This thermostat uses a recovery process that turns your heating/cooling equipment on or off at the time you program the temperature to change. For example, if you program the thermostat's heating program to 72°F at 6:00 AM, the heating equipment will come on at 6:00 AM and begin warming the house to 72°F. If 5 you want the temperature in the house to be 72°F at 6:00 AM, you should program the thermostat to an earlier time; for example, 5:30. (The exact amount of time it takes your home to warm or cool to the temperature you want depends on many factors such as the size of your heating/cooling equipment and the outdoor temperature.) If this thermostat is for a heat pump system, the thermostat uses an algorithm when recovering from setback that helps reduce the use of auxiliary heat. 69-1575 PROGRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT IMPORTANT Batteries must be installed to maintain time and date in the event of power loss. You will find it helpful to complete the Personal Programming Charts on the following pages before you begin programming the thermostat. Plan your program schedule of time and temperature settings for various times of the day by filling in the boxes in the Personal Programming Charts. There are four time periods available for weekdays, Saturday, and Sunday--WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN, and 6 SLEEP on the T7512A,B Thermostats. These periods can be displayed individually on the thermostat as you press the WEEKDAY SCHEDULE or WEEKEND SCHEDULE keys. You may want to enter a different schedule for the cooling and the heating seasons. WAKE is the time you get up. Generally you want the house at a comfortable temperature when you wake up and get ready to go to work or school. Set the WAKE time earlier than your alarm clock so the house has time to warm up or cool down before you get up. 69-1575 LEAVE is the time you leave for work or school. Generally, once you leave the house, you want the temperature higher or lower (depending on the season) so that you can save energy while you are away. RETURN is the time you return from work or school. Once again, you want the house at a comfortable temperature when you return and go about the normal activities of your day before bedtime. Set the RETURN time earlier than the time you actually get home so the house has time to warm up or cool down before you get there. SLEEP is the time you usually go to sleep. While you are sleeping, you can save energy by setting the thermostat to control the temperature higher or lower (depending on the season). For more comfortable sleeping, some people choose not to raise the cooling temperature at night. If you decide not to program the thermostat, it automatically controls heating and cooling temperatures as follows: Starting at 6:00 AM every day, the thermostat sets the heating temperature to 68° and the cooling temperature to 76°F. 7 69-1575 At 10:00 PM every night, the thermostat sets the heating temperature back to 60°F; the cooling temperature remains at 76°F. You do not need to enter a time and temperature program for every period if your schedule does not require it. For example, if your house is occupied during the day on weekdays, you can program only the WAKE and SLEEP times. NOTE: Temperatures cannot be set any higher than 88°F or any lower than 45°F.

If you make a mistake during programming, press the Run Program key and reprogram the time, temperature, or offset value with the error. current day is displayed. After you have set the time and day, press the Run Program key. Step 2--Enter the Program Schedules Entering a Heating Schedule Refer to your Personal Programming Charts and proceed as follows: Press the System key until the thermostat displays the word HEAT to indicate you are in the heating mode. Press and release the Weekday Schedule key once. The words WAKE, MON...FRI and SET appear on the display. Press the Ahead or Back keys to set the weekday WAKE time from your Personal Programming Charts. Press the Warmer 10 69-1575 Step 1--Set the Current Time/Day To set the time, press and release the Set Clock/Day key once. Press Ahead or Back keys until the current time is displayed. To set the day, press and release the Set Clock/Day key again. Press Ahead or Back keys until the or Cooler keys to set the weekday WAKE temperature from your Personal Programming Charts. Repeat the above sequence for the other weekday schedules: LEAVE, RETURN, and SLEEP. Press the Weekend Schedule key until SAT, WAKE and SET appear on the display. Set the WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN and SLEEP schedules for Saturday just as you did for the weekdays. Press the Weekend Schedule key again so that SUN, WAKE and SET appear on the display. Set the WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN and SLEEP schedules for Sunday just as you did for the weekdays and Saturday. 