Installation

Location

The 302 and 303 is designed for installation in climate-controlled living spaces. Place the unit in a central location with good circulation.
For proper temperature sensing, avoid exposing the 302 and 303 to heat radiated from lamps, sunlight, fireplaces or any other radiant heat source.
Avoid locations close to windows, behind doors or alcoves with poor air circulation, adjoining outside walls, or doors that lead to the outside.
Select a location that prevents the 302 and 303 from being directly exposed to air currents from supply registers or ceiling fans. Mount the Control on a section of the interior wall that does not contain hot or cold water pipes or ductwork.

American-Standard-ACONT302-Touchscreen-Thermostat-Installation-Guide-FIG-1

Mounting / Installation

Follow these steps to mount the 302 and 303 Control to the wall.

  1. Turn OFF all power to heating and cooling equipment.
  2. If an existing thermostat is being replaced:
    • Remove the existing thermostat from the wall.
    • Record color and terminal marking of each wire.
    • Disconnect the wires from the existing thermostat being careful not to allow them to fall back into the wall.
  3. Pull the thermostat body off the thermostat base. Forcing or prying on the thermostat will cause damage to the unit.
  4. Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole locations on wall using base as template. (See Fig. 1)
  5. 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.
  6. Fasten base snugly to wall using the mounting holes shown in Figure 1 and two mounting screws. Leveling is for appearance only and will not affect thermostat operation.
    1. Connect wires to the terminal block on the base using the appropriate wiring diagram.
  7. Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire-resistant material (such as fiberglass insulation) to prevent drafts from affecting thermostat operation.
  8. Carefully line the thermostat up with the base and snap into place.

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

Battery Location
Two “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 the system to OFF, remove the thermostat from the wall and install the batteries in the rear along the top of the thermostat (see Figure 2). 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 American-Standard-ACONT302-Touchscreen-Thermostat-Installation-Guide-FIG-2is displayed, the batteries should be replaced before leaving.

Power Stealing Switch
The power stealing switch is set to OFF. Placing the switch in the ON position may extend battery life. Power stealing is not compatible with every furnace. Cycle the furnace and verify the inducer and/or indoor blower do not run continuously or with no call for heat. If they do, return the switch to OFF position.

American-Standard-ACONT302-Touchscreen-Thermostat-Installation-Guide-FIG-27American-Standard-ACONT302-Touchscreen-Thermostat-Installation-Guide-FIG-28

  1. This control can be configured for:
    • MS2 – Multi-Stage System (2 heat/2 cool)
    • HP1 – Heat Pump with one stage of 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 – Heat, Cool, EM The factory default setting is fast cycle (FA Cr) in all modes (Heat, Cool, Em). To change to slow cycling (SL, Cr), press touch keysAmerican-Standard-ACONT302-Touchscreen-Thermostat-Installation-Guide-FIG-25 orAmerican-Standard-ACONT302-Touchscreen-Thermostat-Installation-Guide-FIG-26 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 On) will cause the thermostat to complete heating and/or cooling cycles on the highest stage engaged during the cycle. 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 the default (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.
  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 calibrated at the factory, however you have the option to change the display temperature value to match the previous thermostat, if you so prefer.
  13. Select °F or °C Readout – Changes the display readout to Celsius or Fahrenheit as required. Select Audio Prompting (Beeper) On or Off – Factory default setting is b, On. If you wish to turn off the beeper
    select OFF.
  14. 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.
  15. Select Automatic Schedule – Heat Mode –
  16. Select Automatic Schedule – Cool Mode – 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 the Programming section.
  17. 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 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, “Coo  Savings” will flash on the display.
    The principle of this energy1 or 2 Stage AC with TEM61 or 2 Stage AC with TEM61 or 2 Stage AC with TEM61 or 2 Stage AC with TEM61 or 2 Stage AC with TEM6 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.
  18. Compressor Optimization – (Not available on earlier models) CO provides a delay in circulator fan operation 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.
  19. Comfort Alert with Active Protection – (For systems that use Comfort Alert.) 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. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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 American-Standard-ACONT302-Touchscreen-Thermostat-Installation-Guide-FIG-23to advance the menu.

  23. 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 American-Standard-ACONT302-Touchscreen-Thermostat-Installation-Guide-FIG-23you 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 American-Standard-ACONT302-Touchscreen-Thermostat-Installation-Guide-FIG-23you 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.
  24. Select Remote Temperature Sensor Enabled – ON enables a remote sensor connected to the thermostat and displays the sensor temperature in the clock digits. OFF (default) indicates no remote sensor connected or enabled.
  25. Select Remote Sensor as Indoor or Outdoor – If 30 is enabled, select Indoor or Outdoor Remote. Default is Remote Indoor.
  26. 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.
  27. 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.
  28. 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 temperatures in the home.
  29. 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.
  30. Select Compressor Delay (Cd) – For use with Dual Fuel System. 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.
  31. 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:
    • Press any key to retry the pump and erase the “call for service icon.
    • When setpoint is achieved on Auxiliary, system will return to heat pump operation on next call for heat.
      From this point on screen reference numbers are specific to either the 302 or the 303 model
  32. 38. (303 ONLY) 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.

