Operation Instructions
Initial Setup
1. Insert Batteries: Install 2 AA alkaline batteries in the rear compartment. Replace when the battery indicator shows low (approximately every 2 years).
2. Power On: If hardwired, ensure 20-30 VAC is supplied via the C terminal. The display should show the home screen.
3. Configure System:
- Press and hold MENU for 8 seconds to access INSTALLER MENU.
- Select system type (e.g., Conventional, Heat Pump), fan settings (Auto, On), and other options like compressor delay (item 50) or emergency heat (item 15).
- Exit by pressing RUN or waiting for the display to return to normal.
Setting the Clock and Day
1. Press MENU, then select Settings.
2. Use Next/Back to navigate to SET TIME, adjust hours and minutes with up/down arrows.
3. Navigate to SET DAY and select the current day.
4. Press RUN to save and exit.
Operating in Non-Programmable Mode
1. Select Mode: Press SYSTEM to choose HEAT, COOL, AUTO, AUX (for heat pumps), or OFF.
2. Adjust Temperature: Press up/down arrows to set the desired temperature.
3. Fan Control: Press FAN to select AUTO (runs with heating/cooling) or ON (continuous).
4. Manual Override: Press HOLD to set a constant temperature, bypassing any schedule until RUN is pressed.
Operating in Programmable Mode
1. Factory Schedule: Pre-programmed with energy-saving settings (e.g., Heat: 70°F day, 62°F night; Cool: 78°F day, 82°F night). Press RUN to use defaults.
2. Custom Schedule:
- Press MENU, then Program, and select HEAT or COOL.
- Choose 7-day or 5+1+1 programming.
- Set times/temperatures for Wake, Leave, Return, Sleep periods.
- Save by pressing SET or RUN.
3.
Temporary Override: Adjust temperature with up/down arrows; it holds until the next period.
4.
Permanent Hold: Press HOLD to maintain a set temperature until RUN is pressed.
5.
Disable Programming: In INSTALLER MENU, set item 01 to 0 (non-programmable).
Advanced Features
1. Vacation Mode: Press MENU, select Program, scroll to Vacation, set start/end dates and temperature.
2. Filter Change Reminder: Alerts when filter replacement is needed; reset in USER MENU.
3. Keypad Lockout: Enable in INSTALLER MENU to restrict access; unlock by pressing MENU and RUN simultaneously for 8 seconds.
4. Compressor Protection: Automatically delays compressor restart (up to 5 minutes) to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
- No Display: Check battery polarity or replace batteries. Verify C wire connection for hardwired setups. Reset by removing batteries for 2 minutes.
- No Heat/Cool: Ensure SYSTEM is set to HEAT/COOL, setpoint is above/below room temperature, and circuit breaker is on. Check for compressor delay (up to 5 minutes).
- Fan Runs Continuously: Set FAN to AUTO. Verify SYSTEM is not in AUTO mode if only heating or cooling is desired.
- Inaccurate Temperature: In USER MENU, select Calibrate Temperature and adjust using a separate thermometer. Relocate thermostat if near drafts/heat sources.
- Thermostat Locked: Press MENU and RUN together for 8 seconds to unlock.
Installation Instructions
Warning: Thermostat installation and all components shall conform to Class II circuits per the NEC code.
Remove Old Thermostat
- Mark wires for terminal identification before removing to ensure correct connections to the new thermostat.
Installing New Thermostat
- Pull the thermostat body off the base. Do not force or pry to avoid damage.
- Place base over the hole in the wall and mark mounting hole locations using the base as a template.
- Move base out of the way and drill mounting holes. Use plastic screw anchors if needed.
- Fasten base snugly to the wall using mounting holes and two screws. Leveling is for appearance only.
- Connect wires to the terminal block using the appropriate wiring schematic (see Wiring section).
- Push excess wire into the wall and plug the hole with fire-resistant material (e.g., fiberglass insulation) to prevent drafts.
- Snap the thermostat onto the base carefully.
Battery Location
- Install 2 AA alkaline batteries in the rear compartment along the top. Remove the battery tag to engage batteries.
- Replace batteries when low indicator appears or before leaving the home unoccupied for over 3 months.
Wiring and Terminal Functions
Refer to the equipment manufacturer’s instructions for specific wiring. The following table describes typical terminal functions:
Terminal | Function |
RC | Cooling power (24 VAC); jumper to RH not required |
RH | Heating power (24 VAC); jumper to RC not required |
C | Common wire for 24 VAC power from transformer |
Y | Compressor contactor (cooling, stage 1) |
Y2 | Compressor contactor (cooling, stage 2, if applicable) |
W/E | Heat relay (stage 1) or emergency heat (heat pump) |
W2 | Heat relay (stage 2) or auxiliary heat (heat pump) |
G | Fan relay |
O/B | Heat pump changeover valve (O: cool, B: heat) |
Note: Wiring changes for dedicated emergency heat (see INSTALLER MENU item 15). Do not exceed specified voltage ratings.
