It's the smart thermostat that: s Keeps you comfortable by automatically calculating exactly when the furnace or air conditioning should go on to have the house at the desired comfort temperature at the time you want. s Saves the maximum amount of energy and money by remembering to automatically set back the heat or air conditioning when you leave home or sleep. Provides the ultimate in comfort and convenience. It comes already programmed, so it's your choice--use the pre-programmed schedule or set your own. s TABLE OF CONTENTS Programmed Recovery ......................................... 1-4 Recovery Setting ................................................... 5-6 Programming Your Thermostat ......................... 7-22 Set the current day and time .................................. 7 Set the program schedule and heating temperatures ........................................ 8 Set the cooling temperatures, if you have air conditioning .............................. 15 Set the system and fan switches, if your thermostat has them ............................. 21 Operating Your Thermostat ............................. 23-29 Temporarily changing the program ...................... 23 Permanently changing the program ..................... 25 Operating the thermostat manually ...................... 26 Canceling program settings .................................. 27 Checking the program times and temperatures ............................................ 28 Checking the current temperature setting .......................................... 29 Maintaining Your Thermostat .......................... 31-34 Removing the thermostat ..................................... 31 Replacing the thermostat ..................................... 32 Replacing the batteries ......................................... 33 Power outages ..................................................... 34 Glossary ............................................................. 35-37 Your Personal Program .................................... 39-40 Troubleshooting Guide ..................................... 41-42 Typical Questions ............................................. 43-46 Typical Energy Savings .......................................... 47 Quick Reference to the Keys ........................... 49-50 Index ................................................................... 51-52 i PROGRAMMED RECOVERY PROGRAMMED RECOVERY-- BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY SENSES TEMPERATURE MORE LIKE YOU DO M168 1 Your new thermostat is so smart, it's almost human. s Your body perceives temperature from a variety of sources, not only from the air in the room, but also from your surroundings--walls, windows and furnishings. Human beings feel differences in temperature as slight as one degree Celsius. Common household thermometers and standard thermostats sense only air temperature, which may or may not reflect how hot or cold the room actually feels to a human being. Your new thermostat reads the temperature of the wall as well as the air--and responds to temperature changes as little as one-half degree Celsius--so room temperature is more likely to "feel right" to you and your family. s s s PROGRAMMED RECOVERY 2 PROGRAMMED RECOVERY THE OPTIMUM COMFORT AND ENERGY SAVINGS SOLUTION TEMPERATURE PT PM BAT SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT COOL ON HEAT ON WAKE LEAVE RETURN SLEEP TEMPORARY UNOCCUIPIED System Operating in Comfort Mode PT PM BAT SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT COOL ON HEAT ON WAKE LEAVE RETURN SLEEP TEMPORARY UNOCCUIPIED AM REPL SET AM REPL SET Recovery Begins AM REPL PM BAT SET PT Recovery Continues SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT COOL ON HEAT ON WAKE LEAVE RETURN SLEEP TEMPORARY UNOCCUIPIED System Operating in Energy Saving Mode PT PM BAT SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT COOL ON HEAT ON WAKE LEAVE RETURN SLEEP TEMPORARY UNOCCUIPIED AM REPL SET ENERGY SAVINGS PERIOD RECOVERY FROM ENERGY SAVINGS COMFORT PERIOD TIME THE THERMOSTAT USES THE SAME SCHEME TO RETURN GRADUALLY TO LOWER COMFORT TEMPERATURE DURING THE COOLING SEASON. M467A s This thermostat is actually a small but powerful computer. When calculating the exact time to turn on your furnace or air conditioner, it considers (1) air temperature, (2) the temperature of the wall and (3) when you want the comfort temperature established. 