About the 4500 Thermostat The Ademco 4500 thermostat provides control for both heat and air conditioning. It is intended for use with Ademco security systems that include the enhanced 4286 phone module. You can set the 4500 thermostat using any Touch-tone phone, either on premises or remotely. The 4500 thermostat is not a replacement for the existing thermostat, which remains in the installation, but can be selected to provide a “set-back” function whenever the system is in the ARMED AWAY mode.
How the 4500 Thermostat Works With Your Present Thermostat The 4500 thermostat works in combination with the original thermostat installed on the premises. While the premises is occupied, the security system is usually armed STAY or DISARMED, and the 4500 thermostat will be inactive. The original thermostat can be used as usual to set and adjust your premises temperature.
Front Panel Controls As you can see from Figure 1 below, there are two controls and one indicator on the front panel of the 4500 thermostat: HEAT <> COOL BYPASS <> ACTIVE 2 1 3 Figure 1. 4500 Thermostat Controls and Indicator 1. HEAT/COOL Switch This switch is used to set the control mode of the 4500 thermostat. The mode can be set to either HEAT or COOL. This is the same as found on most thermostats.
Front Panel Controls (cont’d) There are several uses for the BYPASS switch function: • Allows the user to go back to their original thermostat at any time. • Allows heating/air conditioning service people to bypass the 4500 thermostat during servicing and maintenance work. • Allows switching back to the original thermostat if the security system is not working or is being serviced. 3. ACTIVE/ BYPASS Controls Indicator This yellow LED indicator shows the status of the 4500 thermostat.
Controlling the 4500 Thermostat by Phone The phone access feature of the Honeywell security system provides a number of capabilities to the user: • To adjust the ARMED AWAY set back temperature of the 4500 thermostats over any phone. • To turn off the set back function for a single ARMED AWAY period, or turn it on again if necessary. • To control two 4500 thermostats in a single installation. A Thermostat Mode voice menu can be activated after accessing the security system by phone.
Adjusting the Set-Back Temperature of the 4500 Thermostat Keep in mind that the on-premises existing thermostat is set to the desired temperature for when the building is occupied. The 4500 thermostat is used to set the set-back temperature for when the premises is unoccupied and the security system is in the ARMED AWAY mode. The 4500 thermostat is set from any Touch-tone phone, either onpremises, or by calling in when away. 1.
Setting the Set-Back Temperature of the 4500 Thermostat (cont’d) 6. The new ARMED AWAY (set-back temperature) point will be announced. This is the temperature the 4500 thermostat will maintain when you are away from the premises. The set-back is turned on only when the security system is ARMED AWAY. The system will announce “Armed away temperature set to 61.” 7. Next, it will repeat “Enter new temperature.” If you want to keep the present set point, 61 degrees in this example, just press ✴ .
Turning the Set-Back On and Off The set-back feature of the 4500 thermostat works automatically when you leave the premises and the security system is ARMED AWAY. However, sometimes you may want to override this feature. You can turn off the set-back at any time, while still on the premises or off.
Using Two 4500 Thermostats with Your Security System If your security system includes two 4500 thermostats and you have a multi-zone heating or air conditioning system, you can set the heat and air conditioning at different temperatures in different parts of the house. In order to program the thermostats, you must obtain access to the security system and then the Thermostat Menu Mode.
When Leaving Protected Premises for Extended Periods We recommend that the 4500 thermostat, the original thermostat, and the entire heating/cooling system be tested weekly, and always before leaving the premises for extended periods of time such as during vacation time. We recommend that your alarm system is monitored by a central station for system low battery and AC loss.
Testing the Heating/Cooling System To be sure the heating/cooling system is maintaining the room temperature at the set-back point you have programmed by phone, test the system as follows: 1. Be sure that the 4500 thermostat is in the ACTIVE mode using its front panel slide switch. Refer to page 3 if in doubt. 2. Be sure that the ACTIVE LED turns on, and is not flashing. • A flashing LED indicates a problem with the wiring to the 4500 thermostat).
Testing the Pre-Existing Thermostat Switch the front panel ACTIVE/BYPASS switch to BYPASS, and check that the pre-existing thermostat (not the 4500 thermostat) is working and able to control the heating/cooling system. If the preexisting thermostat does not function, have it replaced, or call your heating or air conditioning service company.
