CONFIGURATION MENU

The configuration menu allows you to set certain thermostat operating characteristics to your system or personal require- ments.

Press RUN to make sure the thermostat is in the run program mode, then press PRGM and RUN at the same time to enter the configuration menu. The display will show the first item in the configuration menu.

The configuration menu table summarizes the configuration options. An explanation of each option follows.

Press HOLD to change to the next menu item or press TIME to go backwards to the previous item in the menu. To exit the menu and return to the program operation, press RUN. If no keys are pressed within fifteen minutes, the thermostat will revert to normal operation.

1)Select Temporary Hold Time - The thermostat can hold any temperature you set it to for the amount of time you select on this option. Your choices are 0:00 to 8:00 hours in 15 minute increments. 0:00 disables the function

Example:

1.You have selected 3:00 hours for the Temporary Hold time period.

2.With the thermostat set to Heat or Cool, press HOLD for approximately five seconds until HOLD time (3:00 indicating 3 hours) appears as a setting reminder.

3.After releasing the button, “HOLD” on the display will blink.

4.Use or to set the temperature to your prefer- ence. The thermostat will maintain this temperature setting for 3 hours with “HOLD” blinking to remind you it is in Temporary Hold. After 3 hours the thermostat will go back to the program temperature and “HOLD” will no longer blink or display.

2)Select FA or SL (Fast or Slow) Heating Cycle Rate - The FA setting is frequently used for gas, oil or electric heat. The SL setting produces a longer heating cycle which is nor- mally for hot water or steam (hydronic) systems. Both settings produce very accurate temperature control and can be set to your personal preference. FA cycles the system just under 1°F and the SL setting cycles at approxi- mately 1.5°F.

3)Select backlit display - The display backlight improves display contrast in low lighting conditions. Selecting back- light ON will keep the light on for a short period of time after any key is pressed. Selecting OFF will keep the light off.
