WHAT IS A PROGRAMMER?
…an Explanation for Householders (as recommended by the Energy Savings Trust)
Programmers allow you to set ‘On’ and ‘O ff’ time periods. Some models switch the central heating and domestic hot water on and off at the s ame time, while others allow the domestic hot water and heating to come on and go off at different times. Set the ‘On’ and ‘Off’ time periods to suit your own lifestyle. On some programmers you must also set whether you want the heating and hot water to run continuously, run under the c hosen ‘On’ and ‘Off’ heating periods, or be permanently off. The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types have to be adjusted in spring and autumn at the changes between Greenwi ch Mean Time and British Summer Time. You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating programme, for example, ‘Override’, ‘Adv ance’, or ‘Boost’. These are explained in the manufacturer’s instr uctions. The heating will not work if the room thermostat has switched the heating off. And, if you have a hot-water cylinder, the water heating will not work if the cylinder thermostat detects that the hot water has reached the correct temperature.

Energy Efficiency and the Environment
Home energy use is responsible for more than ¼ of the total UK carbon emissions which contribute to climate change. Heating and hot water systems based on boilers account for of this figure, so it is important to understand how your controls can help to maximize energy efficiency while maintaining your comfort.
Your Programmer should be used in conjunction with appropriate temperature controls. In order to save energy the following general points should be observed:

General Description
Your Honeywell Home ST9400C provides timing control for both your central heating and hot water systems, letting you set ON and OFF periods to suit your own lifestyle.
The ST9400C does not directly control the temperature but works together with other temperature controls, such as room thermostats and cylinder thermostats, to control your heating and hot water system in your home.
With 7-day programming and up to 3 on/off periods per day, every day can be set differently, and heating and hot water can be set at different times from each other.
The following instructions explain how to programme and use the ST9400C to provide the most home comfort at the least cost.
The way to use a Programmer
Think about the time periods when you are typically in the house and when you are not, and also the times when you use a lot of hot water. These are the times you should use as the basis for the programmes. It will be necessary to allow some heat-up time for the heating system after periods when it has been off – this would typically be 1 – 1½ hours, depending on your house and your preferences.
Other features are commonly available on the Programmer to enhance comfort and convenience, for example, OVERRIDE, EXTRA HOUR, and MODE buttons.
A typical use of the OVERRIDE feature is when you return home unexpectedly for the rest of the day and the heating is off. Just press the heating OVERRIDE button and the heating will come on until the next programme time, at which point it will follow the normal programme. The advantage here is that you do not have to remember to switch off because the normal time programme does this for you.
A typical use of the EXTRA HOUR button would be if you returned to the house for a short period when the heating and hot water were off. Pressing the appropriate EXTRA HOUR button gives you 1, 2, or 3 hours of heating, exactly when you need it. Another typical use is when the heating is already on and you want it to stay on a little longer – just press EXTRA HOUR and, for that day only, an hour will be added to the end of the time at which heating normally goes off.
The MODE buttons allow you to select how you want to operate heating and hot water independently. The most obvious use is to switch heating OFF during the summer months, but you may also use this feature if you take a mid-week day off work, you can then set the MODE to ONCE to keep the system ON during the day from the first programmed ON time till the last programmed OFF time.
GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR ST9400C
Your ST9400C should have been set up to work correctly when it was installed. However, the following will show you how you can modify your settings to meet your particular lifestyle.
To assist you with programming and everyday use your ST9400C will display text messages at every stage to help you get the most out of your central heating and hot water system. The ST9400C uses LoT™ Technology to constantly update the display to give you feedback about what is required.
Step 1: Setting the Date & Time
Your ST9400C had the date and time set at the factory, and these are normally maintained by a backup battery in the event of power failures. If you wish to change the date or time, or if the LoT™ Display shows the message ‘SET DATE + TIME’ just follow the instructions below. Otherwise, go to Step 2.
Step 2: Running a Built-in Programme
With the date and time correct, your ST9400C Programmer will now be operating to the built-in programmes. These have been designed to provide heating and hot water at typical times throughout the day, but if you want to customise the settings, please see the next section ‘PROGRAMMING YOUR ST9400C’ (page 6).
The Built-in Programmes
The built-in programmes give you a starting point that you can personalise to your own requirements. Your Installer should have selected one and ticked the box alongside it. If there is no tick, the product normally leaves the factory with Profile A installed, but it is a simple matter to select one of the other profiles (see Changing the Installer Parameters, page 12).

