INSTALLATION

REMOVE OLD THERMOSTAT

  1. Shut off electricity at the main fuse box until installation is complete. Ensure that the electrical power is disconnected.
  2. Remove the front cover of the old thermostat. With wires still attached, remove the wall plate from the wall. If the old thermostat has a wall mounting plate, remove the thermostat and the wall mounting plate as an assembly. Identify each wire attached to the old thermostat using the labels enclosed with the new thermostat.
  3. Disconnect the wires from old thermostat one at a time. DO NOT LET WIRES FALL BACK INTO THE WALL.
  4. Install new thermostat using the following procedures

ATTENTION!
This product does not contain mercury. However, this product may replace a unit that contains mercury. Do not open mercury cells. If a cell becomes damaged, do not touch any spilled mercury. Wearing nonabsorbent gloves, take up the spilled mercury and place it into a container that can be sealed. If a cell becomes damaged, the unit should be discarded. Mercury must not be discarded in household trash. When the unit this product is replacing is to be discarded, place in a suitable container. Refer to www.white-rodgers.com for a location to send the product containing mercury.

ELECTRIC HEAT SYSTEMS
This thermostat is configured from the factory to operate a heat/ cool, fossil fuel (gas, oil, etc.), forced air system. It is configured correctly for any system that DOES NOT require the thermostat to energize the fan on a call for heat. If your system is an electric heat or heat-pump system that REQUIRES the thermostat to turn on the fan on a call for heat, locate the GAS/ELECTRIC switch on the thermostat base (see fig. 1) and switch it to the ELECTRIC position. This will allow the thermostat to energize the fan immediately on a call for heat. If you are unsure if the heating/ cooling system requires the thermostat to control the fan, and contact a qualified heating and air conditioning service person.

ATTACH THERMOSTAT BASE TO WALL

  1. Remove the packing material from the thermostat. Gently pull the cover straight off the base. Forcing or prying on the thermostat will cause damage to the unit. If necessary, move the electric heat switch (see ELECTRIC HEAT SYSTEMS, above).
  2.  Connect wires beneath terminal screws on base using the appropriate wiring schematic (see figs. 2 through 4).
  3. Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole locations on wall using base as a template.EMERSON-White-Rodgers-1F81-Programmable-Heat-Pump-Thermostat-Installation-and-Operation-Instructions-fig-1
  4. Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes.
  5. Fasten base loosely to wall, as shown in fig. 1, using two mounting screws. Place a level against the bottom of base, adjust until level, and then tighten screws. (Leveling is for appearance only and will not affect thermostat operation.) If you are using existing mounting holes, or if holes drilled are too large and do not allow you to tighten base snugly, use plastic screw anchors to secure subbase.
  6. Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire-resistant material (such as fiberglass insulation) to prevent drafts from affecting thermostat operation.

BATTERY LOCATION
2 “AA” alkaline batteries are included in the thermostat at the factory with a battery tag to prevent power drainage. You must remove the battery tag to engage the batteries. If BATT is displayed, the batteries are low and should be replaced with fresh “AA” Energizer® alkaline batteries. To replace batteries, install the batteries along the top of the base (see Fig. 1). The batteries must be installed with the positive (+) end to the left.

HYDRONIC (HOT WATER OR STEAM) HEATING SYSTEMS
This thermostat is set to operate properly with a forced-air heating system. If you have a hydronic heating system (a system that heats with hot water or steam), you must set the thermostat to operate properly with your system. Change the second option in the configuration menu to SL (see CONFIGURATION MENU, page 5).

