Install Thermostat

WARNING ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position. There may be more than 1 disconnect switch. Lock out and tag switch with a suitable warning label.

CAUTION ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation.
Improper wiring or installation may damage the thermostat Check to make sure wiring is correct before proceeding with installation or turning on unit.

1. Turn OFF all power to unit.
2. If an existing thermostat is being replaced:
   Remove existing thermostat from wall.
   Disconnect wires from existing thermostat, 1 at a time. Be careful not to allow wires to fall back into the wall.
   As each wire is disconnected, record wire color and terminal marking.
   Discard or recycle old thermostat.
   NOTE: Mercury is a hazardous waste and MUST be disposed of properly.
3. Open thermostat (mounting base) to expose mounting holes. The base can be removed to simplify mounting. Snap apart carefully to separate mounting base from remainder of thermostat.
   NOTE: If thermostat will not separate, insert a small screwdriver into top slots for ease of opening.
4. Route thermostat wires through large hole in mounting base. Level mounting base against wall (for aesthetic value only — thermostat need not be leveled for proper operation) and mark wall through 2 mounting holes.
5. Drill two 3/16” (5mm) mounting holes in wall where marked.
6. Secure mounting base to wall with 2 anchors and screws provided, (additional anchoring holes available for more se-cure mounting if needed) making sure all wires extend through hole in mounting base.
7. Adjust length and routing of each wire to reach proper ter-minal and connector block on mounting base with 1/4” (6mm) of extra wire. Strip only 1/4” (6mm) of insulation from each wire to prevent adjacent wires from shorting together when connected.
8. Match and connect equipment wires to proper terminals of the connector blocks. (See Table 1.)
9. Push any excess wire into wall and against mounting base. Seal hole in wall to prevent air leaks. Leaks can affect operation.
10. Snap case back together.
11. Close thermostat assembly making sure pins on back of circuit board align with sockets in connector.
12. Turn ON power to unit.
    NOTE: If a common wire has not been connected, two AA batteries must be used to power the thermostat.
    Make sure the customer is informed about changing the batteries every 12 months, if a common wire is not available.
    If a common wire is connected, then batteries are not needed for any reason. Batteries may be installed if desired but the thermostat will not draw power from them.

Set Thermostat Configuration

Configuration options are intended to be selected at installation and are normally not modified by the home owner. These options are not discussed in the Homeowner’s Guide and therefore must be made as part of the installation. A special procedure allows entry into the configuration mode. The thermostat will automatically exit this mode if no button is pressed for 3 minutes. While in the configuration mode, up to 14 option choices can be made:

• Option 01: Anticipator setting
• Option 02: Clean filter setting
• Option 03: Fahrenheit or Celsius selection
• Option 04: Enable fan (G) on with W output
• Option 05: HP / AC
• Option 07: Enable zoning
• Option 10: O (reversing valve) ON with Heat or Cool (present on Heat Pump models only)
• Option 13: Room temperature offset adjustment
• Option 15: Enable AUTO mode
• Option 18: Backlight Configuration
• Option 19: Equipment Present
• Option 21: Keypad Lockout
  An explanation for each of these and how to enter the configuration mode follows.

To enter the configuration mode:
To enter Configuration Mode, hold the FAN button down for approximately 15 seconds. After the 15 second period, Option “01” will appear in the display and the SERVICE icon will be turned on.
NOTE: If the FAN button is pressed again or if no button is pressed for 3 minutes, the thermostat will exit the configuration mode and return to normal operation. To reenter the configuration mode, the FAN button must be pressed and held for 15 seconds again.

While in configuration mode:
The display is used to show both the option number and the selection choice within that option.

OPTION 01 — ANTICIPATOR ADJUSTMENT
This adjustment controls the sensitivity and cycle rate of the thermostat. Higher numbers decrease the sensitivity and slow the cycle rate. Lower numbers increase sensitivity and increase cycle rate. However, a limiting feature will not allow more than 6 equipment cycles per hour, regardless of setting. Values can range from 1 to 9. Factory default setting is 3. This default selection will provide optimum performance in nearly all installations. Try it first. Do not change setting unless there is evidence of need to do so.
Unlike conventional anticipators, this setting is not to be determined by current draw. There is no need to measure, know, or compensate for current. There is also no droop with this thermostat, regardless of anticipator setting. This adjustment controls only sensitivity and cycle rate up to the maximum of 6 cycles per hour.

OPERATIONAL INFORMATION

Five–minute Compressor Timeguard 
The cycle timer limits the number of times the heating or cooling equipment can be energized in one hour. If option 1 is set to a value of 1 or 2, the equipment will be allowed to energize up to six times per hour. If option 1 s set to 3 or greater, then the equipment will be allowed to energize up to four times per hour. This timer is defeated for 1 cycle when the desired temperature is manually changed. It can also be defeated for 1 cycle by simultaneously pressing the FAN button and the INCREASE TEMPERATURE button.

Cycle Timer
This timer prevents the start of a heating or cooling cycle until at least 15 minutes after the last start of the same cycle. Its function is to assure that equipment is not cycled more than 4 times per hr. This timer is defeated for 1 cycle when the desired temperature is manually changed. It can also be defeated for 1 cycle by simultaneously pressing the FAN mode button and the INCREASE TEMPERATURE button.

Staging Timer
In multistage heating or cooling, this timer prevents any higher stage from turning on until the preceding stage has been on for 15 minutes. This timer is defeated if the temperature error is greater than 5_F/3_C (usually due to a large change in desired temperature).

Three–minute Minimum On Time
In normal operation, when a stage turns on, it will not turn off for a minimum of 3 minutes.
Heat/Cool Setpoints (Desired Temperatures)
A minimum difference of 2_ is enforced between heating and cooling setpoints. This is done by allowing one setting to “push” the other, to maintain this difference.

