Thermostat 24 VAC Requirement
The thermostat must have 24 VAC supplied for the receiver
to operate. When the system wiring is connected, if a system
common wire is connected to terminal C, the system is
providing 24 VAC to the thermostat. The RC/PS switch (see
Fig 1) must be in the RC position.
If the thermostat does not have a common wire connected to
terminal C, the thermostat can use Power Stealing to get the
required 24 VAC. The RC/PS switch must be in the PS
position.
INSTALLATION
Do not remove battery tag to power the sensor with batteries
untilinstructedto do so. Thethermostatrequires24volt system
powertooperatecorrectly.Ifthethermostatgoesblank,system
power is not reliable and will be corrected in the System Power
section below.
1. Remove the packing material from the thermostat and
sensor.
2. Pull the front cover of the thermostat straight off the base.
Forcing or prying will cause damage to the control.
3. Using the thermostat base as a template, place on the
selected wall locations and mark the location of all
mounting holes (Figure 1), and the hole for the thermostat
antenna wire illustrated in Figure 2.
4. Move base out of the way and drill the holes. If mounting
holes drilled are too large and do not allow you to tighten
base snugly, use the plastic screw anchors (provided) for
secure mounting.
5. Make sure the remote communication receiver is
plugged in properly to the thermostat and that the
antenna wire is routed through the thermostat subbase
as shown in Figure 2.
6. Insert antenna wire into the wall and position base into
mounting position.
7. Fasten base loosely to wall, using two mounting screws.
Place a level against bottom of base (leveling is for
appearance only and will not affect sensor operation)
and then tighten screws.
8. In the thermostat location, push excess wire into wall and
plug hole with a fire resistant material (such as fiberglass
insulation) to prevent drafts from affecting the thermostat
operation.
MountingThermostatandSensor
CAUTION
!
Topreventelectricalshockand/orequipmentdamage,
disconnect electric power to system at main fuse or
circuitbreakerbox untilpoweris required.
Before disconnecting wires from the old thermostat, mark
wires for terminal identification so the proper wiring connec-
tions will be made to the new thermostat.
Remove Old Thermostat
Locate the thermostat/sensor about 5 ft. above floor level on
an interior wall in an area that represents the average room
temperature.
Do not mount directly on or near HVAC equipment or other
sources of electrical noise.
Avoid locations close to windows or near adjoining outside
walls, doors leading outside, areas close to air registers or
their direct air flow or areas with poor circulation like alcoves.
Avoid locating the sensor on a concrete wall, junction box or
metal plate. Make sure there are no electrical wires, metal,
pipes or duct work in the part of the wall chosen for the
sensor location.
For proper RF wireless communication, the antenna wire
MUST be installed into the wall. If the antenna wire is
hanging between the wall and the thermostat the RF
communication may not be reliable
Antenna wire must be installed into the wall, it can not be
between the thermostat and wall.
Thermostat and indoor sensor are not approved for
installationinunconditionedspace.

INSTALLATION
9. Connect wires to thermostat terminals as required. Refer
to wiring diagrams Fig. 4 thru 7 for proper wiring.
10.Apply system power and confirm that thermostat display
is on and SYSTEM mode is OFF. Press SYSTEM button
to OFF if necessary.
11.Enter the configuration as described in Thermostat
Configuration Menu on page 10. Configure the thermo-
stat for system operation. While in the configuration
menu, enable the indoor remote wireless sensor (item 4)
by changing OFF to ON.
ConfirmingCommunicationofRemote
SensortoThermostat
Before finding a good location to mount the remote sensor,
confirm that the thermostat is receiving the remote sensor
signals consistently and at the best strength possible.
Reliable Communication: While the sensor is in the Learn
Mode,tobesurethethermostat andsensorhavegoodcommu-
nication.Thethermostatreceivingiconandthesensortransmit-
ting icon will appear and turn off at about the same time. The
thermostat will display SIGNAL and the strength of the signal.
