NOTE : These instructions may contain information beyond that required for your particular installation.

SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY

This thermostat can be used with most single-stage 24-volt: gas, oil or electric heating and cooling systems, single-stage heat pumps, or gas Millivolt heating systems. It cannot be used with: 3-wire zone valves, 120/240-volt heating elements, or multi-stage heat pumps. Ask your dealer for other LUXPRO thermostats to control those systems.

TOOLS YOU MAY NEED
Screwdrivers, wire stripper/cutter, and possibly a drill with assorted bits (new installations only).

REMOVAL OF OLD THERMOSTAT

1. Turn OFF the electricity to all heating and cooling components. Do not turn the electricity is back on until all work is completed.
2. Remove the front portion of your old thermostat to expose the wiring connections.
3. Write down the letters printed near each wire terminal that is used, and also the color of each wire that is connected to it. Self-adhesive wire labels are also enclosed.
4. Carefully remove the wires one at a time, and bend them in a manner so that they do not fall back inside the wall. Do not allow bare wire ends to touch each other.
5. Loosen the mounting screws for the old thermostat and carefully remove it from the wall.

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

1. Mount the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor.
2. Do not locate the thermostat where air circulation is poor such as in a corner, alcove, or behind a door that is normally left open.
3. Do not locate the thermostat where unusual heating or cooling conditions may be present, such as: direct sunlight, above a lamp, television, or radiator, or on a wall next to an exterior door or window.
4. Do not locate in a damp environment, as this can lead to corrosion that may shorten thermostat life.
5. If painting or construction work is still ongoing, cover the thermostat completely or wait until this work is complete before installation

INSTALLATION OF NEW THERMOSTAT

1. Strip wire insulation leaving only 3/8 in. (9.5mm) bare wire ends, and clean off any corrosion present.
2. Fill the wall opening with non-combustible insulation to prevent drafts from affecting the thermostat’s normal operation.
3. Route the wires through the opening in the new thermostat base plate, and hold the base against the wall. Try to line up the screw holes from the prior thermostat, and install the mounting screws.
4. If the previous holes cannot be used, hold the thermostat base against the wall so that it appears straight and level (position the base for the best appearance) and mark for the new screw holes. Attach the base to the wall using the screws provided (use the supplied plastic anchors if needed when mounting to a soft material such as drywall).

WIRING TERMINAL CONNECTIONS

1. When attaching the wires to the thermostat, please ensure that the wire is placed in between the upper black clamp and the lower brass terminal underneath it, as shown in the diagram. Do not wrap the wire around the screw, simply place it straight in.
2.  Securely tighten all of the electrical terminal screws, including any unused ones. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws, they only need to be snug.

Complete heating and/or cooling system wiring can be found in the WIRE IDENTIFICATION AND WIRING SCHEMATICS section of this instruction sheet. The schematics shown provide component information for brand-new installations or for unreferenced wires

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND SETUP OPTIONS

On the circuit board, there are hardware settings called “jumpers”. Each jumper has 3 metal pins and a small black cap. The cap is moved to either the top two pins or the lower two pins. Changes to these options are recognized every time the HEAT/OFF/COOL mode switch is moved.

JP1 (CTRL): [UP   =  Manual Operation] The thermostat operates manually, and only shows the room and set temperatures. In this mode, there are no temperature programs, days of the week, or clock times. [DOWN = Program Operation, default] The thermostat follows four temperature programs: MORN, DAY, EVE, and NITE. Each period has a start time and
a set temperature.

JP2 (SCALE): [UP   =  Celsius] This setting displays all temperature values in C° degrees. [DOWN = Fahrenheit, default] All temperature values are displayed in F° degrees.

JP3 (BATT): [UP   =  None] This setting only applies if you are NOT using batteries in the thermostat, and are powering the thermostat entirely from the system (“C” wire terminal). [DOWN = Batt, default] This setting regularly monitors the battery level and shows “LOW BAT” on the screen if the batteries need to be replaced. Use this setting at all times when batteries are physically present in the thermostat.

