INSTALLATION

warning

Thermostat installation and all components of the control system shall conform to Class II circuits per the NEC code.

Remove Old Thermostat
Before removing wires from old thermostat, mark wires for terminal identification so the proper connections will be made to the new thermostat.
Installing New Thermostat

  1. Pull the thermostat body off the thermostat base. Forcing or prying on the thermostat will cause damage to the unit.
  2. Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole locations on wall using base as a template.
  3. Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes. If you are using existing mounting holes and the holes drilled are too large and do not allow you to tighten base snugly, use plastic screw anchors to secure the base.
  4. Fasten base snugly to the wall using mounting holes shown in Figure 1 and two mounting screws. Leveling is for appearance only and will not affect thermostat operation.
  5. Connect wires to the terminal block on base using the appropriate wiring schematic.
  6. Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire-resistant material (such as fiberglass insulation) to prevent drafts from affecting thermostat operation.
  7. Carefully line the thermostat up with the base and snap into place.
Battery Location

2 “AA” alkaline batteries are included in the thermostat at the factory with a battery tag to prevent power drainage. Remove the battery tag to engage the batteries.
To replace batteries, set system to OFF, remove the thermostat from wall and install the batteries in the rear along the top of the thermostat (see Figure 1). For best results, use a premium brand “AA” alkaline battery such as Duracell® or Energizer®. If the home is going to be unoccupied for an extended period (over 3 months) and is displayed, the batteries should be replaced before leaving.
Power Stealing Switches
The Power Stealing Switches (Fig. 1) should be left in the “On” position for most systems. The information in the following table details the thermostat power method and switch options.

*Power Stealing Assist is very reliable to increase battery life, but on a small number of heating or cooling systems with high impedance electronic modules you may observe one of the following conditions:

  1. The furnace draft inducer motor may run with no call for heat.
  2. The furnace fan may turn on with no call for heat or may not turn off.
  3. The furnace may not turn off when the call for heat ends.
  4. The air conditioner may not turn off when the call for cool ends.
    If the Power Stealing Assist method is not compatible with your system, place the Power Stealing Switches to “Off”. This cancels Power Stealing Assist, operates the thermostat on batteries and corrects the condition.

Heat Pump Connections
If you do not have a heat pump system, refer to figures 3 & 4.
Refer to equipment manufacturers’ instructions for specific system wiring information.
You can configure the thermostat for use with the following heat pump systems.

HEAT PUMP TYPE 1 (HP 1).  Single-stage compressor system; gas or electric backup.
HEAT PUMP TYPE 2 (HP 2). Multi-stage compressor or two-compressor system with gas or electric backup.
After wiring, see the INSTALLER CONFIGURATION section for proper thermostat configuration.

Emerson-1F95-1291-Non-Programmable-Thermostat-fig.4

Dehumidification wiring without an electronically controlled variable speed blower system for single-stage compressor system only.

If you have a single stage compressor system see the diagram below. A relay (customer provided) should be installed as shown in Fig 7 to switch the fan speed to the next lower speed on a call for dehumidification from the thermostat. The reduction in air flow allows the coil to remove more humidity from the air. The relay should be rated for blower motor load. Since this configuration reduces the air flow in cooling, the WIRING DIAGRAMS anti- freeze-up control (White-Rodgers CAFC) or equivalent is recommended. The CAFC prevents the air conditioning coil from freezing due to low air flow, dirty filters, low refrigerant pressure, etc. The CAFC snaps onto the suction line close to the evaporator coil as possible and breaks the compressor circuit when the suction line drops below 38°F and re-make the circuit at 46°F.

Thermostat-fig.11

  1. This control can be configured for:

    • MS2 – Multi-Stage System (2 heat/2 cool)
    • HP1 – Heat Pump with one stage of the compressor (2 heat/1 cool)
    • HP2 – Heat Pump with two stage compressor or two compressor system, Gas or Electric backup; (Dual Fuel see screen reference number 33) (4 heat/2 cool) SS1 – Single Stage System (3 wire zone see wiring diagrams.
  2. GAS or Electric (ELE) fan operation. If the heating system requires the thermostat to energize the fan, select ELE. Select GAS if the heating system energizes the fan on a call for heat. Note: Resetting the thermostat switches the option to GAS.