3 bars indicates a strong signal and the most desirable, 2 bars
indicates a medium strength signal and 1 bar indicates a weak
signal which is acceptable if it can not be improved. The
thermostatdisplaywillalsoshowthetemperaturesensedbythe
remote.Thethermostatshouldreceive6signalsin1minuteand
the signal strength should be 3 bars if possible.
1. Remove the battery tag from only the remote sensor. The
batterytagmuststillbeinthethermostat.Theremotesensor
will begin transmitting a signal once every 10 seconds for
one hour.
2. Place the remote sensor on the thermostat and check that
the thermostat is receiving signals from the sensor. Confirm
thatthesensorandthermostathavereliablecommunication
as described above in Reliable Communication.
3. Move the remote sensor to the room where it is to be
installed. Do not mark a mounting location or drill holes yet.
4. Have someone hold the remote sensor at the location
selected for the remote sensor. Hold the remote sensor on
the left side to avoid interference with the transmitting
antenna on the right side of the sensor.
6. Return to the sensor and confirm that reliable communica-
tion with the sensor can be established again as described
in Reliable Communication. Have the sensor moved, if
necessary to improve the signal strength if it is not a consis-
tent signal with signal strength of 3 bars.
7. Once the ideal position for the sensor is determined, mark
mountingholes using thesensorbaseas a template(Figure
3). The batteries will have to be removed to access a
mounting under them.
8. Afterthesensorisfirmlyattachedtothewallandthebatteries
are reinstalled, the remote sensor will begin transmitting
againforonehour.Returntothethermostatandonceagain
confirm that communication is still good as described in
ReliableCommunication.
BatteryLocation
The sensor requires 2 "AAA" alkaline batteries. Batteries are
included at the factory with a battery tag to prevent power
drainage. The battery tag must be removed to engage the
batteries. For best results, replace batteries once a year with
new premium brand alkaline batteries such as Duracell®or
Energizer®.
Electric/GasSwitch(FanOption)
The ELEC/GAS switch on the thermostat (Fig. 1) is factory
set to the ELEC position. In this position, the thermostat will
power the circulator fan on a call for heat. Electric heat
systems may require the switch to be in the ELEC position.
If your system does not require that the thermostat power the
circulator fan, this switch should be set to the GAS position.
Typically, gas and oil heating systems do not require the
thermostat to power the circulator fan during a call for heat. If
your heat is gas or oil, the switch should be set to the GAS
position.
When the thermostat is configured for Heat Pump, the
thermostat will always power the circulator fan on a call for
heat in the HEAT mode. The ELEC/GAS switch must be set
to match the type of Auxiliary heat your system uses for
proper operation in the EMERgency mode.
Typical wiring diagrams are provided below for the following systems:
Single Stage Heat/Cool systems
Multi-Stage Heat/Cool systems (No Heat Pump)
Heat Pump system, one compressor or one speed compressor with Aux. Heat
Heat Pump systems, two compressors or two speed compressor with Aux. Heat
Refer to the equipment manufacturers instructions for specific wiring information. After completing the connections configure
the thermostat in the Installer Configuration Menu to match your system type.

different channel is selected on the thermostat it must also
be changed to the same setting on the remote. This is
only used in areas where there are other wireless
devices or electronic equipment that interfere with the
default frequency of the thermostat/remote sensor
communication.
7) Programmable Periods – This control can be config-
ured for 4, 2 or 0 programmable periods. The display
indicates "PRG 4" in the display as default. The program-
mable periods can be changed to 2 or 0 by pressing the
or keys. With "PRG 0" selected for non-program-
mable, SYSTEM key selection will skip EMR (item 8) and
temporary program override (item 15).
8) Select Energy Management Recovery OFF or ON –
Energy Management Recovery (EMR) causes the
thermostat to start heating or cooling early to make the
building temperature reach the program setpoint at the
time you specify. Heating will start 5 minutes early for
every 1° of temperature required to reach setpoint.
