Pressing the up/down buttons in Auto mode will adjust both the heat and cool set point temperatures simultaneously. Pressing the up/down buttons in Heat or Cool modes will adjust only the heat or cool set point temperature.

Override

Bryant-53DFS250-SL-BRY-Programmable-Digital-Thermostat-Owner-Manual-fig-8

During programming, unoccupied periods a press of the Override button will force the thermostat into Occupied 1 comfort settings, temporarily. With each successive push of the Override button, the override timer will add 30 minutes, until the maximum of 4 hours is reached. Then the next press will zero out the override timer, returning to unoccupied if there are no further button presses. When in Override, the Override icon and the Occupied 1 icon appear on the display.
The time of day clock alternates with the time remaining in override. During Override, the set point temperatures are adjustable, provided the keypad is not locked.

Programming Occupied and Unoccupied Periods

Bryant-53DFS250-SL-BRY-Programmable-Digital-Thermostat-Owner-Manual-fig-9Bryant-53DFS250-SL-BRY-Programmable-Digital-Thermostat-Owner-Manual-fig-10

The copy command becomes available after the maximum number of occupied periods are programmed in a day. This example uses 1 as the maximum occupied period ever programmed in one day.

Bryant-53DFS250-SL-BRY-Programmable-Digital-Thermostat-Owner-Manual-fig-11

Selecting Yes, then the pressing mode will copy the previous day’s program and then will ask the same copy question again. If yes is selected each time, this routine will repeat until Saturday is copied to Sunday. After Saturday is copied to Sunday, the copy command is unavailable.

Bryant-53DFS250-SL-BRY-Programmable-Digital-Thermostat-Owner-Manual-fig-12vBryant-53DFS250-SL-BRY-Programmable-Digital-Thermostat-Owner-Manual-fig-13

Selecting Yes, then the pressing mode will copy the previous day’s program and then will ask the same copy question again. If yes is selected each time, this routine will repeat until Saturday is copied to Sunday. After Saturday is copied to Sunday, the copy command is unavailable. If no is selected, as in previous steps, flashing prompts for input will appear for start and stop times for Occupied 1. If more than one occupied period was selected in Step 1 on page 3, then cool/heat set point temperatures, and start/stop times for additional occupied periods will be prompted.

PROGRAMMING NOTES

  • If only 1 Occupied period is selected in step 1 on page 3, Occupied 2 and 3 programming steps are skipped. Further, if only 2 occupied periods are selected, Occupied 3 programming steps are skipped.
  •  Heat and Cool set points for Occupied 1 are the same for every day of the week. Heat and Cool set points for Occupied 2 and 3 can be
    adjusted differently for each day of the week if desired.
  •  If the start time is set later in the day than the stop time, the program will run from the start time to midnight and from midnight to the stop time on the same day. For example, 9:00 pm start, and 8:00 am stop, on Monday. In this example, the program will run from 12:00 am Monday to 8:00 am Monday and again from 9:00 pm Monday to 12:00 pm Monday.
  • The Unoccupied settings take effect at all times when: (1) the program is on and (2) the current time is outside a preset occupied period. For this reason, start and stop times are not necessary for unoccupied.
  • If the same start and stop times are programmed in for an occupied period, then it will run for 24 hours.
  • If one occupied period starts and stops within another occupied period the lower occupied number has priority. For example: If Occupied 3 is programmed to be “on” 24 hours and Occupied 2 is programmed to run that day, then Occupied 2 settings will take over from Occupied 3 between Occupied 2 start and stop times.
  • To program Occupied 2 and Occupied 3 modes repeat the programming steps for Occupied 1.

