Setting the Temperature For Heating

• Set the left lever (blue mark) to the energy saving temperature you want when you are sleeping or your home is unoccupied.
• Set the right lever (red mark) to the temperature you want for normal comfort periods.
  NOTE: You may override the time program by setting both the red and blue levers to the same temperature setpoint.

For Cooling:

• Set the left lever (blue mark) to the tempera-ture you want for normal comfort periods.
• Set the right lever (red mark) to the energy saving temperature you want when you are sleeping or your home is unoccupied.

Inserting Timer Batteries
Power is supplied to the timer by the 24 Vac transformer, by two AAA alkaline batteries (included), or by the heating or cooling control circuit. Backup batteries may be installed to supply power to the timer if power is interrupted when using a 24 Vac powering method. Install batteries in thermostat as shown in Fig. 2. Once a year or when batteries are dead, replace with two new AAA alkaline batteries. We recommend Energizer® batteries. Properly dispose of old batteries.

Setting the Timer

• Lift thermostat flip-up cover and you’ll find the 24-hour program dial, slotted in 10-minute increments. Adjust the timer to the current time by carefully turning the knob clockwise . DO NOT reverse the knob.
• When time is correctly set, the time indicator arrow (triangle shape) will point to the correct time and corresponding daytime (light) or night-time (dark) band of the program dial. See Fig. 3

Example: For 11 PM, the time indicator arrow will point directly to the dark band. For 11 AM, the arrow will point to the light band.

Daylight Saving Time
When Daylight Saving Time starts, move the knob carefully in a clockwise direction one hour. When Daylight Saving Time ends, move the knob carefully in a clockwise direction 23 hours. Do NOT reverse the knob, or damage to timer mechanism may occur.

Programming

You can program your thermostat to automati-cally lower and raise the temperature one or more times every 24 hours, depending on the number of program pins used.

Before setting your program
Notice the slots on the program dial (Fig. 4). The dial is slotted for the program pins that can be inserted at 10-minute intervals.

• Lift thermostat flip-up cover and you will find the 24-hour program dial. The slots on the program dial (Fig. 4) are for the program pins that can be inserted at 10-minute intervals.

• Three red and three blue program pins are included with your thermostat. The red pins start the high-temperature period; the blue pins start the low-temperature period. A heating program has been preprogrammed. A red pin is inserted at 6:00 AM for high temperature (comfort period); a blue pin is inserted at 10:00 PM for low temperature
  (energy saving period). Two additional sets of pins are located in the program pin storage area. You can set up to six temperature changes with the pins supplied. We recom-mend at least five hours for each energy saving period.

• To change the pins or add a new energy savings period:

  • To insert a pin, push it straight into the selected notch on the program dial until it is completely seated.
  • To remove a pin, press against the program dial and pull the pin straight out. DO NOT attempt to change a pin if it is engaged with the program index wheel.
  • On heating/cooling systems, set the subbase switches to desired positions. See Setting Subbase Switches section.
  • On heating/cooling systems, you must reset the pins when the seasons change. You will also probably want to change the lever positions.

To set the heating program:

• Decide when you want the temperature to reach the comfort level. Find the notch on the dial that is one-half hour before this time and insert a red pin. The high temperature is in effect. The half-hour head start gives the furnace time to heat the house before you awaken or arrive home.
• Decide when you want the energy saving period to start and insert a blue pin at the notch that corresponds to this time. After the blue pin engages, the low temperature is in effect. The furnace will be off until room temperature drops to the energy saving setpoint.
• You can set both a day and a night program. See Fig. 5 for program examples.

To set the cooling program:

• Decide when you want the temperature to reach the comfort level. Find the notch on the dial that is one-half hour before this time and insert a blue pin. The low temperature is in effect. The half-hour head start gives the air conditioner time to cool the house before you awaken or arrive home.
• Decide when you want the energy saving period to start and insert a red pin at the notch that corresponds to this time. After the red pin engages, the high temperature is in effect. The air conditioner will be off until the room temperature rises to the energy saving setpoint.

Setting Subbase Switches

(if applicable)

The subbase system switch controls system operation as follows:

• HEAT— Heating system is controlled by the thermostat. Cooling system is off.
• COOL— Cooling system is controlled by the thermostat. Heating system is off.
• OFF— Both the heating and cooling systems are off. If the fan switch is at the AUTO position, the fan is also off.
• ON— In cooling-only applications, only cooling will operate. In heating-only applications, only heating will operate.

The subbase fan switch controls fan opera-tion as follows:

• ON— Fan operates continuously.
• AUTO— Fan operates with cooling equipment as controlled by the thermostat or with the heating equipment as controlled by the plenum fan switch. In electric heat, heat pump and fan coil systems, the fan is controlled by the thermostat in heating and cooling.
• To switch positions, use thumb or index finger to slide the lever to the desired position. For proper circuit operation, switch lever must stop in detent over desired function indicator mark.

Servicing the Thermostat

Cycle Rate Adjustment
The equipment should cycle on and off just enough to keep the room temperature close to the temperature lever settings. If the thermostat seems to cycle the heating system too fast or too slow, adjust the cycle rate by moving the anticipator setting lever one indicator mark at a time (Fig. 6). Observe the heating system operation after each adjustment.
NOTE: Most hot water systems require a setting of 1.2A.

Thermometer Adjustment
The thermometer was accurately calibrated at the factory and should only need adjustment if it has been dropped or mishandled. If the setpoint lever and the thermometer reading do not agree, follow the procedure below. Remove thermostat cover and open the flip-up cover. Set the thermostat cover on a table near a thermometer of known accuracy. Allow at least five minutes for cover thermometer to sense area temperature; then compare the readings. Be careful not to touch the thermometer or breathe on it.
If the readings are the same, replace the cover and put the system into operation. If the readings are different, insert a small screwdriver in the thermometer slot, shown in Fig. 7, and turn it until both thermometers read the same. Replace thermostat cover and put the system into operation.
