The Ademco 4500 thermostat provides control for both heat and air conditioning. It is intended for use with Ademco security systems that include the enhanced 4286 phone module. You can set the 4500 thermostat using any Touch-tone phone, either on premises or remotely. The 4500 thermostat is not a replacement for the existing thermostat, which remains in the installation, but can be selected to provide a “set-back” function whenever the system is in the ARMED AWAY mode. The existing thermostat controls premises temperature while the security system is DISARMED, or in ARMED STAY mode.
Saving Money on Energy Bills
An important benefit of combined climate control and security is potential energy cost savings. During the heating season, you can “set-back” the 4500 thermostat for times when you are away from home by putting the security system in the ARMED AWAY mode. Our set-back feature lets you turn down the thermostat when the house is empty automatically, when you arm the security system in the ARMED AWAY mode.
During the cooling season, you can set the 4500 thermostat for a higher temperature than the existing thermostat for times when you are away from home, to save on cooling costs by putting the security system in the ARMED AWAY mode.
In both cases you can call home to adjust the set-back temperature that is in effect while the system is in the armed away mode.
The 4500 Thermostat Provides Comfort and Convenience
Heat or air conditioning in vacation homes can be remotely set and monitored by phone. For example, heat can be turned up at a ski cabin before guests arrive. The owner can also call-in to the system to check that the indoor temperature is being maintained while the premises are vacant. Users can set the air conditioning by calling home just before leaving work. Once access to the security system has been established, the ambient temperature will automatically be announced if the installer has programmed this function. The following sections describe how to use the 4500 thermostat.
How the 4500 Thermostat Works With Your Present Thermostat
The 4500 thermostat works in combination with the original thermostat installed on the premises.
While the premises is occupied, the security system is usually armed STAY or DISARMED, and the 4500 thermostat will be inactive. The original thermostat can be used as usual to set and adjust your premises temperature.
When controlling a heating system, the set-back temperature setting of the 4500 thermostat must always be set to a lower temperature than the original thermostat. This way, the 4500 thermostat will turn down the heat when the security system is ARMED AWAY.
Alternately, when controlling an air conditioning system, the set-back temperature setting of the 4500 thermostat must always be set to a higher temperature than the original thermostat. This way, the 4500 thermostat will allow the ambient temperature to rise when the security system is ARMED AWAY.
If the pre-existing thermostat has a built-in clock and schedule, the schedule can be used to set the times you “wake,” “leave,” “return,” and “sleep.”
Note: The “leave” time should be set for the latest time that you would expect to leave the premises. The “return” time should be set to the earliest time you expect to arrive at the premises. If you leave earlier or return later than scheduled times, the 4500 thermostat will adjust the temperatures accordingly.
In summary, the 4500 thermostat allows you to:
As you can see from Figure 1 below, there are two controls and one indicator on the front panel of the 4500 thermostat:
The phone access feature of the Honeywell security system provides a number of capabilities to the user:

Adjusting the Set-Back Temperature of the 4500 Thermostat
Keep in mind that the on-premises existing thermostat is set to the desired temperature for when the building is occupied. The 4500 thermostat is used to set the set-back temperature for when the premises is unoccupied and the security system is in the ARMED AWAY mode.
The 4500 thermostat is set from any Touch-tone phone, either on-premises, or by calling in when away.
The set-back feature of the 4500 thermostat works automatically when you leave the premises and the security system is ARMED AWAY. However, sometimes you may want to override this feature. You can turn off the set-back at any time, while still on the premises or off.
For example, on a very hot day, you may want the premises temperature to be restored to the more comfortable normal settings by the time you return home from work instead of remaining at the more economical set-back temperature until you arrive. You would do the following:
If your security system includes two 4500 thermostats and you have a multi-zone heating or air conditioning system, you can set the heat and air conditioning at different temperatures in different parts of the house.
In order to program the thermostats, you must obtain access to the security system and then the Thermostat Menu Mode.
Refer to the section “To Enter the Thermostat Menu Mode” on page 5 or perform the first three steps of the abbreviated step-by-step procedure on page 8 and continue with this procedure.
The two thermostats in your system are named Thermostat 1 and Thermostat 2 for programming purposes. When you first enter Thermostat menu mode, you are hearing status for “Thermostat 1”, and you can adjust the set point for Thermostat 1 without having to “LOG ON.”
If, however, you want to review or set Thermostat 2, you must first choose the Log On menu selection.
When Leaving Protected Premises for Extended Periods
We recommend that the 4500 thermostat, the original thermostat, and the entire heating/cooling system be tested weekly, and always before leaving the premises for extended periods of time such as during vacation time. We recommend that your alarm system is monitored by a central station for system low battery and AC loss. Be sure to give your central station contact information of someone who can access the premises in the event the system loses AC power while you are away for an extended period of time, since a power outage may cause the heating/cooling system to become inoperable.
If you live in an area where temperatures can be extreme, it is important to dial into your security system periodically, as described earlier while away, to monitor premises temperatures. Follow procedures detailed on page 5 to hear ambient temperature status and on page 6 for making changes to the set-back settings in the thermostat program mode. If the heating, air conditioning, control system, electric power, or security system fails, you can call for service before any problems occur.
If any one of those systems fails it could result in failure of the heating/cooling system to maintain room temperature. Failure of the heating or cooling system could result in property damage or injury.
It is important to maintain your security and heating/cooling systems, and to periodically test your security system and heating/cooling system to insure proper operation.
To be sure the heating/cooling system is maintaining the room temperature at the set-back point you have programmed by phone, test the system as follows:
When you return home or by calling home while away, verify that the temperature inside the premises closely matches the set-back point initially programmed. Be sure that sufficient time has been allowed for the premises ambient temperature to stabilize. If the 4500 thermostat is not maintaining temperature as was programmed, first review the “ARMED AWAY” set-back point using the phone, and then check if the pre-existing thermostat is working as described in the next section.
If both thermostats are not working, call your heating/air conditioning service company for servicing of your system. If only the 4500 thermostat is not working properly, immediately set its front panel switch to BYPASS, thereby using the pre-existing thermostat to control your heating and cooling system, and call your alarm installation or service company for service.
Switch the front panel ACTIVE/BYPASS switch to BYPASS, and check that the pre-existing thermostat (not the 4500 thermostat) is working and able to control the heating/cooling system. If the pre-existing thermostat does not function, have it replaced, or call your heating or air conditioning service company.
If you need service for your security system or heating/air conditioning system:
