The display will flash "REPL BAT" when the batteries get low. Unless the display is blank (indicating the batteries are dead) when you start, you won't have to reprogram the thermostat if you can insert the new batteries within 20-30 seconds of taking out the old ones. To replace: n Set the system switch to OFF. n Remove the thermostat from the wall. See page 27. n Lift the batteries out of the holder. n n n Insert the new batteries, making sure the positive (+) terminals all face toward the right. Replace the thermostat on the wall. See page 28. Reprogram, if necessary. 29 POWER OUTAGES Reasonably fresh backup batteries will hold the programming and keep the display on during most power outages. Once the power is restored, the system will resume normal operation. If the display goes off when power is lost, either the backup batteries need to be replaced or are not installed. When power is restored, the display will flash 1:00 PM to remind you to reprogram. 30 AUX HT light (heat pump models only) - This light glows whenever the thermostat is callina for ooeration of the backup fieater.' Backup (auxiliary) heat is more expensive to operate than the heat pump and typically is used only when the heat pump is unable to handle the load. C$Klight (heat pump models Consult your heat pump equipment literature to determine whether this light is used and its meaning. Comfort temperature The temperature you want when you're active and occupying the building. EM HT light (beat pump models only) This light glows whenever the thermostat system switch is in the EM HT~ position. Energy-saving temperature The lower (heating) or higher (cooling) temperature that lets you save on heating and cooling costs when you're asleep or away. Also called the setback (heating) or setup (cooling) temperature. Preprogrammed schedule This is the schedule programmed into your thermostat at the factory. It sets a night program that provides energy savings if you don't set your own program, or if your personal pro- gram is lost for any reason. The program, which is the same for all days of the week, is: slan TemperabJre Time Period &¶Ii"g CoDring MORNING co0 AM 70'F 78OF M,DW,, NO p,,Jgmm _____........ svss,no . . . . . . NO program N I G H T 10.00PM 60OF 78-F Program The times and temperatures you set to define the comfort and energy savings periods for each day's schedule. Recovery The time when the thermostat operates the heating or air conditioning equipment to return the house from the energy savings temperature to the comfort 31 temperature. The thermostat starts the recovery period early so the house will be at the comfoh;o;;ng by the time you've Setback Reducing the temperature in the house for a set period every day in winter for energy savings. The lower temperature is the energy savings temperature. Setup Raising the temperature in the house for a set period every day in summer for energy savings. The higher temperature is the energy savings temperature. Set point The thermostat temperature setting you select. The thermostat turns the heating or cooling equipment on and off to maintain this temperature at the thermo- stat location until another temperature setting (set point) goes into effect. SYSTEM light This light glows whenever the thermostat is calling for heating or air conditioning. Time period One of four program periods: MORNING, MIDDAY, EVENING, and NIGHT; available with the Chronotherm Ill thermostat. One period begins when the previous program period ends. MORNING-The time period when'you bring the building to a comfortable temperature to begin the day. This is the only period that must contain a time and temperature for every day. MIDDAY-The time period when you can set back (win- ter) or up (summer) the temperature for daytime energy savings if.the building is unoccupied. EVENING-The time period when you want the building at a comfortable temperature for evening activities after daytime energy savings. NIGHT-The time period when you can set back (winter) or up (summer) the temperature for energy savings because family members are asleep or the building is unoccupied. Often a NIGHT energy savings temperature is set only for the heating season so family members can sleep cool in summer. You can use the table below to plan your schedule before you begin programming. If you choose not to program a daytime energy savings program, leave the MIDDAY and EVENING periods blank. After you have written in your schedule, mark the days that have identical programs. 34 THERMOSTATS FOR GAS, OIL, OR ELECTRIC HEAT SYSTEMS These thermostats vary in the switching configurations they provide.