Auto Changeover
When the auto changeover mode is selected, a change from heat to cool (or vice versa) will not occur until an opposite mode demand has existed for 20 minutes. If the setpoint is changed, the 20 minute requirement is deleted. Auto mode may be disabled.

Emergency Heat Mode
When thermostat is configured as a heat pump and emergency heat mode is selected, all Y signals are locked out and W becomes energized upon a call for heat.

Heat On and Cool On Icons
When a heating or cooling demand exists, the HEAT ON or COOL ON icon will either remain on or flash. If flashing, the equipment is temporarily prevented from turning on by one of the timers (see above). While the icon remains on without flashing, the equipment is on.

Power On Check
When AC power is first applied, all segments of the display are turned on for a few seconds. Following this, the temperature display indicates the model/configuration via the following 2 digit code: AC—1–speed air conditioner, HP—1–speed heat pump.

Error Codes
—- — If the thermostat cannot properly read room temperature, the display will indicate —- (2 dashes) and all outputs (except the fan if on) will turn off. This is to prevent operation of the equipment if the thermostat has failed.
E2 — If the AC line voltage drops below a minimum (brownout) level, all outputs are turned off and the display indicates E2. This condition will remain for 15 sec after proper line voltage is restored. If the AC line voltage disappears completely, the display will immediately go blank.

Thermostat Troubleshooting

SYMPTOM	WHAT TO CHECK
Blank LCD	Check for 24vac between R and C at terminal connections or battery.
“—– ” (2 dashes) on temperature display	Temperature sensor reading out of range. Check sensor for damage. If recycling power does not clear display, thermostat should be replaced.
“E2” on temperature display	Brownout condition or too low of voltage to thermostat. Double check wiring and check for 24vac between R and C. E2 will clear 15 sec after proper voltage is restored.
“SERVICE FILTER” on temperature display	After the selected number of hour of blower operation “FILTER” will display on LCD. This is to remind the homeowner to “check” the filter. Press RESET FILTER button to clear display and reset timer to 0.
Cooling will not come on	Select COOL mode. Set desired temperature to 10˚F below room temper- ature. Simultaneously press FAN and INCREASE TEMPERATURE buttons to defeat timers. Check for COOL ON icon and 24vac at Y (first – stage) terminal. If present, thermostat is OK and problem is with equipment or wiring. If not present, replace thermostat.
Heating will not come on	Select HEAT mode. Set desired temperature to 10˚F/6˚C above room temperature. Simultaneously press FAN and INCREASE TEMPERATURE buttons to defeat timers. Check for HEAT ON and 24vac at Y (first – stage) terminal (with heat pump) or W (with air conditioner) terminal. If present, thermostat is OK and problem is with equipment or wiring. If not present, replace thermostat.

Auto changeover makes life easier because you no longer have to manually switch the thermostat between heating or cooling operation. Just set your heating and cooling set points and let the system do the rest!
NOTE: If auto changeover is not necessary in your area of the country, your installer may disable the AUTO mode feature.

WHAT IF…

The AUXILIARY HEAT indicator is displayed…
The AUX HEAT indicator appears on the heat pump version of the thermostat only. It is displayed when your system is operating on auxiliary heat.
NOTE: This indicator does not reflect a problem with your system.

The SERVICE FILTER indicator is displayed…
The SERVICE FILTER indicator tells you when to clean or replace your air filter. Press the RESET FILTER button after cleaning or replacing the filter to turn off the indicator and reset the system.
NOTE: This indicator does not reflect a problem with your system.

You have a system error message…
The temperature sensor failure indicator sends a “—-” reading to the LCD display. This means your thermostat’s temperature sensor is no longer able to measure temperatures. You will need to contact your dealer to repair the problem.
An E2 reading on the LCD display means there is not enough voltage for the system to operate. Contact your dealer for further information.
If the outdoor air temperature sensor is absent, the outdoor temperature reading will be “—-”.

The batteries are low…
If the batteries are low, the display will indicate a low battery signal on the thermostat. Replace the batteries with two AA alkaline batteries.
NOTE: If the product is hard–wired by the installer, the batteries will never have to be replaced.

COMMON TERMS

Auxiliary Heat
Most heat pump systems require a supplemental heating source, called auxiliary heat, to maintain your comfort when outdoor temperatures fall significantly. Your thermostat lets you know when your home is being warmed with supplemental heat.

Service Filter
Your system’s air filter will require regular cleaning to reduce the dirt and dust in the system and your indoor air. The SERVICE FILTER indicator lets you know when it’s time to clean the filter.

Fan
Your system’s fan can run continuously or only as called for during heating or cooling. Continuous operation helps with air circulation and cleaning. Automatic operation provides energy savings. Press the FAN button to make your choice.

Mode
Mode refers to the type of operation your system is set up to perform. Mode settings include: OFF, HEAT, COOL, and AUTO. Heat pump systems also include EMERGENCY HEAT (EHEAT).

Reset Filter
The reset filter function turns off the SERVICE FILTER indicator and restarts the system. Press the RESET FILTER button after you’ve cleaned and replaced the system’s air filter.

Set Point
The heating and cooling temperature set points you wish the system to maintain and have entered into the thermostat. The actual room temperature will automatically be displayed, but you can check the desired temperature by pressing either the UP or DOWN button. While the SET TEMP indicator is lit, press the MODE button to display the desired temperature set points for the other mode.

Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensor measures the current indoor or outdoor temperatures which are displayed on the thermostat.

Up and Down Buttons
These buttons are used to set your desired temperature set points.
