TOOLS YOU MAY NEED

MOUNTING LOCATION

On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in place of the old one unless the conditions listed below suggest otherwise. On new installations, please follow these general guidelines:

  1. Mount the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor.
  2. Do not locate the thermostat where air circulation is poor such as in a corner, alcove, or behind a door that is normally left open.
  3. Do not locate the thermostat where unusual heating or cooling conditions may be present, such as: direct sunlight, above a lamp, television, or radiator, or on a wall next to an exterior door or window.
  4. Do not locate in a damp environment, as this can lead to corrosion that may shorten thermostat life.
  5. If painting or construction work is still ongoing, cover the thermostat completely or wait until this work is complete before installation.
    WARNING:
    All wiring must conform to the local codes and ordinances that are in your particular location.

REMOVE OLD THERMOSTAT

Luxpro-P721UTa-Smart-Thermostat-FIG.2

  1. Turn OFF the electricity to all heating and cooling components. Do not turn the electricity back on until all work is completed.
  2. Remove the front portion of your old thermostat to expose the wiring connections.
  3. Write down the letters printed near each wire terminal that is used, and also the color of each wire that is connected to it. Self-adhesive wire labels are also enclosed.
  4. Carefully remove the wires one at a time, and bend them in a manner so that they do not fall back inside the wall. Do not allow bare wire ends to touch each other.
  5. Loosen the mounting screws for the old thermostat and carefully remove it from the wall.

INSTALL THERMOSTAT BASE

Luxpro-P721UTa-Smart-Thermostat-FIG.3

  1. Strip wire insulation leaving only 3/8 in. (9.5mm) bare wire ends, and clean off any corrosion present.
  2. Fill the wall opening with non-combustible insulation to prevent drafts from affecting the thermostat’s normal operation.
  3. Separate new thermostat housing using your thumb and index finger. Provide pressure in opposite directions to the release tabs on the top of the housing, in the directions shown in the diagram shown above.
  4. Route the wires through the opening in the new thermostat base plate, and hold the base against the wall. Try to line up the screw holes from the prior thermostat, and install the mounting screws.
  5. If the previous holes cannot be used, hold the thermostat base against the wall so that it appears straight and level (position the base for best appearance) and mark for the new screw holes. Attach the base to the wall using the screws provided (use the supplied plastic anchors if needed when mounting to a soft material such as drywall).

WIRING INFORMATION

CONNECTING THE WIRES:
When attaching the wires to the thermostat, please ensure that the bare wire ends are held ALL the way into the terminal block while the screw is being tightened.
WIRING BASE PLATE NOTICE:
This thermostat model is part of a family of similar models that have the same general visual appearance. Even though this base plate may look the same as base plates from other models, the wiring connections may have different terminal letters for different purposes. Please do not interchange the back plates and/or thermostat front halves of other similar-looking models. Doing so may cause undesired heating and/or cooling operations to occur.

WIRING DIAGRAM NOTES:
(Important, please read all notes before connecting wires)

HARDWARE SETUP OPTIONS

On the thermostat’s circuit board, there is a row of DIP switches, labeled #1 through #7. The position of these switches will change how the thermostat operates, and also how information is conveyed to you on the LCD display screen. If you make any changes to these options, the changes are not recognized unless you either: change the position of the HEAT/OFF/COOL mode switch, or press the“HW RST” (Hardware Reset) button on the circuit board. The use of this button is further described in the “ADVANCED FEATURES” section of this manual.
These option switches are very small and should be moved carefully using objects such as an eyeglass screwdriver, fine-point pen, toothpick, or similar. The listing below describes the available choices for each option switch:

