Adjustable Temperature Display. (User menu, Item 1), The room temperature display can be adjusted to read higher or lower by following the User menu and adjusting the temperature to a higher or lower value. The thermostat is calibrated at the factory to display a very accurate room temperature, but due to various conditions and/ or personal preference, you may wish to adjust the thermostat display higher or lower (up to 5°F). For example, if the thermostat displays a room temperature of 70° and you want it to display 73° the display can be adjusted to read 73°. To adjust, refer to the CONFIGURATION section (page 4, step 1). Selectable Energy Management Recovery (EMR).
(User menu, Step 2) EMR causes the thermostat to start operating the system early in order to make the building temperature reach your program setpoint at the time you specify. In multistage heating, the thermostat will start 8 minutes early for every 1°F difference between the room temperature and the next programmed temperature. In cooling and heat pump applications, the thermostat uses 15 minutes per °F. For heating applications in large buildings where extra time to reach the set temperature may be desired, EMR Long may be selected. When EMR ON L is selected in the user menu (page 4, item 2) the thermostat uses 15 minutes per °F.
EXAMPLE: If the temperature in the room is 65°F and the thermostat is programmed for 70°F at 7 AM, the thermostat will start approximately 40 minutes early. The difference between the room temperature (65°F) and the setpoint (70°F) is 5° and 5° X 8 minutes per °F = 40 minutes. The set point on the display will actually change to display 70° about 40 minutes early. The maximum time the thermostat can start early in heating is 75 minutes (or 3 hours, 45 minutes if EMR ON L is selected). The maximum time in cooling and heat pump applications is 3 hours and 45 minutes. Cooling or heat pump applications start earlier because it takes longer to reach the desired temperature. This feature also minimizes the use of the auxiliary stages if conditions are such that the compressor stages are adequate to reach the desired setpoint. To select or deselect this feature, refer to the CONFIGURATION section (page 4, step 2).
Adjustable Humidity Display (RH) (User Menu step 3)
The room humidity display can be adjusted to read higher or lower by following the configuration menu and adjusting the humidity to a higher or lower value. The thermostat is calibrated at the factory to display a very accurate room humidity, but due to various conditions and/or personal preference, you may wish to adjust the thermostat display to higher or lower (up to +/- 20%). For example, if the thermostat displays room humidity of 40% but you want it to display 43% you can adjust it. To adjust, refer to the CONFIGURATION section (page 4, step 3). Programmable Automatic Humidity Reduction (DRY) (User Menu step 4) This feature automatically lowers the humidity setting when the outside temperature drops. This is to prevent the interior windows/walls from reaching the dew point where water condenses on surfaces. To achieve automatic humidity reduction, the thermostat lowers the humidity when furnace cycles are long. When the furnace runs shorter cycles, it increases humidity. For suggested settings see the table below. Programmable Dehumidification Optimal Comfort Mode (OPTM CMFT)
(User Menu step 5)
When turned on this feature automatically reduces indoor humidity during calls for cooling if humidity is 2% above setting. Humidity is set by pressing the Humidity button when in the appropriate- ate mode, in this case, Cooling, and pressing the

This thermostat is factory-set to display temperature in Fahrenheit. If you prefer, you may configure the thermostat to display Celsius. See the CONFIGURATION Section, page 5.
Single Period Fan Control. (User menu, Step 8)
This feature allows you to have the fan run for a predetermined period of time by pressing the FAN key twice within 1.5 seconds. If a time is set in the User menu (page 4, step 8) the display will show FAN, # hrs, and PRG FAN ON for six seconds. After six seconds the display will continue to indicate PRG FAN ON for the time period selected. After this time period, the fan will return to normal operation. To return the a to normal operation before the end of the time period, press the FAN button.
(User menu, Step 9)
The thermostat has a beeper that will emit a tone when any key is pressed. In the user menu, the BEEP feature can be turned OFF using or providing a silent key operation.
Heat Fast
(User men, Step 10) This feature, when set to ON, will bring the second stage of heating on any time you manually raise the temperature three or more degrees above room temperature. If HEAT FAST is set to OFF, the thermostat will delay the second stage from 0 to 30 minutes based on how well the first stage is keeping up with your setting.
Cool Fast
(User menu, Step 11) This feature, when set to ON, will bring the second stage of cooling on any time you manually lower the temperature three or more degrees below room temperature. If COOL FAST is set to OFF, the thermostat will delay the second stage from 0 to 30 minutes based on how well the first stage is keeping up with your setting.
