IMPORTANT!
Thank you for your confidence in our product. To obtain the best results from your investment, please read these instructions and acquaint yourself with your purchase before installing your new thermostat. Then follow the installation procedures, one step at a time. This will save you time and minimize the chance of damaging the thermostat and the systems it controls. These instructions may contain information beyond that required for your particular installation. Please save it for future reference.

FEATURES

• The Unit can be used with most 24-volt gas, oil, or electric heating and air conditioning systems, single-stage heat pumps, or gas millivolt heating systems. It cannot be used with 120-volt heating systems or multistage heat pumps. Ask your dealer for other LUX thermostats to control those systems.
• The Unit is programmable. There are four programming periods per day. Each period can be programmed separately.
• You can use the built-in time/temperature programs, or alter them to suit your schedule. The Unit provides separate programming for every day of the week- for both heating and cooling. You can override the programmed temperatures for as little as one programming period or for an entire vacation.
• In cool weather, when the system switch is set to HEAT, the Unit will maintain cooler “set back” room temperatures to save energy. It will then change to warmer “comfort” settings — all automatically, at specified times during the day.
• In warm weather, when the system switch is set to COOL, the Unit will maintain warmer “set back” room temperatures to save energy. It will then change to cooler “comfort” settings – all automatically, at specified times during the day.
• A large liquid crystal display shows the time, day of the week, and room and set temperatures.
• It will remind you when the filter should be changed in your blower and track your system’s energy usage.
• Temperature swing adjustment lets you fine-tune your system for maximum comfort and economy.
• A 4-minute minimum on/off time in COOL prevents your air conditioning system from being damaged.
• Two Energizer® or DURACELL® “AA” alkaline batteries (not included) are used to retain your time and temperature programs.

CAUTION

• Your thermostat is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care.
• Turn off the electricity to the appliance before installing or servicing the thermostat or any part of the system. Do not turn the electricity back on until work is completed.
• Do not short (jumper) across electric terminals at the control on the furnace or air conditioner to test the system. This will damage the thermostat and void your warranty.
• All wiring must conform to local codes and ordinances.
• This thermostat is designed for use with 24-volt and millivolt systems. The thermostat should be limited to a maximum of 1.0 amps; higher amperage may cause damage to the thermostat. If you are in doubt, call your utility company

INSTALLATION

CAUTION
To avoid electrical shock and to prevent damage to the furnace, air conditioner, and thermostat, disconnect the power supply before beginning work. This can be done at the fuse box, at the circuit breaker, or at the appliance.

Please read this ENTIRE instruction manual carefully and completely before beginning your thermostat installation.

TOOLS REQUIRED

• Phillips screwdriver (small)
• Drill with 3/16-in. (4.8mm) bit

THERMOSTAT LOCATION
On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in place of the old one unless the conditions
listed below suggest otherwise. On new installations, follow the guidelines listed below.

1. Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor, and in a room that is used often.
2. Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as: in direct sunlight; near a lamp, radio, television, radiator, register, or fireplace; near hot water pipes in a wall; near a stove on the other side of a wall.
3. Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as: on a wall separating an unheated room; or in a draft from a stairwell, door, or window.
4. Do not locate in a damp area. This can lead to corrosion that will shorten thermostat life.
5. Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as: in a corner or an alcove; or behind an open door.
6. Do not install the unit until all construction work and painting has been completed.
7. This thermostat does not require leveling.

REMOVING THE OLD THERMOSTAT
Switch the electricity to the furnace and air conditioner OFF; then proceed with the following steps.

1. Remove the cover from the old thermostat. Most are snap-on types and simply pull off. Some have locking screws on the side. These must be loosened.
2. Note the letters printed near the terminals. Attach labels (enclosed) to each wire for identification. Remove and label wires one at a time. Make sure the wires do not fall back inside the wall.
3. Loosen all screws on the old thermostat and remove it from the wall.