Luxpro-P721UTa-Smart-Thermostat-FIG.12

  1. SWITCH #1 (SYSTEM): [OFF/RIGHT = FURN, default] This setting is used for the majority of all heating systems that are not heat pumps. Examples of this setting would be natural gas furnace, hot water baseboard heat, and oil heat. [ON/LEFT = HP] Use this setting if you have a heat pump unit (which looks just like an outside air conditioning unit, but is used for both cooling and heating).
  2. SWITCH #2 (TYPE): [OFF/RIGHT = PROG, default] The thermostat controls the room temperature by following temperature program periods that you set up based on your daily routine. [ON/LEFT = MAN] The thermostat operates manually just like a mechanical or non-programmable model. This method of operation is very basic and only shows the room temperature and set temperature; there are no temperature programs, days of the week, or clock times.
  3. SWITCH #3 (PERIODS): [OFF/RIGHT = 4, default] The thermostat uses four temperature program periods in both heating and cooling (MORN, DAY, EVE, and NITE). Each period has a separate start time and a set temperature. [ON/LEFT =2] The thermostat operates in the same manner as above, however, there are only two temperature program periods for heating and cooling (DAY and NITE). This may be more convenient if you are typically home during the day, and only need the set temperature to be different while you are sleeping.
  4. SWITCH #4 (SCALE): [OFF/RIGHT = F, default] All temperature values are displayed using the Fahrenheit scale. [ON/LEFT = C] This setting displays all temperature values using the Celsius scale.
  5. SWITCH #5 (TIME): [OFF/RIGHT = 12 HR, default] This setting displays the clock times and temperature program period start time values on the screen using US standard AM and PM values. [ON/LEFT = 24 HR] This setting displays the clock and temperature program period start time values on the screen using the 24 HR military-time format (17:30 hours, 22:00 hours, without using AM/PM).
  6. SWITCH #6 (DELAY): [OFF/RIGHT = 5 MIN, default] This sets the minimum length of time that Heat or Cool must remain either On or Off before it will automatically switch to the alternate On or Off state. This internal delay prevents rapid cycling of your system and provides equipment protection, particularly for cooling units. The 5-minute setting is fine for most applications. [ON/LEFT = 2 MIN] If you feel that your system may need to cycle more frequently than the thermostat is allowing, then you may use the 2-minute setting.
  7. SWITCH #7 (RECOVERY): [OFF/RIGHT = DISABLE, default] The Early Recovery feature affects how the thermostat transitions from an energy-saving setback (DAY and NITE) program period to a comfort (MORN and EVE) program period temperature when it is following the daily temperature programs. When this is disabled, the thermostat makes a set temperature change at the beginning of an upcoming period’s start time. [ON/LEFT = ENABLE] The Early Recovery feature will calculate the capability of your system and turn on the heating or cooling early so that the temperature in your home reaches the desired set point as close as possible to the start of the period. During the time that the thermostat is performing a recovery, the words “IN RECOVERY” will be shown, alternating at the top of the display with the current system mode.

GAS / ELEC SLIDE SWITCH (FAN OPERATION)

This switch is a physical component by itself on the circuit board and is much larger than the DIP switches listed above.

COMPLETE THE INSTALL

Once the hardware options are set, install two new Energizer® or DURACELL® “AA” size alkaline batteries. Ensure that the batteries are installed in the proper direction as per the markings shown in the battery tray. If the batteries were already installed before changing the hardware setup options, change the position of the HEAT/OFF/COOL System Mode switch to accept the new hardware option switch settings.

FRONT PANEL ITEMS

These two items below are both located on the right side of the thermostat housing.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TOUCHSCREEN MENU CONTENTS:

SET DAY AND TIME: Press the MENU button. The first menu item shown is “SET DAY/TIME”, press the OK button. With the day flashing, press UP or DOWN to set the day of the week. Press NEXT and the clock time will start flashing. Use UP or DOWN to set the time, making sure the AM/PM indication is correct. Holding the UP or DOWN buttons will make the clock digits scroll rapidly. Press the EXIT button to return to the Normal Run screen.
HEATING AND COOLING: Basic operation of your heating or cooling system can be obtained by choosing either HEAT or COOL on the System Mode switch. Touch the Set Temperature digits on the screen and they will begin to flash. While they are flashing, the UP and DOWN buttons will be shown also, which you can use to adjust the current Set Temperature. When the thermostat is first powered up, it will follow a default temperature routine that is preset from the factory (shown below), until the clock as been set.

PERIOD HEAT MODE COOL MODE
MORN 6:00 AM 70 °F (21 °C) 6:00 AM 78 °F (26 °C)
DAY 8:00 AM 62 °F (17 °C) 8:00 AM 82 °F (28 °C)
EVE 6:00 PM 70 °F (21 °C) 6:00 PM 78 °F (26 °C)
NITE 10:00 PM 62 °F (17 °C) 10:00 PM 75 °F (24 °C)

There are on-screen indicators to show you when the thermostat is calling for heating or cooling to occur. In the Heat mode switch position, a flame will be present on the screen. A steady flame means that the thermostat is not calling for your heating system to run, while a flashing flame means that your heating system should be currently running. In the Cool mode switch position, a snowflake will be present on the screen. A steady snowflake means that the thermostat is not calling for your cooling system to run, while a flashing snowflake means that your cooling system should be currently running.

