DESCRIPTION
This White-Rodgers Automatic Setback
Digital Thermostat uses microcomputer
technology to provide precise time and
temperature control. This thermostat offers
the flexibility to design heating and cooling
programs that fit building needs. This
thermostat is adaptable to most 24 volt
residential forced air heat pump systems with
electric or fossil fuel auxiliary.

PRECAUTIONS
This thermostat is intended for use with a
low voltage system. Do not use on a line
voltage system.
WARNING
!
CAUTION
!
Do not short out terminals on gas valve
or primary control to test. Short or
incorrect wiring will damage thermostat
and could cause personal injury and/or
property damage.
To prevent electrical shock and/or
equipment damage, disconnect electric
power to system at main fuse or circuit
breaker box until installation is
complete.
Do not exceed ratings shown in the Specifi-
cations section, above. If in doubt about the
electrical ratings of your heating/cooling
system, have it inspected by a qualified
heating and air conditioning contractor or
licensed electrician.
Do not use on circuits exceeding
specified voltage. Higher voltage will
damage thermostat and could cause
shock or fire hazard.
NOTE
Read all instructions thoroughly before
beginning installation.
All wiring must conform to local and
national electrical codes and ordinances.
Thermostat installation and all compo-
nents of the system shall conform to
Class II circuits per the NEC code.
This control is a precision instrument, and
should be handled carefully. Rough handling
or distorting components could cause the
control to malfunction.

HEAT PUMP TERMINAL OUTPUTS
Use the terminal output information below to
help you wire the thermostat properly for
your heat pump system type. After wiring,
see CONFIGURATION section for proper
thermostat configuration.
Refer to equipment manufacturers’ instruc-
tions for specific system wiring information.
This thermostat is designed to operate a
single-transformer system. If you have a two-
transformer system, cut and tape off one
transformer. If transformer safety circuits
are in only one of the systems, remove the
transformer of the system with NO safety
circuits. If required, replace remaining
transformer with a 75VA Class II transformer.
After disconnecting one transformer, the two
commons must be jumpered together.
You can configure the thermostat for use
with the following heat pump system types:
HEAT PUMP TYPE 1. Single-stage
compressor system; gas or electric backup.
HEAT PUMP TYPE 2. Multi-stage or two-
compressor system; gas or electric backup.
HEAT PUMP TYPE 3. System requiring
separate signals for heat (W1, W2, W3) and
cool (Y1); gas or electric backup.

E2/P SWITCH

The E2/P switch is located on the back of the
thermostat body (see fig. 2). This switch
controls how the E2/P terminal of the
thermostat will be energized. When the
switch is in the E2 position (down), the E2/P
terminal will be energized only when in
emergency heat. When the switch is in the P
position (up), the E2/P terminal will always
be energized except when in emergency heat.
Consult the equipment manufacturer or a
qualified heating/cooling service person
before setting this switch. If your system has
no connection to E2/P, no change in the
switch setting is required.

