REMOVING OLD THERMOSTAT

ATTENTION! This product does not contain mercury. However, this product may replace a unit which contains mercury. Do not open mercury cells. If a cell becomes damaged, do not touch any spilled mercury. Wearing non-absorbent gloves, clean up the spilled mercury and place into a container which 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 and return to White-Rodgers at 2895 Harrison Street, Batesville, AR 72501 for proper disposal.
CAUTION

To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage, disconnect electric power to the system at main fuse or circuit breaker box until installation is complete.

Before removing wires from old thermostat’s switching subbase, label each wire with the terminal designation it was removed from.

1. Shut off electricity at the main fuse box until installation is complete. Ensure that electrical power is disconnected.
2. Remove Old Thermostat: A standard heat/cool thermostat consists of three basic parts:
   • The cover, which may be either a snap-on or hinge type.
   • The base, which is removed by loosening all captive screws.
   • The switching subbase, which is removed by unscrewing the mounting screws that hold it on the wall or adaptor plate.
3. Remove the front cover of the old thermostat. With wires still attached, remove 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.
4. Identify each wire attached to the old thermostat.
5. Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat one at a time. DO NOT LET WIRES FALL BACK INTO THE WALL.
6. Install new thermostat using the following procedures.

MOUNTING AND WIRING

WARNING
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage. Higher voltage will damage control and could cause shock or fire hazard.
Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary control to test. Short or incorrect wiring will damage thermostat and could cause personal injury and/or property damage.
Thermostat installation and all components of the system shall conform to Class II circuits per the NEC code.

Electric/Gas Switch (Fan Option)

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 you 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 ELEC/GAS switch on the back of the thermostat (see fig. 1) and switch it to the ELEC 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, contact a qualified heating and air conditioning service person. When the thermostat is configured for Heat Pump, the thermostat will always power the circulator fan on a call for heat in the HEAT mode. The ELEC/GAS switch must be set to match the type of Auxiliary heat your system uses for proper operation in the EMERgency mode.

All wiring diagrams are for typical systems only. Refer to equipment manufacturers’ instructions for specific system wiring information.

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.
2. Connect wires beneath terminal screws on base using 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.
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 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 fireresistant 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, press system button to OFF, install the batteries along the top of the base (see Fig. 1). The batteries must be installed with the positive (+) end to the left.

WIRING DIAGRAMS

Heat Pump Terminal Outputs

Refer to equipment manufacturers’ instructions for specific system wiring information. You can configure the thermostat for use with the following heat pump system types: HEAT PUMP TYPE 1. Single stage compressor system; gas or electric backup. This thermostat is designed to operate a single-transformer system. If you have a two-transformer system, cut and tape off one transformer. If transformer safety circuits are in only one of the systems, remove the transformer of the system with NO safety circuits. If required, replace remaining transformer with a 75VA Class II transformer. After disconnecting one transformer, the two commons must be jumpered together. Use the terminal output information below to help you wire the thermostat properly for your heat pump system. After wiring, see CONFIGURATION section for proper thermostat configuration.

Multi-Stage Terminal Outputs

Refer to equipment manufacturers’ instructions for specific system wiring information. You can configure the thermostat for use with either multi-stage electric heat systems or multi-stage gas systems. When configured for electric heat, the G terminal (blower/fan) will be energized on a call for heat. This thermostat is designed to operate a single-transformer system. If you have a two-transformer system, cut and tape off one transformer. If transformer safety circuits are in only one of the systems, remove the transformer of the system with NO safety circuits. If required, replace remaining transformer with a 75VA Class II transformer. After disconnecting one transformer, the two commons must be jumpered together. Use the terminal output information below to help you wire the thermostat properly for your multi-stage system. After wiring, see CONFIGURATION section for proper thermostat configuration.

