Page 16: Hardware Setup Options
HARDWARE SETUP OPTIONS: On the thermostat’s circuit board, there is a row of DIP switches, labeled #1 through #8. The position of these switches will change how the thermostat operates, and also how information is conveyed to you on the LCD display screen. - Page 17 SWITCH #3 (PERIODS): [OFF/DOWN = 4, default] The thermostat uses four temperature program periods in both heating and cooling (MORN, DAY, EVE, and NITE). Each period has a separate start time and a set temperature. [ON/UP = 2] The thermostat operates in the same manner as above, however there are only two temperature program periods for heating and cooling (DAY and NITE).

Page 23: Advanced Features
ADVANCED FEATURES: TEMPERATURE SWING AND OFFSET SETTING: A thermostat works by turning your heating or cooling system on and off whenever the room temperature varies from the desired set-point temperature. The amount of this variation is called the swing. Generally your system should cycle on about 3 to 6 times per hour. - Page 24 Cut-In / Cut-Out Stage) 70˚F Set Temperature Swing Setting= #2 (+/- 0.5˚F) Offset ** Setting= 4˚F degrees Stage) ** Cut-In / Cut-Out DEGREES (F) ** = Only applies if a second heat stage is present...
- Page 25 TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION: The internal temperature sensor in this thermostat is accurately calibrated at the factory, and in most cases alterations to this setting should not be needed. The Temperature Calibration feature allows you to manually offset the measured temperature by as much as plus or minus 5°F (3°C) degrees from its original value. This feature can be useful to match or synchronize this thermostat to another one or more, if multiple thermostats are used in the same home.
