REAL TIME PRICING SYSTEM
Your thermostat may be configured to adjust its temperature settings in response to changes in the cost of energy. Using this feature, you can take advantage of your energy provider's rate structure without sacrificing your comfort.
The thermostat can make adjustments for 4 energy rates: LO, MID, HI and CRIT (critical). At LO energy rates, the thermostat controls your system as it normally would, with no variation for energy rates. For each of the higher rates, MID, HI and CRIT, you can easily set the number of degrees of variation by changing the VAR (variation) settings for the rate.
The rate currently in effect is provided to the thermostat by the energy provider's meter or other device. The thermostat will raise the cool setting or lower the heat setting by the amount that you select for the higher rates. The thermostat display will show which rate is in use by periodically flashing RATE - LO, MID, HI or CRIT in the time display.

The thermostat remembers your original settings, and will show them if you press the up or down arrows to see the desired settings. The thermostat will control using the original setting and the variation for the rate in use. For example, if your heat setting is 68 degrees, the rate is hi, and the variance for hi is set to 3, the thermostat will control to 65 degrees.
Real time pricing variations can be used with or without the
programming feature of the thermostat.
