Home Screen Current Conditions & Temperature Settings

 

The HOME screen (figure 2) displays indoor temperature and outdoor temperature if the outdoor sensor is installed. Another system operational information, such as indoor relative humidity (if turned on in user settings), dehumidifying, cooling, or heating, will alternately be displayed in the information display
Equipment operation information appears in the boxes along the left side of the home screen to indicate cooling or heating equipment operation the setting, and whether scheduled programming is ON or OFF. From these boxes, users can change the unit’s mode to HEAT, COOL, AUTO (auto changeover − default), EM HEAT (emergency heat for heat pump applications including dual fuel and HP with Electric Heat), or OFF. The user can also decide whether to operate the unit per the programmable schedule, or in a non−programmable mode using the SCHED box.

Controlling the Heat/Cool Modes of Operation

 

On initial power-up or after a power loss over 2 hours, the thermostat powers up at the HOME screen in the AUTO position. If it powers up after a power loss of fewer than 2 hours, it assumes the last mode set. Pressing MODE repeatedly scrolls through all the modes AUTO, EM HEAT, COOL, HEAT, then back to OFF. HEAT, COOL and OFF modes are as each name implies. AUTO (autochangeover) allows the thermostat to switch between Heating and Cooling, whichever mode is dictated by the indoor temperature.

EM HEAT (emergency heat) bypasses the first stage of heating (any stage[s] of heat pump heating) and goes directly to the heat stage used for maximum heating to more quickly warm a very cold house. When the indoor temperature decreases or increases, the HEATING or COOLING cycle will turn on based on the displayed mode. When the HVAC system is on, the INFORMATION DISPLAY AREA (shown in figure 3) will display one or several operational messages (listed in the table below). If the outdoor sensor is connected and is turned on in both installer and user settings, the outdoor temperature will be included in the displays. The table below summarizes the information messages When the faults, errors, and service information displays appear, dynamic keys will appear under the second line entries, REMIND, CLEAR, SERVICE, or RESET. Press the box to perform the action.

Controlling the Fan Operation

If the backlight is not on continuously, press the screen anywhere to turn it on the backlight. Press the OPTIONS tab to access the FAN mode control. Press the FAN button; repeated presses scroll through all the modes, AUTO, ON, and CIRC (circulate).

• AUTO the fan is following schedule.
• The fan is NOT following the schedule and runs continuously until it is changed from the OPTIONS screen.
• CIRC fan is following a schedule and cycles during periods of equipment inactivity. Cycle time is dependent on user settings FAN CIRCULATE (Page 10).

If the FAN mode displays AUTO and ON or CIRC was selected during scheduling for the current period, the thermostat will indicate the current fan mode in the information display (FAN ON or FAN CIRC). In the CIRC mode, the user can cycle the fan for a programmed percentage of active time per hour, during periods of equipment inactivity (i.e., heating or cooling equipment not running). The fan is ON for 5 minutes at a time. The user may change the percentage of ON time that the fan is on (see FAN CIRCULATE [Page 10]): Fan Program The user can program the fan to be ON, AUTO, or CIRC during a program event period. While scheduling the event, if the fan is set to ON, it will remain on during the entire event. If it is set to CIRC, it will circulate during equipment inactivity per user programmable cycles (see FAN CIRCULATE, Page 10). If set to AUTO, the fan will come on with the equipment to serve the heating/cooling demand and go off accordingly.

NOTE − When the OPTIONS screen FAN mode is changed to ON or CIRC, whatever was scheduled is ignored − the fan will either be ON or it will CIRCULATE per the user−programmed intervals (USER SETTINGS − FAN CIRCULATE (Page 10). When FAN-AUTO is selected in the OPTIONS screen, the schedule IS followed. In the CIRC mode, the user can cycle the fan for a programmed percentage of active time per hour, during periods of equipment inactivity (i.e., heating or cooling equipment not running). The fan is ON for 5 minutes at a time. The user may change the percentage of ON time that the fan is on (see FAN CIRCULATE [Page 10]):

Controlling the Schedule

If the backlight is not on continuously, press the screen anywhere to turn it on the backlight. From the HOME screen press SCHED; repeated presses toggle the schedule ON and OFF. If ON, the system follows the program developed by the user (Page 7). If OFF, the system operates as a non−programmable thermostat the user must make changes when desired. The autochangeover feature continues to operate based on manual user inputs. The fan mode is displayed on the SCHEDULE screen when programming the thermostat and can be changed only during scheduled editing (after EDIT is pressed). Fan settings in the OPTIONS screen will OVERRIDE the scheduled fan operation.

Schedule tab programming
If the backlight is not on continuously, press the screen anywhere to turn it on the backlight. Press the SCHEDULE tab at the top of the screen. The display changes to programming mode (figure 4) and shows the current settings.

EVENTS DAILY 2 OR 4
The thermostat may be programmed for two or four (default) events per day. The names for the events are WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN, and SLEEP. The selected time for an event to occur is based on when you want the event to begin. Four events (default) are common for working households. To change to two events per day, see page 10. When set for two events per day, the display would appear as WAKE (or SLEEP) PERIOD BEGINS”.