CONFIGURATION MENU

The configuration menu allows you to set certain thermostat operating characteristics to your system or personal requirements. Set the SYSTEM button to OFF, then simultaneously press to enter the configuration menu. The display will show the first item in the configuration menu.
The configuration menu table summarizes the configuration options. An explanation of each option follows.
Press SYSTEM to change to the next menu item. To exit the menu and return to the program operation, press RUN. If no keys are pressed within fifteen minutes, the thermostat will revert to normal operation.

1. Single Stage, Multi-stage, or Heat Pump System Configuration – This control can be configured for Heat Pump or two-stage heat/two-stage cool multi-stage operation. The display indicates “MS 2” (default for multi-stage mode) in the display. The Multi-stage configuration can be toggled to “SS1”, “HP2”, or “HP1” by pressing the key. In a Multi-stage configuration, the SYSTEM button will not have EMERgency mode.
2. Programs Per Week – This control can be configured for 7 independent day or 5/1/1/ programming or non-programmable mode. The display indicates “7d” as default. The programs per week can be toggled to by pressing the or keys. With “0d” selected for nonprogrammable, SYSTEM button selection will skip Programmable periods (item 3), programmable hold time (item 4) and EMR (item 5).
3. Programmable Periods – This control can be configured for 4 or 2 programmable periods. The display indicates “PRG 4” in the display as default. The programmable periods can be toggled to “PRG 2” by pressing the or keys.
4. Select Temporary Program Override Time – The thermostat can hold any temperature you set it to for the amount of time you select on this option. Your choices are 0:15 to 4:00 hours in 15 minute increments.
   Example:
   1. You have selected 3:00 hours for the Temporary Program Override time period.
   2. With the thermostat set to Heat or Cool, press or to 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 program temperature and “HOLD” will no longer blink or display.
5. 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 for every 1° of temperature required to reach setpoint. Cooling allows more time per degree because it takes longer to reach temperature.
   Example: You select EMR and have your heating programmed to 65° at night and 70° at 7 AM. If the building temperatureis 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.
6. Fast or Slow Cycle Selection – The factory default setting is fast cycle, which cycles 1st stage at approximately 1.2°F and 2nd stage 0.75°F. If you prefer slow cycle, press the key to change to SL. The 1st stage and 2nd stage would be 1.5°F and 1.2°F respectively.
7. Select Compressor Lockout CL OFF or ON – Selecting CL 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 and heating cycles. This is intended to help protect the compressor 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 lockout feature is already present in their system. When the thermostat compressor time delay occurs it will flash the setpoint for about five minutes.
8. Select Backlight Display – The display backlight improves display contrast in low lighting conditions. When the C terminal is powered, selecting backlight CdL ON will turn the light on continuously. Select backlight OFF will keep the light on momentarily after any key is pressed. When the C terminal is not powered, this selection has no effect.
9. Select (Fast) Second Stage ON or OFF – In the run mode, if the setpoint temperature is manually raised by 3°F (2°C) or more above the actual temperature with the , and the fast second stage feature is enabled, FA ON, the second stage will energize immediately. With FA OFF, the second stage will not energize until the setpoint temperature is 1°F or more above the actual temperature for more than ten minutes.
10. 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. Contact your system manufacturer for a specific replacement/maintenance interval.
11. Select Temperature Display Adjustment 4 LO to 4 HI – Allows you to adjust the room temperature display up to 4° higher or lower. Your thermostat was accurately calibrated at the factory but you have the option to change the display temperature to match your previous thermostat. The current or adjusted room temperature will be displayed on the left side of the display.
12. Select F° or C° Readout – Changes the display readout to Centigrade or Fahrenheit as required.
13. Selected Auto mode – This control will feature AUTO changeover mode when AU on is selected (default). Press the keys in the menu mode to defeat the auto changeover mode (OFF).
14. Limited Heat Range – This feature provides a maximum setpoint temperature for heat. The default setting is 90°F. It can be changed between 62°F and 89°F by pressing the key.
15. Limited Cool Range – This feature provides a minimum setpoint temperature for cooling. The default setting is 45°F. It can be changed between 46°F and 82°F by pressing the key.
16. Compressor Defeat on Comfort Alert error – By selecting CAL (default), the compressor will be locked when any CA error is detected. The compressor will not be locked when a CA error is detected if CAL is OFF.
17. Keypad Lockout – This menu selection will display a lock icon ( ) and “OFF” (default, keypad not locked out). The and are used to toggle the selection between OFF and ON (keypad locked out). When the keypad lockout selection is enabled (ON), and the SYSTEM button is pressed again, the display will indicate the number “0” (default, still disabled) in the time digits. The and is used to set the combination number from 0 to 999. If a combination of 0 is selected and the SYSTEM button is pressed, the menu will be exited and the keypad will not be locked. If 1 to 999 is selected and the SYSTEM button is pressed, the combination is stored in memory and the menu is exited. The () will display designating keypad locked with a valid combination. The SYSTEM button will operate for 10 seconds after the menu mode is exited to allow the user to change the mode from OFF to the desired SYSTEM mode.
18. While the keypad is locked out, a simultaneous press of will enter the configuration menu from any mode instead of only OFF mode. When the menu is entered with the keypad lockout feature enabled, the first menu item displayed is the combination code 0. The keys are used to set the combination unlock number from 0 to 999. If the unlock number matches exactly with the combination lock number stored in memory when the SYSTEM button is pressed, the keypad is unlocked and the ( ) is removed. If the unlock number does not match when the SYSTEM button is pressed, the menu is exited and the keypad remains disabled.