  3. O/B Terminal selection – Selects the operation of the reversing valve (when item 1 is set to HP1 or HP2 only). When set to “O” the changeover valve will be energized in COOL to accommodate the majority of heat applications. If the heat pump requires the changeover valve to energize in HEAT, select “B”.

  4. Programs per week – This control can be configured for 7 independent day or 5+1+1 day programming or nonprogrammable modes. Default is 7-day mode. The display indicates “7 Days” as default. Other options “5 Days” or “0 Days” can be selected. If “0 Days” is selected for non-programmable mode, the step for EMR will be skipped, as this feature will not be available in this mode.

  5. Program Steps per day – Not available if configured for non-programmable. This control can be configured for 4 or 2 program steps per day. Default is “4 PS” and can be toggled between 4 PS and 2 PS.

  6. System Switch Configuration (MS2/SS1) – This thermostat is configured for Heat and Cool with Auto changeover default (Cool-Off-Heat-Auto). It can be configured as Heat & Cool (Cool-Off-Heat), or Heat Only (Off-Heat), or Cool Only (Cool-Off).
    When the control is in heat pump configuration (HP1/ HP2), the system switch configuration will have an additional mode, Em for Emergency.

  7. Energy Management Recovery (EMR) – (this step is skipped if configured as non-programmable). When set to “On” causes the thermostat to start heating or cooling early to make the building temperature reach the program setpoint at the time you specify.
    Example: The heating program is 65°F at night and 70° at 7 AM. If the building temperature is 65°F, the difference is 5°F. Allowing 5 minutes per °F rise, the thermostat setpoint will change to 70° at 6:35 AM. Cooling allows more time per °F, because it takes longer to reach temperature.

  8. 8, 9 & 10. Cycle Rate Selection – The factory default setting is fast cycle (FA Cr) in all modes (Heat, Cool, Em). To change to slow cycling (SL, Cr), press touch keys or toggle between FA & SL. The cycle rates are below:

    • Mode Med Slow
    • Heat 0.6°F 1.5°F
    • Cool 1.2°F 1.7°F
    • Heat Pump 1.2°F 1.7°F
    • Emer Heat 0.6°F 1.7°F
  9. Stage Cycle Completion (SC) – Selecting (SC On) will cause the thermostat to complete heating and/or cooling cycles on the highest stage engaged during the cycle. The thermostat will not reduce heating or cooling stages before the heating or cooling cycle is satisfied and all stages are turned off.

  10. Select Compressor Lockout (CL) – Selecting (CL On) will cause the thermostat to wait 5 minutes between cooling cycles. This is intended to help protect the compressor from short cycling. Some of the newer compressors have a time delay built in and do not require this feature to be activated in the thermostat. Your compressor manufacturer can tell you if this lockout feature is already present in their system. When the thermostat compressor time delay is activated, it will flash the set point for up to five minutes.

  11. Select Continuous Display Lighting (dL) – In low lighting conditions, display backlight improves the display contrast. (See Table 1)

  12. Select Temperature Display Adjustment 5 LO to 5 HI This allows you to adjust the room temperature display by -5°F to +5°F in 1° steps. Your thermostat was accurately

  13. will take one hour of continuous air conditioner run time with subsequent 1° adjustments occurring with each additional half hour of run time (ex for a 2° offset, the air conditioner would need to run continuously for 1 ½ hours). The offset is limited to the number of degrees you select from 1 up to 6. When an offset starts or is active, “Cool Savings” will flash on the display. The principle of this energy saving feature takes advantage of the long air conditioning run times lowering the indoor humidity allowing a slightly higher temperature to feel comfortable. As the peak load subsides, this feature also takes advantage of the air conditioner’s increased capacity under more efficient conditions to gradually reduce the offset back to zero and return control to the selected setpoint temperature. If Cool Savings is selected off, no temperature offset will occur.

  14. 22. Compressor Optimization – (Not available on earlier models) CO provides a delay in circulator fan operation calibrated at the factory, however you have the option to change the display temperature value to match the previous thermostat, if you so prefer.

Power Stealing Backlight

  1. *  **Notes:**  

    If the system is heat or cool only, or does not allow power stealing on the thermostat terminals W/E and Y the backlight may not operate continuously or drop out when heat or cool is running.

    • If the power stealing switches (see page 2) on the back of the thermostat are set to off the backlight will not be continuous.
    • the display light will increase in brightness when a button is pressed.
    • On high impedance systems, the display light may dim slightly when the thermostat is calling for heat or cool.
  2. Select °F or °C Readout – Changes the display readout to Celsius or Fahrenheit as required.

