2-WIRE HEAT-ONLY (JUMPER INTACT)

Adjust Fan Operation Switch, as Required
The thermostat fan operation switch, labeled FUEL SWITCH (see Fig. 9) is factory set in the F position. This is the correct setting for most systems. If you have an electric heat system, set the switch to E. In systems with the G terminal connected, the E setting turns on the fan immediately with heating or cooling.

Adjust System On-Time as Required
The thermostat on-time is factory set for a warm air, gas or oil heating system. If you are installing it on another type of system, the system on-time must be adjusted by changing the setting of screws A and B on the back of the thermostat. Use the heating system table in Fig. 9 as a guide to minimize room temperature swings. The system on-time should be optimized according to the type of system. Setting the screw out one turn means turning the screw approximately 360°, or one complete turn.
NOTE: This thermostat does not have a setting for steam/ gravity air. Cycles would not be long enough for accurate temperature control.
NOTE: For condensing furnaces, follow manufacturer instructions.
IMPORTANT When using a high efficiency furnace such as a 90 percent or greater AFUE (Average Fuel Utilization Efficiency) unit, adjust screw A out one turn and screw B In one turn.
If you want a longer on-time, readjust screws A and B as follows (refer to Table 1 Compatibility Chart):

  • Warm Air Furnace—set at the Hot Water setting (A—out one turn, B—in).
  • Electric Furnace—leave at the Warm Air Furnace setting (A—in, B—in).
    NOTE: This thermostat does not have a setting for steam/ gravity air. Cycles would not be long enough for accurate temperature control.

Install Batteries

IMPORTANT Batteries must be installed for programming and operating the thermostat and heating/cooling system.

  1. Use two AA alkaline batteries; nonalkaline batteries will not last as long.
  2. Make sure the thermostat is set to the Off position.
  3. Use a coin to remove the battery door (see Fig. 10).
  4. Install the new batteries as shown, making sure positive and negative terminals are oriented correctly (see Fig. 11).
  5. Replace the battery door.

When the batteries are running low, a bAt Lo indicator will flash for one to two months before batteries run out completely. Replace the batteries as soon as possible after the indicator starts flashing. If the batteries are not replaced when the bAt Lo indicator is flashing, the indicator eventually stops flashing. When the batteries are almost completely dead, bAt Lo will stay on without flashing, indicating that the thermostat and heating/cooling system have stopped working. The thermostat will not function after the batteries are completely dead, and the bAt Lo indicator disappears, leaving a completely blank display.
To remove the batteries, press down on the left ends. When the new batteries are installed within 20 to 30 seconds of removing the old ones, the thermostat does not have to be reprogrammed. If the display is blank, the batteries are dead or incorrectly installed and the thermostat has to be reprogrammed. See Owner’s Manual for reprogramming instructions.

IMPORTANT 
Although the thermostat has a low battery indicator, replace the batteries once a year to prevent the thermostat from losing time and programming due to lack of battery power.

Mounting Thermostat

  1. Engage the tabs at the top of the thermostat and mounting plate. See Fig. 12.
  2. Press the lower edge of the case to latch.

CHECKOUT AND SETTINGS

After the thermostat is mounted on the mounting plate, check operation as follows:

Heating
Do not check the heating system operation by jumpering the thermostat terminals at the primary control such as the gas valve, zone valve, or oil burner control. This will damage the thermostat. Instead, you could jumper R and Rc wires at the thermostat.
Move the system switch to HEAT and the fan switch to AUTO.

 

Press the TEMP key until the setting is about 10°F (6°C) above the room temperature. After a short delay, the heating should start and the fan should run (immediately if fan operation switch is set in E position).
Press the TEMP key until the setting is about 10°F (6°C) below the room temperature. The heating equipment should shut off.
Cooling Cool   Off     Heat
To avoid possible compressor damage, do not operate the cooling system when the outside temperature is below 50°F (10°C). See the compressor manufacturer instructions for further information.

NOTE: When the cooling setting is changed, the thermostat can delay up to five minutes before turning on the air conditioner to protect the compressor.

Move the system switch to COOL and the fan switch to AUTO.

Press the TEMP key until the setting is about 10°F (6°C) below room temperature. The cooling equipment and fan should start.
Press the TEMP key until the setting is about 10°F (6°C) above the room temperature. The cooling equipment and fan should stop.
Move the system switch to OFF with the fan switch remaining at AUTO. The system and fan should be off.

 

Fan Switch

FAN AUTO: Normal setting for most homes. A single-speed fan turns on automatically with the air conditioner or furnace. A two-speed fan usually runs on high with the air conditioner and on low with the furnace.

FAN ON: The fan runs continuously. Use for improved air circulation during special occasions or for more efficient electronic air cleaning.

System Switch

COOL: The thermostat controls the air conditioning system.

OFF: Both the heating and air conditioning systems are off.

HEAT: The thermostat controls the heating system.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IF… THEN…
Display will not come on. •    Set the system switch to OFF; remove batteries; insert backward for at least

five seconds to reset thermostat; replace batteries correctly. Display should come on.

•    Make sure batteries are fresh and installed correctly.
Temperature display will not go lower than 45°F (7°C) or higher than 88°F (31°C) during programming. •    The temperature setting limit has been reached. The setting range is 45°F to 88°F (7°C to 31°C).
Heating will not come on. •    If the display is blank or displays bAt Lo, install fresh batteries.
•    Check that the switch on the thermostat is set to HEAT.
•    Check the system fuse or circuit breaker and replace or reset if necessary.
•    If the temperature setting is higher than the current temperature, and SYSTEM ON indicator is lit, see the furnace manufacturer instructions.
Cooling will not come on. •    If the display is blank or displays bAt Lo, install fresh batteries.
•    In 2- or 4-wire installations, verify that the R-Rc jumper is installed.
•    Check that the switch on the thermostat is set to COOL.
•    Check the system fuse or circuit breaker and replace or reset if necessary.
•    The thermostat has a built-in time delay on cooling. Allow five to ten minutes after changing the setting before the air conditioner starts.
•    If the temperature setting is lower than the current temperature, and the SYSTEM ON indicator is lit, move the system switch from COOL to OFF for ten minutes.
•    After ten minutes, return the switch to the COOL position. If the air conditioner comes on, the compressor could have reached its high limit temperature protection and shut down. If the air conditioner does not come on after ten minutes and the SYSTEM ON indicator is lit, see the air conditioner manufacturer instructions.
SYSTEM ON indicator is lit, but no heat is coming from the registers. •    Allow time for the furnace to heat up and the fan to come on before checking for heat at the register. Check to make sure system on-time is set correctly according to the instructions in the Installation section.
Furnace or air conditioner cycles too frequently. •    Check the system setting on the back of thermostat.
The system on-time is too short or too long. •    Readjust according to the instructions in the Installation Section.
The thermostat current setting does not match the display temperature. •    Check that the wiring hole in the wall behind the wallplate was plugged with insulation to prevent drafts that could adversely affect thermostat operation.
•    It is normal for the current setting and display temperature to differ occasionally.
bAt Lo remains on the display after fresh batteries have been installed. •    Remove batteries. Wait one hour. Install fresh alkaline batteries.
