1ST STAGE DIFFERENTIAL – COOL
(0.2°F – 3.0°F; 1.0°F* default setting) Select the number of degrees** the thermostat has to sense between the automatic for cool and the room temperature before a call for the 1st stage cooling is initiated. below the dead band offset (refer to page 40)
INCIDENTAL OCCUPANCY THRESHOLD
(00 – 60; 05* default setting) Select the minimum period of time (in minutes) for which occupancy needs to be detected to enter the guest occupancy mode.
When occupancy is detected, thermostat will switch to occupied mode for a duration of “Incidental Occupancy Threshold” selected here. If occupancy is detected for a period of time shorter than the “Incidental Occupancy Threshold” selected here, the thermostat will automatically revert to unoccupied mode at the end of the “Incidental Occupancy Threshold” period and continue to observe energy saving functions that were in effect before the room became occupied. This setting allows ignoring incidental room visits. If occupancy is detected for a period of time longer than the “Incidental Occupancy Threshold” selected here, the thermostat will enter the guest occupancy mode. When the thermostat is in the guest occupancy mode, it will revert to unoccupied mode and initiate the setback temperature only when occupancy is not detected for the duration of the setback delay (Heat or Cool) period.
NIGHT OCCUPANCY THRESHOLD
(00 – 60; 01* default setting) Select the minimum period of time (in minutes) for which occupancy needs to be detected in order to consider the room occupied during the “Night Occupancy”period. When occupancy is detected during the “Night Occupancy Period” for longer than the “Night Occupancy Threshold” selected here, the thermostat will instantaneously switch to occupied mode. If occupancy is detected for a period of time shorter than the “Night Occupancy Threshold” selected here, the thermostat will automatically revert to unoccupied mode and continue to observe energy saving functions that were in effect before the room became occupied. If occupancy is detected for a period of time longer than the “Night Occupancy Threshold” selected here, the thermostat will disable the occupancy sensor and consider the room occupied until the end of the “Night Occupancy” period. This feature ensures that energy saving functions that may affect guest comfort will not come in effect during the “Night Occupancy” period.
FORCED 2ND STAGE HEATING
(00 – 60; 15* default setting) Select a number of minutes 1st stage heating will run before 2nd stage heating is automatically initiated if the guest set point is not reached and the 2nd stage heating is not initiated through differential settings. This feature allows automatically turning on 2nd stage heating to avoid excessive compressor use. Set to 00 to disable the feature.
NIGHT OCCUPANCY START
(00 – 23; 21* default setting) Select the start time (in hours – 24-hour clock) for “Night Occupancy” If occupancy is detected for a period of time longer than the “Night Occupancy Threshold” during “Night Occupancy” period, the thermostat will disable the occupancy sensor and consider the room occupied until the end of the “Night Occupancy” period. This feature ensures that energy saving functions that may affect guest comfort will not come in effect during the “Night Occupancy” period if room was occupied for a period of time longer than “Night Occupancy Threshold”.
NIGHT OCCUPANCY END
(00 – 23; 09* default setting) Select the time (in hours – 24-hour clock) for “Night Occupancy” to end. This is the time of day the “Night Occupancy” ends and the thermostat switches back to the room sensing settings chosen in the other occupancy modes.
TEMPERATURE RECOVERY TIME
(00 – 60; 15* default setting) Select the maximum time allowed for a HVAC unit to attain temperature as defined by Heat and Cool Recovery Temperature. Temperature Recovery Time selected here and the actual temperature recovery ability of the HVAC unit are used to calculate setback temperatures. Calculated setback temperatures maximize energy savings and at the same time ensure that a comfortable room temperature (defined as Heat and Cool Recovery Temperature) will be restored within the selected Temperature Recovery Timeâ Setting the Temperature Recovery Time to , disables temperature recovery. When temperature recovery is disabled, thermostat will use the Minimum and Maximum Setback Temperatures as setback set points.
RECOVERY TEMPERATURE – HEAT
(62°F – 82°F; 69°F* default setting) Select the room temperature in °F that a HVAC unit will have to attain within the selected “Temperature Recovery Time” when there is a need for heating.
TEMPERATURE SETBACK DELAY – HEAT
(00 – 120; 30* default setting) Select the time delay (in minutes) for which the room that is in the guest occupancy mode needs to be unoccupied before the temperature setback is initiated. This feature prevents initiating temperature setback prematurely while the guest is still in the room but in an area where occupancy cannot be detected by the occupancy sensor. Setting the “Temperature Setback Delay – Heat” to “00”, disables the setback in the heat mode.
MINIMUM SETBACK TEMPERATURE – HEAT
(52°F – 72°F; 65°F* default setting) Select the Minimum Setback Temperature in °F. Setback temperature is calculated by measuring HVAC unit’s ability to attain “Recovery Temperature – Heat withinTemperature Recovery Time. If recovery is disabled (“Temperature Recovery Time is set to or if setback temperatures have not yet been calculated, the “Minimum Setback Temperature value will be used as the setback temperature for heating. If calculated setback temperature for heating is lower than Minimum Setback Temperatureâ then the Minimum Setback Temperature will be used as setback temperature for heating. This feature allows defining the minimum temperature in a room when room is unoccupied and the thermostat is in the setback mode.
TEMPERATURE SETBACK DELAY – COOL
(00 – 120; 30* default setting) Select the time delay (in minutes) for which the room that is in the guest occupancy mode needs to be unoccupied before the temperature setback is initiated. This feature prevents initiating temperature setback prematurely while the guest is still in the room but in an area where occupancy cannot be detected by the occupancy sensor. Setting the “Temperature Setback Delay – Cool” to “00”, disables the setback in the cool mode. Set to “00” to disable EMS.
MAXIMUM SETBACK TEMPERATURE – COOL
(72°F – 92°F; 76°F* default setting) Select the “Maximum Setback Temperature in °F. Setback temperature is calculated by measuring HVAC unit™s ability to attain “Recovery Temperature – Cool within Temperature Recovery Time. If recovery is disabled (“Temperature Recovery Time is set to ) or if setback temperatures have not yet been calculated, the Maximum Setback Temperature value will be used as the setback temperature for cooling. If calculated setback temperature for air conditioning is higher than Maximum Setback Temperatureâ, then the Maximum Setback Temperature will be used as setback temperature for air conditioning. This feature allows defining the maximum temperature in a room when room is unoccupied and the thermostat is in the setback mode.
RECOVERY TEMPERATURE – COOL
(62°F – 82°F; 72°F* default setting) Select the room temperature in °F that a HVAC unit will have to attain within the selected “Temperature Recovery Time” when there is a need for air conditioning.
MINIMUM SET POINT
(64°F – 84°F; 66°F* default setting) Select the minimum set point in °F that a guest can select.
MAXIMUM SET POINT
(60°F – 82°F; 78°F* default setting) Select the maximum set point in °F that a guest can select.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL MODE
AUTO CHANGEOVER SET POINT OFFSET (DEAD BAND)
(00°F – 04°F; 01°F* default setting) Select the difference between the guest-selected set point and the heat and the cool set point when the thermostat is in the automatic temperature control mode.
This value plus the 1st stage differential defined in steps 02 and 04, defines the temperature at which the thermostat would automatically change heating/cooling modes. This feature allows adjusting the dead band between the heat and the cool set points in automatic changeover mode in order to avoid the system from bouncing back and forth between heating and cooling under normal operating conditions.
