Allows you to customize
certain thermostat options.
