Away mode

The Away mode can be used when you are away for an undetermined length of

time. For frost protection while saving energy, the Away temperature is set by

default at 15°C (59°F) and cannot be modified by simply pressing the Up or Down

button. To modify the Away temperature, see page 16.

NOTE: The Away mode can also be used to prevent tampering of the setpoint

temperature in the summer season when heating is not required.

To place the thermostat in Away mode:

Countdown mode

Use the Countdown mode if you wish to keep the same temperature for a predetermined

length of time. The choices of countdown times are: 15, 30, 45 min, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18 hr and 1

to 14 days. At the end of the countdown, the thermostat automatically returns to the previous

mode and uses the temperature programmed for that mode. At any time, you can cancel the

Countdown mode by pressing the Select button.

Default schedule

When placed in Automatic mode (see page 8), the thermostat follows the programmed

schedule. By default, the thermostat is programmed with the following schedule:

Monday to Friday

The schedule consists of 4 periods per day, which represents a typical work day. However, you

can program the thermostat to skip (cancel) the periods that do not apply to your situation. For

example, Leave and Return periods are skipped for the weekend in the default schedule.

You can choose a different program every day; i.e., each period can have a different starting

time and a different temperature every day.

The days can be selected collectively (Monday to Friday, Saturday & Sunday, or Monday to Sunday) or individually.

To skip a period: When the hour or the temperature of the period is flashing, press the Up and Down

buttons at the same time. (Alternatively, set its hour between 23:00 [11:00 PM] and 0:00 [12:00 AM] or

its temperature below 5°C [41°F].) Its time and temperature display will be replaced by dashes (-).

NOTE: If you do not press any button for one minute, the thermostat will automatically save any

changes you have made and will return to its normal display

Configuration parameters (cont’d)

Fan

Place at Yes if you have a fan-forced heater (to prevent premature burnout of the motor). Leave at No for

better temperature regulation if you do not have a fan-forced heater.

Away temperature

Set the temperature you wish to use when the thermostat is in Away mode (see page 10).

Daylight Saving Time

When the Daylight Saving Time function is enabled (On), the thermostat automatically switches to Daylight

Saving Time on the second Sunday of March and to normal time on the first Sunday of November.

Early Start

Early Start is used in Automatic mode only. When Early Start is enabled (On), the thermostat determines

when to start heating so the desired temperature is attained at the beginning of Wake and Return periods.

When Early Start is disabled (Off), heating starts only at the beginning of Wake and Return periods; thus

there is a delay before you reach the desired temperature.
