2. Remove the front cover from your old thermostat. Most will
simply pull straight off, while others may be fastened by screws.
3. Take note of the letters printed near each of the wire terminals.
Attach adhesive labels (enclosed) to each wire for identification by
their terminal letter, not the color of the wire.
4. Make sure the wires do not fall back inside the wall. Remove and
label each wire one at a time, and do not allow the wires to touch
each other or any parts of the thermostat.
The MODE switch has 4 positions: EMER, HEAT, OFF, and COOL. In
the summer, set the switch to COOL to control cooling. In the
winter, set the mode switch to HEAT to control heating; set the mode
switch to EMER to control auxiliary heating only (if equipped). In
the EMER position, the heat pump compressor is disabled. When set
to OFF mode, the heating and cooling system will remain off.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read all instructions carefully before beginning installation
and save for future reference. Before removing any wiring from
your existing thermostat, the wires must be labeled with their
terminal designations. Ignore the color of the wires since they
may not comply with any standard.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT:
NOTE: If you are mounting the base to a soft material like
plasterboard, or if you are using the old mounting holes, the
screws may not hold. Drill a 3/16-in (4.8mm) hole at each
screw location, and insert the plastic anchors provided.
While in HEAT, COOL, or EMER modes, a single press on either the
UP or DOWN button causes the word “SET” to appear on the screen,
and the set temperature value on the screen to start flashing. When
flashing, the set temperature can be altered by pressing either the
UP or DOWN button once per degree of change, or by holding either
button for at least two seconds to automatically increment the set
temperature quickly in the associated direction.
Thank you for your confidence in our product. You should become
fully acquainted with this thermostat before installing it for usage.
Follow the installation procedures carefully, and one step at a time.
This will save you time and minimize the chance of damaging either
the thermostat or the systems that it controls. These instructions
may contain information beyond that required for your particular
installation. Please save these instructions for future reference.
4. Route the wires through the large hole adjacent to the terminal
block, and hold the base plate against the wall. Position the base
for best appearance, and to hide any marks from an old
thermostat. Attach the base to the wall with the two screws
provided.
Based upon the relationship of the set temperature to the displayed
ambient room temperature, the thermostat will engage the first stage
of either heating or cooling, if a temperature demand is present.
WIRING INFORMATION
If there is a large thermal demand present which is greater than the
first stage of heating can accommodate, then a second stage of
heating (W2) will be activated, showing the word “AUX” on the
display screen. There is approximately a 4-minute delay that is
imposed between the activation of the first stage of heating, and the
second stage of heating.
COMPATIBILITY
• The DHP2120 thermostat can be used with most 24 volt: single-
stage heat pumps, and 2 heat / 1 cool heat pump systems.
** Complete heating or cooling system wiring can be found in the
WIRE IDENTIFICATION AND WIRING SCHEMATICS section of this
instruction sheet. The schematics show system components for
brand new installations or for un-referenced wires.
• This thermostat cannot be used to control: conventional heating
and cooling systems, 3-wire zone valves, or 120/240 volt (line
voltage) heating or cooling systems. Ask your dealer for other
LUX® thermostats to control those systems.
CONNECTING THE WIRES:
DISPLAY ILLUMINATION:

black clamp and the brass terminal as shown here.
6. Securely tighten all electrical terminal screws
(even unused ones).
FEATURES
MINIMUM RUN/OFF TIME:
Quick & Easy
Temperature
Change
This is determined by the thermostat, and controls the minimum
length of time that the thermostat must remain with Heat or Cool
either On or Off, before it will automatically switch to the alternate
On or Off state. This feature prevents rapid or short cycling, and
also provides compressor protection. The duration of this delay is
fixed at 5 minutes between on or off load changes.
SETUP OPTIONS
If batteries are presently installed, remove them from the thermostat
before proceeding with changing any of the options listed below. A
table similar to this one shown here is printed on the thermostat's
circuit board.

There are two independent set temperature stops: a maximum heat
set temperature, and a minimum cool set temperature. Each of these
temperature stops is user adjustable in one-degree increments. The
heat temperature stop prevents the set temperature from being
adjusted higher than the heat temperature stop value. The cool
temperature stop prevents the set temperature from being adjusted
lower than the cool temperature stop value.

the mode switch from either OFF to HEAT (to adjust the maximum
heat set temperature), or from OFF to COOL (to adjust the minimum
cool set temperature). “Ht Lim” or “Cl Lim” will be displayed on the
LCD screen while you are setting the heat or cool limits respectively.
While in the adjustment mode for each of the temperature stops, use
the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the limit value, just as you
would for adjusting the set temperature under normal operation.
JUMPER SETTINGS:
There are 2 option jumpers located inside the thermostat on the
circuit board. These settings can be changed from their default
values by removing its corresponding black shorting cap and
installing the cap so that it is positioned on the adjacent pair of
metal pins. A change to either of the option jumpers will not be
recognized unless the thermostat has been without battery power for
at least 2 minutes, and then power is restored again. Each of these
jumpers changes a different setup option. The choices for these
options are listed in a table printed on the circuit board, and are also
printed adjacent to each individual setting jumper.
