ADAPTIVE INTELLIGENT
RECOVERYTM CONTROL
Your new thermostat is so smart, it’s almost human.
You perceive temperature from a variety of sources,
not only from the air in the room, but also from your
surrounding walls, windows and furnishings. Humans
feel differences in temperature as slight as two
degrees Fahrenheit. Common household thermo-
meters and standard thermostats sense only air temp-
erature, which may not reflect how hot or cold the
room actually feels to you. Your new thermostat reads
both the temperature of the wall and in the air, and
responds to temperature changes as little as one
degree Fahrenheit, so room temperature is more
likely to feel right to you and your family.
The thermostat acts like a computer. When calculat-
ing the time to turn on your heating or cooling system,
it considers air temperature, wall temperature, and the
time you want to reach the comfort temperature. After
considering these three things, Adaptive Intelligent
RecoveryTM control gradually changes the tempera-
ture from the energy savings setting to the comfort
setting (for example, from a heating temperature of
62°at night to 70°in the morning).
The system runs until the comfort temperature you
choose is reached without overshooting the setting.
This saves energy. How do you know when the
system is in recovery? The thermostat displays
“Recovery” whenever the thermostat activates
Adaptive Intelligent RecoveryTM control. See Fig. 3.
So, “Recovery” displays during the recovery time from
Sleep to Wake and from Leave to Return.
Fig. 3. Example of “Recovery” indication.

Recovery

11 69-1536–3
After installation or new schedule programming, your
thermostat learns from experience. Each day it
checks how closely it hit the recovery target (for
example, 70°at 6:00 AM) and adjusts the next day’s
recovery start time accordingly. After four to eight
days, the thermostat has adjusted to local weather,
your lifestyle, the construction of your home, and your
heating and cooling system.
Optimum Comfort and Energy Savings
In Fig. 4, Adaptive Intelligent RecoveryTM control starts
to recover at 5:00 AM and reaches the comfort
temperature of 68°at 6:30 AM. Recovery time varies
with the starting temperature and the comfort temp-
erature you choose.

OPERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT
Your new thermostat saves energy and keeps you
comfortable at the same time. By now you may be
wondering how to program your thermostat and how
to use some more time and energy-saving features.
First, let’s look at features you’ll be using often, like
setting the System and Fan keys, how to override the
current programming mode or to hold the thermostat
at a specific temperature while you go on vacation.
You can even program the thermostat to return to
your regular programming schedule on your last day
of vacation so you are comfortable when you return
and yet save energy while you are away.
Setting System and Fan Keys
Use the System and Fan keys to change the system
and fan settings. The fan settings can be set for each
schedule period individually. The system selection is
for all the schedule periods.
CAUTION
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can cause permanent damage to the
compressor or other equipment.
To avoid possible compressor damage, allow
the compressor to remain off for five minutes
before restarting.
To avoid possible equipment damage, do not
operate cooling when the outside temperature
is below 50°F (10°C). See equipment manu-
facturer instructions.

14 69-1536–3
Setting the System Key
Press the System key until the desired
system (Heat, Off, Cool, or Auto) displays.
Heat: The thermostat controls the heating.
Off: Both the heating and cooling are off.
Cool: The thermostat controls the cooling.
Auto: The thermostat automatically changes
between heating and cooling operation,
depending on the indoor temperature.
Thermostat will satisfy system demand
on a first call basis. For example, if
zone 2 (any zone) is calling for heating
and then zone 1 (any zone) asks for
cool – the system will satisfy zone 2
before turning on the cool for zone 1.
System
Setting the Fan Key
Press Fan key until the desired mode
(On or Auto) displays:
On: Fan operates continuously.
Auto: Fan operates only when heating
or cooling.
displays when the thermostat is
calling for the fan in this zone.
NOTE: The thermostat may delay
turning on the fan until another zone
has completed its call for heat or cool
before initiating the fan call for this zone.

Setting Temporary Temperatures
You can override the current schedule period to temporarily change the temperature setting until the next schedule
period, or you can change and hold the temperature setting indefinitely. You can also change the temperature setting
until a designated day and period (for example, while you are on vacation).
Changing Temperature to Temporary Setting Until Next Schedule Period
Press increase ▲or decrease ▼until the desired temperature
setpoint displays.
The temporary temperature setting you select displays for
approximately three seconds. The display reads “Temporary”
until the next period begins or when you cancel the temporary
temperature setting.
While selecting a temporary setting, only the setpoint displays.