Example: You select EMR and have your heating
programmed to 65° at night and 70° at 7 AM. If the
building temperature is 65° the difference between 65°
and 70° is 5°. Allowing 5 minutes per degree the thermo-
stat setpoint will change to 70° at 6:35 AM. Cooling allows
more time per degree because it takes longer to reach
temperature.
9) Fast or Slow Cycle Selection – The factory default
setting is fast cycle, which cycles 1st stage at approxi-
mately 1.2°F and 2nd stage 0.75°F. If you prefer slow
cycle, press the temperature key to change to SL. The 1st
stage and 2nd stage would be 1.5°F and 1.2°F respec-
tively.
10)Select Compressor Lockout CL OFF or ON – Selecting
CL ON will cause the thermostat to wait 5 minutes before
turning on the compressor if the heating and cooling
system loses power. It will also wait 5 minutes minimum
between cooling and heating cycles. This is intended to
help protect the compressor from short cycling. Some
newer compressors already have a time delay built in and
do not require this feature. Your compressor manufac-
turer can tell you if the lockout feature is already present
in their system. When the thermostat compressor time
delay occurs it will flash the setpoint for about five
minutes.
11)Select Backlight Display – The display backlight improves
display contrast in low lighting conditions. When the "C"
terminal is powered, selecting backlight CdL ON will keep
the light on continuously. Select backlight OFF will keep
the light on momentarily after any key is pressed. When the
"C" terminal is not powered, the light will be on momen-
tarily after any key is pressed no matter the backlight is
selected ON or OFF.
12)Select Fast Second Stage On or OFF – For Heat:
During normal operation if the setpoint temperature is
manually raised by 3°F or more above the actual
temperature with the button, and the fast second
stage feature is enabled, FA ON, the second stage will
energize immediately.
For Cool: During normal operation if the setpoint tem-
perature is manually lowered by 3°F or more below the
actual temperature with the button, and the fast
second stage feature is enabled, FA ON, the second
stage will energize immediately.
13)Select filter replacement run time – The thermostat will
display "FLTR"after a set time of operation. This is a
reminder to change or clean your air filter. This time can be
set from 0 to 1950 hours in 50 hour increments. A selec-
tion of 0 will cancel this feature. When "FLTR"is
displayed, you can clear it by pressing HOLD and RUN at
the same time. This resets the timer and starts counting the
hours until the next filter change. Contact your system
manufacturer for a specific replacement/maintenance
interval.

Remote Temperature Sensor Information
on the Thermostat Display
During normal operation, the upper left of the thermostat
display changes every 6 seconds to show the temperatures
at the sensors that are turned on in the configuration menu.
The sensors are the thermostat (LOCAL), the outdoor
remote sensor (OUTDOOR) and the indoor remote sensor
(REMOTE). Below that, the display alternately shows the
time and temperature average of the sensors that are turned
on.
The word "SIGNAL"is shown along with number of bars (1-
3) indicating the relative signal strength. More bars mean
better reception. The antenna icon also displays for few
seconds when information from the remote sensor is
received.
If the thermostat does not receive an update signal from an
enabled remote sensor (REMOTE or OUTDOOR) for 30
minutes or more, the thermostat will display FAULT and
ANTENNA icons continuously. The REMOTE or OUTDOOR
sensor that has communication with the thermostat inter-
rupted will display a temperature of --. If the active sensor is
the REMOTE, the thermostat will revert back to LOCAL
sense only mode.
OPERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT AND REMOTE SENSOR
Automatic System Changeover
When the thermostat is in the AUTO mode, the thermostat
will call for heat or cool depending on the room temperature.
The setpoint temperature displayed will be the last mode
called. If the last system cycle was heat, the HEAT setpoint
will be displayed. If the room temperature raises above the
HEAT setpoint and the COOL setpoint and a call for cool is
required, the temperature displayed will change to be the
COOL setpoint.