EMERGENCY HEAT: (Heat Pump Configuration Only).
While in normal Heat mode, one single press of the EMER button will activate Emergency Heat mode. While in Emergency Heat, the top of the screen will change from “Heat Mode” to show “Emer Heat”, and an additional bold frame will appear around the EMER button. A single press of the EMER button again will end Emergency Heat, and return back to normal Heatmode. If a power loss occurs while in Emergency Heat mode, the thermostat will continue to remain in Emergency Heat mode even after the power comes back on.

Luxpro-P721UTa-Smart-Thermostat-FIG.14
Emergency Heat mode will prevent the first stage of your heat pump system from turning on, and use only the “W2” heat terminal (Auxiliary Heat) as the primary heating source. This will not only prevent the heat pump from wasting energy if outdoor temperatures are too low to support efficient operation, but it could also prevent damage to the heat pump if outside temperatures are below the manufacturer’s recommendations. As every heat pump has different operating characteristics, you should refer to your heat pump literature to determine when to disable the heat pump and run in Emergency Heat mode.

TEMPERATURE PROGRAMS

By default, this thermostat has 4 separate program periods for both Heat and Cool mode, they are: MORN, DAY, EVE, and NITE. Each period ends at the start time of the following period. The heat programs are set in HEAT mode, and the cool programs are set in COOL mode.
NOTE: If the thermostat is configured to use only 2 periods per day instead of 4 (HARDWARE SETUP OPTIONS), the thermostat will only use the DAY and NITE periods. The MORN and EVE periods will not be visible on the screen. The following examples are shown using Heat mode. Programming in Cool mode is done in the same exact manner with the System Mode switch in the Cool position.
SET TEMPERATURE PROGRAMS: Press the MENU button, then press the SCROLL button until “SET/REVIEW HEAT PROGRAMS” is shown, then press the OK button to enter the programming screen. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the start time for the MORN period, then press the NEXT button to advance. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the set temperature for the MORN period, then press the NEXT button to advance. Now adjust the start time and set temperature for the DAY period, pressing the NEXT button after each to advance. Continue with these same steps to adjust the start times and set temperatures for the EVE and NITE program periods.
When the NITE period is finished the thermostat will advance to Tuesday, with the MORN period start time flashing. Perform the same steps that you used for setting the Monday periods, pressing the NEXT button to advance through each flashing value.
PROGRAM COPY FEATURE: The Copy feature allows you to copy all of the program information from any one single day, to any other day of the week. To copy heat programs, the thermostat must be in Heat mode, and to copy cool programs, the thermostat must be in Cool mode. Emergency Heat (heat pump configurations only) uses the Heat temperature program. While in a temperature programming screen, press the “COPY” button one time. The words “COPY PROGRAM” will flash briefly at the top of the screen, followed by “FROM” and “TO”. Under the word “FROM” will be a flashing day of the week. Using the UP and DOWN buttons, select the day that you want to copy from. Press the NEXT button one time. Your copy from day should now be on steady with the day under the word “TO” flashing. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the day that you would like to copy to. A single short press of the COPY button will perform the copy, and the day flashing under the word “TO” will have advanced to the next following day. You may continue to perform short single presses of the COPY button to keep copying from the original source day to the remaining days, one after the other. Specific days may be skipped by pressing the UP button, to advance past them while they are flashing under the word “TO”. Press the EXIT button to return to the Normal Run screen.

ADVANCED FEATURES

TEMPERATURE SWING SETTING, OFFSET SETTING, AND TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION:
NOTE: The Swing setting, Offset setting, and Calibration settings need to be performed in a timely manner, as the thermostat will timeout and automatically exit these adjustment screens after approximately 10 seconds without a button press.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

This thermostat is powered by two “AA” Alkaline batteries. The batteries should be replaced AT LEAST once per year to ensure reliable operation (or sooner, if the “LO-BATTERY” icon appears at the bottom of the display screen). The batteries are located on the back of the thermostat, at the top of the circuit board. The front portion of the thermostat can be removed from the back half by pulling straight outwards on the top and bottom of the thermostat housing, at the large indentations that are present in the center of the top and bottom edges. When installing new batteries, we recommend using only brand new Energizer® or DURACELL®, “AA” size alkaline batteries. Please observe the polarity markings shown in the battery compartment to ensure proper installation. When finished, line up the front of the thermostat to the base, and firmly press together to securely latch the front and back halves together properly.
