CHANGE HOME, SLEEP AND AWAY TEMPERATURE PRE-SETS

  1. Move SYSTEM switch to HEAT position.
  2. Using the or  button, set the desired temperature.
  3. Press and hold the Home, Sleep, or Away button for 3 seconds. The display will go blank (except for the battery icon and heat/cool icon) and back on again indicating that the thermostat has saved your pre-set.
  4. Repeat the process for the remaining Pre-sets to be changed.
  5. Move SYSTEM switch to COOL to Pre-set Temperatures for cooling.

USE HOME, SLEEP AND AWAY TEMPERATURE PRE-SETS

  1. Press the Home, Sleep, or Away button. The display will show the icon for the button pressed and display the temperature setting.
  2. The thermostat will maintain the selected pre-set temperature until you change it by pressing the or  button or selecting another Pre-set Temperature.

SLEEP TIMER OPTION

The sleep timer will automatically change the thermostat from the Sleep to Home temperature after the number of hours set in the configuration menu. The Sleep timer default is 8 hours and can be changed to a setting between 1 to 12 hours.

EXAMPLE: You have selected 8 hours for the Sleep timer in the configuration menu. Press the Sleep button, the thermostat will maintain the sleep temperature for 8 hours. After 8 hours the thermostat will go back to the Home temperature. The Sleep timer will be activated each time the sleep button is pressed.

CHANGE FILTER REMINDER OPTION

The thermostat can display a reminder when it is time to change the air filter on your heating and cooling system. The Change Filter will automatically display after the number of hours set in the configuration menu. The change filter reminder time default is 200 hours and can be changed to a setting of 25 to 1975 hours; 200 hours is approximately 3 months.

EXAMPLE: You have selected 250 hours for the change filter reminder. The thermostat will display change filter after 250 it has counted down 250 hours. When “Change Filter” is displayed, press the  or  button to clear the display and restart the timer.

COOL SAVINGS™ OPTION

With Cool Savings enabled, the thermostat will make small adjustments to the desired temperature during periods of high demand to reduce cooling system running time and save energy. When the cooling system has been running for more than 20 minutes, humidity in the home will be lower and a higher temperature will feel comfortable. After 20 minutes of run time, the thermostat will start increasing the desired temperature in steps of less than one degree as the system continues to run. These adjustments will eventually cause the system to satisfy the thermostat and turn the system off to reduce the energy consumption. When the Cool Savings feature is active and making adjustments, the display will flash “Save”. The amount of

adjustments to the desired temperature is dependent on the Cool Savings value that is set, 1 being the least adjustment and 6 being the most adjustment. With this feature set to OFF, no change will occur when the cooling system is continuously running during the periods of high demand. Periods of high demand will normally occur during the late afternoon and early evening on the hottest days of the summer.

FAQs

I have 7 wires. Is this compatible?****

yes, I’m using it on a heat pump works fine.

is there a wall plate?****

There isn’t a back-plate included with this thermostat.

When aux. heat is activated? in emer. mode of course but that’s all? does it also turn on under certain conditions in heat mode? thank you!!****

Aux heat will come on in the heat mode when heat pump is unable to satisfy the set temp.

Is this thermostat compatible with a 4 wire hook up?****

Yes, it is.

Is this compatible with a Trane Hvac?****

I have it installed on a Trane Heat pump that has electric heat as a backup. (An all-electric home) Haven’t touched in years. I really like the Temperature set beck feature.

Is there a way to “jump out” the em? mode when it’s in normal heat mode? Will not turn on heat coils in heat mode.****

The one I have is for a hear pump type system. On regular heat the compressor does the hearing. On EMG heat that’s the coils that use 220v. So through the thermostat, no not really, for a hear pump that is. You can in the unit itself . But call someone for that.

This is to let you know the size is incorrect online. This unit is 4.5 x 3.5 not 6.2 x 4.5. I bought it for the size, to cover my holes, so I am not****

I believe that the larger dimension is the size of box that it comes in.

What degree should my heat pump’s thermostat be set to?****

The ideal temperature for comfort and energy efficiency during the fall and winter, according to the Department of Energy, is 68°F.

What heat pump setting is the most cost-effective?****

There are three summer heat pump modes. The least energy-intensive option is “fan,” which may be sufficient when you just need a little respite, but it won’t cool the room, so remember to turn it off before leaving.

Is maintaining a heat pump’s temperature constant preferable?****

An alternative is a heat pump. It operates most effectively when a certain temperature is maintained. Choose the appropriate setting, then leave it alone so that it can function.

What is a typical thermostat issue?****

A typical thermostat problem that frequently causes the temperature to never reach the desired level.

How can I tell whether my thermostat is functioning correctly?****

common thermostats: Ask a friend or family member to help. Have one person stand by the furnace and the other by the thermostat. Turn the thermostat gradually to the heat setting to raise the temperature.

How can you tell whether your thermostat is set properly?****

The accuracy and efficiency of the thermostat are good if it displays the same temperature as your thermometer.

Is 72 a good heat setting for the winter?****

When you’re at home in the winter, the best thermostat setting is 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