 

Programming may be performed in groups of days or individual days, as follows:

• MON TO SUN − allows every day to be set the same.
• MON TO FRI (weekday programming) and SAT TO SUN (weekend programming).
• MONDAY through SUNDAY allows individual days of the week to be programmed separately.

NOTE − After using one of the groups of days described above, the program allows you to subsequently change individual days to suit your needs. To get to the different groupings of days, press EDIT, then press NEXT repeatedly to scroll to the desired grouping.

Programming Complexity
The programming process for groups of days or individual days is the same, except for the amount of time required to go through the process. Full Week The least complex program is the full week MON TO SUN” program, wherein the events for every day of the week are the same. This requires one time through the event programming process. Work WeekNext in complexity to the full week program is the work week program wherein the events are set for a typical work week (MON TO FRI) and different events are set for the weekend (SAT TO SUN). This requires two times through the events. Day by day most complex because this requires going through the programming process 7 times.

Temporary Temperature Change Pause the Schedule

Two types of temperature changes may be made: temporary (while in the SCHEDule ON mode) or permanent (while in SCHEDule OFF).
NOTE − If autochangeover is enabled at the time a temperature hold is invoked, the thermostat MAY CHANGE OVER from heating to cooling and vice versa, to maintain the temperature hold setpoint. The autochangeover deadband (minimum separation between the heat and cool set points) is still used to determine whether changeover occurs This applies to all of the following hold modes.

Temporary Temperature Changes (schedule ON)
While the system is running with the schedule ON, any change to the temperature settings may be made for the default time (approximately 3 hours) or for as long or short a time as you wish. Therefore, following the procedure will set a HOLD on the schedule for a few hours or for up to 45 days. Figure 6 shows a typical screen set in the AUTOchangeover mode. If the SYSTEM were set in HEAT, COOL, or EM HEAT mode, only the top set of arrows appear.

 

1. On the home screen, press the UP or DOWN arrow to adjust to the desired temperature.
2. A set of arrows appears to the right of the information display; use these arrows to adjust the hold period for as long as desired, or, if not changed, this setting will hold for approximately 3 hours.
3. Press SAVE.
4. After saving, ON” next to the SCHED button flashes slowly, and the information display alternates between the following.
5. After the 3 hours expires, the scheduled programming will resume, OR, press SCHED to cancel the hold.

Permanent Temperature Changes (schedule OFF − non−programmable operation)

To make a change for an undefined time span, the schedule must be turned OFF. The setpoint is maintained indefinitely.

1. From the home screen, press SCHED to turn on the scheduled programming OFF.
2. Press the UP or DOWN arrow to set the temperature to the desired temperature.

The information display field continues to display the active mode, outdoor temperature, and indoor relative humidity. Turning the schedule back ON (press the SCHED box on the home screen) will cancel a permanent hold and return to the event-programmed mode.

 

 

Optional Remote Outdoor Sensor

The outdoor sensor (X2658) may be required, especially when using Humiditrol® EDA applications. In addition to measuring and displaying outdoor temperature, the outdoor sensor provides dew point adjustment and control for all models. If used with this thermostat, the sensor enables optimal heating equipment operation via programmable balance points. The screen will display NO OUTDOOR SENSOR until the outdoor sensor is installed, and the feature is turned on in the USER SETTINGS, in the DISPLAY INFO option. The outdoor temperature is displayed in the information display (lower center of the screen).

NOTE − For proper operation of Humiditrol® EDA applications, the outdoor sensor MUST be installed. In many applications, the ComfortSense® Model L7742U thermostat displays the temperature sensed by the remote outdoor sensor. With the heat pump system, the remote outdoor sensor helps determine when to turn on the second stage of heating for optimal comfort. When the outdoor sensor is connected, the temperature displays in the information display area (below the indoor temperature display).

Memory Protection
The thermostat stores all the information concerning its programming (state, mode, program information, last temperature measured) in nonvolatile memory. This function avoids the loss of the state of the thermostat when a power-down occurs. The only thing that might be lost is the clock, however, a lithium battery will remember clock information for as long as it has a charge (approximately 30 days). When a power down occurs (due to a power outage) the thermostat is able to switch off all relays. The O and B relay will maintain their last state.

Service Reminders

The user may turn on and turn off the following service reminders (all of which default to OFF) in either chronological time and/or run time and maybe reset (to default) or delayed (snooze) at any time:

• Replace Media Filter
• Routine Sys (System) Check−up
• Replace Hum (Humidifier) Pad
• Replace UV Lamp
• PureAir Maintenance

NOTE − When chronological time is selected, the timer runs based on the calendar. When time is selected in run time, the timer runs based on the time the specific output is ON (e.g. Fan output for Media Filter). When the reminder time (either calendar time or run time) has elapsed, the system displays a screen from which the user can either RESET or DELAY the reminder. The user can reset the timer either before it has expired (i.e. reminder is set to 6 months and the user decides to reset it to 6 months or change it to a different value at the end of the 4th month) or when the time has expired and a reminder message has been displayed. When a reminder is turned off, the indicator will not be activated even if the timer is expired. Note that setting the filter reminder to 0 (OFF) will not reset the timers, but will deactivate the filter indicator In the case of a power interruption: the lithium battery has charged total accumulated time is maintained (i.e. the counter does not recycle to zero). lithium battery has NO change the due date of reminders is maintained.