  3. Select Audio Prompting (Beeper) On or Off – Factory default setting is b, On. If you wish to turn off the beeper select OFF.

  4. Select Daylight Saving Time Calculation – This feature will allow the thermostat to calculate the DST automatically and apply it to the Real Time Clock display. Default is On.

  5. 18 & 19. Select Automatic Schedule – Not available if configured for non-programmable. This feature allows programming a “Comfort Temperature” into all program periods with the Auto Schedule key. When Heat AS (for Heat mode) or Cool AS (for Cool mode) is selected On, the Auto Schedule feature is ready to be set. Off indicates that the feature is not ready to be used or a “Comfort Temperature” is already set. See Auto Schedule in Programming section.

  6. 20 & 21. Select Cool Savings™ – Cool Savings™ provides an energy saving temperature offset (from 1-6 degrees) under peak cooling load conditions (high outdoor temperatures). If selected on, Cool Savings™ becomes active when the air-conditioner runs for periods of longer than 20 minutes. When active, Cool Savings™ gradually offsets the indoor temperature display downward. The first 1° of adjustment after the compressor turns on or off. With CO selected ON, when the compressor turns on (for a call for heat in heat pump or a call for cool) the fan will be delayed for five seconds before turning on to allow the air to be heated or cooled. After the compressor turns off for call for cool, the fan will continue to run for 20 seconds to capture additional cooling from the system. If CO is set to OFF, there will be no delay in fan operation.

  7. Comfort Alert with Active Protection – (not available on earlier models) Turn this feature ON to enable active protection. This allows the thermostat to identify fault codes sent by the Comfort Alert module when compressor damage is possible and react to those codes by turning the compressor off. Fault codes from the Comfort Alert module will flash on the thermostat. (Refer to Comfort Alert Codes in Troubleshooting section.) If a Comfort Alert module is not connected, or to disable active protection, turn this feature OFF. If a Comfort Alert module is connected and this feature is turned OFF, the thermostat will still receive and flash the fault codes from the Comfort Alert module, but the active protection will not be enabled to protect the compressor.

  8. Heat Temperature Limit Range – This feature adjusts the highest setpoint temperature for heat. The default setting is 99°F. It can be changed to a setting between 62°F and 98°F. The “temperature limit” icon will be displayed to the left of your setpoint temperature when using this feature. The “temperature limit” icon will flash if an attempt is made to adjust the temperature beyond the range selected.

  9. Cool Temperature Limit Range – This feature adjusts the lowest setpoint temperature for cool. The default setting is 45°F. It can be changed to a setting between 46°F and 82°F. The “temperature limit” icon will be displayed to the left of your setpoint temperature when using this feature. The “temperature limit” icon will flash if an attempt is made to adjust the temperature beyond the range selected.

  10. 26 & 27. Keypad Lockout – This step allows you to select the type of lockout or limited-range security required. If no lockout or limited range security is required, press to advance the menu.
    Three security settings are available in this menu item. Use the or keys to select the lockout desired. Lockout selections are:

    • “Keypad Lockout and L” = Total Lockout. Total Lockout locks all keys.
    • “Keypad Lockout and P” = Partial Lockout. Partial Lockout allows only the or keys to operate within your set temperature limits.
    • “Temperature Limit/Keypad Lockout” prevents changing the temperature limits in the Configuration Menu.
      After the type of lockout is selected, press.
      Keypad Lockout Combination Number Selection Display will read “000” “Keypad Lockout”.
      Skip this step and continue through the remainder of the configuration menu if you require an Air Filter Change out indicator or Humidifier Pad Change out indicator by pressing the key to advance.
      Return to this point when you are ready to start your selected lock-out and continue by:
      Pressing or keys to select your keypad lockout combination number. Note: “000” is not a valid combination choice.
      Record the number you select for future use.
      Press to exit the menu. The security feature you select will start in 10 seconds. The system key will remain active for 10 seconds to allow setting Heat, Off, Cool or Auto.
      To unlock the keypad, press Menu, then press Installer Config. Display will show “000” and keypad lock. Enter the code used to lock the keypad and press .
  11. 28 & 29. Select Fast Second Stage, ON or OFF – Not available if configured for SS1. Selecting FA ON forces additional heat stages to come on quickly when is used to raise the temperature a few degrees above the room. Select this setting if you want the heat to increase quickly when you manually raise the temperature.
    Selecting FA OFF allows the thermostat to calculate an optimal time to bring on additional stages of heat. When the is used to raise the setting above the room temperature additional heat stages may come on very quickly or very slowly (up to 30 minutes later) depending on recent system performance. Select this setting if you do not require the additional heat stages to come on quickly when you manually raise the setting and want to allow the thermostat to stage based on recent system performance.
    The Fast Cool feature operates the cooling stages in the same manner as Fast Heat, On or Off when the temperature is lowered below the room setting.