If you manually override the temperature in AUTO and it
does not switch to the mode (HEAT or COOL) that you want,
press the and keys once, at the same time to switch
modes. At the end of your override time it will revert back to
AUTO.
Second Stage Time Delay
Your thermostat is designed to determine the optimum time
to activate the second stage. Simply raising the temperature
in heating or lowering it in cooling will not always force the
thermostat to bring the second stage on quickly. If the fast
second stage option in the configuration menu (step 12) is
set to "OFF", there is a delay from 0-30 minutes depending
on the performance of the first stage of the system.
EXAMPLE: For the last 2 hours the thermostat is set on 70°
and the room temperature is 70° with the equipment using
only the first stage of heat. Since the equipment is keeping
the temperature within 1 degree of setpoint, the thermostat
will delay second stage for a longer time if you manually
raise the temperature or if the room temperature quickly
changes. Once the second stage comes on, it will come on
sooner the next time there is a difference between the
setpoint and the room temperature. The net effect of the
staging program is that when the first stage is capable of
holding temperature, the second stage will delay longer.
When the thermostat calculates that first stage cannot make
temperature in a reasonable time, the second stage will
come on sooner. This built in function automatically opti-
mizes the use of additional stages of heat or cool.
Learn Mode Option
Your thermostat is configured at the factory to recognize the
wireless remote sensor shipped with it. This sensor is stored
as Sensor A. The Learn Mode Option must be performed on
the thermostat and wireless remote sensor if:
• A wireless remote sensor is added to another channel.
• The wireless remote sensor is replaced.
• The thermostat is replaced.
• The thermostat has been reset using , , and
SYSTEM keys.
During the Learn Mode, the wireless remote sensor will
transmit identification information every ten seconds for ten
minutes. In this ten-minute period, the display will show
“LEARN” and the antenna icon will show for a short time with
each transmission. The thermostat will be receiving the
transmitted identification information.
To perform the Learn Mode on the thermostat and sensor:
Remove the batteries from all wireless remote sensors in
the same building except the sensor you are going to put
into the Learn Mode. This will prevent interference from
the other sensors.

15
OPERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT AND REMOTE SENSOR
Be sure that the remote sensor is set for the proper
identification (A, B or C for indoor or O for outdoor) and
the thermostat and remote sensor are set to the same
frequency.
On the thermostat, enter the thermostat Configuration
Menu by pressing the SYSTEM button to OFF and then
momentarily pressing and at the same time.
Momentarily press SYSTEM button to advance to step 2
of the Configuration Menu. The display will show “LER”
and“OFF”.
Momentarily press or to select “LER” and “On”.
The display will flash “LER” with “On” displayed con-
stantly.
On the wireless remote sensor, enter the Installer
Configuration Menu by pressing and for five
seconds. The remote sensor display will change to
“LEARNOFF”.
Momentarily press or to select “LEARN On”.
Exit the menu. The sensor will begin the Learn mode.
After the thermostat has successfully identified the
remote sensor in approximately one minute, the sensor
information will be stored and the thermostat display will
changeto“LER”and“OK”.
If the identification sequence is not successful after ten
minutes, the thermostat display will show “LER”, “Fault” and
the antenna icon. If the Learn Mode is unsuccessful, refer to
Troubleshooting section, Antenna + Fault.
If you are replacing a thermostat that has more than one
wireless remote sensor, the Learn Mode must be performed
for each sensor. Once a sensor has been identified, it will
remain in the thermostat memory until the Learn Mode is
performed again and a different sensor for the stored
channel is identified.
WirelessRemoteIndoor
TemperatureAveraging
Your thermostat is designed to sense the temperature of
the indoor remote sensor and average or weight it with the
local sensor in the thermostat for each program period. The
averaging will only be active when both the local and the
indoor remote sensors are functional and turned on in the
configuration menu. When the thermostat is placed in view
schedule mode (press PRGM once), the weight of the
indoor remote sensor will be shown on the left side of the
display when HOLD button is pressed. The weighting
classes of the indoor remote sensor are designated as A
(default for average weight), HI (high weight), or LO (low
weight). The HI weight is two times the weight of A(aver-
age). The Aweight is two times the weight of LO. The weight
of the local sensor is fixed to A(average weight).
