Operating the Thermostat

Do not set the thermostat to OFF mode during periods when freezing temperatures could occur.

Setting temperatures

Press the Up or Down adjust button. The setting to be changed will begin to flash. Press and hold the button to change the setting.

If operating in the HEAT mode, the only temperature set point available to change is the Heat setting. When the room temperature drops below this setting the heat will come on (call for heating) to raise the temperature. EM. HEAT mode uses the HEAT setting.

If operating in the COOL mode, the only temperature set point available to change is the COOL setting. When the room temperature rises above this setting the Cooling will come on (call for cooling) to lower the temperature.

If operating in AUTO (HEAT or COOL) mode, the first press of the Up or Down adjust button will indicate which of the two temperature settings will be adjusted – it will be the one flashing.

If this is not the desired temperature to adjust, press the Mode button to access the other temperature setting.

Fan operation

The thermostat can operate the fan either continually (FAN ON), or only during Heating and Cooling calls. Press the Fan button to toggle between these two options. FAN ON is recommended for media/electronic air cleaners, ventilating equipment, and to allow for humidification in mild climates.

Backlight operation

Operation of the backlight is configured in the Thermostat Set-Up. Depending on the set-up, the backlight will light at the press of any button, or it can be disabled (see theBacklighting Set-Upsection on page 42). The backlight will stay on for 10 seconds after the last press of a button.

Network override

If the Network Override has not been disabled in the Thermostat Set-Up, the Network Override can be initiated by pressing the Enter button. When initiated, the thermostat is taken offline from the automation system. The thermostat can then only be operated at the thermostat. Pressing the Enter button again will restore network communication.

Clearing a temporary flashing message

Custom Home Automation systems have the ability to send a temporary message to the message display. This message will flash until the user acknowledges the message. To acknowledge message press the Enter button.

In Case Of Power Failure

This thermostat does not require a battery. If the power goes out, the screen is blank. During the period the power is off, the heating/cooling system will not operate. When power is restored, the thermostat will return to the previous settings. The thermostat is equipped with a continuous memory feature which does not require a battery.

Cleaning the Thermostat

If the surface of the thermostat becomes dirty it can be cleaned with plain water or with a non-abrasive household cleaner, including glass cleaner. When using any cleaner be careful not to get any into the interior of the thermostat. Do not spray any liquid directly onto the thermostat. Spray the cleaner onto a soft cloth and wipe the surface of the thermostat.
