Features of your VisionPRO Thermostat

With your new thermostat, you can:

• Connect to the internet to monitor and control your heating/cooling system and receive alerts by email (requires optional RedLINK Internet Gateway)
• View outdoor temperature and humidity (requires optional Wireless Outdoor Sensor)
• Control humidification, dehumidifcation or ventilation (TH8321 model)

Your new thermostat also provides:

• Adaptive Intelligent Recovery-over time, the VisionPRO thermostat “learns” how long it takes your system to reach the temperature you want. It turns on the heating or cooling system earlier to make sure you’re comfortable at the time you expect.
• Dealer information on the screen-making it easy for you to contact your dealer for service.
• Vacation and holiday scheduling-allowing you to program a setback temperature to save energy while you are away.
• Keypad lockout to prevent unauthorized changes.
• Equipment status-provides on/off status of all equipment controlled by the thermostat.
• Preferences-allowing you to customize the thermostat to your desired settings.

Adaptive Intelligent Recovery (residential use only)-Over time, the VisionPRO thermostat “learns” how long it takes your system to reach the temperature
you want. It turns on the heating or cooling system earlier to make sure you’re comfortable at the time you expect. The thermostat displays “In Recovery” when it turns the system on early.

Temperature and humidity will be kept at levels that protect your home and possessions. When you return, touch Cancel to resume normal operation.
Compressor Protection-The thermostat keeps the compressor off for a few minutes before restarting, to prevent equipment damage. During this “off” time, the message “Wait” is displayed on screen.
Pre-occupancy Purge (commercial use only)-This feature turns on the fan 1 to 3 hours before each “occupied” time period, to provide a comfortable work environment when you arrive.

Installer options
Installer options require a password and should only be changed by a qualified technician.
To prevent unintended changes or damage to your equipment, do not change these options yourself.

Replacing Thermostat Batteries

Install fresh batteries when the REPLACE BATTERIES warning begins flashing. The warning flashes about 60 days before batteries are depleted.
Even if the warning does not appear, it is recommended to replace batteries once a year, or before leaving home for more than a month.

Press the release button on top of the thermostat to remove it from the wall plate. Install 4 fresh AA alkaline batteries.

Replacing Outdoor Sensor Batteries
Replace batteries in your outdoor sensor when a warning appears on the thermostat screen, about 60 days before batteries are depleted.

To replace the batteries:

1. Remove the sensor from the bracket.
2. Detach cover.
3. Install 2 fresh AA lithium batteries.
4. Replace cover and set sensor back into bracket.

The outdoor sensor will restore communication with the thermostat a few seconds after new batteries are installed.

Replacing Indoor Sensor Batteries
Replace batteries in your indoor sensor when a warning appears on the thermostat screen, about 60 days before batteries are depleted. When the sensor status light begins flashing red, battery power is critically low and will be depleted within 2-3 weeks. During normal operation, the status light remains off.

To replace the batteries:

1. Remove the sensor from wallplate.
2. Install 2 fresh AAA alkaline batteries. If the status light flashes green, batteries are good; if it flashes red, you must use fresh batteries.
3. Attach sensor to wallplate.

The sensor will restore communication with the thermostat a few seconds after new batteries are installed.

Using the Temperature Display
In some circumstances, the temperature displayed on the Home screen may not match the temperature near the thermostat. If your system is set up to use remote indoor sensors, it may be reading a sensor in another location.

Using the Humidity Display
In some circumstances, the humidity displayed on the Home screen may not match humidity near the thermostat.
Some systems are set up to use two sensors, one to control humidification, the other for dehumidification. These sensors are often installed in different locations.
Depending on how your thermostat was installed, the thermostat Home screen will display humidity readings from only one sensor.

Optional Accessories

Portable Comfort Control
If you have only one thermostat, you move this remote control from room to room (like a portable thermostat), to make sure the temperature is comfortable in the room you’re using. If you have multiple thermostats, you can view and adjust the temperature in each room from your armchair.

Wireless Outdoor Sensor
With a wireless outdoor sensor, your VisionPRO thermostat can display outside temperature and humidity. This information can also be displayed on your handheld Portable Comfort Control.

Wireless Indoor Sensor
If an indoor sensor is installed, your VisionPRO thermostat will respond to temperature and humidity readings at the sensor location-providing comfort where the sensor is located. With multiple sensors, the thermostat can average temperature readings from each, to optimize comfort throughout your home.

RedLINK™ Internet Gateway
The Honeywell RedLINK Internet Gateway gives you remote access to your VisionPRO thermostat from the web, smart phone or tablet. You can view or adjust indoor temperature, system mode and other settings. The Gateway can also send alerts to as many as 6 email addresses to notify you if a problem occurs.

Wireless Entry/Exit Remote
This device mounts beside your door for one-touch control. Press AWAY to control to an energy saving temperature when you leave home. Press HOME to control to a comfortable temperature when you return. To change pre-set temperatures, go to MENU > Entry/Exit Remote.

Wireless Vent and Filter Boost Remote
This device mounts anywhere in your home (typically bathroom or kitchen) for convenient, on-demand ventilation. For increased ventilation, select 20, 40, or 60 minutes.
