NOTE:  This thermostat is designed for use with 24 Volt AC low voltage single-stage gas, oil or electric heating or cooling systems, including single-stage heat pumps. This thermostat can also be used on 250mv to 750mv millivolt heating-only systems. Do not use this thermostat on applications with voltages above 30 Volts AC.

Installing Your New Thermostat
NOTE:  When installing this thermostat in a new location, following a few simple guidelines and the applicable building codes will give the best results. Install the thermostat in a location that provides good airflow by avoiding areas behind doors, near corners, air vents, direct sunlight or heat- generating devices. The wiring must conform to all building codes and ordinances as required by local and national code authorities having jurisdiction for this installation.

1. Always turn off the power to the air conditioning and heating system prior to installing this thermostat.
2. Locate the release latch on the bottom (not the back) of the thermostat. Press the release latch in and separate the body from the sub-base of the thermostat.
3. Set the thermostat electronics and cover them down on a clean surface. Place the sub-base on the wall in the desired location.
4. Using the slotted mounting holes in the sub-base, mark the placement of the mounting holes through the slots and onto the wall. Insure the wires come out of the wall into the center hole of the sub-base.
5. After verifying the drill will not damage items in the wall, use a 3/16 drill to create the mounting holes. Gently tap the supplied plastic anchors into the holes in the wall.
6. Place the thermostat sub-base against the wall in the desired location. Ensure the thermostat is level, the wires are inserted in the opening, and the mounting holes are aligned with the slots on the sub-base.
7. Fasten the sub-base to the wall using the supplied screws into the plastic wall anchors.
8. Connect wires to the quick wiring terminal blocks. Use the wiring diagram chart to insure the old and new connections are correct.
9. To prevent electrical shorts and potential damage to the thermostat, make sure all wire connections are secure and not touching each other.
10. Turn the thermostat body over, exposing the rear view of the circuit board.
11. Locate the internal °F / °C switch on the circuit board. Using your fingers, flip the switch toward the preferred temperature °F / °C scale.
12. Locate the internal fan option switch, HG (Gas) / HE (Elec) on the circuit board. This switch controls the heating system fan delay. Select gas for gas or oil-fired systems. This will allow the furnace to run for a few seconds before starting the fan. Select electric for systems with electric furnace elements that require the fan to come on immediately. Using your finger, flip the switch toward the HG (Gas) or HE (Elec).
13. Locate the internal NORM HP switch on the circuit board. This switch configures the thermostat for normal (NORM) heating and cooling systems or heat pump (HP) systems. Using your fingers, flip the switch toward the NORM or HP.
14. Locate the internal programming switch on the circuit board. This switch configures the programming mode for either 5-2 DAY (weekday-weekend), or full 7 DAY programming. Using your finger, gently flip the switch toward the programming option that best suits your schedule.
15. Ensure the cover is still installed on the thermostat body, and install the unit onto the sub-base. To do so, use the mounting tabs on the top of the sub-base as a guide hinge, and close up the thermostat case by pivoting the body and cover closed. The latch on the bottom of the thermostat will click when the case is properly closed.
16. Flip the front thermostat cover open and open the battery compartment door. (continued on page 3 continued from page 2)

Additional Operation Features

Filter Check Monitor (see section 4)

The Filter Check Monitor displays a reminder for required filter replacement or cleaning by flashing the FILT segment in the display. See instructions on your filter or heating/cooling unit for recommendations for interval settings. When the selected interval has been reached and required cleaning or replacement has been performed, press the RETURN button in any normal mode to reset the timer and turn off the warning.

Locking the Keypad

To prevent accidental or undesired adjustment of the thermostat, the Keypad The Lockout feature disables the operation of the keypad except for the backlight key. I  order to lock the keypad, press and hold both buttons together at the same time for 5 seconds. The LOCK segment in the display will flash once per second and then appear continuously in the display. The keypad is now locked. To unlock the keypad, press and hold the buttons together at the same time for 1 second. The LOCK segment will disappear and the keypad will become unlocked.

Adaptive Recovery Mode (ARM™) (see section 4)
In order to maximize comfort and energy efficiency, this thermostat is equipped with an Adaptive Recovery Mode (ARM™). This feature minimizes the amount of time required by the heating or cooling system to reach the new set point after a setback period is completed and assures your desired temperature is achieved at your set program times. This feature activates when recovering room temperature from setback programs to comfort programs, so it will only take place when the current (heating) program set point temperature is lower than the upcoming program set point temperature, or the current (cooling) program set point temperature is higher then the upcoming program set the point temperature. During ARM™, room temperature is recovered gradually by turning on the heating or cooling before the end of the setback period. The set point temperature is changed to that of the upcoming comfort program temperature. The start time of recovery is based on the difference between the current room temperature and the upcoming comfort program set point temperature. The recovery to the upcoming set point starts 10 to 15 minutes before the upcoming set point time for each degree of temperature change required, up to a maximum of 2 hours in the HEAT mode, 3 hours in the COOL mode. ARM™ does not operate when the unit is in HOLD mode, or if the program is temporarily overridden

Circulating Fan Mode–Fan Operation

• AUTO: The fan operates as required by the heating or cooling system.
• When heating or cooling is not active, the fan will run as needed to ensure
• 35% minimum run time.
• ON: Fan will run at all time

Compressor Protection

This thermostat includes an automatic compressor protection feature to avoid potential damage to the cooling system from short cycling. This thermostat automatically provides a 5-minute delay after turning off the cooling system output to protect the compressor. This protection is also present in the heat mode of operation on single-stage heat pump systems to protect the compressor.
NOTE:  The installer can reset the thermostat and bypass the compressor protection features by pressing the RESET button. This will erase all entered programs, the current time of day, day of the week, and other user settings and should only be used during installation for testing purposes or to reset a thermostat to regain normal operation. This will return all thermostat settings to their default values.

Low Battery Detection
This thermostat requires two (2) new, properly installed “AA” Alkaline batteries to maintain the system clock and to provide proper thermostat power when 24-volt AC power fails or is not connected to the thermostat. When the batteries start to become too weak to provide proper operation, the thermostat will begin to display a low battery indicator. The low battery indicator is provided to inform the user when the batteries require immediate attention. We recommend replacing the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator appears. If the batteries are not replaced after the low battery indicator first appears the thermostat may not provide proper heating or cooling system operation. Even if the low battery indicator does not appear, the batteries should be replaced at least once a year, or if you plan on leaving the premises for over a month. This thermostat can be powered by 24 volts AC or battery power. To determine if 24-volt AC power is connected to the thermostat, refer to the installation and wiring diagram section. If you cannot determine how this thermostat is powered, call a professional service technician to determine the type of installation and the proper operation of your system.

Resetting the Thermostat
The Reset feature allows the user to completely reset the thermostat to register new manual switch settings. To erase all entered programs, the current time of day, the day of the week, and other user settings, gently press the RESET button using a paper clip or a small pencil tip. This will return all thermostat settings to their default values and register all new manual switch settings for proper operation. Non-Volatile Memory In the event of a power failure, the Non-Volatile Memory feature allows all settings to be recovered, eliminating the need to reset the temperature and differential settings. When AC power is restored after an outage, all settings are retrieved from memory and reinstated.

Status Indicators
HEAT: This will turn on whenever the system switch is in HEAT mode.
“HEAT” will flash when the heating system is running.
COOL: This will turn on whenever the system switch is in cool mode.
“COOL” will flash when the cooling system is running.
