Hunter 44273 Programmable Thermostat

Know Your Thermostat

Your thermostat has been pre-programmed from the factory with no programming necessary. We recommend using these pre-programmed settings for a few days before altering them as they offer maximum energy-saving benefits. If you do decide to alter your programs, use the charts on page 13 to write out your scheduled times and temperatures. After you have recorded your preferences, follow the instructions on page 14 to alter your temperature settings. There is no need to program the thermostat on the wall where it is mounted! Remove the thermostat from the backplate by gripping the sides firmly and pulling it straight off. This allows you to program the thermostat in comfort. After you have programmed your thermostat, no other setting changes are necessary unless you wish to browse through the menu to see how you may further adjust the independent settings of your thermostat to meet your lifestyle. The features section starting on page 28 of this manual will describe these settings. Most settings have been preset for optimal performance. If you need any assistance with the installation or setup of your newHunter Thermostat, please call us, our technical support staff is ready to help!

Alerts

This chapter will outline the various alerts the thermostat will report to you and how to respond to them.

1. Low Battery: This icon will appear when your batteries are starting to run low on power and should be changed to avoid system interruptions, (Figure 1) Change the batteries by gripping the sides of the thermostat firmly and pulling straight back, (Figure  The batteries are located on the backside of the thermostat. The thermostat requires 2 (AA) batteries to operate. If you do not replace the batteries in a timely manner, the screen will go blank except for the low battery warning, (Figure 1b). Your system will shut down and will not operate until you replace the batteries. Replacing the batteries will clear this alert.
   Note: Settings will not be lost while replacing the batteries. They are stored in the thermostat’s memory.
2. Filter Change: When this icon appears on the screen, it indicates you should check your furnace filter to see if it needs to be replaced. To reset this counter see page 28.
3. Auxiliary Heat: On multi-stage heat pumps this alert indicates your second-stage heat is running

Menu Options

Under your Menu options, you have the ability to reset your filter counter, change your day/time settings, and change first and second stage spans. To change each setting, you will need to hit the Next button to move through each feature.

To access these options:

1. Press the Menu button.
2. If you need to reset your filter indicator on the screen use the +or- buttons to select “Y”. If you need to make no other changes press Done/ Home to return to the home screen, otherwise press Next. The next button will advance you through this option if you do not need to reset the filter counter. If you select “N” then the filter counter will not be reset and may continue to flash “Filter” on the screen if it was active before entering this menu.
3. Next, you are given the option of changing your day/time. You will use the same instructions as on 10 to change these settings. The buttons change the day of the week, am/pm, hour, and minutes. The Next or Back buttons browse through each option. Press Next to advance to your next feature from the minute’s adjustment.
   Note: If you do not need to change your time/day, just use the Next button until the screen shows updated and advances you to the next option
4. The next Menu option is to set your thermostat’s primary span. Use the or buttons to adjust between 1, 2, or, 3 degrees. Press Next after this has been changed or if no changes are necessary. The span setting regulates when and how long your system will run. The span has been set at the factory to 1 which will allow the system to turn on 1OF (.05OC) above or below the set temperature and run for 1OF (.05OC) above or below the set temperature. Example: If your thermostat is set to turn on at 72O in heat mode, with a span setting of 2, your thermostat will activate your furnace at 71O and shut it down when it reaches 73O. For cooling at 72O with a span of 2, your air conditioner will activate at 73O and shut down at 71O. This setting can be changed to 1, 2, or 3. 1 will shorten your running time while 3 will lengthen it.
5. Unless you have a multi-stage conventional or heat pump system, there is no need to change the second-stage span. If you do, use the or buttons to adjust between 1, 2, or, 3 degrees. Press Next once this has been changed or if no changes are necessary. The secondary span acts the same as your primary, but it determines when and how long your second stage heat runs.
6. The last menu option changes your temperature readings between Fahrenheit and Celcius. Use the +or -buttons to switch between them and hit Next if you need to go back and make a change to a different menu item, or Done/ Home to be returned to the home screen.

Additional Features

There is no need to stand at the wall where the thermostat is mounted while programming or changing settings. Simply remove the thermostat from the wall and make the necessary changes in the comfort of a chair. You can also set your programming and settings before you even install the thermostat.

Armchair Programming
Your thermostat has a blue LED lamp that backlights the display for easy viewing in the dark. When any key is pressed, the backlight will be activated. The display will stay illuminated for 15 seconds after the last key is pressed.

Blue Backlight
To protect your system from cycling, the system turns on and off rapidly, and your thermostat will prevent your system from turning back on for up to 3.5 minutes after it has been shut down.