  12. Select Remote Temperature Sensor Enabled – ON enables a remote sensor connected to thermostat and displays the sensor temperature in the clock digits. OFF (default) indicates no remote sensor connected or enabled.

  13. Select Remote Sensor as Indoor or Outdoor – If 30 is enabled, select the remote to be Remote In (Indoor, F145-1328) or Outdoor Remote (Outdoor, F145-1378). Default is Remote In.

  14. Select Local Sensor Disable – If 31 is selected Indoor, the thermostat Local Sensor can be disabled so the displayed temperature will be from the Remote Sensor. Default is On LS. To disable the Local Sensor, change selection to OFF LS.

  15. Select Dual Fuel Feature (dF) – This feature is applicable only in heat pump modes (HP1, HP2). Enables (On) or disables (Off) dual fuel feature of thermostat.

  16. Select Dual Fuel Temperature – With dF selected On and outdoor remote sensor available, select the outdoor temperature the thermostat will use to determine when to switch to gas heat and shut down the compressor. When the outdoor temperature falls below the selected temperature the gas heat will begin. Default is 35°, but can be set in the range of -5 to 50°. A lower setting will delay the start of gas heat allowing cooler temperature in the home.

  17. Select Dual Fuel Setting – With DF selected On and no outdoor sensor, select the dF setting from 01-09. Factory default is 05. The dF setting influences when second stage comes on. The factory default creates a separation of approximately 1°F between stages. Increasing the setting decreases the separation between stages. Decreasing the value increases stage separation. This adjustment allows a small change in the operation of your heat pump system versus your auxiliary system relative to the thermostat adjustment. The higher the number the sooner the auxiliary stage energizes for better comfort. The lower the number the longer period of time before auxiliary is energized for more economy.
    Note: This setting is not minutes or degrees. It is numeric setting that will influence the internal thermostat calculation for staging.

  18. Select Compressor Delay (Cd) – After the auxiliary heat is turned on, the compressor(s) shut down is delayed for the time selected (in seconds). This delay is factory set to 60, but can be set in the range of 0 to 99.

  19. Select Auxiliary Off (AO) – Applicable with HP1 or HP2 selected with outdoor sensor. Select the temperature that will inhibit the auxiliary heating stage. As long as the outdoor temperature is above the selected temperature, the auxiliary heat will not turn on. The default setting is 80°(disabled), but can be set in the range of -5 ° to 79°. Thermostat will not allow a setting at or below the (dF) dual fuel setting.
    If indoor temperature drops below 45° because of a possible heat pump malfunction, the thermostat will turn off the pump and switch to Auxiliary heat. “Call for Service” will display on screen.
    There are two ways the thermostat will return to normal heat pump operation:

  20. Press any key to retry the pump and erase the “call for service icon.

  21. When setpoint is achieved on Auxiliary, system will return to heat pump operation on next call for heat.

  22. Select Programmable Blower Balance Point (bP) – Applicable with HP1 or HP2 selected, dF On with outdoor sensor. Requires DHM connection from thermostat to heat pump system. This feature de-energizes the DHM terminal to operate the blower at a slower speed for first stage heat when the outdoor temperature is below the temperature selected. This circulates warmer air than the higher fan speed. The default is 80° (disabled), but can be set from 20° to 79°. Select an outdoor temperature where the air coming out of the ducts begins to feel cool and the thermostat will lower the fan speed to circulate warmer air.

  23. Humidity Display (Hd) – Selecting HD On enables the display to alternately show the current time and the humidity. If HD is selected OFF, the display will not show the humidity. (See page 10 for Humidity setpoint range)

  24. Adjustable Humidity Display – The display will show the ambient humidity and 00 (default). The setting can be changed from -20 and LO to 20 and HI. The displayed humidity will change as the offset is changed. In Run mode, the displayed humidity will be the ambient humidity adjusted by the setting selected.

