Your new White-Rodgers 7-Day Digital Thermostat uses the
technology of a solid-state microcomputer to provide precise
time/temperature control. This thermostat offers you the flexibil­ity to design heating and cooling programs that fit your needs.

Features:Features:

Features:

Features:Features:

• Separate program for each day of the week with four separate
time/temperature periods per day

• Simultaneous heat and cool program storage

• Preprogrammed temperature control

• Backlit display

• LCD continuously displays setpoint, and alternately dis­plays time and room temperature

This thermostat is intended for use with a low voltage system; do
not use this thermostat with a line voltage system. If in doubt
about whether your wiring is millivolt, line, or low voltage, have
it inspected by a qualified heating and air conditioning contractor
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.

This product does not contain mercury. However, this product
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 cell 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, Batesville, AR 72501 for proper disposal.

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
switch switch

switch on the back of the thermostat (see fig. 1) and switch it to

energize the fan immediately on a call for heat. If you are unsure
if the heating/cooling system requires the thermostat to control
the fan, contact a qualified heating and air conditioning service
person.

1. Remove the packing material from the thermostat. Gently

pull the cover straight off the base. Forcing or prying on the
thermostat will cause damage to the unit. If necessary, move
the electric heat switch (see
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.

This thermostat is set to operate properly with a forced-air
heating system. If you 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).