11 Enter Offset Values Enter the offset value for each Time-of-Use Pricing rate using the Offset key. You can enter offset numbers only if you are a subscriber to Time-of-Use Pricing. The offset value you enter is the number of degrees you are willing to allow the heating or cooling temperature you have already programmed for normal operation to change so you can save money at each rate. For example, if you normally want your home heated to 72° when rate 1 is in effect, but are willing to let your home cool to 70° when rate 2 is in effect, your heating offset value for rate 2 is -2 (72° -2° = 70°). If you do not enter an offset, the offset is 0°. The first time you press the Offset key, the 69-1575 offset for rate 1 is displayed (note the indicator on the thermostat display as shown in Fig. 1). Use the Warmer and Cooler keys to set the offset value. Repeat the procedure for each rate. After you have entered the last offset value, press the Run Program key. Entering a Cooling Schedule Press the System key until the thermostat displays the word COOL to indicate you are in the cooling mode. Enter cooling temperatures for the WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN and SLEEP times by following the same instructions as for Entering a Heating Schedule above. If you subscribe to 12 Time-of-Use Pricing, enter offset values for the cooling season as you did for the heating season. Step 3--Set the System and Fan Controls After programming the thermostat, set the system and fan controls as follows: System Control If you have a conventional heating/cooling system, the system can be set to: HEAT, COOL or OFF. If you have a heat pump system, the system can be set to: HEAT, EM. HEAT, COOL or OFF. 69-1575 You can change the system setting by pressing the System key. Each time you press the key, the system status changes to the next setting. The status of the system is as follows when the associated indicator is displayed: HEAT: The thermostat will control your heating system according to the schedule you programmed (heat pump in heating mode). EM. HEAT: The thermostat will disable the heat pump and control the emergency heater element according to the schedule you programmed. COOL: The thermostat will control your air conditioning system according to the schedule you programmed (heat pump in cooling mode). No status: Both the heating and air conditioning systems are off (heat pump off) displayed. Fan Control There are two fan settings: AUTO and ON. Set the fan at the setting you want by pressing the Fan key. Each time you press the key, the fan status changes to the next setting. When FAN is displayed, the fan is on continuously. Use this setting for improved air circulation during special occasions or for more efficient electronic air cleaning. 13 69-1575 When nothing is displayed, the fan is in AUTO mode (it comes on with the heating or cooling equipment, as needed). AUTO is the normal setting for most homes and allows a singlespeed fan to turn on automatically with the air conditioner or furnace. If you have a two-speed fan, it usually runs on high with the air conditioner and on low with the furnace. OPERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT Normally you want your thermostat to run according to the program you entered; however, you can also change your program to perform the following operations. NOTE: The system control must be set to HEAT or COOL to perform the following operations. Temporarily Change Temperature Setting for the Current Period Only Press the Warmer or Cooler key until the temperature you want is displayed. The temporary setting stays in effect only until the next scheduled program change. (If you 14 69-1575 Step 4--Start the Thermostat Program To start the thermostat using the program you have just entered, press the Run Program key. subscribe to Time-of-Use Pricing, it stays in effect only until the next rate change.) To cancel the temperature change, press the Run Program key. When a temporary temperature is in effect, the display alternates between the time/temperature and the temporary setting. Hold a Temperature Indefinitely You could find this operation useful when you go out of town on business or on vacation. Press the Hold Temp key and then set the temperature using the Warmer or Cooler keys. This temperature stays in effect until you press the Run Program key. Check the Current Temperature Setting To check the current (programmed) temperature setting, press the Present Setting key. Then verify the setting you selected. Check the Programs You Entered Press the Weekday Schedule or Weekend Schedule key. Each time you press the key, the next program schedule is displayed. You can use this feature to verify that you correctly entered the program as shown in your Personal Programming Charts. Cancel a Program You can cancel a program by pressing the Weekday Schedule or Weekend Schedule 15 69-1575 key until the program you want to cancel is displayed; then press the Clear key. NOTE: You cannot cancel the WEEKDAY WAKE program. Check Usage This thermostat keeps a record of the current and accumulated on-time of your heating and cooling equipment. It tracks current day usage (since midnight) and accumulated usage (since the accumulator was last cleared). If you subscribe to Time-of-Use Pricing, the thermostat records usage for each