  25. Auto Humidity Reduction (HR) – This feature automatically lowers humidity setting when the outside temperature drops to prevent the interior windows/walls from reaching the dew point where water condenses on surfaces. This feature default is OFF. It can be changed to select LO (low humidity reduction) or HI. To achieve automatic humidity reduction, the thermostat lowers the humidity when furnace cycles are long. When the outside temperature rises, it increases humidity. “LO” indicates a low amount of humidity reduction.

  26. Automatic Humidification (AH) – This feature if enabled allows for humidification independent of a call for heating – useful in arid climates where addition humidification in heating and/or cooling is desired. If enabled, will energize the humidifier and circulator blower (“G” terminal and the “HM” terminal) if the actual humidity is below the humidity set point. The display indicates AH. Pressing the key will cycle the display from OFF to H (feature enabled in Heat mode) to C (feature enabled in Cool mode) to A (feature enabled to Auto mode) and back to OFF.

  27. Cycle Humidifier (CH) – This feature provides an option that reduces the water usage by up to 50% when a flow-through humidifier is controlled by the thermostat. It is recommended for use on flow-through humidifiers only. The display indicates CH (Cycle Humidifier) with the default indicating OFF. Pressing the or keys will toggle the display from OFF to On and back to OFF. When CH is enabled, the humidifier will cycle to turn off for 10 minutes after it has run for 10 minutes. The blower and/or furnace will continue to run during the humidifier off period.

  28. Programmable Dehumidification Optimal Comfort Mode (OC) or Optimal Dehumidification (Od) – This item can be selected to OC (Optimal Comfort mode), Od (Optimal Dehumidification), or OFF. When Optimal Comfort (OC) is enabled, this feature automatically reduces indoor humidity with a call for Cooling if humidity is 2% above humidity setpoint. Humidity is set by pressing the Humidity key when in the appropriate mode, in this case Cooling, and pressing the or keys to set desired humidity (range 40% to 95%) level followed by pressing Humidity key again. This dehumidification feature uses less energy by maintaining temperature and dehumidifying only when a call for Cooling is required. Optimal Dehumidification (Od) when enabled, this feature automatically reduces indoor humidity with a call for Cooling if humidity is 2% above setting. Humidity is set by pressing the HUMIDITY key when in the appropriate mode, in this case Cooling, and pressing the or keys to set desired humidity level followed by pressing Humidity key again. This dehumidification feature may use more energy by making dehumidification a priority initiating a call for cooling if humidity is 2% above desired setting. This feature may also over-cool the conditioned space by up to 3 degrees to achieve the desired humidity level. (Note: Both dehumidification modes operate in Cooling mode only with a call for cooling)

  29. 45 & 46. Change UV Lamp – This feature allows the thermostat to display the words “Change UV Lamp” (Call for Service of UV bulb) after a set time of UV bulb operation. This is a reminder to maintain your UV system at optimum level of operation. When enabled, the factory set interval for “Change UV Lamp” to be displayed is 350 days of UV bulb operation and can be adjusted in 25 day increments. This should be adjusted with respect to the bulb’s recommended maintenance schedule.
    When “Change UV Lamp” is displayed, you can clear it by pressing Clean Display.

  30. 47 & 48. Change Humidifier Pad – This feature allows the thermostat to display the words “Change Pad” after a set time of humidifier operation. This is a reminder to maintain or clean your humidifier. The factory set interval for “Change Pad” to be displayed is 100 hours of humidifier operation. This should be adjusted with respect to the humidifier’s recommended maintenance schedule.
    When “Change Pad” is displayed, you can clear it by pressing Clean Display.

  31. 49 & 50. Select Change Filter Run Time – This feature allows the thermostat to display “Change Filter” after a set time of blower operation. This is a reminder to change or clean your air filter. This time can be set from 25 to 1975 hours in 25-hour increments. A selection of OFF will cancel this feature. When “Change Filter” is displayed, you can clear it by pressing Clean Display. In a typical application, 200 hours of run time is approximately 30 days.

Hum On will appear indicating it is calling for the humidifier.
    *Note:  If Auto Schedule is displayed instead of Humidity,Auto Schedule must be turned off in the Configuration Menu.