Modifying the Hot Water Programme
The hot water programme has three pairs of ON/OFF switching times per day. Each time can be set between 3.00 am and 2.50 am (on the next day) to allow you to programme the hot water to stay on past midnight, if required.
Exiting HOT WATER Programming Mode:
To exit HOT WATER programming mode, move the slider to the RUN position. This can be done at any time during the programming process, and any changes made and confirmed with the
Note: If the unit is left in HOT WATER Programming mode for more than 10 minutes without the slider being moved or any buttons pressed, the message ‘MOVE SLIDER’ will be displayed. Press a button to finish programming, or move the slider to the RUN position.
Modifying the Heating Programme
The heating programme has three pairs of ON/OFF switching times per day. Each time can be set between 3.00 am and 2.50 am (on the next day) to allow you to programme the heating to stay on past midnight, if required.
Exiting HEATING Programming Mode:
To exit HEATING programming mode, move the slider to the RUN position. This can be done at any time during the programming process, and any changes made and confirmed with the
Note: If the unit is left in HEATING Programming mode for more than 10 minutes without the slider being moved or any buttons pressed, the message ‘MOVE SLIDER’ will be displayed. Press a button to finish programming, or move the slider to the RUN position.
Disabling / Enabling Time Periods (for Heating and/or Hot Water)
To disable any of the time periods ON 1 to OFF 1, ON 2 to OFF 2, or ON 3 to OFF 3, simply set the ON time and its paired OFF time to the same time, and the programme will just ignore them.
To re-enable the time period, simply set the two ON and OFF times to be different.
Choosing the Operating Mode (for Heating and/or Hot Water)
The operating mode may only be changed when the slider is set to the RUN position. A green INDICATOR LAMP shows when the heating or hot water is switched ON.
Two MODE buttons are provided to select the Operating Mode and therefore how the heating and hot water are controlled. Heating has four possible Operating Modes; these are OFF, AUTO, ONCE, CONT. Pressing the heating MODE button scrolls round these modes in sequence, and the display indicates which mode is currently active.
The hot water MODE button operates in the same way as described above for the heating MODE button.
Overriding the Operation Without Changing the Programmes
In AUTO and ONCE operating modes, the OVERRIDE buttons switch the heating or hot water ON or OFF without altering the programme.
When the indicator lamp is ON, pressing the OVERRIDE button switches the heating or hot water OFF until the next programmed ON time.
When the indicator lamp is OFF, pressing the OVERRIDE button switches the heating or hot water ON until the next programmed OFF time.
The LoT™ Display will provide you with information about the override.
The Extra Hour Function (for Heating and/or Hot Water)
The EXTRA HOUR buttons allow you to switch the heating or hot water ON for up to 3 extra hours without altering the programme. Pressing either button once will give one extra hour. The LoT™ Display will display the message ‘+ 1 HOUR’, to confirm the button has been pressed.
When the green INDICATOR LAMP is OFF, pressing an EXTRA HOUR button switches the heating or hot water ON for just one hour.
When the green INDICATOR LAMP is ON, pressing an EXTRA HOUR button extends the programmed ON period by one hour.
Further presses of the EXTRA HOUR buttons will increase the extra hour period by one hour for each button press, up to a maximum of 3 hours. The LoT™ Display will continue to provide information on the extra hour status.
To cancel the extra hours, just keep pressing the EXTRA HOUR button until the ‘CANCELLED’ message appears on the LoT™ Display.
The Holiday function allows you to switch off your heating and hot water for a specified number of days (from 1-99 days). This lets you save energy and related costs when you are away from home, but resumes normal operation on the day of your return.
To set the Holiday function:
To cancel the Holiday function:
Changing from AM/PM Time Display to the 24 Hour Clock
Your ST9400C can operate on the 12 hour AM/PM or 24 hour clock formats. To change the format, ensure the slider is in the RUN position then press and hold the
Repeating this procedure will change the clock display back to the original format.

