Configuration Menu

5) Select Energy Management Recovery OFF or ON - Energy Management Recovery (EMR) causes the thermo- stat to start heating or cooling early to make the building temperature reach the program setpoint at the time you specify. Heating will start 5 minutes early for every 1° of temperature required to reach setpoint. Cooling allows more time per degree because it takes longer to reach temperature.

Example: You select EMR and have your heating program- med to 65 ° at night and 70 ° at 7 AM. If the building temp- erature is 65 ° the difference between 65 ° and 70 ° is 5°. Allowing 5 minutes per degree the thermostat setpoint will change to 70 ° at 6:35 AM.

6)Fast or Slow Cycle Selection - The factory default setting is fast cycle, which cycles 1st stage at approximately 1.2°F and 2nd stage 0.75°F. If you prefer slow cycle, press the (£) or (£) key to change to SL. The 1st stage and 2nd stage would be 1.5°F and 1.2°F respectively.

7)Select Compressor Lockout CL OFF or ON - Selecting CL ON will cause the thermostat to wait 5 minutes before

turning on the compressor if the heating and cooling system loses power. It will also wait 5 minutes minimum between cooling and heating cycles. This is intended to help protect the compressor from short cycling. Some newer compres- sors already have a time delay built in and do not require this feature. Your compressor manufacturer can tell you if the lockout feature is already present in their system. When the thermostat compressor time delay occurs it will flash the setpoint for about five minutes.

8)Select Backlight Display- The display backlight improves display contrast in low lighting conditions. When the C terminal is powered, selecting backlight CdL ON will turn the light on continuously. Select backlight OFF will keep the light on momentarily after any key is pressed. When the C terminal is not powered, this selection has no effect.

9)Select (Fast) Second Stage ON or OFF- In the run mode, if the setpoint temperature is manually raised by 3°F (2°C) or more above the actual temperature with the (_, and the fast second stage feature is enabled, FA ON, the second stage will energize immediately. With FA OFF, second stage will not energize until the setpoint temperature is I°F or more above actual temperature for more than ten min- utes.

10)Select filter replacement run time - The thermostat will display FLTR after a set time of operation. This is a remind-

er to change or clean your airfilter. This time can be set from 0 to 1950 hours in 50 hour increments. A selection of 000

will cancel this feature. When "FLTR" is displayed, you can clear it by pressing HOLD and RUN at the same time. This resets the timer and starts counting the hours until the next filter change. Contact your system manufacturer for a specific replacement/maintenance interval.

11)Select Temperature Display Adjustment 4 LO to 4 HI - Allows you to adjust the room temperature display up to 4° higher or lower. Your thermostat was accurately calibrated at the factory but you have the option to change the display temperature to match your previous thermostat. The cur- rent or adjusted room temperature will be displayed on the left side of the display.

12)Select F ° or C ° Readout- Changes the display readout to Centigrade or Fahrenheit as required.

13)Selected Auto mode - This control will feature AUTO changeover mode when AU on is selected (default). Press the (E) or (£) keys in the menu mode to defeat the auto changeover mode (OFF).

14)Limited Heat Range- This feature provides a maximum setpoint temperature for heat. The default setting is 90°F. It can be changed between 62°F and 89°F by pressing the (_ or (_ key.

15)Limited Cool Range - This feature provides a minimum setpoint temperature for cool. The default setting is 45°F. It can be changed between 46°F and 82°F by pressing the (_ or (£) key.

16)Compressor Defeat on Comfort Alert error- By selecting CAL on (default), the compressor will be locked when any CA error is detected. The compressor will not be locked when CA error is detected if CAL is OFF.

17& 18) Keypad Lockout - This menu selection will display lock icon (ll) and "OFF" (default, keypad not locked out). The (_ and C) are used to toggle the selection between OFF and ON (keypad locked out). When the keypad lockout selection is enabled (ON), and the SYSTEM button is pressed again, the display wilt indicate the number "0" (default, still disabled) in the time digits. The C) and (£) are used to set the combination number from 0 to 999. If a combination of 0is selected and the SYSTEM button is pressed, the menu wilt be exited and keypad wilt not be locked. If I to 999 is selected and the SYSTEM button is

pressed, the combination is stored into memory and the

menu is exited. The (ll) wilt display designating keypad locked with a valid combination. The SYSTEM button wilt

operate for 10 seconds after the menu mode is exited to allow the user to change the mode from OFF to the desired SYSTEM mode.

While the keypad is locked out, a simultaneous press of (£) and (£) will enter the configuration menu from any mode instead of only OFF mode. When the menu is entered with the keypad lockout feature enabled, the first menu item displayed is the combination code 0. The (£) or (£) keys are used to set the combination unlock number from 0 to 999. If the unlock number matches exactly with the combination lock number stored in memory when the SYSTEM button is pressed, the keypad is unlocked and the (il) is removed. If the unlock number does not match when the SYSTEM button is pressed, the menu is exited and the keypad remains disabled.

To reset the combination code and unlock the keypad if the code is forgotten, see troubleshooting section.