Emergency Mode
Applies only to Heat Pump Systems
Emergency Heat (System EM Position) bypasses the Heat Pump to use the heat source wired to terminal W/E, W2 on the thermostat. EM is typically used when compressor operation is not desired, or you prefer backup heat only.

  1. Press the SYSTEM key to select EM. “EM Heat Mode” will flash on the display.
  2. Press to adjust the thermostat setting above room temperature. The Emergency heating system will begin to operate. The display will show “System On” flashing “EMHeat Mode” and “Heat” to indicate that the Emergencysystem is operating.
  3. Adjust temperature setting to 3° above room temperature. Any additional stages of auxiliary heat should begin to operate and the display will show “System On +2”.
  4. Press to adjust the thermostat below room temperature. The heating system should stop operating.

To prevent compressor and/or property damage, if the outdoor temperature is below 50°F, DO NOT operate the cooling system.

Cooling/Dehumidifier

  1. Press SYSTEM to select “Cool”.
  2. Press to adjust the thermostat setting below the room temperature. The blower should come on immediately at high speed, followed by cold air circulation. The display should show “System On”. If the setpoint temperature display is flashing, the compressor lockout feature is operating (see Configuration menu, item 11).
  3. Adjust the temperature setting to 3° below room temperature. The second stage of cooling should begin to operate and the display should show “System On +2”.
  4. Press to adjust the temperature setting above room temperature. The cooling system should stop operating.
    To check the dehumidifier when System On appears and the cooling system is running press the HUMIDITY* button once. Press to adjust the humidity to 2% or more below the room humidity level setpoint range. DeHum On will appear indicating it is calling for the dehumidification.
    If the room humidity is lower than the adjustment range, press to 40% and hold it for four seconds. This will force the DeHum On for one complete cooling cycle to test the dehumidification equipment.
    After adjusting the humidity setting the display will return to temperature in approximately 10 seconds. To switch the display back to temperature immediately after adjusting humidity setting press HUMIDITY again.
    *Note:  If Auto Schedule is displayed instead of Humidity, Auto Schedule must be turned off in the Configuration Menu.

Choose the Fan Setting (Auto or On or Prog)
There are two fan features on the 1F95-1291:

  1. Fan Auto/On – Traditional Fan Settings
    Press Fan to select Auto or On. The most commonly-used setting is Auto. Fan Auto runs the fan only when the heating or cooling system is operating. Selecting Fan On runs the fan continuously for increased air circulation or to allow additional air cleaning if the system is equipped with an Electronic Air Cleaner.

  2. FAN Prog – Comfort Circulating Fan Feature
    Pressing FAN until FAN Prog appears activates the Comfort Circulating Fan Option. This causes the thermostat to cycle the fan on for 10 minutes and off for 20 minutes if the thermostat has not called for heat or cool during the past 60 minutes. This assures moderate air circulation even when the heating and cooling equipment is not cycling.

Choose the System Setting
(Cool, Off, Heat, Em, Auto)
Press the SYSTEM key to select:

  • Cool: The thermostat controls only the cooling system.
  • Off: Heating and Cooling systems are off.
  • Heat: Thermostat controls only the heating system.
  • Em: Setting is available only when the thermostat is configured in HP1 or HP2 mode.
  • Auto: Auto Changeover is used in areas where both heating and cooling may be required on the same day. AUTO allows the thermostat to automatically select heating or cooling depending on the indoor temperature and the selected heat and cool temperatures. When using AUTO, be sure to set the Cooling temperatures more than 1° Fahrenheit higher than the heating temperature.

Manual Operation for
Non-Programmable Mode
Press the SYSTEM key to select “Heat” or “Cool” and use the keys to adjust the temperature to your desired setting. After selecting your desired settings you can also press the SYSTEM key to select AUTO to allow the thermostat to automatically change between “Heat” and “Cool”.
Manual Operation (Bypassing the Program)
Programmable Mode
The manual operation will bypass the program and allow you to adjust the temperature as you desire. The temperature you set in Hold will be maintained indefinitely. Press or adjust the temperature. The HOLD key will appear. Press the HOLD key. “Hold At” will appear next to the setpoint temperature and the thermostat will maintain the new setpoint temperature until Run Schedule is pressed to resume program operation.
Program Override (Temporary Override)
Press or keys to adjust the temperature. This will override the temperature setting for a (default) four-hour override period. The override period can be shortened by pressing or lengthened by pressing. The program Override period can range from 15 minutes to 7 days.
Example:  If you turn up the heat during the morning program, it will be automatically lowered later, when the temporary hold period ends. To cancel the temporary setting at any time and return to the program, press Run Schedule.
If the SYSTEM key is pressed to select AUTO the
thermostat will change to “Heat” or “Cool”, whichever ran last. If it switches to “Heat”, but you want “Cool”, or it changes to “Cool”, but you want “Heat”, press both keys simultaneously to change to the other mode.