JP4 (HP): [UP   =  Heat Pump] Use this setting if you have a heat pump unit (which looks just like an outside air conditioning unit, but is used for both cooling and heating). [DOWN = non-HP, default] This setting is used for the majority of all heating systems that are not heat pumps. Examples for this setting would be: natural gas furnace, hot water baseboard heat, and oil heat.

JP5 (FAN): [UP =  Electric / HP] This setting runs the system’s blower fan when heat is called for, and is required for systems that do not control their own fan while in HEAT mode. Heat pump systems, and units with an electric heating element typically require this setting. [DOWN = Gas, default] Thi setting lets the heating system control the blower fan automatically by itself. Types of systems that would typically use the “Gas” fan setting would be: natural gas furnaces, propane furnaces, and oil furnaces.

JP6 (B/O): [UP =  “B”] This setting energizes the “B/O” wire terminal at all times in HEAT mode, and is not energized in COOL mode. This setting is not typical and is only needed for certain brands of heat pump units, such as: Rheem, Ruud, Goettl, and Bard. [DOWN = “O”, default] This setting energizes the “B/O” wire terminal at all times in COOL mode, and is not energized in HEAT mode. This setting is used for the majority of heat pump units with the exception of only a few brands

THERMOSTAT FRONT PANEL

HEAT / OFF / COOL, SYSTEM MODE SWITCH:  Set this switch to HEAT to control your heating system, and COOL to control your cooling system. The OFF position will disable both the heating and cooling units.

AUTO / ON, FAN SWITCH:  When this switch is in AUTO, the blower fan (if present in your system) will
automatically cycle on and off by itself when heating or cooling is running. When in the ON position,
the blower fan will run constantly with or without a demand for heating or cooling, even in OFF mode.

MULTI-FUNCTION, SET SLIDE SWITCH:  Unless other settings are being adjusted, this switch should always remain in the RUN position for the thermostat to control temperature. When this switch is in the DAY/TIME position, the day and clock can be changed. When this switch is in the WEEKDAY or WEEKEND positions, the heating and cooling temperature program periods can be adjusted. NOTE: this switch is only used in “Program” mode. When the thermostat is used in “Manual” control mode all four of the switch positions will act like the RUN position.

RESET BUTTON:  There is a small recessed push button located to the left of the DOWN button, which can be pressed with a pen/pencil, paper clip, or similar object. A single press of this button causes the LCD display screen to become fully populated, the heating/cooling load relay to cycle off, and performs an internal system check of the thermostat components. If your thermostat is acting in an erratic manner, pressing the Reset button may remedy this behavior. If your thermostat continues to act erratically, a Full Software Reset may be needed. This and other additional features can be accessed using the same Reset button, which is explained in the ADVANCED FEATURES section this manual

THERMOSTAT BASIC OPERATION

SET DAY AND TIME: Place the Set Slide Switch into the DAY/TIME position. With the day flashing, press UP or DOWN to set the day of the week. Press NEXT and the clock will start flashing. Use UP or DOWN to set the time, making sure the AM/PM indication is correct. Holding UP or DOWN will make the clock digits scroll rapidly. Return the Set Slide Switch to RUN.

HEATING AND COOLING:  Basic operation of your heating or cooling system can be obtained by the Set the Slide Switch in the RUN position and choosing either HEAT or COOL on the System Mode Switch. When the thermostat is first powered up, it will follow a default temperature routine that is preset from the factory (shown below).

AM   78  ° F   (26  ° C)
DAY| 8:00   AM   62  ° F   (17  ° C)| 8:00 AM   85  ° F   (29  ° C)
EVE| 6:00   PM   70  ° F   (21  ° C)| 6:00 PM   78  ° F   (26  ° C)
NITE| 10:00   PM   62  ° F   (17  ° C)| 10:00   PM   82  ° F   (28  ° C)

TEMPERATURE OVERRIDE: While in Program mode, the set temperature can be temporarily changed by pressing UP or DOWN. The set temperature will return to the programmed value stored in memory when the start time of the next upcoming program period is reached (MORN, DAY, EVE, NITE). While a Temporary Override is in effect, the word OVERRIDE will be shown in the display screen. An Override may be canceled by moving the mode switch to OFF, then back to HEAT or COOL.