(User menu, Steps 12,13,14,15) Up to three remote sensors (F145-1328) can be attached to this thermostat to sense indoor temperature at locations away from the thermostat. Each sensor may be located as far as 300 feet away from the thermostat. This is an excellent feature if the thermostat is in a poor location for sensing temperature or if you want to install the thermostat in a separate room to prevent tampering. After installing and connecting the remote sensor(s) to the thermostat, the installer can enable each remote indoor temperature sensor (A, B, and/or C). When operating with remote sensor(s), the thermostat will calculate an average of the sensed temperatures in all enabled sensor locations (A, B, C, and/or L), then display the average temperature as the room temperature. The temperature at each remote sensor can be displayed by pressing the light button twice within one second. With the thermostat in program run or hold mode. Temperatures at the outdoor and indoor remote sensors will be displayed with subsequent presses of the light button in the following order (if connected): outdoor sensor, sensor L, A, B, C. You can also assign each sensor different priorities during Different program periods.
This allows the system to maintain a comfortable environment by giving higher priority to occupied locations. At the same time, giving lower priority to occur- pied locations enhances efficient system operation. EXAMPLE: Your home has bedrooms on the upper level and a guest bedroom on the main level, along with the living room, kitchen, etc. The thermostat (sensor L) is located in the hall on the main level. Remote sensors are located on the upper level (sensor A) and the guest bedroom (sensor B). The lower level would be occupied in the DAY and EVE periods. The upper level would be occupied in the NHT and MOR periods. With no guest in the guest bedroom, the sensors could be programmed as follows:
SENSOR | |||
L | A | B | |
MOR | AVG | HI | LO |
DAY | HI | AVG | LO |
EVE | HI | AVG | LO |
NHT | AVG | HI | LO |
In the MOR and NHT periods, the sensor on the upper level (sensor A) has more priority than the lower level (sensor L), so the system will operate to keep the temperature at the set point in the upper level. In the DAY and EVE periods, the lower level has a higher priority, so the system will operate to keep the temperature at the default setting. A setting of HI gives menu press TIME and TIME set point on that level. The sensor in the guest bedroom has the lower priority of the sensors. If there is a guest, the sensor in that room (sensor press PROGRAM VIEW to advance the time period you wish to modify, then press the HUMIDITY button. On the display in place of the period of day (MOR, DAY, EVE, NHT) the priority
of the sensor and the sensor, identification will appear.
Press the HUMIDITY button to step through the sensors that are installed and enabled L (local), A, B or C. Only sensors that are installed and enabled will be listed. When the sensor you wish to change is displayed, press the DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME key to change the priority (AVG, HI, or LO). AVG is the default setting. A setting of HI gives a sensor more importance and a setting of LO gives less importance. Outdoor Temperature Sense. (User menu, Step 16) A remote sensor (F145-1378) may be installed for outdoor temperature measurement The sensor must be properly connected and enabled using the User menu. The display shows the outdoor temperature from -40° to 140°F by pressing the light button twice within one second when the thermostat is in a program run or hold mode.

Service Button Menu
The Service button allows the setting of maintenance reminders for three optional equipment accessories typically used with forced air heating/ cooling systems. The three accessories humidifier, air filter, and UV light are designed to enhance indoor air quality. A humidifier will add humidity when conditions would normally make the indoor air uncomfortably dry. Air
filters are designed to clean the air through a forced air system. These accessories require routine maintenance to provide optimum performance. The service button maintenance reminders are designed so that they can be customized to the requirements of each accessory. If your system is a forced air system you may have none or all three accessories. The fourth maintenance reminder is for routine servicing of your system by a professional HVAC contractor. The fourth reminder option may be used in lieu of or in conjunction with the other reminders. If you’d prefer to have a professional service your system, the Routine Maintenance Reminder is the only reminder you’ll need to set. To disable a feature that was previously selected, press

Maintenance Indicator
This feature allows the thermostat to display the words CHECK PAD (check humidifier) after a set time of humidifier operation. This is a reminder to maintain or clean your humidifier. The factory set interval for CHECK PAD to be displayed is 100 hours of humidifier operation. This should be adjusted with respect to the humidifier’s recommended maintenance schedule. When CHECK PAD is displayed, you can clear it by pressing the SERVICE button. This resets the timer and starts counting the hours until the next humidifier maintenance. The following
steps will allow you to change the number of hours for humidifier maintenance.
