3. After releasing the button, “HOLD” on the display will blink.
4. Use or to set the temperature to your preference. The thermostat will maintain this temperature setting
for 3 hours with “HOLD” blinking to remind you it is in Temporary Hold. After 3 hours the thermostat will go
back to the program temperature and “HOLD” will no longer blink or display.
2. Select FA or SL (Fast or Slow) Heating Cycle RateThe FA setting is frequently used for gas, oil or electric
heat. The SL setting produces a longer heating cycle which is normally for hot water or steam (hydronic) sys-
tems. Both settings produce very accurate temperature control and can be set to your personal preference. FA
cycles the system just under 1°F and the SL setting cycles at approximately 1.5°F.
3. Select backlit display – The display backlight improves display contrast in low lighting conditions. Selecting
backlight ON will keep the light on for a short period of time after any key is pressed. Selecting OFF will keep the
light off.
4. Select Energy Management Recovery OFF or ON – Energy Management Recovery (EMR) causes the
thermostat to start heating or cooling early to make the building temperature reach the program setpoint at the
time you specify. Heating will start 5 minutes early for every 1° of temperature required to reach setpoint.
Example:
You select EMR and have your heating programmed to 65° at night and 70° at 7 AM. If the building temperature
is 65° the difference between 65° and 70° is 5°. Allowing 5 minutes per degree the thermostat setpoint will
change to 70° at 6:35 AM. Cooling allows more time per degree because it takes longer to reach temperature.
