Honeywell TL9160AR Wireless Thermostat 

Before you begin

Do you know your thermostat configuration?

To know whether your new thermostat is configured in programmable mode or non-programmable mode, look for the time and day display on the thermostat screen. If the time and day appear on the screen, the thermostat is configured as a programmable thermostat.
Refer to the table of contents on the next page for sections that apply to your thermostat configuration.

Thermostat display in non-programmable mode

If your thermostat is configured in programmable mode, see more description on page 8.\

Setting the temperature

Countdown mode

Press Countdown to set a new temperature and to select the time you wish to hold this temperature setting. The thermostat will return to its previous or programmed temperature setting at the end of the countdown time. The countdown time is selectable from 15 minutes to 14 days.
The Countdown mode is not available when the thermostat is locked.

Thermostat display in programmable mode

The thermostat displays the current time and day when the thermostat is configured in programmable mode. When the thermostat is following the schedule, it also displays the current period of the schedule: Wake, Leave, Return or Sleep. The period is not displayed when the thermostat is placed in Temporary Hold or Permanent Hold.

Following the heating schedule

Run Schedule appears on the screen when the thermostat is following the programmed schedule. Your thermostat has been programmed with an energy-saving schedule which can reduce your heating expenses.

	Monday to Friday (Mo, Tu, We, Th & Fr)		Saturday and Sunday (Sa & Su)
Period	Starting time	Temperature	Starting time	Temperature
Wake	6:00 AM (6h)	70°F (21.0°C)	8:00 AM (8h)	70°F (21.0°C)
Leave	8:00 AM (8h)	62°F (16.5°C)	– – – –	– –
Return	6:00 PM (18h)	70°F (21.0°C)	– – – –	– –
Sleep	10:00 PM (22h)	62°F (16.5°C)	10:00 PM (22h)	62°F (16.5°C)

The schedule consists of 4 periods per day, which represents a typical weekday. However, you can program the thermostat to skip (cancel) the periods that do not apply to your situation. For example, Leave and Return periods are skipped for the weekend in the default schedule. You can choose a different program every day; i.e., each period can have a different starting time and a different temperature every day.

Setting the time and the date

* Copy will appear only if the thermostat is linked to a remote control or an outdoor sensor.

When this function is enabled, the thermostat switches to daylight savings time on the second Sunday of March and to normal time on the first Sunday of November. When the function is disabled, the thermostat keeps the normal time all year long.

Modifying the heating schedule

The groups are: Mo-Fr, Sa-Su and Mon-Su. Selecting a group will apply the changes to all the days within that group.

If you wish to clear a period (e.g., you may want to skip the Leave and Return periods if you stay home all day), select the period (step 4) and press and simultaneously. The time and temperature settings appear as dashes when the period is cleared.
The Wake period cannot be erased.

Temporary Hold

Use Temporary Hold mode to temporarily bypass the schedule and set a new temperature. The thermostat will hold the new temperature during the current period. The thermostat will resume the heating schedule when the next period starts or if you press Cancel.

1. Press or until the desired temperature is displayed.
2. Press Temporary.
3. At any time, you can press Cancel to follow the schedule.

Permanent Hold

Use Permanent Hold mode to bypass the schedule and set a new temperature for an indefinite period of time. To resume the heating schedule, press Cancel.

1. Press or until the desired temperature is displayed.
2. Press Permanent.
3. At any time, you can press Cancel to follow the schedule.

Copying the heating schedule

Use the Copy function to transmit the schedule settings of this thermostat to other EConnect™ wireless thermostats in your house.
This function is available only if the thermostat is connected to a remote control or to an outdoor sensor. The schedule settings are transmitted to any other thermostat connected to the same remote control or outdoor sensor.

1. Press Menu.
2. Select Copy.
3. Press OK.
4. Wait flashes when the schedule settings are transmitted to the other thermostats (this can last up to 2 minutes).
5. Done appears when the transmission is completed.
6. Press Exit twice to return to the home screen.

Advanced setup

Setup functions	Default setting	Options
Temperature and time formats *	°F	°C / °F
	12h	12h / 24h
Adaptive Intelligent Recovery **	On	On / Off
Programmable mode (Schedule) ***	On	On / Off

• You can set the temperature display unit in °C or °F. You can set the time display format in 12-hour or 24-hour (military time) if the thermostat is in programmable mode.
• Accessible only if you use the thermostat in programmable mode.
  When Adaptive Intelligent Recovery is on, the thermostat “learns” how long your heater takes to reach the set temperature. The thermostat will then determine when to activate heating so the desired temperature is attained at the desired time. The thermostat re-assesses the heating start time daily based on the previous day’s performance. When Adaptive Intelligent Recovery is off, heating starts at the set time.
• Leave at On to use the thermostat in programmable mode. Place at Off to use the thermostat in nonprogrammable mode.

Accessing the advanced setup menu

These parameters are available only if the thermostat is configured in programmable mode.

Replacing the batteries

Thermostat

Install 2 new alkaline AA batteries when the Low Battery warning starts flashing. It is recommended to replace batteries once a year, or when you will be away for more than a month.
To access the batteries, pull the thermostat from its mounting plate. You will need to set the time and date if new batteries are not inserted within 2 minutes after the old ones are removed. However, other settings are not erased.
After new batteries are installed, the thermostat will automatically restore communication with the wireless network within a few minutes.
Outdoor air sensor
Install 2 new AA lithium batteries when the Outdoor Air Sensor Low Battery warning starts flashing on the thermostat’s screen. To access the batteries, remove the sensor from the bracket and remove the sensor cover.
After new batteries are installed, the sensor will automatically restore communication with the wireless network within a few minutes.

In case of difficulty / Error codes

• Heating system does not respond
  Check circuit breaker and reset if necessary
• “Signal Lost” appears on the screen
  The thermostat has lost communication with the wireless network (usually due to power outage). Otherwise, check circuit breaker and reset if necessary. When power is restored, the wireless communication will be restored within a few minutes.
• The thermostat displays “LO”
  The indoor temperature is below 32°F (0°C).
• The thermostat displays “HI”
  The indoor temperature is above 140°F (60°C).
• The thermostat displays “- -”
  The temperature reading is currently unavailable or the sensor is defective.