Automatic Schedule
Auto Schedule Heat is a fast way to program all the heating temperatures during the day to a comfortable temperature and then lower the temperature 6° at night. Auto-Schedule Cool will program all of the cooling time periods to the same temperature.
Note:  Auto Schedule is available only when the thermostat is first powered on, after the thermostat has been reset, or anytime you turn AS on in the Configuration Menu (item 17 AS Heat or 18 AS Cool). After use in heating and cooling, Auto Schedule on the display will change to Humidity.
Heating Example:

  1. In Heat mode, press Auto Schedule once.
  2. Press or to select a comfortable day time temperature (example 72°).
  3. Press Auto Schedule again. Your thermostat is now programmed for 72° from 6:30 AM until 10:30 PM at 72°. At 10:30 PM, your thermostat will set back 6° to 66°.

Your heating program for each day of the week will look like this:

  • 6:30: 72°
  • 8:00:72°
  • 5:00:72°
  • 10:30:66°

Cooling Example:

  • In cool, press Auto Schedule once.

  • Press or to select a comfortable cooling temperature (example 75°).

  • Press Auto Schedule again. Your thermostat is now programmed for 75° for all cooling time periods.
    Your cooling program for each day of the week will look like this:

    • 6:30 75°
    • 8:00 75°
    • 5:00 75°
    • 10:30 75°

Programmable Fan Option
In the Set Schedule mode, the Fan key is used to select the fan operation during a program period. The default state of the Fan key is FAN Auto (fan runs during a call for cool but not on a call for heat). It can be changed to FAN Prog (fan runs during a program period). Each press of the FAN key will change the mode of the fan between Auto and Prog.
In the Run mode, when a program period that has FAN Prog begins, the fan will turn on and stay on during the complete period. The display will show FAN On Prog. Pressing the FAN key will change FAN On Prog to On (fan running continuously) or Auto. To return to FAN On Prog, press Run Schedule.

Energy Saving Factory Pre-Program
The 1F95-1291 thermostats are programmed with the energy saving settings shown in the table below for all days of the week. If this program suits your needs, simply set the thermostat clock and press the RUN key.
The table below shows the factory set heating and cooling schedule for all days of the week.

  • You can eliminate these two program periods in the configuration menu (reference #5) if the building is occupied all day.
    Day period will change to 6:00 AM and 70° and can be programmed as required.

Planning Your Program – Important
The Heating and Cooling Program schedules below allow you to pencil in your own program times and temperatures.
The 1F95-1291 comes configured for 7 day programming and can also be configured for 5+1+1 programming (see configuration section).
Factory settings are listed on Monday, Saturday and Sunday. If you are re- programming a 5+1+1 day schedule, pencil in your own times and temperatures directly below the factory times and temperatures.
If you are re-programming a 7 day schedule, fill in all lines with the times and temperatures you want.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when planning your program.

  • In Heating, lower temperatures will save energy.
  • In Cooling, higher temperatures will save energy.
  • If you plan on using Auto Changeover, do not program the heating temperature higher than the cooling temperature.

PROGRAMMING

Worksheet for Re-Programming 5+1+1 and 7 Day Program

Emerson-1F95-1291-Non-Programmable-Thermostat-fig.13

Wired Remote Temperature Sensing
One remote temperature sensor can be installed indoors or outdoors and connected to the thermostat by a maximum cable length of 100 meters (300 feet). Terminals +, S and – on the terminal block allow connection of the remote sensor. The thermostat must have a 24 VAC Common connection to terminal C for the remote sensor to operate. The remote sensor can be enabled or disabled in the Installer/Configuration menu, item 29.
When the remote sensor, Remote, is selected Off (factory default), no remote sensor is enabled. When the remote sensor is selected On, the next step is to select the remote as indoor, Remote In, or outdoor, Outdoor Remote. If the remote is selected as Remote In, an additional step will be to select if the temperature shown on the display will be from the thermostat, LS On, or the remote sensor LS Off.
In normal operation, when a remote sensor is enabled the time digits of the display will alternate between the time and the remote temperature for three seconds each. Above the remote temperature will be Remote, for indoor sensor or Outdoor Remote, for the outdoor sensor. If the remote sensor is an indoor sensor and the local display has been disabled, the temperature displayed as the room temperature will be the remote sensor temperature.
Sensing Range:

  • The outdoor temperature range is -40oF to 140oF
  • The indoor temperature range is 32oF to 99 oF

Averaging or Weighting Remote Sensors
The thermostat will weigh or average the temperature of the indoor remote sensor with the local sensor in the thermostat for each program period. The averaging will be active only when the local sensor and the indoor remote sensor are both functional and enabled in the Installer/Configuration menu.
When the thermostat is in the Set Schedule mode, the weight of the indoor sensor will be shown in the current temperature digits of the display. The weight will show as A2 (average and default), H4 (high) or L1 (low). Pressing the and keys at the same time will change the weight for the program period. The weight of the thermostat sensor is fixed.
In normal operation of the thermostat, the current temperature displayed will be the weighted average of the local sensor and the remote sensor using the formula (local sensor weight x local sensor temperature) + (remote sensor weight x remote sensor temperature) / (local sensor weight + remote sensor weight).
Example : Local sensor temperature is 80° and the remote sensor is 70°.

  • If weight is selected H4, the averaged temperature of 72° will be displayed.
    (1 x 80) + (4 x 70) / 5 = 72°

  • If weight is selected A2, the average temperature of 73° will be displayed.
    (1 x 80) + (2 x 70) / 3 = 73.3°

  • If weight is selected L1, the average temperature of 75° will be displayed.
    (1 x 80) + (1 x 70) / 2 = 75°

The example shows that the weight selected would prioritize the overall average temperature between the two sensors. The high weight selection caused the remote sensor to have a higher influence in the calculated temperature average than the local sensor and the low weight selection caused the remote sensor to have less influence.
Dual Fuel Temperature Setpoint
When the thermostat is configured for Heat Pump mode and the Dual Fuel feature is selected on, the thermostat can monitor the outside temperature using remote sensor F145-1378 or use software logic to determine when to switch to gas heat and shut down the compressor. This eliminates the need for a fossil fuel kit.
The user selectable temperature is called the dual fuel temperature setpoint, dF and is set in the Installer/Configuration menu, items 33 or 34. With outdoor remote sensor installed and enabled, the dual fuel temperature setpoint (menu item 33) can be set to a temperature of -5° through 50°. When outdoor remote sensor is not installed, a software logic based dual fuel number (menu item 34) from 01 to 09 can be selected. A higher temperature or dual fuel setting will provide a smaller stage separation between the heat pump and Aux to give more comfort. A lower temperature or number will provide a larger stage separation for more economy.
After the dual fuel temperature setpoint is set and is pressed, a delay, Cd, can be set for compressor shutdown after the auxiliary stage is energized. This delay can be set from 0 seconds to 99 seconds to minimize the time that the system may blow cooler air until the alternate source of heat comes on. Default setting for delay is 60. When setting the delay, if the or keys are held depressed, the setpoint will increase or decrease at the rate of one degree every half second for the first three seconds and double the speed after three seconds.
Blower Balance Point for Heating
Requires DHM connection from thermostat to heat pump system. Air to air heat pumps use a fast fan speed to circulate warm air for first stage heating. As outdoor temperatures drop, the heat pump produces less heat and a high fan speed makes the air from the ducts feel cooler. Blower Balance Point allows you to select an outdoor temperature to slow the fan speed so the air from the duct feels warmer. Select an outdoor temperature where the air from the ducts starts to feel cool (Installer Configuration Menu item 37). When the outdoor temperature drops to the selected temperature, the thermostat will slow the fan speed so the outlet air feels warmer.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Comfort Alert Codes
The Comfort Alert diagnostics product monitors the air conditioning outdoor systems with single-phase Copeland Scroll compressors. Abnormal system and electrical conditions are indicated by flashing ALERT codes on the yellow LED on the Comfort Alert module. The flash codes are transmitted to the thermostat by the Comfort Alert Thermostat interface module. The Comfort Alert compatible thermostat displays “Call For Service” that flashes at the same rate as the yellow LED on the Comfort Alert module.