MINIMUM RUN TIME: The thermostat has an internal time delay of 5 minutes between load-on and load-off activations to prevent heating or cooling system damage, which can occur from very frequent cycling. If heating or cooling does not turn on right away with a change in set temperature, please wait 5 minutes and the system should resume normal operation.

TEMPERATURE HOLD: A Temperature Hold is used for maintaining a fixed set temperature.  Once a Hold is initiated, the thermostat will maintain the set temperature indefinitely. A Hold may be used for days, weeks, or even months at a time. To enter Hold mode: press HOLD one time and the word Hold will appear in the display. To cancel a Hold, press HOLD one more time.

STATIC NOTICE : This thermostat is protected against normal minor static electric discharges, however, to minimize the risk of damaging the unit in extremely dry weather, please touch a grounded metal object before touching your thermostat.

LCD DISPLAY BACKLIGHT: The display screen has backlighting that will assist viewing at nighttime, or in locations with low light levels. A press of any button on the front panel will light the display for approximately 10 seconds. Any button presses that occur while the backlight is on, will reset the timer, causing the screen to remain illuminated for an additional 10 seconds

TEMPERATURE PROGRAMS

This thermostat has 4 separate program periods for both Heat and Cool modes, they are MORN, DAY, EVE, and NITE. Each period ends at the start time of the following period. The heat programs are set in HEAT mode, and the cool programs are set in COOL mode.

WEEKDAY PROGRAMS: Move the Set Slide Switch to WEEKDAY. You will be programming all five weekdays at the same time. Use UP or DOWN to adjust the start time for the MORN period, then press NEXT to advance. Use UP or DOWN to adjust the set temperature for the MORN period, then press NEXT to advance. Now adjust the start time and set the temperature for the DAY period, pressing NEXT after each to advance.  Continue with these same steps to adjust the start times and set temperatures for the EVE and NITE program periods. When you are finished setting all four periods, continue pressing NEXT to review your entries for all 4 periods. Move the Set Slide Switch to the RUN position if you are finished, or to WEEKEND to adjust the periods for Saturday or Sunday periods.

WEEKEND PROGRAMS: Move the Set Slide Switch to WEEKEND. You will be programming both Saturday and Sunday at the same time. You will begin with the start time for the MORN period, and use the same steps that you did for setting the Weekday periods, pressing NEXT to advance through the values. Return the Set Slide Switch to the RUN position when you are finished.

ADVANCED FEATURES

TEMPERATURE SWING: The amount of temperature variation between load-on and load-off is changed by adjusting the swing set. The default value is #1, and the adjustment range is from #1 to #9. A smaller swing number makes the temperature control more precise and constant and increases the number of cycles per hour. A larger swing number will produce a greater variation between load-on and load-off events and decreases the number of cycles per hour. To adjust the swing: place the Set Slide Switch in the RUN position, and press both NEXT and HOLD at the same time. Use UP or DOWN to change the setting, then press NEXT when finished.

TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION: This thermostat is calibrated at the factory and in most cases, alterations to this setting should not be required. The Calibration feature allows you to manually offset the room temperature measurement by as much as plus or minus 5°F (3°C) degrees from its original value.  0°F (0°C) is the default setting.  To adjust the Calibration: place the Set Slide Switch in the RUN position, and the System Mode switch in the OFF position. Press both UP and DOWN together for at least 4 seconds. Use UP or DOWN to change the setting, then press NEXT when finished.

KEYPAD LOCKOUT: You can lock the front panel buttons to prevent unauthorized tampering of your thermostat settings.

