Important Safety Information Warning:
•Always turn off power at the main power source by unscrewing
fuse or switching circuit breaker to the off position before installing,
removing, cleaning or servicing thermostat.
•Read all of the information in this manual before installing or
programming this thermostat.
•This is a 24V AC low-voltage thermostat. Do not install on voltages
higher than 30V AC.
•All wiring must conform to local and national building and electrical
codes and ordinances.
•Do not short (jumper) across terminals on the gas valve or at the
system control to test installation. This will damage the thermostat
and void the warranty.

Energy Efficient Recovery EER™
EER™ allows your system to operate at peak efficiency for optimal energy
savings. EER™ looks up to 2 hours prior to the end of a set-back period to
begin monitoring system performance and determine the most efficient
time to turn on your system. During this period, the auxiliary stages of
heating or cooling will be locked out. Only the most efficient stages will be
utilized. At 20 minutes prior to the upcoming setpoint time, the auxiliary
stages will be available to achieve temperature setpoint if required.
Temporary Program Override
To temporarily increase or decrease temperature
Press or
The Thermostat will automatically return
to the program at the next scheduled
setting change or after 4 hours.

To Test Thermostat
WARNING: DO NOT SHORT (JUMPER) ACROSS TERMINALS OF GAS VALVE OR SYSTEM CONTROL
TO TEST OPERATION. THIS WILL DAMAGE THE THERMOSTAT AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
CAUTION: DO NOT SWITCH SYSTEM TO COOL IF THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50°F (10°C). THIS CAN DAMAGE
THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Place the COOL-OFF-HEAT
switch into the COOL position.
2. Press the button until the temperature
setting is at least 3 degrees below the room temperature. The air
conditioning system should turn on within a few seconds.
NOTE: W HILE IN THE C OOL MODE ONCE THE THERMOSTAT TURNS THE SYSTEM OFF , A BUILT - IN DELAY KEEPS THE COMPRESSOR
FROM TURNING ON FOR ABOUT
5 MINUTES . T HIS PROTECTS THE COMPRESSOR . N O ADDITIONAL TIME DELAY RELAY ( DELAY ON BREAK )
IS NECESSARY . T O OVERRIDE THE 5- MINUTE DELAY FOR INSTALLATION , PRESS RESET. T HIS WILL ERASE THE DELAY AS WELL AS ALL
PROGRAMMING
.
3. Put the COOL-OFF-HEAT switch into
the OFF position. The air conditioning
system should turn off. The fan may
continue to run for a short period of time.
4. Put the COOL-OFF-HEAT switch
into the HEAT position.
5. Press the button until the temperature setting is at least
3 degrees above room temperature. The heating system should turn
on. The fan may not turn on immediately, depending upon the fan
delay built into the furnace.
6. Put the COOL-OFF-HEAT switch
into the OFF position. The heating
system should turn off. Once again,
the fan may have a delay.
7. Put the AUTO-ON switch
to the ON position. The blower
fan should turn on.
8. Put the AUTO-ON switch
to the AUTO position. The blower
fan should turn off.
LED Indicator
The LED indicator illuminates during a call for second stage heating or
cooling. The auxiliary stages are used to maintain comfort during
extremes in weather conditions. If the LED is illuminated too frequently
during periods of moderate temperature, check the differential settings
