Introduction Configuration TroubleshootingProgramming Features FAQs Index
Thank you for purchasing your
new White-Rodgers 90 Series
thermostat with humidity control.
White-Rodgers has been producing
energy saving controls for over 60
years. We have been designing and
producing the White-Rodgers 90
Series family of electronic pro-
grammable thermostats since 1982.
White-Rodgers 90 Series is the
third generation of the electronic
programmable family. We believe
you will find that the White-
Rodgers 90 Series is the most user
friendly and technologically
advanced thermostat and humidity
control available today.
You will find information about
thermostat buttons (page 1) and
display beginning on page 2.

CONFIGURATION MENU
FEATURES
AdjustableTemperature Display.
(User menu Item 1), The room
temperature display can be adjusted to
read higher or lower by following the
User menu and adjusting the tempera-
ture to a higher or lower value. The
thermostat is calibrated at the factory to
display a very accurate room tempera-
ture, but due to various conditions and/
or personal preference, you may wish to
adjust the thermostat display higher or
lower (up to 5°F). For example, if the
thermostat displays a room temperature
of 70° and you want it to display 73° the
display can be adjusted to read 73°. To
adjust, refer to the CONFIGURATION
section (page 5, step 1).
Selectable Energy Management
Recovery (EMR).
(User menu Step 2) EMR causes the
thermostat to start operating the system
early in order to make the building
temperature reach your program
setpoint at the time you specify. In
multistage heating, the thermostat will
start 8 minutes early for every 1°F
difference between the room tempera-
ture and the next programmed
temperature. In cooling and heat pump
applications, the thermostat uses 15
minutes per °F. For heating applica-
tions in large buildings where extra
time to reach the set temperature may
be desired, EMR ong may be
selected. When EMR ON L is selected
in the user menu (page 5, item 2) the
thermostat uses 15 minutes per °F.
EXAMP E: If the temperature in the
room is 65°F and the thermostat is
programmed for 70°F at 7 AM, the
thermostat will start approximately 40
minutes early. The difference between the
room temperature (65°F) and the setpoint
(70°F) is 5° and 5° X 8 minutes per °F =
40 minutes. The setpoint on the display
will actually change to display 70° about
40 minutes early. The maximum time the
thermostat can start early in heating is 75

F145-1378 outdoor sensor.

minutes (or 3 hours, 45 minutes if EMR
ON L is selected). The maximum time in
cooling and heat pump applications is 3
hours and 45 minutes. Cooling or heat
pump applications start earlier because it
takes longer to reach the desired
temperature. This feature also minimizes
the use of the auxiliary stages if conditions
are such that the compressor stages are
adequate to reach the desired setpoint.
To select or deselect this feature, refer to
the CONFIGURATION section (page 4,
step 2).
Adjustable Hum d ty D splay (RH)
(User Menu step 3) The room
humidity display can be adjusted to
read higher or lower by following the
configuration menu and adjusting the
humidity to a higher or lower value.
The thermostat is calibrated at the
factory to display a very accurate
room humidity, but due to various
conditions and/or personal preference,
you may wish to adjust the thermostat
display higher or lower (up to +/-
20%). For example, if the thermostat
displays room humidity of 40% but
you want it to display 43% you can
adjust it. To adjust, refer to the
CONFIGURATION section (page 4,
step 3).
Programmable Automat c
Hum d ty Reduct on (DRY)
(User Menu step 4)
This feature automatically lowers
humidity setting when the outside
temperature drops. This is to prevent
the interior windows/walls from
reaching the dew point where water
condenses on surfaces. To achieve
automatic humidity reduction, the
thermostat lowers the humidity when
furnace cycles are long. When the
furnace runs shorter cycles, it increases
humidity. For suggested settings see
table below.
Programmable Dehum d f cat on
Opt mal Comfort Mode (OPTM
CMFT)
(User Menu step 5)When turned on
this feature automatically reduces
indoor humidity during calls for
cooling if humidity is 2% above
setting. Humidity is set by pressing the
Humidity button when in the appropri-
ate mode, in this case Cooling, and
pressing the or buttons to
set desired humidity (range 40 to 95)
level followed by pressing Run
Program. This dehumidification
feature uses less energy by maintaining
temperature and dehumidifying only
when a call for Cooling is required.

Programmable Dehumidification
Optimal Dehumidification Mode
(OPTM DHUM)
(User Menu step 6)When turned on
this feature automatically reduces
indoor humidity if humidity is 2%
above setting. Humidity is set by
pressing the HUMIDITY button
when in the appropriate mode, in this
case Cooling, and pressing the
or buttons to set desired
humidity level followed by pressing
RUN
PROGRAM. This dehumidifi-
cation feature may use more energy
by making dehumidification a priority
initiating a call for cooling if humidity
is 2% above desired setting. This
feature may also over-cool the
condition space by up to 3 degrees to
achieve the desired humidity level.
Fahrenheit or Celsius
Temperature Display.
(User menu Step 7) This thermostat
is factory set to display temperature in
Fahrenheit. If you prefer, you may
configure the thermostat to display
Celsius. See the CONFIGURATION
Section, page 4.
Single Period Fan Control.
(User menu Step 8) This feature
allows you to have the fan run for a
predetermined period of time by
pressing the FAN key twice within 1.5
seconds. If a time is set in the User
menu (page 4, step 8) the display will
show FAN, # hrs and PRG FAN ON
for six seconds. After six seconds the
display will continue to indicate PRG
FAN ON for the time period selected.
After this time period, the fan will
return to normal operation. To return the
fan to normal operation before the end of
the time period, press the FAN button.
Beeper on.
(User menu, Step 9) The thermostat
has a beeper that will emit a tone when
any key is pressed. In the user menu, the
BEEP feature can be turned OFF using
or to provide silent key
operation.
Heat Fast.
(User menu, Step 10) This feature,
when set to ON, will bring the second
stage of heating on any time you
manually raise the temperature three or
more degrees above room temperature.
If HEAT FAST is set to OFF, the
thermostat will delay the second stage
from 0 to 0 minutes based on how well
the first stage is keeping up with your
setting.