MOUNTING THE UNIT ON THE WALL

1. Strip insulation 3/8 in. (9.5mm) from wire ends and clean off any corrosion.
2. Fill the wall opening with non-combustible insulation to prevent drafts from affecting the thermostat.
3. While holding the thermostat, press the button on the TOP of the housing and swing the front down and away from the back plate to separate the front and back portions

CAUTION
Be careful not to drop the body or disturb electronic parts. Leave the cover closed while the body is removed from the base.

NOTE
If you are mounting the base to a soft material like plasterboard or if you are using the old mounting holes, the screws may not hold. Drill a 3/16-in. (4.8mm) hole at each screw location, and insert the plastic anchors provided. Then mount the base as described below.

Attaching Wires
Hold the base against the wall, with the wires coming through wherever it is convenient for wiring. Route the wires to below the terminal block. Position the base for the best appearance (to hide any marks from an old thermostat). An optional wall plate is included for covering old mounting holes. Attach the base to the wall with the two screws provided.

C A U T I O N
Do not allow wires to touch each other or parts on the thermostat. Wires must be trapped between the black spacer and the brass terminal. Also, be sure to tighten securely all 7 electrical terminal screws.

WIRING DIAGRAMS

The diagrams below are provided for new installations or unreferenced wires.

BLOWER FAN
There is a switch on the back of the circuit board which has (2) positions, GAS and ELECTRIC. Choose the GAS switch position to have your furnace control the fan operation while in heat mode, or choose the ELECTRIC switch position to have the thermostat control the fan operation while in heat mode.

NOTE
If you have an electric system and the blower does not operate after installation, find the electric/gas heat selector on the back of the body. Move the selector to the ELEC position.

INSTALLING BATTERIES
The Unit requires batteries to operate your furnace and retain its programming in memory. Replace the batteries when the REPLACE indicator appears in the display or at least once a year.

WARNING : Use Energizer® or DURACELL® Alkaline Batteries Only.

NOTE
When replacing batteries, you have approximately 1 minute before the programs are lost. REPLACE BATTERIES WHEN THE “REPLACE” INDICATOR APPEARS

CAUTION
The Unit is protected against normal static electric discharges. However, in extremely dry weather you should touch another metal object before the Unit to avoid potential loss of programs.

1. Remove fresh batteries from their package.

2. Remove the body of the thermostat as described earlier.

3. Remove existing batteries if they are being replaced.

4. Install two new Energizer® or DURACELL® “AA” size alkaline batteries in the battery compartment. OBSERVE THE POLARITY MARKINGS SHOWN.
   NOTE: Some earlier versions of this model may have 4- ”AAA” batteries instead, all other instructions will be the same as displayed in this section.

5. Place the body back on the wall. Hook the bottom of the body onto the base, swing the body up and in, and snap the body onto the base. Installation is now complete. Be sure to turn the power back on to your heating and /or air conditioning system. If this is the first time you are installing batteries, the thermostat will display “SUN 12:00 AM”. Within 90 seconds the thermostat will begin to display the room temperature alternately with the time. To correct the display, see “Setting the TIME and DAY,” after you set the programs

OPERATION

This thermostat is “armchair programmable” You can make any program or setting change with the thermostat body on or off the wall. The Unit alternately displays the current time and room temperature. It also displays the day of the week and the currently active program period that is controlling the temperature: MORN, DAY, EVE, or NIght. The set point temperature will appear in the right side of the display. In the winter, set the system switch to HEAT to control your heating system. In the summer, set the switch to COOL to control your air conditioner. In spring and fall or when windows are open, you can set the system switch OFF. Setting the FAN switch to AUTO automatically runs your system’s fan during heating and cooling. Setting the FAN switch to ON runs your system’s fan continuously even without heating or cooling.

NOTE
The FAN switch works only if your system provides a wire for the Unit’s “G” terminal.

THE BUILT-IN TEMPERATURE PROGRAMS

Push in the RESET key. This sets the built-in heating and cooling programs. To review the built-in programs, press NEXT or PREVIOUS repeatedly; when you are done, press RETURN.
You can use the built-in programs as shown, or change them as you wish. Each day is divided into four periods. Each period has its own starting time and temperature.