TEMPERATURE LIMIT STOPS: There are two independent set temperature stops a maximum heat set temperature and a minimum cool set temperature. Each of these temperature stops is user adjustable in one-degree increments. The heat limit stop prevents the set temperature from being adjusted higher than the heat limit setting. The cool limit stop prevents the set temperature from being adjusted lower than the cool limit setting.

COMPRESSOR PROTECTION BYPASS: This optional feature permits the installer or service technician to temporarily disable the built-in compressor protection delays. This is most useful for diagnosing and testing the heating and cooling systems after installation is complete, and should not be used during normal operation. To activate this feature: place the Set Slide Switch in the RUN position, and perform a single press of the RESET button (located to the left of the DOWN button). The screen will change to become fully populated with all segments shown. After the screen returns to a normal display, enter the following four-button sequence, using a single press for each button: UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN. You should leave approximately one second between button presses. The cooling terminal can now be activated one time without waiting for the delay, and once activated the thermostat will return to normal run mode with delays present. When you use this Compressor Protection Bypass procedure, no changes will be made to other thermostat settings or options.

FULL SOFTWARE RESET: This complete reset returns all heating and cooling temperature programs, and all user-changeable software options, to their factory default values. It is recommended that you write down your current heating and cooling program values for reference prior to performing a software reset. To perform a software reset: move the System Mode switch in the OFF position, and the Set Slide switch to the RUN position. Perform a single press of the RESET button (located to the left of the DOWN button). The screen will change to become fully populated with all segments shown. After the screen returns to a normal display, enter the following four-button sequence, using a single press for each button: UP, DOWN, UP, DOWN. You should leave approximately one second between button presses.  After the software reset steps have been performed, you will not notice anything different on the screen, and the thermostat will be ready for normal operation (you may wish to adjust the heating and cooling programs to suit your temperature preferences).

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
This thermostat is powered by two “AA” Alkaline batteries. The batteries should be replaced AT LEAST once per year (or sooner, if the “LOW BAT” battery symbol appears in the lower left portion of the display screen as shown below. The batteries are located on the back of the circuit board and can be accessed by pulling the front portion of the thermostat straight outwards and removing it from the wall. When installing new batteries, we recommend using only brand new Energizer® or DURACELL®, “AA” size alkaline batteries.  Please observe the polarity markings shown in the battery compartment to ensure proper installation. When finished, line up the front of the thermostat to the base, and firmly press them together to latch properly.

WIRING DIAGRAM NOTES

(Important, please read all notes before connecting wires)

• If the information provided does not clearly represent your system configuration, please refer to the “TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE” section of this manual, and contact our support department  before  removing any of your existing thermostat wirings.
• Some of the wires shown may not be present in all systems and will depend upon your specific system type or For example Diagram #1 shows a fan wire present. If you only have 2-wire heat, connect your wires to RH and W. If your system does not have a fan, the “G” terminal will simply not be used.
• For Heat Pump systems, use either the “O” terminal or the “B” terminal, but not If an “O” and a “B” wire are both present, “B” is likely a system common and may be connected to the “C” terminal. Connecting system common power to this thermostat’s “B” terminal may damage the thermostat, and also your system.
• The dashed wire going to the “C” terminal is optional and is not required to operate heating This is used for powering the thermostat from the 24 Volt system, and may not be present in your specific application.
• If “Y” and “C” wires are both present, then “C” is most likely a system common You can connect this to the “C” terminal.
• If replacing an old thermostat that has a mechanical clock, there may be  two  wires labeled as “C” for the clock Tape off these wires and do not connect them to the “C” terminal of this thermostat.
• If your current wiring configuration has  both  an “RC” and “RH” wire, this typically means that you have a two- transformer system, and there are separate 24-volt power wires coming from both the heating equipment and cooling equipment. Your wiring connections should be the same as in diagram #3 above, with the exception of the RH and RC wires. Remove the factory-installed RH-RC jumper wire from the new thermostat terminals. Connect the heating system power wire (usually RH or R) to the LUX “RH” terminal, and the cooling system power wire (usually RC) to the LUX “RC” terminal.