The actual temperature displayed, in the clock digits, in the
normal operation mode is the mathematical weighted sum
of the enabled functioning sensors. For example, if the local
sensed temperature is 80°F and the remote sensed
temperature is 70°F then:
If weight selected is HI , then the averaged temperature is
(2 x (80°F) + 4 x (70°F))/ 6 = 73.3°F.
If weight selected is A, then the averaged temperature
is (2 x (80°F) + 2 x (70°F))/ 4 = 75°F.
If weight selected is LO , then the averaged temperature
is (2 x (80°F) + 1 x (70°F))/ 3 = 76.6°F.
The example above shows that the weight selected would
prioritize the overall averaged temperature between the two
sensors. The high weight selection caused the remote
sensor to carry more weight in the calculated temperature
average than the local sensor. The low weight selection
caused the remote sensor to carry less weight in the
calculated temperature average than the local sensor.
Choose the Fan Setting (Auto or On)
Set the FAN Switch to Auto or On.
Fan Auto is the most commonly selected setting and runs
the fan only when the heating or cooling system is on.

PROGRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT
This section will help you plan your thermostat's program to
meet your needs. For maximum comfort and efficiency, keep
the following guidelines in mind when planning your program.
• When heating (cooling) your building, program the temper-
atures to be cooler (warmer) when the building is vacant or
during periods of low activity.
• During early morning hours, the need for cooling is usually
minimal. Planning Your Program
Look at the factory preprogrammed times and temperatures
shown in the sample schedule. If this program will suit your
needs, simply set the time and day and press the RUN
button to begin running the factory preset program.
If you want to change the preprogrammed times and tem-
peratures, follow these steps.
Determine the time periods and temperatures for your
program. You must program four periods for each day.
However, you may use the same heating and cooling
temperatures for consecutive time periods. You can choose
start times, heating temperatures, and cooling temperatures
independently (for example, you may select 5:00 AM and 70°
as the weekday 1st period heating start time and tempera-
ture and also choose 7:00 AM and 76° as the weekday 1st
period cooling start time and temperature).
Use the table to plan your program time periods and the
temperatures you want during each period. Fill in the
complete table to have a record of your programs.
OPERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT AND REMOTE SENSOR
PERSONAL PROGRAM
Remote Sensor Operation
The sensor monitors the temperature and sends information
to the thermostat. Updated information is sent to the thermo-
stat when the temperature changes 3/16 degree or more
from the last update. If the temperature does not change for
10 minutes, the sensor will transmit to assure communica-
tion.
Low Battery power: The sensor will display the word LO
along with BATT icon to indicate a low battery power
condition. The 2 "AAA" batteries must be replaced to ensure
a proper sensor performance. For optimum performance,
replace batteries once a year with new premium brand
alkaline batteries such as Duracell®or Energizer®.
Thermostat Setpoint Offset: The thermostat displayed
setpoint can be offset using the remote sensor and
buttons. The remote setpoint offset is defaulted to 0 (zero).
Press to increase the setpoint up to 4o (four bars C) or
press to decrease the setpoint up to 4o (four bars H). After
the last button press, the remote sensor will delay for ten
seconds and then transmit the setpoint offset information.
When the thermostat receives the offset information, it will
start a remote sensor temporary hold for the length of time
set in the Remote Sensor Configuration Menu, item 2. The
setpoint temperature will be changed by the amount of offset
transmitted. HOLD on the thermostat will flash and HLD on
the sensor will display for the period of the hold. The remote
sensor Thermostat Setpoint offset can be cancelled at any
time by pressing the thermostat RUN button.

Energizing the air conditioner compressor during
cold weather may cause personal injury or property
damage.