PROGRAMMABLE COOL FAN-OFF

(Installer table steps 6 and 7.) These items
allow a selection of 0 to 127 seconds of fan-
off delay after the thermostat has satisfied the
call for cool, or a fan-on delay of 1 to 30
seconds on a call for cool (or heat pump
compressor activation).
compressor off if the auxiliary is on for more
than one minute, to prevent compressor head
pressure from getting too high. To use this
feature instead of a kit, select PUMP OFF.
DISABLING AUTOMATIC
CHANGEOVER MODE.
(Installer table step 12). This thermostat, as
configured at the factory, provides automatic
changeover, which allows the thermostat to
switch between heating and cooling to
maintain temperature. In this configuration,
when you press the SYSTEM button, the
thermostat will go through HEAT-EMER-
OFF-COOL-AUTO. Select HEAT-EMER-
OFF-COOL to disable the automatic
changeover feature.
COMPRESSOR LOCKOUT.
(Installer table step 10). This thermostat is
capable of protecting the system against
premature compressor failure by “locking
out” the compressor for at least five minutes
after each cycle. When the thermostat is in
compressor lockout, the word COOL will
flash on the display. With heat pump
systems, the word HEAT will flash if the
lockout occurs during a heat cycle. During
this period, the compressor will not be
energized.
The fan-off delay allows the fan to continue
running after the compressor has shut off.
This distributes the cool air that would
otherwise stay trapped in the air conditioning
coils through the ducts. Ideally the timing
would be set so the fan shuts off just as the
cool air is exhausted. If this timing is set too
long the fan may begin blowing warm air
before it shuts off. Shortening the fan-off
delay will prevent this.
OPTIONAL REMOTE TEMPERA-
TURE SENSE.
(Installer table steps 13 through 15). Up to
three remote sensors (part # F145-1328) can
be attached to this thermostat to sense indoor
temperature at locations away from the
thermostat. Each sensor may be located as
far as 200 feet away from the thermostat.
This is an excellent feature if the thermostat
is in a poor location for sensing temperature
or if you want to install the thermostat in a
separate room to prevent tampering. (Refer
to the installation instructions included with
the remote sensor for proper installation and
wiring.) After installing and connecting the
remote sensor(s) to the thermostat, use these
menu items to enable each remote indoor
temperature sensor (A, b and/or C). Note that
if SENSOR A, b or C are set to ON in the
menu, but no sensor is installed, or if the
sensor is not functioning, when you exit the
menu, CHECK STAT SYSTEM will be
displayed. To correct this, check for proper
remote sensor installation and wiring. If
necessary, return to the menu and be sure that
the remote sensor items are set correctly.
A short delay to allow the A-coil to cool
off (or warm up in heat pump) before the
fan turns on may be preferred. This also
allows the compressor and the fan to come
on at slightly different times, which allows
full power to the compressor on start up.
Recommended setting for fan-on delay is
10 seconds or less. A system that does not
have a high head pressure cutout should
have a delay of 10 seconds or less.
If the system has short-cycle protection, this
item should not need to be enabled. How-
ever, if your system does not have short-
cycle protection, turn COMP LOCK ON.
This will protect the compressor from short-
cycling and potential premature compressor
failure.
Note that COMP LOCK OFF permanently
disables compressor lockout. If you need to
temporarily disable compressor lockout,
please see Lockout Bypass Option.
PROGRAMMABLE HEAT FAN-OFF
DELAY.
Lockout Bypass Option
(Installer table step 8.) This item allows a
selection of 0 to 127 seconds of fan-off delay
after the thermostat has satisfied the call for
heat when ELECT HEAT FAN is selected
ON and system is in Emergency mode.
FOR QUALIFIED SERVICE TECH-
NICIANS’ USE ONLY.
HOMEOWNERS SHOULD NOT USE
THIS FEATURE DUE TO POSSIBIL-
ITY OF EQUIPMENT OR PROP-
ERTY DAMAGE, OR PERSONAL
INJURY.
The fan-off delay allows the fan to continue
running after the burner, heating element,
etc. has shut off. This distributes the heat that
would otherwise stay trapped in the ducts.
Ideally the timing would be set so the fan
shuts off just as the warm air is exhausted. If
this timing is set too long the fan may begin
blowing cool air before it shuts off. Shorten-
ing the fan-off delay will prevent this.

This thermostat can also display outdoor

With the optional X-10 Telephone Responder
(Model TR551, Radio Shack catalog RSU#
10037778) and Universal Low Voltage
Module (UM506, Radio Shack catalog RSU#
10037752) installed, you can make a
telephone call to run your program if the
thermostat has been set to Hold or Vacation
Hold. Figure 3 shows typical wiring
connections for installing the X-10 equip-
ment. The switch on the Universal Low
Voltage module must be set to the “Momen-
tary” position.
When operating with remote sensor(s), the
thermostat will calculate an average of the
sensed temperatures in all enabled sensor
locations (A, B, C and/or L), then display the
average temperature as the room tempera-
ture. During programming, you can also
assign each enabled sensor different
priorities during different program periods.
This allows the system to maintain a
comfortable environment by giving higher
priority to occupied locations. At the same
time, efficient system operation is enhanced
by giving lower priority to unoccupied
locations. For detailed instructions on this
feature, see the Operating Instructions.
This option must be enabled on the User
menu (see Operating Instructions).