3 s During Programmed Recovery the thermostat increases the control temperature gradually and turns the equipment on and off several times to save energy by avoiding "overshooting" the comfort temperature. You can see the current control temperature anytime during recovery by pressing the PRESENT SETTING key. On some models, both the SYSTEM and ENRG SAV lights may be lit at the same time during recovery. This "smart" control learns from experience. Each day it checks how closely it "hit the target" and adjusts the recovery start time accordingly. It typically takes four to eight days after installation for this thermostat to adjust to the weather, your life style, home construction and heating/cooling system. The thermostat calculates the LEAVE/RETURN recovery separately from the SLEEP/WAKE recovery. s s With this thermostat you can choose whether you want to use Programmed Recovery or conventional recovery. Use Programmed Recovery if you want to choose the exact time that the room reaches your comfort temperature. Use conventional recovery if you prefer to choose the exact time your furnace or air conditioner comes on to start recovery. 4 RECOVERY SETTING RECOVERY SELECTION ADAPTIVE INTELLIGENT TM CONVENTIONAL 3A IN (FACTORY SETTING) OUT 1/2 TO 1 TURN Your thermostat includes a screw on the back marked "3A", allowing for the Programmed Recovery/conventional recovery choice. Your thermostat was shipped from the factory with the screw positioned for Programmed Recovery. Your installer may have left the screw in this position, or may have changed it to conventional recovery. Before programming, you must know for which recovery method your thermostat has been set. 3A · With Programmed Recovery, the dwelling will reach the comfort temperature at the exact time you have programmed into the thermostat. See pages 1-4 for detailed explanation of Programmed Recovery. M2120C · With conventional recovery, the programmed time will mark the start of recovery; therefore, you should program the start time to be earlier than the desired comfort time. It may require some trial and error to arrive at the best starting time, and the best starting time will vary as the seasons change. 5 To determine which type of recovery is set into your thermostat, make sure thermostat is powered with fresh batteries, or is mounted and powered on the wall (see page 32). RUN PROGRAM AM Press key. Check thermostat display. MON WAKE INDICATES THERMOSTAT IS SET FOR CONVENTIONAL RECOVERY · If the s shows in the lower right-hand corner (see illustration), the thermostat is set for conventional recovery. If you would rather have Programmed Recovery, remove thermostat from wallplate, turn screw 3A (on back of thermostat) clockwise until it bottoms. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. · If the s does not show, the thermostat is set for Programmed Recovery. If you would rather have conventional recovery, remove thermostat from wallplate, turn screw 3A (on back of thermostat) out 1/2 to 1 turn. RECOVERY SETTING 6 PROGRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT STEP 1 SET THE CURRENT DAY AND TIME You can program this thermostat either on the wall or in your hand. SEE PAGE 31 TO FIND OUT HOW TO REMOVE THE THERMOSTAT FROM THE WALL. Always press the keys with your fingertip or similar blunt tool. Sharp instruments like a pen or pencil point can damage the keyboard. NOTE: Check the glossary, page 35, for definitions of unfamiliar words. SET PRESENT DAY/TIME Press and release. The display shows 1:00 PM Mon. Press and hold until the current day appears in the display. Press and hold until the current time appears in the display. Be sure AM or PM appears as desired. You have programmed the current day and time. Go on to Step 2. PM MON DAY PM TUE AHEAD BACK PM TUE 7 IMPORTANT Before you begin STEP 2, determine if your thermostat is set for Programmed Recovery or conventional recovery. See pages 5-6. If set for Programmed Recovery, program the times for when you want your home comfortable. The thermostat will decide how early to begin the temperature changes. If set for conventional recovery, program the times earlier, allowing your home to reach the comfort temperature by the time you get home or wake up. Some trial and error may be required to arrive at the best starting times. The schedule form on page 39 provides an opportunity to plan your schedule. STEP 2 SET THE PROGRAM SCHEDULE AND HEATING TEMPERATURES Start by programming the WAKE time and temperature for weekdays. The thermostat requires a program for WAKE. You can program LEAVE, RETURN and SLEEP or not, as you please. WAKE Press and release. Note that the display shows WAKE and the preprogrammed time and temperature.
