TEMPERATURE SWING

A thermostat works by turning your heating or cooling system on and off whenever the room

temperature varies a certain number of degrees from the set-point temperature. This variation is the

“swing.” Your system should cycle on about 3 to 6 times per hour. A smaller swing number increases

the number of cycles, so room temperature is more constant. A larger swing number decreases the

number of cycles, to save energy in most cases.

installations, follow the guidelines listed below.

1. Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor, and in a room that is

used often.

2. Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as: in direct

sunlight; near a lamp, radio, television, radiator, register, or fireplace; near hot water pipes in a wall;

near a stove on the other side of a wall.

3. Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as: on a wall separating an unheated room; or in

a draft from a stairwell, door, or window.

Your thermostat has the capability to turn the HEAT and AIR CONDITIONING ON in your home so that it

reaches your desired comfort temperature at the time you have programmed. For instance, if you have pro-

grammed your thermostat for 70° at 5:00pm, normally the thermostat will begin to heat your home at 5:00pm.

With SMART RECOVERY on, the thermostat will calculate the best time to turn the heat on so that the temper-

ature in your home reaches 70° by 5:00pm. It calculates the amount of time through experience and will get

more accurate as time goes by. To enable SMART RECOVERY, remove J4 on the back of the thermostat. Press

the small reset button on the front of the thermostat. IN RECOVERY will appear in the display when this feature

is bringing your home to temperature.

The Unit is protected against normal static

electric discharges. However, in extremely

dry weather you should touch another

metal object before the Unit to avoid

potential loss of programs.

5. Place body back on the wall. Hook the

bottom of the body onto the base, swing the body up,

and snap the body onto the base.

Be careful not to drop the body or disturb electronic parts.

Leave the cover closed while the body is being removed from the base.

Installation is now complete. Be sure to turn the power

back on to your heating and /or air conditioning system. If this is the first time you are installing batteries,

the thermostat will display “SUN 12:00 AM”. Within 90 seconds the thermostat will begin to display the

room temperature alternately with the time. To correct the display, see “Setting the TIME and DAY,” after

you set the programs.

WARRANTY

Limited Warranty: If this unit fails because of defects in materials or workmanship within three years of date

of original purchase, LUX will, at its option, repair or replace it. This warranty does not cover damage by acci-

dent, misuse, or failure to follow installation instructions. Implied warranties are limited in duration to three

years from date of original purchase. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty

lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Please return malfunctioning or defective units to the par-

ticipating retailer from which purchase was made, along with proof of purchase. Please refer to "TECHNICAL

ASSISTANCE" before returning thermostat. Purchaser assumes all risks and liability for incidental and conse-

quential damage resulting from installation and use of this unit. Some states do not allow the exclusion of

incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you

specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. Applicable in the

ANCHORS

The set point temperature will appear in the right side of the display. In the winter, set the system switch

to HEAT to control your heating system. In the summer, set the switch to COOL to control your air

conditioner. In spring and fall or when windows are open, you can set the system switch OFF.

Attaching Wires

4. Hold the base against the wall, with the wires coming through wherever it

is convenient for wiring. Route the wires to below the terminal block.

Position the base for best appearance (to hide any marks from an old

thermostat). An optional wall plate is included for covering old mounting

holes. Attach the base to the wall with the two screws provided.

Setting the FAN switch to AUTO automatically

runs your system’s fan during heating and cooling.

Setting the FAN switch to ON runs your system’s

fan continuously even without heating or cooling.

The FAN switch works only if your system

provides a wire for the Unit’s “G” terminal.