  35. (303 ONLY) 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.
  36. (303 ONLY) 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.
  37. 303 ONLY) 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.

Wired Remote Temperature Sensing

One remote temperature sensor can be installed indoor or outdoor 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 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 remote sensor, Remote, is selected Off (factory default), no remote sensor is enabled. When 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 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:

  • Outdoor temperature range is -40oF to 140oF
  • Indoor temperature range is 32oF to 99 oF

Averaging or Weighting Remote Sensors

The thermostat will weight 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). PressingAmerican-Standard-ACONT302-Touchscreen-Thermostat-Installation-Guide-FIG-25 theAmerican-Standard-ACONT302-Touchscreen-Thermostat-Installation-Guide-FIG-26 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 the 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 averaged 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 the 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

Reset Operation
Note: If a voltage spike or static discharge blanks out the display or causes erratic thermostat operation, you can reset the thermostat by removing the thermostat from the wall plate and removing batteries for 2 minutes. After two minutes, replace the batteries and replace thermostat on wall plate. If the thermostat has been reset and still does not function correctly contact your heating/cooling service person or place of purchase

Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action
No Heat/No Cool/No Fan (common problems) 1. Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.

2. Furnace power switch to OFF.

3. Furnace blower compartment door or panel loose or not properly installed.

4. Loose connection to thermostat or system.

Replace fuse or reset breaker. Turn switch to ON.

Replace door panel in proper position to engage safety interlock or door switch. Tighten connections.

No Heat 1. Pilot light not lit.

2. Furnace Lock-Out Condition. Heat may also be intermittent.

 

3. Heating system requires service or thermostat requires replacement.

Re-light pilot.

Many furnaces have safety devices that shut down when a lock-out condition occurs. If the heat works intermittently contact the furnace manufacturer or local HVAC service person for assistance.

Diagnostic: Set SYSTEM Switch to HEAT and raise the setpoint above room temperature. Within a few seconds the thermostat should make a soft click sound. This sound usually indicates the thermostat is operating properly. If the thermostat does not click, try the reset operation listed above. If the thermostat does not click after being reset contact your heating and cooling service person or place of purchase for a replacement. If the thermostat clicks, contact the furnace manufacturer or a HVAC service person to verify the heating is operating correctly.

No Cool 1. Cooling system requires service or thermostat requires replacement. Same as diagnostic for No Heat condition except set the thermostat to COOL and lower the setpoint below the room temperature. There may be up to a five minute delay before the thermostat clicks in Cooling.
Heat, Cool or Fan Runs Constantly 1. Possible short in wiring.

2. Possible short in thermostat.

3. Possible short in heat/cool/fan system.

4. FAN Switch set to Fan ON.

Check each wire connection to verify they are not shorted or touching together. No bare wire should stick out from under terminal block. Try resetting the thermostat as described above. If the condition persists the manufacturer of your system or service person can instruct you on how to test the Heat/Cool system for correct operation. If the system operates correctly, replace the thermostat.
Thermostat Setting & Thermostat Thermometer Disagree 1. Thermostat thermometer setting requires adjustment. The thermometer can be adjusted +/- 4 degrees. See Temperature Display Adjustment in the Configuration Menu section.
Furnace (Air Conditioner) Cycles Too Fast or Too Slow (narrow or wide temperature swing) 1. The location of the thermostat and/or the size of the Heating System may be influencing the cycle rate. Digital thermostats provide precise control and cycle faster than older mechanical models. The system turns on and off more frequently but runs for a shorter time so there is no increase in energy use. If you would like an increased cycle time, choose SL for slow cycle in the Configuration menu, step 7 (heat) or 8 (cool). If an acceptable cycle rate is not achieved, contact a local HVAC service person for additional suggestions.
Forgot Keypad Lockout Code Press the menu key (key will disappear) and hold in for 20 seconds. This unlocks the thermostat.
Blank display any or keypad not responding 1. Voltage Spike or static discharge Use the Reset Operation shown above.
Thermostat does not have Menu Screen Numbers 1. Earlier version of thermostat To access the earlier version instruction sheet (37-6914E) go to www.white-rodgers.com, enter 1F95-1291 in Model Number Search
