SWING (HVAC cycling rate) This feature allows you to set the desired variance in temperature

between the CT100 setting and the room temperature required before the heating or cooling system
will turn on—from 0.5° to 2.0° F (.25° to 1° C). For example, if SWING is set to 2.0° F and the CT100
is set to 70°F Target Temperature, the heat cycle will start when room temperature drops to 68°F.
Similarly, the cooling system will start when the room temperature increases to 72°F. The HVAC then
runs and will shut off at the Target Temperature.
To set SWING:
Touch SWING.
Touch the left/right arrows to set the SWING from 0.5° to 2.0°F.
The HVAC will run more frequently at .5°F and less at 2°F. Default is 1°F.

CALIBRATE

Your thermostat was accurately calibrated at the factory to ±1° F of actual ambient
temperature. You do have the option, however, to change the display temperature to match that of a
previous thermostat, or to match another thermostat already in your home. The range of change is
from -6°F to +6°F or -3°C to +3°C.

To change your Thermostat Calibration, touch MENU and then touch CALIBRATE.

Use the + / - to adjust the displayed temperature up or down, as desired.
The DELTA FACTOR that appears on the screen will also automatically increase or decrease
for each 0.5° (F or C) adjustment so you can see your change. The large display will show the
modied temerature reading that will be displayed on the HOME screen and used as the new room

temperature.

PG 9

Touch to return to the Home screen.

DIFF (Used for 2 stage normal or heat pump with auxiliary only, not on screen for single stage)
The differential is the number of degrees between the room temperature and the Target Temperature
at which the 2nd stage will be used. Default is 2°F.
Touch MENU and then DIFF. Use the arrows to set the DIFF.
Recommend 2°F for very cold climates and the 4°F for warm climates.

MANUAL Screen Functions

The CT100 has 4 manual override commands. The manual screen is accessed by touching the large
current temperature display in the middle of the HOME screen.

IMPORTANT: The Mode must be in HEAT or COOL to access the manual screen.

TEMPORARY override Touch the + / - arrows to select your desired temporary Target Temperature.

Touch HOME to return to operation. The TEMPORARY icon will display indicating you have modied
the Target Temperature for the current Time Slot only. It goes back to the program target at the next
period. Also, when in TEMPORARY, if the target is set the same as the programmed target for that
period, the word TEMPORARY will go out.

PG 10

HOLD

This will hold the target temperature you set indenitely, until you turn HOLD off. HOLD will allow
you to operate your thermostat as a manual thermostat. It will keep whatever temperature you set until
you change it or cancel hold. Take care using the HOLD function as the program is now bypassed. To set
a hold target temperature, touch HOLD and use the +/- icons to select your hold temperature. The HOLD
icon will display on the HOME screen indicating you have changed the Target Temperature. The system
will HOLD this temperature until you return to the manual screen and de-select HOLD by touching it. Hold
is also canceled when you set the mode to OFF.

HOLIDAY This is a single program that repeats day after day until you turn it off. It supersedes the
weekly program. To use it touch HOLIDAY on the temporary screen. The default holiday program is
shown below. To modify this program, touch the PROGRAM button and then touch the DAY area until
HOLIDAY appears (after SAT). The default HOLIDAY program is set as 2 time slots; all day (same
target MORN, DAY and EVEN) and a different target for NITE. [Default program: HEAT 70oF all day
and 62oF at night. COOL 78oF all day and 82oF at night.]

EMER (in HEAT PUMP type)

If you set your CT100 for HEAT PUMP with auxiliary heat, EMER function is available on the
MANUAL screen. If you touch EMER, it displays EMER|ON. Your HEAT PUMP is disabled and
auxiliary heat is your sole source of heat. This manual override stays active until you toggle EMER
off. Auxiliary heat is more expensive than the heat pump so use EMER only if the heat pump cannot
keep up or is defective.

PG 11

Other Functions

Save Energy Button

The “Save Energy” feature on the CT100 provides a simple, easy-to-use way to help you manage
your energy use. SAVE ENERGY automatically adjusts your Target Temperature up in COOL or
down in HEAT by 4oF. To use Save Energy, press the Save Energy button in the upper left corner
of the unit. The screen will now read “Save Energy”. To return to normal operation, press the “Save
Energy” button again. This is useful to save energy if you are gone for a short time.

MODE Button

The mode button sets the CT100 to HEAT COOL or OFF modes. Press it once to step to the next
mode. If the CT100 is in OFF and you want to return to the mode you were previously in, touch the

OFF indicator on screen.

FAN Button

The fan control is normally in AUTO mode, meaning that the fan operates automatically with the
HVAC system and the thermostat. When the fan button is pressed the fan goes ON; the fan will run
continuously in this manual override until switched back to AUTO by pressing the FAN button again.

[NOTE: Fan ON function is available in the OFF mode to allow simple ventilating.]