SPECIFICATIONS

ELECTRICAL DATA

• Electrical Rating:
  20 to 30 VAC 50/60 Hz or DC
  0.05 to 1.5 Amps (Load per terminal)
  2.5 Amps Maximum Total Load (All terminals combined)

THERMAL DATA

• Setpoint Temperature Range: 45°F to 90°F (7°C to 32°C)
• Operating Ambient Temperature Range: 32°F to 105°F
• Operating Humidity Range: 0 to 90% RH (non-condensing)
• Shipping Temperature Range: -40°F to 150°F

OPERATION

The system “mode” is selected by pressing the SYSTEM button. Icons on the bottom right corner of the display will indicate the mode: COOL (), AUTO ( ), HEAT ( ), EMER, or OFF. In any mode except OFF, the setpoint temperature will be shown on the right side of the display. In OFF, this area will be blank. The current temperature will be displayed on the left side of the display.To operate properly in the AUTO mode, the heat setpointtemperature cannot be the same as or higher than the cool setpoint temperature. The heat setpoint must be at least 1° lower than the cool setpoint.
Automatic System Changeover
When the thermostat is in the AUTO mode, both the Flame and Snowflake icons are displayed. The thermostat will call for heat or cool depending on the room temperature. The setpoint temperature displayed will be that of the last mode called. If the last system cycle was heat, the HEAT setpoint will be displayed. If the room temperature raises above the HEAT setpoint and the COOL setpoint and a call for cool is required, the temperature displayed will change to be the COOL setpoint.
Second Stage Time Delay
Your thermostat is designed to determine the optimum time to activate the second stage. Simply raising the temperature in heating or lowering it in cooling will not always force thethermostat to bring the second stage on quickly. There is a time delay from 0-30 minutes depending on the performance of the first stage of the system.
EXAMPLE: For the last 2 hours the thermostat is set on 70° and the room temperature is 70° with the equipment using only the first stage of heat. Since the equipment is keeping the temperature within 1° of setpoint, the thermostat will delay second stage for a longer time if you manually raise the temperature or if the room temperature quickly changes. Once the second stage comes on, it will come on sooner the next time there is a difference between the setpoint and the room temperature. The  net effect of the staging program is that when the first stage iscapable of making temperature the second stage will delay longer. When the thermostat calculates that first stage cannot make the temperature in a reasonable time, the second stage will come on sooner. This built in function automatically optimizes the use of additional stages of heat or cool.
Manual Operation
Permanent Program Override (HOLD) – With the SYSTEM button set to HEAT or COOL, press the HOLD button once and release. “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 start program operation again.
Temperature Program Override – Press or until the display shows the temperature you want. The thermostat will override current programming and keep the room temperature at the selected temperature for a programmed time period.
“HOLD” will be displayed and flashing. The thermostat will automatically revert to the program after programmed period.

