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 for future reference.

FEATURES

• The Unit can be used with most two stage heat and one stage cool heat pump systems. It cannot be used with 120 volt heating systems. 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 programs for weekdays and weekends
  • 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 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.
• The thermostat can be powered either by a common wire from the 24Vac transformer with two Energizer® or DURACELL® “AA” size alkaline batteries as backup or exclusively by two Energizer® or DURACELL® “AA” size alkaline batteries.
  

CAUTION

• Your thermostat is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care.
• Turn off electricity to the appliance before installing or servicing thermostat or any part of the system. Do not turn electricity back on until work is completed.
• Do not short (jumper) across electric terminals at control on 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

Please read all instructions carefully before beginning installation.

TOOLS REQUIRED

1 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

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.

REMOVING THE OLD THERMOSTAT

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

1.  Remove cover from 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 wall opening with non-combustible insulation to prevent drafts from affecting the thermostat.
3. Press up on the button on bottom of thermostat and swing the body away from the base and up to remove the body from the base.

CAUTION
Read instructions carefully before removing any wiring from existing thermostat. Wires must be labeled before they are removed. When removing wires from their terminals, ignore the color of the wires since these may not comply with the standard.

CAUTION
Be careful not to drop the body or disturb electronic parts. Leave the cover closed while the body is being 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 best appearance (to hide any marks from an old thermostat). Attach the base to the wall with the two screws provided

CAUTION
Do not allow wires to touch each other or parts on thermostat. Wires must betrapped between black spacer and brass terminal. Also, be sure to tighten securely all terminal screws.

ADVANCED FEATURES

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 variation is the “swing.”

Your system should cycle on about 3 to 6 times per hour. A smaller swing number increases the number of cycles, so room temperature is more constant. A larger swing number decreases the number of cycles, to save energy in most cases.

Dial must be in the run position

TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION

Rotate the dial to SET DAY/TIME

PROGRAM LOCK

To prevent tampering with set programs. The sequence of keys to lock and unlock the program:

NOTE
You must press “RESET” after enabling the features below. This will require you to reprogram your thermostat. Please copy your programs into the blank chart provided to assist reprogramming. Please reference the figure under “INSTALLING BATTERIES” which shows the JUMPER LOCATIONS

CHANGING FROM °F TO °C AND A 12HR CLOCK TO A 24HR CLOCK

WARNING: Making these changes will require you to reset the thermostat. Copy any of your customized programs onto the chart . This will be your reference to reenter the programs afterwards.

• To change to Celsius – remove jumper -J2.
• To change to a 24HR clock – remove jumper- J1.
• Press the reset key on the front of the thermostat for changes to take effect.
