should be set to the desired normal temperature. Only when the energy saver is on will the temperature be allowed to deviate from your normal thermostat setting.

There are three temperatures associated with each Model 1101 PESM:

-Temperature - this is the air temperature read by the PESM.

-LO temperature - the air tem- perature will be allowed to fall to this temperature when the energy saver is on.

-HI temperature - the air tem- perature will be allowed to rise to this temperature when the energy saver is on.

You can turn the energy saver on, off, use a timed on/off and change the LO and HI temperatures from the console or by telephone. Commands can also be programmed so that they occur by time schedule or by event, such as security mode change. For example, the system can be set up to turn the energy saver(s) on and make the LO setback temperature 65 degrees and the HI setback temperature 80 degrees when the alarm system is put in the “away” mode. Another program can turn the energy saver(s) off (to resume normal operation of the HVAC system) at 4:30 P.M. on weekdays to make the house comfortable before arriving home. Different setback temperatures could be set for the “asleep” mode.

To set up your thermostat for use with the energy saver, set it in the

appropriate mode (HEAT, COOL or AUTO, if available) and set the temperature to your preference.

Note that your heating and cool- ing system will always be off if you set your thermostat to OFF mode. The PESM cannot turn it back on.

To set up the Model 1503 for the energy saver, press SHOW, 1.

The display will show "ZONE NAME ON (or OFF) - TEMP 76 LO 65 HI 85". (SHOW, 1 displays the status of unit number 17. To go to unit number 18, press SHOW again, and so on. If you do not get this display, zone 17 is not set up as a tempera- ture type. Your dealer will ex- plain. Your temperatures may be different from these.) TEMP is the current temperature in the room where the PESM is located.

To turn the PESM on, off or timed on/ off, press ON, OFF or TIME.

To change the LO temperature to 65 degrees, press *, 6, 5, ENTER.

To change the HI temperature to 85 degrees, press #, 8, 5, ENTER.

With the energy saver ON, and TEMP between LO and HI (75, for example) your HVAC system should stop operating.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a 3 minute minimum on and off time for PESMs designed to prevent short cycling your HVAC compressor. If the PESM has just turned the HVAC system on or off, it will wait 3 minutes before changing it, even though the display does change.