• LOW BATTERY INDICATOR — If the 2 “AA” alkaline batteries are low and should be replaced, the display will be blank except for “LO BATT”. When the batteries are low, pressing any button will cause the display to operated for ten seconds. After ten seconds, the display will be blank except for “LO BATT”. You cannot program with low batteries, but you can override setpoint temperature. After “LO BATT” has been displayed for 4 weeks, the thermostat will raise the temperature 10 degrees above your setpoint on COOL mode and will drop the temperature 10 degrees below your setpoint on HEAT mode. If the “LO BATT” condition continues, and when it reaches certain value, the thermostat will turn off all the loads and “LO BATT” will flash.
• SIMPLIFIED COPY DAY FUNCTION — This feature allows Monday’s program to be copied into the rest of the week’s programming. This feature is available the first time you programmed your thermostat. To use this feature, simply enter the program for Monday as described in ENTERING YOUR PROGRAM, then press RUN or HOLD. The only way to restore this feature is to complete a software reset (see Reset Operation under TROUBLESHOOTING section).
• COPY DAY FUNCTION — This feature allows a selected day’s program to be copied to the desired day’s programming. To use this feature: in PRGM mode, select the day to be copied from by pressing the HOLD button. Enter the program for the selected day as described in ENTERING YOUR PROGRAM. Press and hold the TIME button for 4 seconds to begin the COPY mode. The LCD will display “COPY” and the selected day to be copied. The day the program will copy to will be flashing. Press the HOLD button to select the day you want to copy to. Press TIME to complete the Copy Day operation and return to PRGM mode. Press RUN to exit.

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.

• When heating (cooling) your building, program the temperatures to be cooler (warmer) when the building is vacant or during periods of low activity.
• During early morning hours, the need for cooling is usually minimal.

Planning Your Program
Look at the factory preprogrammed times and temperatures 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 program. You can program four or two periods for each day (see Configuration menu, item 3). 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 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 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.

   YOUR THERMOSTAT IS NOW PROGRAMMED AND READY TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM COMFORT AND EFFICIENCY!

TROUBLESHOOTING

Reset Operation
If a voltage spike or static discharge blanks out the display or causes erratic thermostat operation, you can reset the thermostat by removing the wires from terminals R and C and removing batteries for 2 minutes. After resetting the thermostat, replace the wires and batteries. 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.	Replace fuse or reset breaker. Turn switch to ON. Replace door panel in proper position to engage safety interlock or door switch.
No Heat                     10	1. Pilot light not lit. 2. SYSTEM button not set to HEAT.   3. Loose connection to thermostat or system. 4. Furnace Lock-Out Condition. Heat may also be intermittent.     5. Heating system requires service or thermostat requires replacement.	Re-light pilot. Press SYSTEM button to HEAT and raise setpoint above room temperature. Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached. 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 service person for assistance. Diagnostic: Press SYSTEM button to HEAT and raise the setpoint above room temperature. Within a few seconds the thermostat should make a soft click

