CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION
CONTINUED FROM THIRD PAGE
Before you begin programming your thermostat, you should be
familiar with its features and with the display and the location and
operation of the thermostat buttons. Your thermostat consists of
two parts: the thermostat cover and the base. To remove the
cover, gently pull it straight out from the base. To replace the
cover, line up the cover with the base and press gently until the
cover snaps onto the base.

Operating Features
Now that you are familiar with the thermostat buttons and display,
read the following information to learn about the many features of
the thermostat.
• SIMULTANEOUS HEATING/COOLING PROGRAM STOR-
AGE — When programming, you can enter both your heating
and cooling programs at the same time. There is no need to
reprogram the thermostat at the beginning of each season.
• TEMPERATURE OVERRIDE — Press or until the
display shows the temperature you want. The thermostat will
override current programming and keep the room tempera-
ture at the selected temperature until the next program period
begins. Then the thermostat will automatically revert to the
program.
• HOLD TEMPERATURE — The thermostat can hold any
temperature within its range for an indefinite period, without
reverting to the programmed temperature. Press HOLD
button. “HOLD” will be displayed. Then choose the desired
temperature by pressing or . The thermostat will
hold the room temperature at the selected setting until you
press the RUN button to start program operation again.
• ENERGY MANAGEMENT RECOVERY — Energy Manage-
ment Recovery (EMR) causes the thermostat to start heating
or cooling early to make the building temperature reach the
program setpoint at the time you specify. Heating will start 5
minutes early for every 1° of temperature required to reach
setpoint. Cooling will start approximately 15 minutes early for
every 1° because it takes longer to reach temperature.
Clipping W903 jumper will disable EMR.
Example: You select EMR and have your heating pro-
grammed to 65° at night and 70° at 7 AM. If the building
temperature is 65° the difference between 65° and 70° is 5°.
Allowing 5 minutes per degree the thermostat setpoint will
change to 70° at 6:35 AM.
•
°F/°C CONVERTIBILITY — The factory default setting is
Fahrenheit. Clipping W904 jumper on the circuit board (see
fig. 1) will alter this feature to Celsius temperature setting.
• LOW BATTERY INDICATOR — If the 2 “AAA” alkaline batter-
ies are low and should be replaced, the display will be blank
except for “LO BATTERY”. When the batteries are low,
pressing any button will cause the display to operate for ten
seconds. After ten seconds, the display will return to blank
except for “LO BATTERY”. After “LO BATTERY” has been
displayed for 4 weeks, the thermostat will raise the temperature
10 degrees above your setpoint on COOL mode and will drop
temperature 10 degrees below your setpoint on HEAT mode.
You cannot program with low batteries, but you can override
setpoint temperature.