PROGRAMMING THE UNIT
You can change any preset times or temperatures to suit your schedules for the Weekday, Saturday or Sunday programs. Each period (Morning, Day, Evening, and Night) is programmed separately for HEAT and COOL. On the System Switch, select HEAT mode to program the heating values, and select COOL mode to program the cooling values

NOTE
HEAT and COOL may have different temperatures

SETTING THE TIME AND DAY

Open the drop-down door on the front of the thermostat. Press the AHEAD button. You should see a day of the week flashing in the display. When you finish setting the correct time and day of the week, press the RETURN button to store your changes.

TEMPORARY TEMPERATURE OVERRIDE

This feature lets you temporarily change the current set temperature without changing the programs stored in your thermostat’s memory. This setting is considered “temporary”, because the stored program temperature will again take over at the next scheduled program period.

Use the Temp UP and Temp DOWN buttons to initiate the temporary override. The word “Override” will be displayed on the screen while this is in effect (as shown to the right).

Note:  If you have already altered the set temperature, and then use the Temp UP and Temp DOWN buttons and return the set tempered to the same value as the current program temperature, the override will be terminated and the “Override” indicator on the screen will turn off. An override may also be canceled by pressing the RETURN button.

MANUAL TEMPERATURE HOLD

This feature lets you manually change the current set temperature for an indefinite amount of time without having to change the programs stored in your thermostat’s memory. This will, in effect, make the thermostat like a non- programmable unit as long as it remains in the HOLD mode. TEMP To initiate a Manual Temperature Hold, start with TH TEMP changing the set temperature using the Temp MORN HOLD

To initiate a Manual Temperature Hold, start by changing the set temperature using the Temp UP and Temp DOWN buttons to your desired “holding” temperature (just as in a temporary
temperature override above). Now press the HOLD button. The word “Hold” will be displayed on the screen while this is in effect (as shown in the drawing to the right). While Hold is being shown on the screen, the temperature will remain at the set temperature until the hold is canceled by the user. To cancel an existing hold, you can either push the HOLD button again, or push the RETURN button. When the “Hold” indicator disappears from the screen, the hold will be canceled and the thermostat will be back in normal “Run” mode and follow the programs stored in memory.

ADVANCED FEATURES

ENERGY USAGE MONITOR
A timer in the thermostat records your systems’ ON time for the current day, and the previous day, and also cumulatively to let you see the effects of your temperature settings and varying weather conditions Select HEAT mode to monitor heating energy usage, OR Select the COOL mode to monitor cooling energy usage.

To view the first usage monitor. The current day (e.g., “Fr”) will appear. The “Usage” and “Hr” indicators will appear on the screen. The time displayed indicates the total Energy Usage just for today. Below is an example of the screen while displaying the Energy Usage monitor.

FILTER USAGE MONITOR
The FILTER Monitor counts the hours since the filter in your blower fan unit was last changed. After 250 hours of use, “Filter” will appear in the display. After you change the filter, set the thermostat’s FILTER Monitor back to zero as follows.

TEMPERATURE SWING
A thermostat works by turning your heating or cooling system on and off whenever the room temperature varies a certain number of degrees from the set point temperature. This amount of variation above and below the set point is called the amount. Your system should cycle on approximately 3 to 6 times per hour. A smaller swing number setting increases the number of cycles per hour, which has the end result of making the room temperature more constant and precise. A larger swing number setting decreases the number of cycles per hour. This will make the room temperature vary a larger, however, this will provide energy savings in most cases.

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: ºF TO ºC DISPLAY, AND 12HR TO 24HR CLOCK

NOTE
Making these changes will require you to reset the thermostat after making the change. Please write down any heating or cooling program times or temperatures that you may have stored
in memory as these will be lost during the reset.

Remove the front half of the thermostat from the back plate. Looking at the upper-left of the circuit board on the rear of the unit, there will be two jumper caps which are labeled  (as shown in the drawing to the right).

• To change ºF to ºC, remove the bottom jumper (JP1).
• To change 12HR to 24HR, remove the top jumper (JP2).
• Once finished, press the small button to the left of the keypad buttons for changes to take effect.
• Reprogram any time or temperature settings as needed.
