(UtilityPro Model)
Setting Current Time and Day
The clock should never require adjustment since it automatically updates for daylight savings time
and stores all date/time information. Should the time and date need to be reset after a power
failure, this is an indication that the battery needs to be replaced.
To manually set the current time display:
Press CLOCK, then press ▲or▼ to adjust the time. (Press and hold ▲or▼ to advance the
time more quickly.)
Press DONE to save & exit (or press CANCEL to exit without changing the time).
Programming or Changing Heating & Cooling Settings
There are five (5) system modes. Press the SYSTEM button to select one of the following, then press
DONE. Pressing the SYSTEM button successively will toggle the thermostat from one mode to
another.
HEAT: Thermostat controls only the heating system.
COOL: Thermostat controls only the cooling system.
OFF: Heating and cooling systems are off.
AUTO: Thermostat automatically selects heating or cooling depending on the indoor temperature.
EM HEAT (only for heat pumps with auxiliary heat): Thermostat controls Emergency and Auxiliary
Heat.
It’s easy to program your system for maximum energy savings. You can program four (4) time
periods each day with different settings for weekdays and weekends. Times can be programmed in
15-minute increments.
1. Press SCHED, then EDIT.
2. Press day buttons to select day(s). There are three groups (MON-FRI), (SAT), and (SUN).
3. Press ▲or▼ to set Wake time for selected day(s).
4. Press ▲or▼ to set Heat and Cool temperatures for this time period.
5. Press other time periods (LEAVE, RETURN, SLEEP) to set time and temperatures for each.
6. Press DONE to save and exit (or press CANCEL to exit without saving changes).
Note: Press FAN to customize fan settings for any time period. These become your AUTO fan settings.
Note: You can press CANCEL or PERIOD to eliminate any unwanted time period.

Change the Fan Control:
Press FAN to select fan operation, then press DONE.
ON: Fan is always on.
AUTO: Fan runs only when the heating or cooling system is on.
CIRC: Fan runs randomly, about 35% of the time, not counting any run time with the
heating or cooling system.
You can press FAN to override the fan settings you’ve programmed for different time periods. If you
select ON or CIRC, the setting you select remains active until you press FAN again to select AUTO.
Note: If a fan schedule is programmed, “AUTO” runs the fan schedule.
Temporary Setting Changes:
Press ▲or▼ to immediately adjust the temperature. This temporarily overrides the temperature
setting for the current time period.
The new temperature is maintained only until the next programmed time period begins. For
example, if you want to turn up the heat early in the morning, it will automatically be lowered later,
when you leave for the day. To cancel the temporary setting at any time, press CANCEL (or SCHED).
The program schedule resumes.
Permanent Setting Changes
Press ▲or▼ to immediately adjust the temperature. This temporarily overrides the
temperature setting for the current time period and when followed by pressing HOLD,
permanently adjusts the temperature.
Pressing HOLD turns off the program schedule but the program settings are retained and
can be resumed by pressing CANCEL (or SCHED) to cancel “Hold” and reactivate the
program schedule.
View Messages
Press VIEW on your screen. The message envelope icon blinks whenever you get a new
message and if there are no messages, the message icon does not appear.

Clean the Screen
Press SCREEN to go to the cleaning screen.
Press OK to lock the screen for cleaning. (The screen remains locked for 30 seconds so you
can clean the screen without changing any settings.)
After 30 seconds, press CANCEL to resume normal operation, or press
OK if you require more time for cleaning.

Note: Do not spray any liquid directly on the thermostat. Spray liquids onto a cloth, then use the damp
cloth to clean the screen. Use water or household glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleansers.
On-Line Thermostat Control Access
Through the peaksaver® program you have the ability to program your thermostat online. Visit
the peaksaver section on the Veridian Connections website and click the Thermostat On-Line
Access button. You will need a user name and password to log on. Your User name will be the
serial number of your thermostat and your default password will be your last name (in lower case).
The serial number can be found on a sticker located on the bottom edge of the thermostat or on the
work order the technician left at the time of installation. You can personalize your user name and
password after your initial login.
Change Thermostat Settings On-Line
Through the peaksaver Control Centre, it’s easy!
On the left side, under thermostat, click on your serial number to see the drop-down menu.
If you have more than one thermostat installed, all of the serial numbers will be listed. Each
one can be programmed individually.
Click on Schedule in the drop-down menu.
Click on Weekday or Saturday or Sunday Schedules.
Choose Heating or Cooling button.
Then, simply adjust the slider bars to set the time and temperature.
When complete, click on the Submit button at the bottom of the page and you will see your
thermostat accept the changes.
Note: The Web interface is a one-way communications feature and does not display current
settings or temperatures at the thermostat, only the settings last used through the interface.