rate. To view heating or cooling equipment usage, press the System key to display HEAT or 16 COOL, then press the Usage key. Each time you press the Usage key, the thermostat displays the next usage value. The HR and MIN segments are lit and the display shows the numerical value for each. If you do not subscribe to Time-of-Use Pricing, the thermostat displays current usage the first time you press the Usage key and accumulated usage the next time you press the Usage key. If you subscribe to Time-of-Use Pricing, there are eight usage values that can be displayed. The first time you press the Usage key, the thermostat displays the current usage value for rate 1. Each time you press the Usage key 69-1575 again, usage values for rates 2, 3 and 4 , respectively,are then incrementally displayed. If you continue to press the Usage key, accumulated usage values are repeated for rates 1 through 4. Press the Run Program key to stop viewing usage. Current day usage is automatically cleared at midnight. To clear an accumulated value, press the Usage key until the value you want to clear is displayed and then press the Clear key. If you subscribe to Time-of-Use Pricing, your utility can also clear the accumulators by sending a message to the thermostat. Permanently Change a Program To permanently change a program, repeat the appropriate steps in Programming Your Thermostat. Return to Normal Program or Start Program Any time you want to return to the normal program or start the program, press the Run Program key. If you temporarily changed the temperature or you used the Hold Temp key, pressing the Run Program key will cancel your change. Change Fan or System Control Settings Change the fan setting by pressing the Fan key. Each time you press the key, the fan status changes to the next setting. When FAN is 17 69-1575 displayed, the fan is on continuously. When nothing is displayed, the fan is in AUTO mode (it comes on with the heating or cooling equipment, as needed). Change the system setting by pressing the System key. Each time you press the key, the system status changes to the next setting. THERMOSTAT OPERATION WHEN SPECIAL PROGRAMS ARE IN EFFECT Normally your thermostat operates as you programmed it. If you subscribe to either of the following special programs, there may be times when it does not operate as you expect. Before calling for service, read the following information. Direct Load Control (DLC) When the thermostat is operating under DLC, the amount of time your heating/cooling system can operate is controlled by radio signal from 18 69-1575 your utility company. If you notice the temperature in your home is higher or lower than the setting you programmed into the thermostat, check the thermostat display. To indicate the equipment is under DLC, the thermostat displays the word SAVING. You cannot control the heating/cooling equipment when it is under DLC. When the utility releases your thermostat from DLC, your heating or cooling equipment may not be immediately available. To prevent damage to your heating and cooling equipment and to allow the utility to bring the equipment on-line effectively of all homes that subscribe to DLC, your thermostat automatically calculates and initiates a time delay before the heating or cooling equipment comes on. You cannot override this time delay. Time-of-Use Pricing If you subscribe to Time-of-Use Pricing, the thermostat displays the rate in effect, see Fig. 1. You cannot adjust which rate is in effect; you can only adjust the temperature offset value for each rate. Refer to Programming Your Thermostat section for information on setting the offset value for Time-of-Use Pricing. To notify you a rate change will be occurring, the Time-of-Use indicator on the thermostat begins blinking onehalf hour before the rate change takes effect. 19 69-1575 When a rate change message is received by the thermostat, your heating/cooling system automatically operates at the temperature and offset value you programmed. You cannot temporarily override the offset. If you need to change the offset, refer to Programming Your Thermostat. For additional information about either of these programs, contact your utility company. REPLACING THE THERMOSTAT BATTERIES IMPORTANT Batteries must be installed to maintain the time and date in the event of a power loss. Although the thermostat has a low battery indicator, replace the batteries once every two years to prevent the thermostat from losing its time/date information in the event of a momentary power loss. As the batteries run low, the display shows bAt Lo. This low battery indication flashes for one to two months before the batteries run out 20 69-1575 completely. Replace the batteries as soon as possible after the indicator starts flashing. You will need two AA alkaline batteries; nonalkaline batteries will not last as long, and can leak, causing damage to the thermostat or the wall surface. We recommend Energizer® batteries. · Use a coin to carefully remove the battery door. · Press down on the left ends of the batteries to remove them. · Install the fresh batteries as shown in Fig. 3.