The following steps will allow you to change the number of hours for filter change-out.
UV Bulb Replacement Indicator
This feature allows the thermostat to display the words CALL SERV UV (Call for Service of UV bulb) after a set time of UV bulb operation. This is a reminder to maintain your UV system
at an optimum level of operation. When enabled the factory set interval for CALL SERV UV to be displayed is 350 days of UV bulb operation and can be adjusted in 25-day increments.
This should be adjusted with respect to the bulb’s recommended maintenance schedule.
Routine Maintenance Reminder
This feature allows the thermostat to display the words CALL SERV (Call for Service) after a set time of system operation. This is a reminder to maintain your system at an optimum level of operation. The factory set interval for CALL SERV to be displayed is days of system operation. This should be adjusted with respect to your HVAC service company’s recommendation. When enabled the default is 175 days and can be adjusted in 25-day increments. System and Thermostat Diagnostics. The display will indicate a CHECK SYSTEM if the room temperature
does not rise within two hours of the call for heat. After two hours the thermostat will quit calling for heat for one minute (this allows some furnaces to reset) and call for heat again. If the
temperature still does not rise, it will continue to call for heat. This normally indicates the heating system is not working correctly. You may wish to consult your furnace manufacturer or
service person. The display will indicate CHECK STAT if one of the following occurs.
Adjustable Humidity Display
The room humidity display can be adjusted to read higher or lower by following the configuration menu and adjusting the humidity to a higher or lower value (up to 20% RH). The sensed humidity is calibrated at the factory. If you want to adjust it, refer to the CONFIGURATION section (page 4, step 3). Programmable Automatic Humidity Reduction. This feature automatically lowers humidity when the outside temperature drops. This is to prevent the interior windows/walls from reaching the dew point where water condenses on surfaces. To achieve automatic humidity reduction, the thermostat lowers the humidity when furnace cycles are long. When the furnace runs shorter cycles, it increases humidity. For suggested settings see the table below.
OFF | Factory default — no humidity reduction. |
LO | Well insulated homes requiring little humidity reduction. |
HI | Poorly insulated homes or homes with a lot of condensation on windows/walls. |
If your window insulation is poor, you need high humidity reduction. If your window insulation is good, you need low humidity reduction (factory setting). Selection of OFF will cancel this feature. To adjust this feature, refer to the CONFIGURATION section (page 4, step 4). Humidifier Control and Monitoring When the humidity button is pressed while in the run mode and in the HEAT position, the actual humidity will be displayed on the left side of the display. HUMD is displayed above the actual humidity. The humidity set point is displayed on the right side of the display. or button may be pressed to modify the humidity set point (range 5 to 50). The maximum displayed humidity is 97% RH and the minimum displayed humidity is 2% RH. If the heating system is operating and there is a demand for humidity then the humidifier will operate. If the demand for humidity is not satisfied for ten consecutive heat cycle operations, the display will show the word HUMD for one second and the word MX for one-second signaling maximum possible humidity is reached.

If you decide to return to the program, press PROGRAM RUN to cancel the hold feature. |
FAQs | 1F95-391 |
3. My furnace (air condi- tioning) cycles too fast (slow). Is there an adjust- ment? | The 1F95-391 has a feature called Adjustable Heating and Cooling Cycle times (also called Anticipation) that allows you to increase or decrease the cycle times in heating and cooling. This is useful if you think your cycle times are too long or too short. The higher the number you select, the longer the cycle. The lower the number you select, the shorter the cycle. The 1F95-391 is adjusted in the Installer Table (see your installation instructions). The range of adjustment for HEATING is from 1 to 40. The factory Preset is 05, the range of adjustment for COOLING is from 9 to 40. The factory Preset is 24. The cooling will not go below 9 because compressors require a longer cycle. See page 6 of your Installation Instructions. |
4. Why does the blower fan keep running after the system has shut off? | Normally the blower will turn off within a few minutes after the call for heat or cool. The blower running after the system shuts off may indicate (1) the thermostat is set to FAN ON, (2) the fan has been programmed to run at that time period or (3) something has damaged the thermostat or equipment. If the thermostat display indicates FAN ON, press the fan button once to set it to FAN AUTO, meaning the fan will cycle only with the equipment. If the display indicates PRG FAN (Program Fan), sometime during programming, the FAN button was pushed. To remove PRG FAN (Program Fan), check all of the programmed times and temperatures. When you encounter PRG FAN, press the FAN button to remove it from that time period in the program. As a final test, set the thermostat to OFF. Verify that FAN ON or FAN AUTO is not displayed. If the fan continues to run, you may want to contact your heating and cooling service person for assistance. |

