Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-PRODUCT

Your new Hunter® thermostat has been built with the quality and dependability you have come to trust in our products. Installed properly, your new thermostat will provide many years of comfortable and reliable service. This manual will walk you through the settings and features of this thermostat.

Quick Start

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. If you do decide to alter your programs, choose which programming option will best fit your schedule. Use the blank chart at the beginning of the programming section to write out your scheduled times and temperatures. Then skip to the instructions that coincide with that of the one you wish to use. Follow these instructions to set up your programs. After you have programmed your thermostat, no other setting changes are necessary unless you wish to browse through the features section to see how you may further adjust the independent setting of your thermostat to meet your lifestyle. However, this is not necessary. Most setting has been preset to accommodate optimal performance.

Programming Introduction

Studies conducted by the Department of Energy estimate that setting your thermostat back 10°F (6°C) for two 8-hour periods (When you are away and asleep) during winter can reduce your fuel bill by as much as 33%. By setting your thermostat up 5°F (3°C) for two 8-hour periods during summer you can reduce your fuel bill by up to 25%. Other independent studies reveal that setting the thermostat a few degrees above comfort in summer and below your comfort level in winter, during peak running hours, and using a ceiling fan to add comfort, can save up to $500 a year in energy costs. Depending on usage and location. (See the chart on this page).

Read the programming section thoroughly to ensure you understand your programming options and which will best fit your lifestyle. The following notes should help you with programming:

  • The program time can be set in 10-minute increments and remains the same for both Heat and Cool programs.
  • The programmed temperature can be set in increments of 1°F (1°C).
  • The Heat set point can not be set higher than the Cool set point, and the Cool set point can not be set lower than the Heat set point except when the thermostat has been manually overridden.
  • If the system selector is in AUTO mode, the current operating mode will be used for programming.
  • After 15 seconds without a key press, the thermostat will return to normal display mode.
  • When setting the program time, note the AM / PM indicator.
  • With the Auto Recovery feature enabled, you do not need to set your comfort program times early. Auto Recovery will determine how early to turn your system on so that the room is comfortable at the program time.
  • To check your set temperature press the Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.2once from the main screen and the current set temperature will be displayed for 1 second then revert back to the main display.

Armchair Programming

There is no need to stand at the wall where the thermostat is mounted while programming or changing features. 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 features before you even install the thermostat.

Day / Time

The first step in programming your thermostat is to set the current time and day.
To set the current time and day:
Press the day/time button once to activate the day/time programming mode. The hour will be flashing. Use yourHunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.2buttons to change the hour.
NOTE: Remember, you must pass the 12th hour when setting your time to move between AM and PM modes unless in 24-hour time.
Press the day/time button again to move to minutes. Use the buttons to adjust your minutes. Press the day/time button once more to see the current day flashing. TheHunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.2buttons will also change between the days of the week. Once set, press ret/clear to return to the main screen.

Remote Sensor Programming (Model 44668 only)

Your thermostat can support 3 remote sensors that will measure the temperature from three different locations, two indoor and one outdoor. It is recommended you follow the instructions for setting up the remote sensor in the Remote Sensor Instruction Pamphlet before proceeding.
To configure your thermostat to work with the remote sensors:
This thermostat comes with one sensor that allows for temperature reading or control in an alternate location, away from the thermostat. Up to 2 other sensors can be used in conjunction with the thermostat.Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.3 is for sensor Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.4, sensor 2, and Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.5is for the outdoor sensor.
Press the options button 8 times to reach “channel”. Press the “ Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.6sensor” button to select which sensor to set up. You may select sensorHunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.3, sensor Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.4, or outdoor sensor.
Once this has been chosen, use the Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.2buttons to change the channel on the thermostat to the communication channel set on the sensor.
Note: The channel number has to match the channel number displayed in the bottom right corner of the sensor display after it has been set.
At this time you can press the “Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.6sensor” button again and set up another sensor, or press ret/clear to return to the main screen.

Your thermostat has the ability to operate by 3 different temperature settings with the remote sensor. You can choose to have only the thermostat report temperature to your programs or hold settings, just the sensor, or an average of the 2. This allows you some custom control over the temperature in your home. If your bedroom is “the coldest/hottest room in the house”, you may decide to set up the remote sensor in your bedroom, and have your “sleep” program set to run by the remote sensor only, or an average of the temperature displayed on the remote sensor and the thermostat. This will allow your system to heat/cool your home to meet the sensor or average temperature between the sensor/thermostat.
To set a program to utilize the sensor options:
While you are setting up your programs you have the ability to set the temperature reporting location for that program by either the thermostat, the sensor, or an average of the 2. To set this within the program, press the “ Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.6sensor” button until you reach the desired reporting combination. They are identified asHunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.3 for sensor Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.71, for the thermostat, andHunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.3 Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.7to average 2.

The vacation hold will return to the main screen after 5 seconds of the last key press.
Note: Auto season changeover will not operate in vacation hold. You will need to ensure your system is in the appropriate system mode for your season, heat or cool.

