UNDERSTANDING ADDITIONAL FEATURES
• Advanced Recovery Mode: This feature minimizes the time required to achieve a comfort setting after set back
period. During normal operation, the thermostat will gradually change to the set point temperature prior to the
actual program time. Advanced Recovery Mode ensures that the room is at the desired temperature at the desired
time by intelligently initiating the temperature adjustment in advance. Note: This feature can be deactivated by
changing the ARM switch on the circuit board to off.
• High Temperature Protection: While in the HEAT position, if the room temperature reaches 93°F (34°C), the
thermostat will automatically shut off. In the unlikely event the room temperature reaches 99°F (37°C), a mechanical
bimetal switch will shut off the thermostat.
INSTRUCTIONS

17
• Low Temperature Protection: While in the HEAT position, if the room temperature drops below 40°F (4°C), the
thermostat will automatically initiate a call for heat.
• Compressor Protection: To protect the system compressor(s) from damage, the thermostat features a 5-minute
delay. After the cooling system (or heat pump turns off), the thermostat will not allow it to re-start until the 5 minute
delay expires. A blinking snowake/ame indicates this feature has been activated. Once the 5 minute delay
expires, the snowake/ame will illuminate continuously and the system will be able to re-start when called upon.
NOTE: For the purpose of unit installation, this delay can be overridden by depressing the RESET button. This will
erase any programmed settings.
• System Reset: The thermostat can be reset to factory software settings including the program. All user entered
settings will be lost. The reset will also override the 5 minute compressor protection feature. To reset the thermostat,
gently press the reset button on the front panel using a paper clip or similar small pointed object.
• Filter Change Reminder: The thermostat features a reminder for the
user to change the heating/cooling system lter(s). When the system fan
is operating, the internal thermostat timer is activated. When the timer
reaches 500 hours, the lter icon will appear in the LCD. To view the time,
depress the PROGRAM and RUN keys simultaneously. The time in hours
will be displayed. To reset the lter icon from this position, depress and
hold the PROGRAM key for 3 seconds. The counter will reset to 000 Hr.
