2 Installation

Warning Disconnect power before beginning installation.

Thermostat Location
Install the thermostat approximately 5 feet (1.5m) above the floor in an area that has a good amount of air circulation and maintains an average room temperature.

Avoid installation in locations where the thermostat can be affected by drafts, dead air spots, hot or cold air ducts, sunlight, appliances, concealed pipes, chimneys and outside walls.

Install your new PROSTAT thermostat in 5 basic steps:

  1. Install the Sub-Base
  2. Provide Power
  3. Connect Your Wires
  4. Set Installer Switches
  5. Attach Thermostat to Sub-Base
1 Install the Sub-Base:
  • Remove the sub-base from the body of the thermostat.
  • Mount the sub-base as shown below:

Drill 3/16″ pilot holes in your desired location. Use supplied anchors for drywall or plaster.

2 Provide Power
  • For 24 Volt AC power , you must connect the common side of the transformer to the C terminal on the thermostat sub-base.
  • For primary or back-up power , insert the 2 supplied “AA” type alkaline batteries into the battery compartment located in the rear housing of the thermostat. Make sure to position the Positive (+) and Negative (-) sides of the batteries correctly with the +/- symbols in the battery compartment.

Table of User Options

No.| User Options| Factory Default| Setting Options| Comments
---|---|---|---|---
1| 1st stage differential| 0.5| 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0| Select a 1st stage temperature differential of .5˚, 1˚ or 2˚F (.2˚, .5˚ or 1˚C)
2| 2nd stage differential (PRS3210 only)| 2.0| 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 or 6.0| Select a 2nd stage temperature differential of 1˚, 2˚, 3˚, 4˚, 5˚ or 6˚F (.5˚, 1˚, 1.5˚, 2˚, 2.5˚ or 3˚C)

Detailed Explanation of User Options:

Temperature Differential
(User Option 1 and 2)

The differential setting is the temperature control range that your thermostat will provide. The smaller the setting, the tighter your range of temperature control and comfort will be. The 2nd stage differential is only for systems with a second stage of heating (auxiliary heat).

4 Operating Your Thermostat

Setting the System Control Mode

The System Control has several modes of operation that can be selected by moving the SYSTEM switch to the appropriate position.

COOL Only your cooling system will operate
OFF Heating and cooling systems are off.
HEAT Only your heating system will operate.

Additional Switch Position (Model PRS3210 Only):

EMER Operates a backup heat source (Emergency Heat) for heat pump systems only.

NOTE: If your model PRS3210 was configured for a conventional system (CONV) then you will not have the EMER (emergency heat) option and “NO EMER SET” will flash in the display if EMER is selected with the system switch.

Setting the Fan Control Mode

The Fan Control has 2 modes of operation -­ AUTO and ON. The mode can be selected by moving the FAN switch to the appropriate position.

AUTO The system fan will run only when your heating or cooling system is running.
ON The system fan stays on.

Temperature Adjustment

Press the or button to adjust the current set point temperature.

Status Indicators

Status indicators appear in the display to let you know if your system is heating, cooling or off.
HEAT ON Indicates your heating system is running.

Additional Status Indicators (Model PRS3210 Only):

AUX Indicates that the auxiliary stage of heating is running (Multi-Stage Systems only).
EMER Indicates that the emergency heating system is running (Heat Pump Systems only).

Resetting the Thermostat

This thermostat provides you with a reset button that will erase all of your user settings. To reset the thermostat, use a small object such as a tooth pick or paperclip and gently press the button located inside the small hole on the front of the thermostat housing labeled “reset”.

5 Additional Operation Features

Compressor Protection

This thermostat includes an automatic compressor protection delay to avoid potential damage to your system from short cycling. This feature activates a short delay after turning off the system compressor.

6 Thermostat Maintenance

Changing the Batteries

Depending on your particular installation, this thermostat may be equipped with two (2) “AA” type alkaline batteries.

If batteries are installed and they become low, a low battery indicator will appear in the display. You should change your batteries immediately when you see the low battery signal by following these instructions.

  1. Remove thermostat body by gently pulling it from base.
  2. Remove old batteries and replace with new batteries.
  3. Make sure to correctly position the (+) and (-) symbols.
  4. Gently push thermostat body back onto base.

NOTE: We recommend replacing the thermostat batteries annually or if the thermostat will be unattended for an extended period of time.

Thermostat Cleaning

Never spray any liquid directly on the thermostat. Using a soft damp cloth wipe the outer body of the thermostat. Never use any abrasive cleansers to clean your thermostat.

Store this manual for future reference.
