programming). Fresh batteries will main-
tain the stored program for approximately a
year. If power loss is long enough for the
program to be lost, the thermostat will auto-
matically return to the factory programmed
temperatures (64°F heating and 82°F cool-
ing) when power is restored. You must
reprogram the thermostat if this happens.
If the word BATTERY is flashing in the
display window, the batteries are low and
should be replaced with fresh "AA" Ener-
gizer® alkaline batteries.

next program period, beginning at 6:00 AM,
you have programmed a temperature of
70°F. The thermostat will automatically
activate the heating system at about 5:00
AM, so that the programmed 70°F tempera-
ture is reached by about 6:00 AM.
OPERATING FEATURES
Now that you are familiar with the thermostat
display and buttons, read the following informa-
tion to learn about the many features of the
thermostat.
This feature is controlled by Group B option
switch#3. ToenabletheEMRfunction,first
you must move option switch #3 (located on
the back of the thermostat body) to the OFF
position, if it has not already been done. To
do this, turn off 24v AC power to the thermo-
stat. Then remove the thermostat body
from the wall. Check the position of switch
#3 (the last switch on the right). If it is OFF
(down), simply put the thermostat back on
the wall and restore 24v AC power. If the
switch is ON (up), remove the battery, then
• COMPUTED ENERGY MANAGEMENT
RECOVERY (EMR) — The thermostat’s
microcomputer can be set to automatically
calculate the time it will take to change the
temperature to the next program setting.
Then the thermostat will activate the heat-
ing or cooling system to change the tem-
perature so that the desired temperature is
reached at the beginning of the next pro-
gram period. As an example of this feature,
assume that you have programmed your
thermostat to provide an overnight heating

switch #2 to the OFF position. Turn off 24v
AC power to the thermostat. Then remove
the thermostat body from the wall. Check
the position of Group B option switches #1
and #2 (the first two switches on the left). If
they are in the correct positions, simply put
the thermostat back on the wall and restore
24v AC power. If the switches are not

PROGRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT
Now you are ready to program your thermostat.
This section will help you plan your thermostat's
program to meet your needs.
PLANNING FOR YOUR NEEDS
First, answer the following questionsto help you
decide what your needs are. If you are using the
thermostatforacommercialapplication(astore,
officebuilding,etc.),answerquestions1through
4. If you are using the thermostat in your home,
answer questions 5 through 8.
For maximum comfort and efficiency, keep the
following guidelines in mind when planning your
program.
• When heating (cooling) your building, pro-
gramthetemperaturestobecooler(warmer)
when the building is vacant or during peri-
ods of low activity.
FOR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS:
1a. What time does the first person arrive at the
building in the morning?
• During early morning hours, the need for
cooling is usually minimal.
b. What temperature should the building be at
this time? (heating? cooling?) These will be

To operate properly in the AUTO mode, there
must be a minimum 1°F separation between
the highest heat temperature and the lowest
cool temperature (see diagram below).

(MOR, DAY, EVE, and NHT). However, you
mayusethesameheatingandcoolingtempera-
tures for consecutive time periods. You can
choose start times, heating temperatures, and
cooling temperatures independently for both
weekday and weekend programs (for example,
youmayselect5:00AMand70° astheweekday
MOR heating start time and temperature, and
choose 7:00 AM and 76° as the weekday MOR
cooling start time and temperature). Use the
following table to plan your program time peri-
ods,andthetemperaturesyouwantduringeach
period. You may also want to look at the sample
program table to get an idea of how the thermo-
stat can be programmed.
ENTERING YOUR PROGRAM
Follow these steps to enter the heating and
cooling programs you have selected.
NOTE
We recommend that you remove the thermostat
from the wall for programming (especially for
entering cooling programming). Fresh "AA"
Energizer® alkaline batteries must be installed
to perform off-wall programming. BE SURE

4. What happens if the electricity goes off
or is manually shut off?
6. What can cause the thermostat display
to freeze or go blank?
If you have not installed 3 "AA" alkaline
batteries, the display will go blank and the
program will be lost in approximately one
minute. When electricity is restored, the
clock will reset itself to 12:00 PM (noon) and
the thermostat will maintain a heating tem-
perature of 64°F and a cooling temperature
of 82°F until you reenter your program.
Setpoint temperature will not be displayed.
A completely blank display may indicate
that power has been lost to the thermostat
and the backup battery is also dead. How-
ever, if there is power to the thermostat and
the display is blank or frozen, static dis-
charge is probably the cause.

During periods of low humidity (especially
during cold weather), you may feel or see a
spark discharge when you touch the ther-
mostat. This may cause the program to be
lost or the thermostat to display incorrectly.
To correct this, remove the thermostat from
the wall and disconnect the battery. Wait
about one minute, then reconnect the bat-
tery. Thethermostatwillreverttothefactory
preset program until you reprogram the
thermostat. If you don’t want to reprogram

To prevent further static discharge prob-
lems, touch another object to release static
build-up before touching the thermostat.

7. Why won’t the setpoint temperature go
to the temperature I want?
In the AUTO mode, the highest heating
setpoint temperature you select must be at
least 1°F lower than the lowest cooling
setpoint temperature you select (for ex-
ample, if 70°F is your lowest selected cool-
ing temperature, you cannot select a heat-
ing temperature any higher than 68°F). If
such a conflict exists, you must set the
lowest cooling temperature higher in order
to set the heating temperature higher. To
set a lower cooling temperature, you must
select a lower heating temperature. See
