HONEYWELL CM61 Programmable Thermostat
What is a Programmable Thermostat?
The Honeywell CM61 is a programmable thermostat that controls your heating system so that you can have comfortable temperatures when you are at home and energy savings when you are away. It is important to understand that the CM61 is not a traditional “ON/OFF” controller but a “HI / LOW” temperature controller. This means that to program the heating to go ‘OFF’ at a particular time a lower (setback) temperature setpoint is entered which you would choose
to protect you and your home.
What will the CM61 Programmable Thermostat do for me?
Attractive slim styling makes it ideal for location in any suitable room in your home. Display Backlight illuminates the display when a key is pressed for easier viewing in low light conditions. 6 daily independent temperature levels let you set any 6 temperatures from 5 to 30°C to match your daily lifestyle. The holiday button saves energy by letting you reduce the temperature for 1 to 99 days while you are on holiday, returning to normal operation on the day you return.
Memory holds the user program indefinitely so that it is never lost even if you take the batteries out. Outside Temperature Sensor (optional accessory) can be fitted to the CM61 to display the outside temperature. Remote Temperature Sensor (optional accessory) can be fitted to the CM61 to control the temperature from another room. The optimum Start option is a program that ensures that the optimum temperature conditions are achieved at the required times as described below (not available on T6661B1040).
What is Optimum Start?
Optimum Start is an Energy Efficiency Feature that adjusts the start time of your heating system depending on how cold it is. On cold days your Heating will be started earlier to ensure that your home is warm when you get up and on warmer days the heating system will be started later to save energy. So, if the Optimum Start Feature is used, the time/temperature settings which are entered into the CM61 are when you want to be warm by and not when you want the heating to start.
