Programming Thermostat
Initial Powerup
When the thermostat is first powered up (or
after eight hours of continuous power loss),
the display blinks for two seconds and then
undergoes a self-test — while 00E displays
for about 15 seconds.
This is followed by the display flashing
(1:00 PM); the internal checkout is
complete and the thermostat is ready to be
programmed.
To verify that the thermostat is turning on
the baseboard heater, press the (+) key
until the setpoint displayed exceeds the
room temperature.
The (°) symbol is flashing. Feel for warmth
in the area close to the heating element;
the unit should be starting to generate heat.
Press and hold the Prog key to return the
thermostat to the Run mode.
Factory Set Programming
The thermostat defaults to a normal non-
programmable thermostat at power-up,
indicated with Hold appearing in the
display. Pressing the Prog key once enters
the programming mode. The thermostat is
preset with a factory set schedule for 7
days, see Table 1.
Table 1. Preset Factory Schedule
for 7-days.
Event Time Temperature
WAKE 6:00 AM 70°F (21°C)
LEAVE 8:00 AM 61°F (16°C)
RETURN 6:00 PM 70°F (21°C)
SLEEP 10:00 PM 61°F (16°C)

69-1396—2 6
Thermostat Reset
The T4700 can be reset to its default
settings (Table 1) by inserting a bent paper
clip or similar wire into the small hole on the
front of the thermostat (next to to the (+)
key with the cover open). This resets only
the clock; the programmed schedule is
retained.
Homeowner Programming
IMPORTANT
After programming is complete, the
device reverts to normal Run mode
within five minutes, if no key was
pressed, and any new setting is
stored in its memory.
The thermostat is flexible and can be
programmed to meet your lifestyle. Four
time periods are available:
WAKE is the time the thermostat turns on
the equipment after an energy saving
period. When deciding what time to set for
your WAKE period, include extra lead time,
depending on the outside temperature and
your equipment response time, to give the
equipment time to adjust the temperature
before you get up.
LEAVE is the time you can set for an
energy-saving temperature while you are
away at work or school.
RETURN is the time the thermostat turns
on the equipment after an energy saving
period. When deciding what time to set for
your RETURN period, include extra lead
time, depending on the outside
temperature and your equipment response
time to give the equipment time to adjust
the temperature before you arrive home.
SLEEP is the time you can set for an
energy-saving temperature while you are
sleeping.
IMPORTANT
Always press the keys with you fin-
gertip or similar blunt tool. Sharp
instruments like pens and pencil
points can damage the keys.
See Tables 2 - 6 to program your
thermostat.
