Read This Before Installing Thermostat

IMPORTANT

  1. Read the entire installation section of this to install or operate your Hunter Thermostat.
    REMOVE THE MYLAR LABEL FROM THE LCD DISPLAY WINDOW.

INSTALLATION
All installation is normally performed at your thermostat.

ARMCHAIR PROGRAMMING
You can program your thermostat before
installation by inserting the batteries and following the instructions starting on page 16. This can be done while you relax in your favorite chair and is a very good way to familiarize yourself with all the functions of your Hunter Thermostat.

OPERATION

Your Thermostat is designed to operate with air conditioning, or space heating units in use in the United States. This Hunter Thermostat will NOT control multi-stage heat pumps or 110/220 Volt systems.

COMPRESSOR PROTECTION 
5The thermostat provides a 3.5 minute delay after it can be restarted. This feature will prevent damage to your compressor caused by rapid cycling. Note that this delay also applies to the heating system control. It does not prevent a rapid compressor re-start due to short power outages.

TEMPERATURE RANGE
6Your thermostat can be programmed between display room temperatures from 0°C and 37°C (32°F to 99°F). “HI” will be displayed if the temperature is higher than 37°C (99°F), and “LO” will be displayed if the temperature is lower than 0°C (32°F).
This thermostat will automatically cut off in Heat mode if the temperature rises above 35°C (95°F), and automatically cut off in cool mode if the tem-perature drops below 7°C (45°F).

POWER FAILURE
Whenever the main power is interrupted or fails, rent time.

AUTO RECOVERY
Your thermostat is set from the factory to gradually recover the room temperature from an energy saving program to your comfort program. Therefore, the thermostat may turn your system on several minutes prior to your programmed time. This operation is nor-mal, but can be turned off. Refer to the Selector Switches information on page 24.

BATTERY WARNING
Fresh alkaline batteries should provide over one come drained, the Low Battery indicator will flash on the display. When this message occurs, install 2 new AA batteries. You have approximately 1 minute to

Press again. The thermostat will return to the current program, and the HOLD display will be canceled.

Vacation Override

(Programmable Hold)
This thermostat can hold a fixed temperature for a selected number of days (up to 30). After the selected number of days, the thermostat will return to normal program operation. This feature allows you to return home to your normal comfort setpoint temperatures.

Home Today

This Hunter patented feature allows you to quickly and temporarily override your energy saving program setting on days when you are normally away from home with one key press.Hunter-47300A-Programmable-Thermostat-fig-37

Energy Monitor

The Energy monitor feature measures and stores the amount of time the heating and air conditioning sys-tem operates. Usage can be displayed for Today (since 12am), Yesterday, This Week (since Monday), Last Week (last Monday through Sunday), and Total (up to 999 Hrs. 59 Min.). By monitoring your energy usage, you see how much the set-back periods are saving and you can test program adjustment to save even more. Use table on page 17.Hunter-47300A-Programmable-Thermostat-fig-40

NOTE: Clearing the Energy Monitor counter will also clear the Filter Monitor counter, as Filter usage and Total Energy usage are the same. Also, clearing the Filter Monitor counter will clear ALL Energy Monitor counters as well.

Filter Monitor

Your thermostat also keeps a record of the number of hours your filter has been in use. To maximize your system’s performance and energy efficiency, change or clean your filter regularly.

NOTE: Clearing the Filter Monitor counter will also clear ALL Energy Monitor counters, as Filter usage and Total Energy usage are the same. Also, clearing the Energy Monitor counters will clear the Filter Monitor counter as well.

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 setpoint temperature to a comfort setpoint temperature.
Auto Recovery calculates how early to turn your sys-tem back On, so that the room temperature is already comfortable by the start of the comfort temperature program period. Auto Recovery works in both Heat and Cool modes. For example, in Heat mode, you could have the follow-ing programs:

The room temperature fell to 16°C overnight. Rather than having the thermostat turning on at 6am, Auto Recovery would note the temperature difference be-tween 16°C and 20°C and turn the Heat on approxi-
mately 30 minutes early. Therefore, the room tempera-ture at 6am would be about 20°C instead of 16°C.

Details of Auto Recovery Operation:

SPAN Setting Mode
Your thermostat is set at the factory to cycle at 0.5˚C (1˚F) above and below the set temperature.(Span = 2) This setting has been designed to pro-vide a comfortable room temperature under most all conditions. However, if you find your system cycling too fast or too slow, then the Span can be adjusted to modify the cycle time.

The Span settings remain the same for both HEAT and COOL.
The Span can be changed at any time, and is inde-pendent of program times or temperatures. When batteries are installed in the thermostat, or the Reset key is pressed, the Span is reset back to setting 2.

Error Mode

Auto Cut Off
Your thermostat will automatically cut-off in Heat mode if the room temperature rises above 35˚C (95˚F). It will cut-off in Cool mode if the room temperature drops below 4˚C (40˚F).
NOTE: If your system has malfunctioned and no longer responds to thermostat controls, the Auto Cut-Off will have no effect.
