CONFIGURATION

Thermostat Modes

Thermostat Modes Description
Verdant thermostat can be used as a 7-day programmable thermostat or a simple-to-use non-programmable thermostat. Programmable thermostat mode allows pre-programming up to four (4) automatic temperature changes (events) for each day of the week. Non-programmable thermostat mode allows turning the thermostat into a simple-to-use thermostat with only basic temperature control options.

Changing the Thermostat Mode
To switch between “Programmable” and “Nonprogrammable” thermostat mode: Press and hold the Program button [ ] and the Home/Mode button [ ] for four (4) seconds until the thermostat mode changes. Energy-saving occupancy detection is available in both “Programmable” and “Nonprogrammable” thermostat mode.

Equipment Modes

Equipment Modes Description
Verdant thermostat has two (2) distinctive equipment modes for operating different kinds of heating equipment. Select the “Radiant” operation mode if you are using the thermostat to control an electric baseboard or radiant heater. Select the “Fan Forced” operation mode if you are using the thermostat to control a convertor heater with a built-in fan.

Changing the Equipment Mode
To switch between “Radiant” and “Fan Forced” equipment modes:

Maximum Temperature Setting

Maximum Temperature
You can limit the maximum temperature that can be selected using thermostat temperature control options. The maximum setpoint setting will limit the maximum setpoint that can be selected with any of the thermostat temperature control options, including Program Settings. NOTE: Changing maximum setpoint will not affect existing temperature setpoints in the Program Settings

Setting the Maximum Temperature
Press and hold the Program button [ ] and the Temperature Up button [ ] for four (4) seconds until the Maximum Temperature screen appears. Use the Temperature Up and Down buttons [ ] to select the maximum setpoint (61 – 91°F / 16 – 33°C). Press the Home/Mode button [ ] to confirm your selection and return to Home screen.

Temperature Display Units

Changing the Temperature Display Unit

To switch between °F and °C display:

• Press and hold the Program button [ ]. While holding the
• Program button [ ], press the Time Forward button [ ].

USING THE THERMOSTAT

Temperature Control Modes

Temperature Control Modes Description

• AUTO Temperature Control mode initiates a custom temperature control program.
• To set up a custom temperature control program refer to the Program Settings section.
• HOLD Temperature Control mode maintains the room temperature at a selected temperature setpoint

Changing the Temperature Control Mode

To change the temperature control mode:
Press the Home/Mode button [ ] to switch between and temperature control modes.

Temperature Setpoint

Changing the Temperature Setpoint

To change the temperature setpoint:
Use the Temperature Up and Down buttons [   ] to raise or lower the temperature setpoint Changing the setpoint in AUTO mode will only change the setpoint until the next event start. In this situation, “Temporarily Set to” screen indicator will indicate that the temperature setpoint will change when the next event starts.

Time and Day Settings

• Use the Time Forward and Time Back buttons [ and ] to set time and day. The longer you hold the Time Forward and Time Back buttons [ ] the faster the time and day setting will move.
• Press the Home/Mode button [ ] to confirm the time and day and to return to the Home Screen.

Program Settings

• If you select “No”, repeat steps 1 – 3 to modify program settings for the selected event. Repeat the described procedure to program temperature changes for the whole week

Energy-Saving Occupancy Detection
Built-in occupancy sensor enables advanced energy saving features that allow incrementally adjusting the temperature when the room is unoccupied, whether you are in AUTO or HOLD temperature control mode. You can start saving the energy only minutes after the room becomes unoccupied as well as completely eliminate unnecessary energy consumption if the room remains unoccupied for longer periods of time.

Short Vacancy Setting
Short Vacancy Setting allows reducing the temperature setpoint by a selected number of degrees, if the room is unoccupied for a selected number of minutes.

Long Vacancy Setting
Long Vacancy Setting allows reducing the temperature setpoint to a selected temperature, if the room is unoccupied for a selected number of hours

Accessing Occupancy Detection Settings
Hold the Home/Mode button [ ] for four (4) seconds to access the Energy-Saving Occupancy Detection Settings.

Energy-Saving Occupancy Detection

Short Vacancy Settings

• Use the Temperature Up and Down buttons [  ] to select a number of minutes (00-99) room needs to be unoccupied before the thermostat reduces the temperature setpoint. Selecting “00” as the number of minutes will disable Short Vacancy feature. Press the Home/Mode button [ ] to confirm your selection and advance to the next configuration screen.
• Use the Temperature Up and Down buttons [ ] to select by how many degrees (0-10°F/0-5°C) you wish to reduce the temperature. Pressthe Home/Mode button [ ] to confirm your settings and access the Long Vacancy settings.

Long Vacancy Settings

• Use the Temperature Up and Down buttons [ ] to select a number of hours (0-12) room needs to be unoccupied before the thermostat reduces the setpoint to the desired temperature. Selecting “0” as the number of hours will disable Long Vacancy feature. Press the Home/Mode button [ ] to confirm your selection and advance to the next configuration screen.
• Use the Temperature Up and Down buttons [ ] to select the desired temperature. Press the Home/Mode button [ ] to confirm your selection and return to Home Screen.

Occupancy Detection Example

• If the temperature setpoint is 72°F and the occupancy settings are the same as the examples shown on previous pages:

Short Vacancy Setting

• If unoccupied 15 minutes
• Reduce Temperature by 2;

Long Vacancy Setting

• If Unoccupied 2 Hours Reduce Temperature to 64;
• Then the following will happen……
• if the room becomes unoccupied …
• if the room remains unoccupied
• If the room is unoccupied for 2 hours, the thermostat will automatically reduce the temperature setpoint to 64°. when occupancy is detected