How do I set the time only, if the ST9400C clock is not correct?
Your ST9400C contains a very accurate digital clock that is factory pre-set. Should you ever need to change the time, just follow this procedure:
What do I do when the clocks go back in October and forward in March?
Your ST9400C is factory-set to adjust the clock automatically at the correct dates, so you should never need to adjust the clock forward or backwards yourself. It is possible to disable this particular feature, as described in the section ‘Changing the Installer Parameters’ (page 12). You may also check the section ‘Configuration & Service Data’ (page 18) to see how your Installer has configured your product.
What should I do if I get ‘lost’ while programming the ST9400C?
The LoT™ Display on ST9400C will provide you with help and tips to work through the programming. Should you ever get ‘lost’, the simplest thing to do is to move the slider to the RUN position, and then move it back to the appropriate programming position where you got lost. At this point just follow the instructions again.
What happens if there is a power failure?
In the event of a mains power failure, the ST9400C display will go blank, the indicator lamps will go out, and the control outputs will switch off. The real time will be constantly maintained by means of the built-in battery backup, ready to power back up as if nothing had happened when the mains power is restored. In addition, all programmes and settings are stored in a special memory (called NV memory) which requires no power to maintain information, and so will be retained indefinitely.
Should the correct time and date ever be lost, for whatever reason, the message ‘SET DATE + TIME’ will be displayed whilst the slider is in the RUN position. In this case, simply follow the procedure described under ‘Step 1: Setting the Date & Time’ (page 4). It should not be necessary to make any changes to your programmes.
This is a quick guide to help you diagnose and cope with possible problems with ST9400C. For further assistance, please contact your Installer.

Call Installer to check if this is correct for your heating system. |
You need only refer to this section if:
What is a Mini-Programmer?
In a poorly controlled gravity circulation hot water system, whenever the boiler comes on to service the heating, there will inevitably be some circulation though the hot water storage tank, which will then heat up.
So, whenever the HEATING is ON, the HOT WATER is also ON.
It is therefore NOT possible to have independent programmes for heating and hot water, so it is only necessary to enter one time programme.
If you have this type of installation (gravity circulation hot water circuit WITHOUT a hot water control valve), your Installer should have restricted the ST9400C Programmer to be a Mini-Programmer.
This section describes how to use the product as a Mini-Programmer.
Modifying the Heating & Hot Water Programme
The heating & hot water programme has three pairs of ON/OFF switching times per day. Each time can be set between 3.00 am and 2.50 am (on the next day) to allow you to programme the heating & hot water to stay on past midnight, if required.
Exiting Heating & Hot Water Programming Mode:
To exit HEATING Programming mode, move the slider to the RUN position. This can be done at any time during the programming process, and any changes made and confirmed with the
Note: If the unit is left in HEATING Programming mode for more than 10 minutes without the slider being moved or any buttons pressed, the message ‘MOVE SLIDER’ will be displayed. Press a button to finish programming, or move the slider to the RUN position.
Disabling / Enabling Time Periods
To disable any of the time periods ON 1 to OFF 1, ON 2 to OFF 2, or ON 3 to OFF 3, simply set the ON time and its paired OFF time to the same time, and the programme will just ignore them.
To re-enable the time period, simply set the two ON and OFF times to be different.
Choosing the Operating Mode
In a Mini-Programmer, some Operating Modes are not possible. For example, HEATING in AUTO mode and HOT WATER in OFF mode is not allowed. When configured, your ST9400C knows which combinations of Operating Mode are possible, and only permits those combinations that are allowed.
Override and Extra Hour Functions
When you use the hot water OVERRIDE or EXTRA HOUR functions, they will operate as normal. However, the heating OVERRIDE or EXTRA HOUR functions will also bring on the hot water. This is a consequence of the type of system you have, and is perfectly normal.
Other Functions
All other functions operate the in the same way as for the standard ST9400C.