Auto Season Changeover

Auto season changeover allows you the option of setting your thermostat to switch between heating and cooling modes automatically. The thermostat’s system mode must be in auto for the auto season changeover feature to work. We recommend keeping your programmed heating and cooling temperatures at least 4°F (3°C) apart to allow the auto season changeover to occur. However, if your heating and cooling programs’ set temperatures are close, there is a built-in program to prevent the thermostat from changing unnecessarily.
Auto Season Changeover is disabled when the thermostat is in Temporary or Permanent Override, or Vacation Hold, as these overrides are energy-saving settings. While in any of these modes, “auto” will be temporarily removed from the LCD display. “auto” will return when these holds are cleared. Auto Season Changeover will still function in Home Today mode, as this is a comfortable setting.
Example: If your Heat is set to 68°F and your cooling is set to 78°F, auto season changeover would work as follows. If the room temperature rises above 78°F, then the thermostat will automatically change to cool mode and turn on the air conditioner. Likewise, the thermostat will automatically change to heat mode and turn on the heat when the room temperature falls below 68°F.

Home Today

This Hunter patented feature allows you to temporarily override your program settings on days when you are normally away from home with one key press.
Press “ Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.8home today” to enter the home today override. The highest program temperature for today will be selected from your programs in Heat mode and become the set temperature. (In Cool mode, the lowest program temperature will be the set temperature.) “Home” will alternate on the display with the day and any other messages.
When activated during program 1 or 2, home today will automatically return to program control at the start of program 4 that day. If home today is pressed after the start of program 3, the thermostat will remain in the home today mode until program 1 the next day. If home today is already active, you may extend it to program 1 of the next day by pressing “Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.8 home today” again after the start time of the third program. If the system is changed between Heat and Cool modes (either manually or by Auto Season Changeover) during the “Home Today” override period, the set point temperature will be automatically updated. It will automatically change from the highest heat program set point to the lowest cool program set point, or from the lowest cool program set point to the highest heat program set point.
Press ret/clear to exit home today mode before the scheduled ending time. The home will be removed from the screen, and the thermostat will return to the current program.
To change the temperature manually:
Press and hold the Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.2 buttons for 1 second or until the screen blinks. Then use the arrow buttons to adjust the temperature. Manually changing the set temperature will not affect the Home Today ending time. However, the set temperature will not change automatically with a manual or Automatic change between heating and cooling. You may also press the “Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.8 home today” key while in a temporary manual override. The operation is the same as the point above.

Features

System Protection

The thermostat provides a 3.5-minute delay after shutting off the heating or cooling system before it can be restarted. This feature will prevent damage to your system caused by rapid cycling.

Low Battery Indicator

Two fresh AA alkaline batteries should provide one year of service (depending on backlight usage). However, when the batteries become drained, the Low Battery Indicator will flash on the display. when this message occurs, install new alkaline batteries.
You have approximately one minute to change the batteries and keep the thermostat’s clock and program settings.

Temperature Range

Your thermostat can be programmed between 45°F and 95°F (7°C and 35°C). However, it will display room temperatures from 15°F to 99°F (-9°C and 37°C). “HI” will be displayed if the temperature is higher than 99°F (37°C), and “LO” will be displayed if the temperature is lower than 15°F (-9°C).

Auto Recovery

Hunter’s Auto Recovery feature meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency by allowing the heating or cooling system to recover gradually from an energy-saving set point temperature to a comfortable set point temperature. Auto Recovery calculates how early to turn your system on, up to 30 minutes, so that the room temperature is already comfortable by the start of the next program period. Without auto recovery, your system would reach the next program period, turn on your system and run until the set temperature had been met. Auto Recovery works in both Heat and Cool modes.

For example: If program 4 was set to run your heat, starting at 10:00 pm at 60oF until program 1 activates at 6:00 am at 68oF, auto recovery would note the temperature difference between 60°F and 68°F and turn the Heat on approximately 30 minutes early. Therefore, the room temperature at 6 am would be about 68°F instead of 60°F at the start of program 1.

  • When the thermostat is in Auto Recovery mode, the display will alternate “RECOVERY” with the day, and the program indicator will flash.
  • Auto Recovery will not operate if a Permanent hold, Vacation hold Temporary hold or Home Today is in operation.
  • Auto Recovery can be canceled manually if ret/clear is pressed during the recovery process. If a recovery process is canceled manually then the recovery process will not start again until the next program period starts (an exception is that if the time or program is changed then the thermostat will check Auto Recovery conditions immediately).
  • Auto Recovery will be canceled and changed to Temporary Manual Override mode if the set point is adjusted during the recovery process.
  • If the system changes between heat and cool (automatically or manually) then the thermostat will recalculate Auto Recovery again. The set point temperature will be changed to the opposite system’s comfort temperature if the recovery entry criteria are still met. Otherwise, the recovery process will be canceled and return to program control mode.

To activate or cancel auto recovery:
Press the options button 7 times to reach “recovery”. Press the Hunter-44660-Programmable-Thermostat-FIG.2 buttons to set your preference. Press ret/clear or wait 15 seconds to return to the main display.