5. 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. |
6. My display light does not work. Can it be fixed or replaced? | The display light in the 1F95-391 is not a replaceable item. |
7. Between Heating and Cooling seasons, I want to turn my system off. Will this change the program? | Any time you wish to turn your system off, simply press the SYSTEM button until the display shows OFF. This will not affect your thermostat’s programming in any way. To turn the system back on, press the SYSTEM button until HEAT, OFF, COOL, or AUTO is displayed, and press RUN. The system will begin operating according to the current thermostat program. |
8. Do I have to reprogram my thermostat after a power outage? | The 1F95-391 will retain the last program entered indefinitely without power. |
9. How can I get an extra copy of the Operating Manual for my thermostat? | Visit our website at www.white-rodgers.com for operating manuals. |

10. What do I do if my system is not working properly and I need service? | Contact a Local Heating & Cooling service person or visit our website at www.white-rodgers.com to consult our “Where to Buy” Service/Dealer locator. |
11. What does CHCK PAD on the display mean and how do I reset it? | This feature displays the words CHCK PAD (check humidifier) after a set time of humidifier operation. This is a reminder to maintain or clean your humidifier. When CHCK PAD is displayed, you can clear it by pressing the SERVICE button. |
12.When I push the Humidity button, the display shows HUMD MX. What does this mean? | HUMD MX indicates the humidifier has not reached the current humidity setting in the last 10 heating cycles. If the condition persists, a service person may recommend additional humidifier capacity. |
13.Why does the system run with the setpoint and room temperature the same? | In cooling, as the room temperature falls you will eventually reach the setpoint temperature. The system will continue to run until it reaches the low side of the temperature setting. As an example: If set to 78 degrees with the room temperature falling the thermostat will continue to call for cool as the temperature decreases in the following manner. 78.9, 78.8, 78.7, 78.6, 78.5, 78.4, 78.3, 78.2, at approximately 78.2 the thermostat will quit calling for cool. This is why it is not unusual for the room temperature and set temperature to read the same but the system continues to run. The amount of time it takes for the system to shut off |
FAQs | 1F95-391 |
(cont.) 13.Why does the system run with the setpoint and room temperature the same? | is dependent on system sizing, thermostat location, etc. Note: The thermostat display only displays whole numbers. Internally the thermostat calculates decimals. In heating as the room temperature increases the system will continue to run until the thermostat reaches the high side of the temperature setpoint. |
14. How do I reset my thermostat? | There are 3 possibilities to consider, excluding tampering. 1. Loss of power from the system, 24VAC should be constant to maintain a display. 2. Static electricity or a voltage spike from the heating equipment might be resetting the thermostat. Static electricity can be eliminated by touching something before touching the thermostat to dissipate the static charge. A voltage spike from the equipment can be eliminated using an isolation relay as described in the link below. 0037_5426_A [pdf] You can also check the wire routing to verify the thermostat or remote wires are not running parallel to high voltage lines with high inductive loads which could (in extreme cases) create a voltage spike at the thermostat. 3. Thermostat not functioning properly. A simple test would be to bench test one of the units for a couple of days to see if it resets or move it to another system where a reset has never occurred. |

15. How do I temporarily Override the program and Hold Til Timing? | Any time your program is running and you would like to override it for a specific amount of time, press or until the temperature you want is displayed. The display will indicate HOLD, and the number of hours remaining in the hold period will be indicated with the word HRS. To adjust the length of time for the override, press TIME FWD or TIME BACK. The time you select will become the new number of hours for the Hold Til timing. Once your time is selected, let the thermostat revert back to normal operation on its own to accept the change. |
16. What is the thermostat Click Test? | Many furnaces have safety devices that shut the system down when a lock-out condition occurs in the furnace. If the thermostat is turned off or the call for heat is canceled (by lowering and then raising the set temperature) the furnace may start operating again. A diagnostic to see if the thermostat is operating when the room temperature is below the thermostat setting (in heat) is to lower the setting below the room temp. Within about 3 seconds the thermostat should make a soft click sound. This sound is the thermostat turning off the call for heat and usually indicates the thermostat is operating properly. If the thermostat does not click you would be suspicious of the thermostat and try resetting it by following it’s reset operation. 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 and the heat works intermittently contact the furnace manufacturer or local service person. They will want to observe the condition when it is not working. |