Possible Cause
1. Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.
2. Furnace power switch to OFF.
3. Furnace blower compartment door or
panel loose or not properly installed.
1. Pilot light not lit.
2. SYSTEM Switch not set to HEAT.
3. Loose connection to thermostat or
system.
4. Furnace Lock-Out Condition. Heat
may also be intermittent.
5. Heating system requires service or
thermostat requires replacement.
1. SYSTEM Switch not set to COOL.
2. Loose connection to thermostat or
system.
3. Cooling system requires service or
thermostat requires replacement.
1. Program or current time(s) set
incorrectly (AM, PM or Day of the
week).
2. Energy Management Recovery
(EMR) starting the program early.
In power stealing mode (RC/PS Switch
set to PS), the thermostat draws a small
amount of power through the heating circuit
to operate. Some furnace systems using
high impedance input electronic modules
may react to the current draw and actuate
system components.
1. Loss of power from heating/cooling
system to thermostat.
2. Remote sensor too far from thermostat.
3. Thermostat or remote sensor set to
different channels or a different frequency
offset.
4. Incorrect sensor identification selected.
5. Replacement Sensor requires
running learn mode.
6. Remote sensor requires replacement.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Reset Operation
If a voltage spike or static discharge blanks out the display or causes erratic thermostat operation, you can reset the
thermostat by removing the wires from terminals R and C for 2 minutes. After resetting the thermostat, replace the wires . If
the thermostat has been reset and still does not function correctly contact your heating/cooling service person or place of
purchase.
Pressing and and the SYSTEM keys at the same time will reset the thermostat to its factory default setting. This will
also clear any limited temperature ranges or keypad lockout settings. Note default system configuration is multistage system
operation.

Corrective Action
Replace fuse or reset breaker.
Turn switch to ON.
Replace door panel in proper position to engage safety
interlock or door switch.
Re-light pilot.
Set SYSTEM Switch to HEAT and raise setpoint above
room temperature.
Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached.
Many furnaces have safety devices that shut down when
a lock-out condition occurs. If the heat works intermit-
tently contact the furnace manufacturer or local service
person for assistance.
Diagnostic: Set SYSTEM Switch to HEAT and raise the
setpoint above room temperature. Within a few seconds
the thermostat should make a soft click sound. This
sound usually indicates the thermostat is operating
properly. If the thermostat does not click, try the reset
operation listed above. If the thermostat does not click
after being reset contact your heating and cooling service
person or place of purchase for a replacement. If the
thermostat clicks, contact the furnace manufacturer or a
service person to verify the heating is operating correctly.
Set SYSTEM Switch to COOL and lower setpoint
below room temperature.
Verify thermostat and system wires are securely
attached.
Same procedure as diagnostic for No Heat condition
except set the thermostat to COOL and lower the setpoint
below the room temperature. There may be up to a five
minute delay before the thermostat clicks in Cooling.
Verify that the AM or PM settings are correct for
each program period and the current time of day.
Also verify the Day of the week is set correctly.
The EMR (Energy Management Recovery) feature
starts early to achieve the temperature it is pro-
grammed for by the time specified in the program.
See the Configuration Menu section to disable
EMR if you do not want the thermostat to start early.
1. Add a common connection from the system trans-
former to the "C" terminal on the thermostat and set the
RC/PS switch to RC.
2. If the system has a standard cooling contactor and no
common connection is available at the thermostat, clip
jumper W25-W1 and separate the ends. This prevents
the thermostat from drawing power from the W1
(heating) circuit. If the condition persists after clipping
the jumper, a heating and cooling service person can
install an isolation relay to the system or add a common
wire as mentioned above.
1. Verify the thermostat is operating on AC power by
removing the thermostat batteries. If display goes
blank, AC power is lost.
2. Change remote sensor location.
3. Verify the thermostat and remote sensor are set to the
same channel and frequency offset.