Press HOLD to advance to next item or TIME to move backward to the previous item

  1. Select Temporary Hold Time – The thermostat can hold any temperature you set it to for the amount of time you select on this option. Your choices are 0:00 to 8:00 hours in 15-minute increments. 0:00 disables the function
    Example:
    1. You have selected 3:00 hours for the Temporary Hold time period.
    2. With the thermostat set to Heat or Cool, press HOLD for approximately five seconds until HOLD time (3:00 indicating 3 hours) appears as a set reminder.
    3. After releasing the button, HOLD on the display will blink.
    4. Use or set the temperature to your preference. The thermostat will maintain this temperature setting for 3 hours with HOLD blinking to remind you it is in Temporary Hold. After 3 hours the thermostat will go back to the programmed temperature and HOLD will no longer blink or display.
  2. Select FA or SL (Fast or Slow) Heating Cycle Rate – The FA setting is frequently used for gas, oil or electric heat. The SL setting produces a longer heating cycle which is normal for hot water or steam (hydronic) systems. Both settings produce very accurate temperature control and can be set to your personal preference. FA cycles the system just under 1°F and the SL setting cycles at approximately 1.5°F.
  3.  Select backlit display – The display backlight improves display contrast in low lighting conditions. Selecting the backlight ON will keep the light on for a short period of time after any key is pressed. Selecting OFF will keep the light off.
  4. Select Energy Management Recovery OFF or ON
    – Energy Management 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, cooling 15 minutes early, for every 1° of temperature required to reach setpoint. Example: You select EMR and have your heating programmed 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. Cooling requires more time per degree because it takes longer to reach temperature.
  5. Select filter replacement run time – The thermostat will display FLTR after a set time of operation. This is a reminder to change or clean your air filter. This time can be set from 0 to 1950 hours in 50-hour increments. A selection of 000 will cancel this feature. When FLTR is displayed, you can clear it by pressing HOLD and RUN at the same time. This resets the timer and starts counting the hours until the next filter change. Changing the time in the menu also resets the timer.
  6. Select Compressor Lockout LOC OFF or ON – Selecting LOC ON will cause the thermostat to wait 5 minutes before turning on the compressor if the heating and cooling system loses power. It will also wait 5 minutes minimum between cooling cycles. This is intended to help protect the compressor but you have the option to change the display temperature to match your previous thermostat. from short cycling. Some newer compressors already have a time delay built in and do not require this feature. Your compressor manufacturer can tell you if the feature is already present in their system. When the compressor time delay occurs it will flash the (snowflake icon) for about five minutes then turn on the compressor.
  7. Select Temperature Display Adjustment 4 LO to 4 HI – Allows you to adjust the room temperature display 4° higher or lower. Your thermostat was accurately calibrated at the factory
  8.  Select F° or C° Readout – Changes the display readout to Centigrade or Fahrenheit as required.
  9. Select Stage Fast (ON or OFF) – When selected ON, the second stage starts as soon as the setpoint temperature is manually raised 3°F in heat or lowered 3°F in cool from room temperature. When selected OFF, the second stage will delay approximately 15 minutes before starting.

OPERATION AND PROGRAMMING

MANUAL OPERATION

  • HOLD TEMPERATURE — With the SYSTEM switch set to HEAT or COOL, momentarily press the HOLD button. HOLD will be displayed. Use or to adjust the temperature. The thermostat will hold the room temperature at the selected setting until you press RUN button to return to program operation.
  • TEMPERATURE OVERRIDE — Press or until the display shows the temperature you want. The thermostat will override current programming and keep the room tem-perature at the selected temperature until the next program period begins. Then the thermostat will automatically revert to the program. Raising the temp in heating 3˚F above the room temp will activate any second-stage heating. Lowering the temp 3˚F below the room temp in cooling will activate any second-stage cooling.
  • TEMPORARY HOLD TEMPERATURE —The thermostat can hold any temperature within its range for the length of time selected in the configuration menu. See Configuration Menu section, step 1.
  • During early morning hours, the need for cooling is usually minimal.

PROGRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT

This section will help you plan your thermostat’s program to meet your needs. For maximum comfort and efficiency, keep the following guidelines in mind when planning your program.

Planning Your Program

Look at the factory preprogrammed times and temperatures are shown in the sample schedule. If this program will suit your needs, simply press the RUN button to begin running the factory preset program. If you want to change the preprogrammed times and temperatures, follow these steps. Determine the time periods and temperatures for your weekday and weekend programs. You must program four periods for both the weekday and weekend programs. However, you may use the same heating and cooling temperatures for consecutive time periods. You can choose start times, heating temperatures, and cooling temperatures independently for both weekday and weekend programs (for example, you may select 5:00 AM and 70° as the weekday 1st-period heating start time and temperature, and also choose 7:00 AM and 76° as the weekday 1st period cooling start time and temperature). Use the following table to plan your program time periods and the temperatures you want during each period. Fill in the complete table to have a record of your programs