FAQs | 1F95-391 |
(cont.) 16. What is the thermostat Click Test? | You can raise and lower the temperature a few degrees above and below the room tempera- ture and each time expect to hear the thermostat click on and off within a few seconds. If it clicks, it is operating properly. |
17. What do AUX, EMER, and MALF indicators mean on a heat pump thermostat? | Aux. = Auxiliary Heat or the second stage of heat in the Heat mode. This is energized when the Heat Pump is not keeping up with the thermostat setting. It is normal operation with most pumps for the thermostat to call for auxiliary heat. Emer. = Emergency Heat. When switched to Emergency the thermostat bypasses the pump and uses the back-up heat. This is useful if the pump is not operating correctly or if the temperature outside is so cold that the pump is not economical to run. |
Malf. = Malfunction. A malfunction indicates the heat pump system is sending a signal to the Malfunction Light on the thermostat terminal marked “L”. It does not indicate a malfunc- tion in the thermostat. The manufacturer of the Heat Pump system can determine the likely cause of malfunction indication on the thermostat. | |
In many heat pump systems Emergency and Auxiliary heat are the same source. If you switch the thermostat to Emergency it will bypass the heat pump and bring on the back-up heat. If you leave the thermostat in the Heat mode it will call for Auxiliary when the pump is not keeping up with your setpoint temperature. Emergency is energized on a call for heat in the Emergency heat mode. |
RESETTING THERMOSTAT
The thermostat can be reset back to factory default programs and configuration options. Removing power from the thermostat will not reset it to the default settings. Before resetting the thermostat you may want to make note of the previously selected configuration options and programming. To reset the thermostat, press and release PROGRAM RUN, then press
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. |
SYMPTOM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | CORRECTIVE ACTION |
No Heat (Heat may also be intermittent.) | 1. Pilot light not lit. 2. Thermostat not set to Heat.
3. Loose connection to thermostat or system. 4. Furnace Lock-Out Condition. | Re-light pilot. Press the SYSTEM button until Heat is displayed and raise temperature 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. |
No Cool | 1. Thermostat not set to Cool.
2. Loose connection to thermostat or system. 3. Cooling system requires service or thermostat requires replacement. | Press the SYSTEM button to Cool and lower tempera- ture below room temperature. Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached. Press the SYSTEM button until Cool is displayed and lower setpoint below room temperature. There may be five minute delay before the thermostat clicks in cooling. |
SYMPTOM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | CORRECTIVE ACTION |
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 is 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 on page 31.
If the FAN button is pressed to display ON, the blower fan will cycle continuously whether the heating or cooling system is running, press the FAN button until AUTO is displayed. 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. |
SYMPTOM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | CORRECTIVE ACTION |
Furnace 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 temperature control and may cycle faster than some older mechanical models. A faster cycle rate means the unit turns on or 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, refer to the Installation Instructions under Installer Table for settings. If an acceptable cycle rate is not achieved by the adjustment in the Installer Table then you may want to contact a local heating and air condi- tioning service person for further suggestions. |
Cooling Cycles Too Fast or Too Slow (narrow or wide temperature swing) | 1. The location of the thermostat and/or size of the Cooling System can influence the rate. | The cycle rate for cooling is fixed and can not be adjusted. Contact a local service person for sugges- tions. |
SYMPTOM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | CORRECTIVE ACTION |
Thermostat Setting and Thermostat Thermometer Disagree | 1. Thermostat thermometer setting requires adjustment. | The thermostat can be adjusted +/- 5°F. See the Temperature Display Adjustment in the Operating Manual under configuration. |
Thermostat Does Not Follow Program | 1. AM or PM set incorrectly in program. 2. AM or PM set incorrectly on the clock. 3. Voltage spike or static discharge. | Check current clock and program settings including the AM or PM designations for each time period. If a voltage spike or a static discharge occurs use the Reset Operation listed above. |
Blank Display and/or Keypad Not Responding | 1. Voltage spike or static discharge. | Check heat/cool system for proper operation. If a voltage spike occurs, use the Reset Operation by pressing FAN, TIME BACK , and the temperature arrow at the same time. |