4. For indoor sensor, verify sensor identification selected
is A, B or C. For an outdoor sensor, verify the sensor
identification selected is O.
5. If the sensor did not come with this thermostat from
the factory, perform the learn procedure for thermo-
stat and sensor.
6. If the sensor display indicate E0 or E1, replace the
remote sensor.

PossibleCause
1. Improper system sizing or improper
heating and cooling distribution
between areas.
2. An uneven change in occupancy
level, sun load or conditioned space
activities (cooking, washing dishes,
showers, etc.) between the areas.
1. Possible short in wiring.
2. Possible short in thermostat.
3. Possible short in heat/cool/fan
system.
4. FAN Switch set to Fan ON.
1. The location of the thermostat and/or
the size of the Heating System may
be influencing the cycle rate.
1. Thermostat thermometer setting
requires adjustment.
1. Voltage spike or static discharge.
1. The desired setpoint conflicts with the
setpoint of the COOL mode.
1. The desired setpoint conflicts with the
setpoint of the HEAT mode.

CorrectiveAction
Selecting a high or low priority for the thermostat or
sensor location during program periods can help even out
minor temperature imbalances between the thermostat
and remote sensor locations. This is also useful for
scheduled or predictable events like occupancy level or
sun load during particular times of the day. If the tempera-
ture difference remains large after assigning priorities,
system modification or zoning may be necessary to
balance the temperature distribution.
Check each wire connection to verify they are not shorted
or touching together. No bare wire should stick out from
under terminal screws. Try resetting the thermostat as
described above. If the condition persists the manufac-
turer of your system or service person can instruct you
on how to test the Heat/Cool system for correct operation.
If the system operates correctly, replace the thermostat.
Digital thermostats normally provide precise temperature
control and may cycle faster than some older mechanical
models. A faster cycle rate means the unit turns on and
off more frequently but runs for a shorter time so there is
no increase in energy use. If you would like to increase
the cycle time, choose SL for slow cycle in the menu,
step 4. If an acceptable cycle rate is not achieved as
received or by choosing slow cycle, contact a local
service person for additional suggestions.
The thermometer can be adjusted +/- 3 degrees. See
Temperature Display Adjustment in the Configuration
Menu section.
Use the Reset Operation at top of previous page.
Change system mode to COOL. Raise the Cool setpoint.
Return to HEAT mode and set desired temperature.
Change system mode to HEAT. Lower the Heat setpoint.
Return to COOL mode and set desired temperature.
With the thermostat in any mode, press and at the
same time to enter the configuration menu at the point
where the lockout code is to be entered. Press and
and SYSTEM button at the same time to reset the lockout
code, unlock the keypad.
Your thermostat is designed to determine the optimum
time to activate the second stage. Simply raising the
temperature in heating or lowering it in cooling will not
always force the thermostat to bring the second stage on
quickly. There is a time delay from 0-30 minutes depend-
ing on the performance of the first stage of the system.

CommunicationProblem Solving
Problem solving steps are assuming that the thermostat and wireless remote sensor are together as a kit and are set up at the factory to
operate together. If a thermostat or sensor is being replaced the thermostat and sensor must have Learning Mode, or binding, run to associate
the sensor with the thermostat. See Learn Mode Option on page 11 of Installation Instruction.
Symptom
No Communication
between Sensor and
Thermostat
Possible Cause
Antenna wire installed improperly
24VAC not being provided
Configuration Menu items changed that
prevent communication.
Corrective Action
Antenna wire must be installed into the wall
Check thermostat wiring and RC/PS switch position. If
terminal C has a wire connected, RC/PS switch must be
in RC position, if terminal C does not have a wire
connected, RC/PS switch must be in PS position.
Reset thermostat by pressing , , and SYSTEM keys
at the same time. Be sure that thermostat has remote
enabled. Begin Learn mode on remote sensor. Begin
Learn mode on thermostat. Thermostat will indicate LER
and OK within one minute.

CorrectiveAction
