“What are the buttons inside my thermostat for?”

Referring to Figure 7, the SW4 INSTALL button located at the

bottom center of the printed circuit board is used to put the

thermostat in the Install/Remove mode. The SW9 LINK button

located at the bottom far left of the circuit board and PB1 REMOVE

button above and to the right of SW9 are also used when installing or

removing an RCN from the thermostat. See the section entitled

INSTALLING AND REMOVING NODES. In many cases your

thermostat has come from the factory already linked to the control

node or a trained technician performed the linking procedure when

the T9000 was firsts installed. If you accidentally press the SW4

button and put the thermostat into the install mode, simply press it

again to put the thermostat back in normal operation. SW9 is only

used during installation. Pressing SW9 when not in the installation

mode has no effect. PB1 is only used when removing nodes that

have previously been linked to the thermostat.

(NOTE: Refer to the INSTALLING AND REMOVING NODES

section of this manual for detailed instructions. If you need

assistance installing or removing an RCN, contact your distributor

or call ENERNET Corporation for technical support.)

“I see solar cells on the T9000; does it need light to operate?”

When not reading temperature or communicating with an RCN, the

T9000 thermostat consumes very little power. Under some lighting

conditions, it will run off of the solar cells, even further extending

the lifetime of the batteries. While it’s a bad idea to let it get direct

sunlight, or be too close to a lamp, a well-lighted space is beneficial

to battery life.

“When my a/c turns off, I can’t immediately make it run again?”

This is normal. What you are experiencing is called an anti short-

cycle delay. Because of high pressure in the system, it’s not a good

idea to start your air conditioner immediately after it has just shut

down. The T9000 automatically prevents this from happening by

imposing a delay of approximately 3-minutes.
