Venstar T1045 Programmable Thermostat

Safety Warnings

CAUTION Follow Installation Instructions carefully.
DISCONNECT POWER TO THE HEATER – AIR CONDITIONER BEFORE REMOVING THE OLD THERMOSTAT AND INSTALLING THE NEW THERMOSTAT.

CAUTION
The two Alkaline “AA” batteries must be replaced at least once every 12 months to ensure proper operation. The Low Battery icon (fig. 1) will appear on the display when it is time to replace the batteries. If the thermostat is connected to 24v power, the batteries should still be installed, but are not required.

When battry is displayed the batteries must be replaced immediately. The manufacturer cannot be liable for improper operation of the thermostat if the batteries are not immediately replaced.
Annual battery replacement is especially critical in locations subject to freezing temperatures. The thermostat will be unable to turn on the heating system if the batteries are exhausted.

Preparation

• Proper installation of the thermostat will be accomplished by following these step-by-step instructions. If you are unsure about any of these steps, call a qualified technician for assistance.
• These tools will be required:
• Make sure your Heater/Air Conditioner is working properly before beginning the installation of the thermostat.
• Carefully unpack the thermostat. Save the screws and instructions.
• Turn off the power to the Heating/Air Conditioning system at the main fuse panel. Most residential systems have a separate breaker for disconnecting power to the furnace.

Remove & Replace Old Thermostat

• Remove the cover of the old thermostat. If it does not come off easily check for screws.
• Loosen the screws holding the thermostat base or subbase to the wall, and lift away.
• Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat. Tape the ends of the wires as you disconnect them, and mark them with the letter of the terminal for easy reconnection to the new thermostat.
• Keep the old thermostat for reference purposes, until your new thermostat is functioning properly.

Battery Replacement

1. The batteries are easily accessible from the battery slot located on the front of the thermostat (fig. 1). To open the battery slot, press down on the battery cover
   (fig. 1) and pull out (fig. 2).
2. Remove the old batteries and replace with the new AA alkaline batteries (fig. 3).
3. Place the bottom hook of the battery cover into the slot and snap closed (fig. 4).

The batteries must be replaced immediately when the thermostat displays the low battery icon (fig. 1). If the thermostat is connected to 24v power, the batteries should
still be installed. Installing the batteries when the system is powered (24VAC) will keep the clock running in the event of line power interruption.

Wire Connections

If the terminal designations on your old thermostat do not match those on the new thermostat, refer to the chart below or the wiring diagrams that follow.

Sample Wiring Diagrams

4 Wire, 1 Stage Cooling, 1 Stage Heat-Heat Pump with O reversing valve.
Residential Heat Pumps, split systems & package units, with no auxiliary heat.

* Common wire is optional in all installations. If a common wire is not used the thermostat must be powered by two AA alkaline batteries. These batteries must be replaced (page 6) each year or when the Low Battery indicator is displayed (page 3).

5 Wire, 1 Stage Cooling, 2 Stage Heat-Heat Pump with O reversing valve.
Residential Heat Pumps, split systems & package units, with auxiliary heat.

Common wire is optional in all installations. If a common wire is not used the thermostat must be powered by two AA alkaline batteries. These batteries must be replaced (page 6) each year or when the Low Battery indicator is displayed (page 3).

4 Wire, 1 Stage Cooling, 1 Stage Heat-Heat Pump with B reversing valve.
Residential Heat Pumps, split systems & package units, with no auxiliary heat.

Common wire is optional in all installations. If a common wire is not used the thermostat must be powered by two AA alkaline batteries. These batteries must be replaced (page 6) each year or when the Low Battery indicator is displayed (page 3).

Test Operation

• Turn on the power to the Heat Pump.
• On the thermostat, slide the Mode Switch to HEAT. Press the COOLER or WARMER button until the set temperature is 10 degrees above room temperature. The HVAC unit should energize in the heating mode.
  Note: You may need to wait up to five minutes for the heating to energize due to the compressor lockout feature. There is a two-minute minimum run-time for first-stage heating.
• On the thermostat, slide the Aux Heat Switch to the NORMAL position. The
• Aux Heat icon will appear indicating that the thermostat has energized Aux Heat (page 7 of the Owner’s Manual).
  TWO-STAGE OPERATION – The 2nd stage of heat (auxiliary heat) is turned on when the room temperature is equal to or less than: the setpoint minus the 1st stage deadband (one degree, adjustable), minus the 2nd stage deadband (two degrees, non-adjustable).
• On the thermostat, slide the Mode Switch to COOL. Press the COOLER or WARMER buttons until the set temperature is 10 degrees below room temperature. The HVAC unit should energize in the cooling mode (Page 6 of the Owner’s Manual).
  Note: You may need to wait up to five minutes for cooling to energize due to the compressor lockout feature.
• On the thermostat, slide the Mode Switch to OFF. Slide the Fan Switch to Fan On. The fan should turn on and run continuously.

Trouble Shooting

• SYMPTOM: The slide switches on the thermostat are very difficult to move.
• CAUSE: The backplate of the thermostat is screwed too tightly into a wall that is not perfectly flat.
