Installing Item 9615 Thermostat

NOTE: FOR NEW INSTALLATIONS, MOUNT THERMOSTAT ON THE INSIDE WALL, 4-5 FEET ABOVE THE FLOOR. DO NOT INSTALL BEHIND A DOOR, IN A CORNER, NEAR AIR VENTS, IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, OR NEAR ANY HEAT OR STEAM-GENERATING FIX-TURES. INSTALLATION AT THESE PLACES WILL AFFECT THERMOSTAT OPERATION.
IMPORTANT: THIS THERMOSTAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH 100% LOCKOUT SYSTEMS. TO RESET THE SYSTEM, TURN THE THERMOSTAT TO THE OFF POSITION FOR AT LEAST 60 SECONDS.

1. Turn the power off to the heating and cooling systems.
2. Place the COOL-OFF-HEAT switch in the OFF position.
3. Place AUTO-ON switch into the AUTO position.
4. Remove the cover using a coin or screwdriver.
5. Place the thermostat against the wall at a desired location. Make sure wires will feed through an opening on the base of a thermostat.
6. Mark placement of mounting holes. See Fig. 3. Set base aside.
7. Drill the marked holes using a 3/16″ drill bit. NOTE: Enclosed plastic anchors do not require a drilled hole for drywall.
8. Tap plastic anchors into the holes.
9. Align the base with plastic anchors and feed wires through the opening. See Fig 4.
10. Secure base to wall with supplied screws.
11. Connect wires to the terminal strip. Refer to the wiring diagrams on another side of this sheet. Make sure wire connections are secure.
12.  Install two “AA” ENERGIZER brand batteries or equivalent into the battery compartment. Be sure to match the positive (+) ends of batteries with positive (+) battery terminals in the battery compartment.
13. Replace cover onto the thermostat by snapping it into place.
14. Turn on power to the system. Test the thermostat as described in the following section.

Programming Guide

Set Time of Day, Day of Week, Temperature Differential, Residual Cooling

1. Press SET & PROG/MAN. Release simultaneously.
2. Press
3. To change 1st Stage Temperature Differential
   NOTE: THE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL IS FACTORY PRESET AT 1°. THIS MEANS
   THAT WHENEVER THE ROOM TEMPERATURE CHANGES BY ONE FULL DEGREE FROM THE TEMPERATURE SETTING, THE SYSTEM WILL TURN ON. IF THE SYSTEM TURNS ON TOO OFTEN, INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL.
4. Press
5. Press To change 2nd Stage Temperature Differential
   NOTE: SECOND STAGE DIFFERENTIAL IS FACTORY PRESET AT 2°.

To change Residual Cooling
NOTE: THE RESIDUAL COOL FEATURE WILL KEEP THE SYSTEM FAN ON FOR AN ADDITIONAL 30, 60, OR 90 SECONDS AFTER THE COMPRESSOR CYCLES OFF. THE RESIDUAL COOL FEATURE CAN ONLY BE SET IN THE COOL MODE. Changing Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C)

QuickSet™ Programming Mode

 

1. Place COOL-OFF-HEAT in the COOL or HEAT position.
2. Press & Hold SET. Press the button. Release simultaneously.
3. The MORN indicator should be blinking. Program the Time-of-Day and the temperature as outlined in the Setting Daily Program section.

NOTE: QuickSet™ will program all 7 days of the week with the same program.

Setting Daily Programming

1. Place COOL-OFF-HEAT in a COOL position
2. Press the SET button. The display will show a number from 1 to 7. This number represents the day of the week to be programmed. If programming individual days, press either button to adjust the day of the week to program.
3.  Press SET. Press or to change MORN time
4. Press SET.
5. Press or to change MORN temperature.
6. Repeat Steps 2-5 for DAY, EVE, and NITE.
7. Repeat steps 2–6 above to program any other day of the week.
8. Shift COOL-OFF-HEAT to HEAT position.
9. Repeat steps 2-6 to program HEAT inter) settings

Begin Programmed Operation

1. Place AUTO/ON into AUTO.
2. Place COOL-OFF-HEAT into COOL or HEAT Depending upon the season.
3. Press the PROG/MAN button until the indicator is in the PROG position

NOTE: WHILE IN THE COOL MODE ONCE THE THERMOSTAT TURNS THE SYSTEM OFF, A BUILT-IN DELAY KEEPS THE COMPRESSOR FROM TURNING ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. THIS PROTECTS THE COMPRESSOR. NO ADDITIONAL TIME DELAY RELAY (DELAY ON BREAK) IS NECESSARY. TO OVERRIDE THE 5-MINUTE DELAY FOR INSTALLATION, PRESS RESET. THIS WILL ERASE THE DELAY AS WELL AS ALL PROGRAMMING.

Energy Efficient Recovery EER™

EER™ allows your system to operate at peak efficiency for optimal energy savings. EER™ looks up to 2 hours prior to the end of a set-back period to begin monitoring system performance and determine the most efficient time to turn on your system. During this period, the auxiliary stages of heating or cooling will be locked out. Only the most efficient stages will be utilized. At 20 minutes prior to the upcoming setpoint time, the auxiliary stages will be available to achieve temperature setpoint if required.

Temporary Program Override
To temporarily increase or decrease the temperature
Pressor

The Thermostat will automatically return to the program at the next scheduled setting change or after 4 hours.

Manual Operation

1. Press PROG/MAN until the indicator is in the MAN position.
2. Press or to adjust temperature settings.

Reset

To Reset the thermostat to factory pre-programmed conditions, press the reset button located directly to the right of the display.

 

To Test Thermostat
WARNING: DO NOT SHORT (JUMPER) ACROSS TERMINALS OF GAS VALVE OR SYSTEM CONTROL TO TEST OPERATION. THIS WILL DAMAGE THE THERMOSTAT AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
CAUTION: DO NOT SWITCH THE SYSTEM TO COOL IF THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50°F (10°C). THIS CAN DAMAGE THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.

1. Place the COOL-OFF-HEAT switch into the COOL position.
2. Press the button until the temperature setting is at least 3 degrees below the room temperature. The air conditioning system should turn on within a few seconds.
3. Put the COOL-OFF-HEAT switch into the OFF position. The air conditioning system should turn off. The fan may continue to run for a short period of time.
4. Put the COOL-OFF-HEAT switch into the HEAT position.
5. Press the button until the temperature setting is at least 3 degrees above room temperature. The heating system should turn on. The fan may not turn on immediately, depending upon the fan delay built into the furnace.
6. Put the COOL-OFF-HEAT switch into the OFF position. The heating system should turn off. Once again, the fan may have a delay.
7. Put the AUTO-ON switch to the ON position. The blower fan should turn on.
8. Put the AUTO-ON switch to the AUTO position. The blower fan should turn off.

LED Indicator

The LED indicator illuminates during a call for second-stage heating or cooling. The auxiliary stages are used to maintain comfort during extreme in weather conditions. If the LED is illuminated too frequently during periods of moderate temperature, check the differential settings (page 5). 9