About Advanced Features and Operation

  • CLOCK BACKUP — In the event of a power loss, the thermostat’s internal clock will continue to keep proper time for a minimum of 48 hours without external power or batteries.
  • TWO-STAGE OPERATION — The Second Stage of heat (Heat pump models only) is turned on when (1) the first Stage has been on for a minimum of two minutes, and (2) the temperature spread from the set point is equal to or greater than the set point plus the deadband, plus 2 degrees.Bryant-53DFS250-SL-BRY-Programmable-Digital-Thermostat-Owner-Manual-fig-17
  • MINIMUM HEAT/COOL SET POINT DIFFERENCE —The Heat and Cool set points will not be allowed to come any closer to each other than the value set in Advanced Setup Step 5, on page 4. This minimum difference is enforced during the Auto changeover and Program On operation.
  • ENERGY SAVING SMART FAN — If Fan On is selected, the fan will run continuously at all times, except in Off, and will only run if there is a heating or cooling demand in Unoccupied periods.
  • OVERRIDE — As explained on page 3, pressing the Override button during a programmed, Unoccupied period will force the thermostat into Occupied 1, temporarily, up to 4 hours. If the Override button is pressed during an Occupied period, the thermostat will be forced into Unoccupied, and the occupied number (1,2 or 3), it was forced out of will be turned off, only for that day.
  • During Override periods the set points may be adjusted, but they will not be remembered after Over-ride ends.
  • HEAT — First Stage = Heat Pump. Second Stage = Heat Pump and Electric Heat.
  • FAN PURGE TIMER — When this feature is activated, the fan will turn on during Unoccupied at a preset amount of time prior to Occupied 1. This preoccupancy fan purge timer may be set as instructed on page 4, Step 12, from 0 to 3 hours. 0 = this feature turned off.
  • KEYPAD LOCK — To prevent unauthorized use of the thermostat, the front panel buttons may be disabled. To disable, or ‘lock’ the keypad, press and hold the Mode button. While holding the Mode button in,simultaneously press the Up and Down buttons. The Locked icon will appear on the display.Bryant-53DFS250-SL-BRY-Programmable-Digital-Thermostat-Owner-Manual-fig-18
  • To unlock the buttons, again press and hold the Mode button. While holding the Mode button in, simultaneously press the Up and Down buttons in together. The Locked icon will disappear from the display.
  • DRY CONTACT SWITCH — The terminals are ‘normally open’. Closing or completing the circuit will cause the thermostat to enter Occupied 1. This feature allows an external device such as a Central Time Clock, Occupancy Sensor, or Telephone activated device to force 1 or more thermostats into Occupied 1. For the Dry Contact to work the thermostat must be in Program On. SetOccupied1toOff for all 7 days, so the Contact closure will be in control. When the thermostat is forced into Occupied 1 via the Dry Contact closure, the icon Occupied 1 will blink.Bryant-53DFS250-SL-BRY-Programmable-Digital-Thermostat-Owner-Manual-fig-19
  • HOLIDAY MODE — This feature forces the thermostat into Unoccupied for a preset duration, up to 99 days. The Holiday setup display is entered as follows:Bryant-53DFS250-SL-BRY-Programmable-Digital-Thermostat-Owner-Manual-fig-20

The thermostat will enter Holiday mode when the clock crosses midnight. During Holiday mode Unoccupied set points are enforced. The Override button is active during Holiday mode. It will override to Occupied 1 setting up to 4 hours then return to Holiday mode. The Dry Contact Switch is ignored. The thermostat will exit Holiday mode at midnight of the final programmed day. To terminate Holiday immediately, enter the Holiday setup screen and select 0.

  • SOFT START — This feature is utilized in multiple thermostat installations controlled by the Dry Contact terminals. Assigning a unique Soft Start number to each thermostat will stagger the turn-on times, even though the Dry Contact closes, for all the thermostats connected, at the same time. Each Soft Start number represents a multiple of 30 seconds from the Dry Con-tact closure. For example, 1 = turn on 30 seconds after Dry Contact closure, 2 = turn on 60 seconds after closure, 3 = turn on 90 seconds after closure, and so on. See page 4, Step 13, to configure the thermostat for Soft Start.
  • DUAL SET POINT BEHAVIOR — The adjustable set point range is: 35 to 99 degrees in Fahrenheit and 7 to 35 degrees in Celsius. When in the modes Heat or Cool, this adjustable range is unhampered.
    When adjusting any Auto mode, including programming Occupied and Unoccupied periods, the thermostat will not allow the Heat set point to get closer to the Cool set point than the value programmed as the minimum difference in Step 5, page 4.
  • When entering the Auto mode from Cool, the Heat and Cool set point temperatures will remain spread apart by the amount that they were adjusted, prior to entering Auto. For example: If the Cool set point was set to 80 while in the Cool mode and the Heat set point was adjusted to 70 while in the Heat mode, upon entering the Auto mode the Heat and Cool set points would be 80 and 70. Both set points would then move up and down together, (in this example spread by 10 degrees), by pressing the up or down buttons.
  • To move the Heat and Cool set points closer together, enter the Cool or Heat mode by pressing the Mode button, then adjust the set point(s) closer together. Heat is limited to how close it can come to Cool by Step 5, page 4.
  • REMOTE SENSORS (Optional Accessory) — When connected to terminals RS+5, RS, and GND on the back of the thermostat, the thermostat will read the temperature from the Remote Sensor and ignore the temperature sensor inside the thermostat. The thermostat automatically recognizes when a Remote Sensor is connected. When reading the temperature from the remote, the degree icon above the room temperature blinks once a second. The Override button on the
  • Remote Sensor works slightly differently than the Override button on the front panel. With each press of the Optional Sensor, the ‘External’ Override button adds 2 hours to the override timer. If the timer was already active, the first button press will round the runtime to either 2:00 or 4:00.
  • Subsequent button presses will not wrap around as the Override button on the thermostat does, so the second or greater button press will set the runtime to 4:00. The Locked feature has no effect on the external Override button. The wired Remote Sensor is connected to the thermostat with up to 500 ft of 20 ga. or 300 ft of 18 ga. thermostat wire. See the Remote Sensor instructions for further details.
  • FACTORY DEFAULTS — Before restoring factory defaults, set the thermostat to OFF mode. If, for any reason, it is desirable to return all stored settings back to the factory default settings, press the Mode button. While holding the Mode button in, press the Fan button for 5 sec. All icons will appear. Press and hold in the Fan button until Fd appears. This resets all factory settings. To calibrate room temperature, press the Up and Down buttons at the same time twice. At this point use the Up and Down buttons to calibrate room tem-perature, if needed. Press the Mode button to return to normal operation.