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
No Heat (continued)	5. Heating system requires service or thermostat requires replacement. (continued)	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 service person to verify the heating is operating correctly.
No Cool	1. SYSTEM button not pressed to COOL.   2. Loose connection to thermostat or system. 3. Cooling system requires service or thermostat requires replacement.	Press SYSTEM button to COOL and lower setpoint below room temperature. Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached. Same procedure 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 screws. 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.
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 normally provide precise tem- perature control and may cycle faster than some older mechanical models. A faster cycle rate means the unit turns on and off more frequently but runs for a shorter time so there is no increase in energy use. If you would like to increase the cycle time, choose SL for slow cycle in the menu, step 4. If an accept- able cycle rate is not achieved as received or by choosing slow cycle, contact a local service person for additional suggestions.
Thermostat Setting & Thermostat Thermometer Disagree	1. Thermostat thermometer setting requires adjustment.	The thermometer can be adjusted +/- 4 degrees. See Temperature Display Adjustment in the Configu- ration Menu section.
Blank Display and/or Keypad Not Responding	1. Voltage spike or static discharge.	Use the Reset Operation at top of previous page.
Heat Setpoint will not Respond to the Temperature Up Key	1. The desired setpoint conflicts with the setpoint of the COOL mode.	Change system mode to COOL. Raise the Cool setpoint. Return to HEAT mode and set desired temperature.
Cool Setpoint will not Respond to the Temperature Down Key	1. The desired setpoint conflicts with the setpoint of the HEAT mode.	Change system mode to HEAT. Lower the Heat setpoint. Return to COOL mode and set desired temperature.
Forgot Keypad Lockout Code		CAUTION: This resets the thermostat to factory default settings of the configuration menu. After performing this reset, the thermostat will require configuration again. Be sure that you know the required configuration settings before resetting. With the thermostat in any mode, press  and  at the same time to enter the configuration menu at the point where the lockout code is to be entered. Press

Forgot Keypad Lockout Code (continued)		and  and SYSTEM button at the same time to reset the lockout code, unlock the keypad and reset all configuration menu settings.
Why won’t my 2nd or 3rd stage come on?	First stage is keeping up with demand.	Your thermostat is designed to determine the optimum time to activate the second stage. Simply raising the temperature in heating or lowering it in cooling will not always force the thermostat to bring the second stage on quickly. There is a time delay from 0-30 minutes depending on the performance of the first stage of the system.

FAQ

Symptom	Corrective Action
My thermostat is reading in Celsius. How do I change it to Fahrenheit?	Your thermostat display can be set to display temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius. This option can be set in the INSTALLER/CONFIGURATION MENU of your thermostat. See page 6 step 12.
Do I have to program a stop time for each program period?	There is no need to select a time to stop a programming period. Starting a new programming period will stop the previous program period.
My thermostat does not follow it’s program. What should I do?	Unless the thermostat appears to be damaged it will follow the program that is in the memory. The most common reason a thermostat will appear not to be following the program is a programming error. Verify that the AM or PM settings are correct for each period. Also verify that the Day of the week is set correctly. Models with EMR (Energy Management Recovery) start early to make the temperature they are programmed for by the time specified in the program. See the CONFIGURATION MENU on page 6 step 3.
Between heating and cooling seasons, I want to turn my system off. Will this change my program?	Any time you wish to turn your system off, simply press the SYSTEM button until “OFF” is displayed. This will not affect your thermostat’s programming in any way. To turn the system back on, press the SYSTEM button to HEAT or COOL and press RUN. The system will begin operating according to the current thermostat program. See under OPERATION page 8 & 9.
My display light does not work. Can it be fixed or replaced?	Because it is soldered to the circuit board it is not possible to repair or replace.
Do I have to reprogram my thermostat after I change the batteries?	No. This thermostat has permanent memory, although you will have to reset your clock.
My setpoint temperature is flashing. What does that mean?	When the thermostat compressor time delay occurs it will flash the setpoint for about five minutes. This is intended to help protect the compressor from short cycling.
How can I get a copy of the Operating Manual for my thermostat?	Visit our website at www.white-rodgers.com for operating manuals.
My program or configuration menu is all messed up, how do I start from the beginning?	You can perform software reset by pressing   and SYSTEM buttons simultaneously when SYSTEM mode is OFF. See “Forget Keypad Lockout Code” under “TROUBLESHOOTING” for details.
