What is an event?
An event is a programming period. This could be the period in the morning when you are preparing for work or school. It could be the
period when no one is at home. It could be the period when the household is asleep at night.
The time for an event is selected based on when you want the event to occur. For example, if you wake up at 6:30 AM, set the first
event for 6:30 AM. The thermostat will automatically make sure that your home is at the desired temperature selected for that event
by the time you wake.
This thermostat can be set for 2 or 4 events.
Two events should be selected if someone is home all day thereby requiring a constant temperature during the day and a different
temperature at night.
Four events are the most common for working households. Event 1 (WAKE) is the morning period. Event 2 (DAY) is when everybody
has left for school or work. Event 3 (EVE) is the return period, coming home from school or work. Event 4 (NIGHT) is the night period
when everybody is asleep.
How do I know what program is right for me?
®
The thermostat is factory set with the US EPA ENERGYSTAR recommended times and temperatures for optimal energy savings. You
can change these to suit your lifestyle.
The best rule is to examine your schedule and set the times and temperatures that best fit. This thermostat is so versatile, you can
easily change temperatures or programs at a whim.

What is the difference between Basic and Precision modes?
In the Basic mode, the humidifier will turn on only with a call for heat. If there is a need for dehumidifica-
tion, this will occur only with a call for cooling.
DEHUMIDIFY MODE
OFF
HUMIDITROL
In the Precision mode, if the conditioned space requires humidification, the system will circulate air and
turn on the humidifier to add moisture to the air regardless of whether there is a call for heat. If the condi-
tioned space requires dehumidification, the air conditioner will turn on to reduce the humidity level to the
desired setpoint regardless of whether there is a call for cooling.
SELECT

During dehumidification, it is possible to over-cool the conditioned space by up to 2°F to achieve desired
humidity levels.

What happens if the mode is set to OFF?
The humidification and dehumidification are turned off. The thermostat will simply control to the
temperature setpoint.
What is the difference between Basic and Basic/DP
(same as Precision and Precision/DP)?
The DP stands for Dew Point. If the remote outdoor sensor (Part #46M98) is connected and Basic/DP or
Precision/DP is selected, the thermostat will automatically optimize the indoor humidity level based on the
desired indoor temperature and outdoor temperature. In Dew Point mode,the humidify control level
(described on the previous page) is ignored.

The Dew Point Adjustment can be set from -15% to +15%. These settings allow you to customize the
Dew Point setting for your home. Some homes may require an adjustment to help maintain comfort. If you
notice condensation on your windows, set the adjustment lower, between -15% to -5%. If your home feels
dry, set the adjustment upwards, between +5 to +15%.

DIFFERENTIAL SETTING
DIFFERENTIAL SETTINGS
The temperature differential is your comfort level. The differential is the difference from setpoint
before your heating or cooling system will turn on. The 81M27 and 81M28 models also have 2nd
stage differential. In the Heat mode, if the temperature falls below (or above for cooling) the set-
point by the 1st stage differential plus the 2nd stage differential, the second stage of heating (or
cooling) will turn on.

plus the second stage differential.

When would I need to change the INSTALLER settings?
NEVER! The INSTALLER SETTINGS are selected based on the type of equipment you have in your home. This feature should be set

There is a security lock on this feature to prevent tampering. USE IT!

How does Energy Efficient Recovery™ (EER™) work?
Energy Efficient Recovery™ is an energy saving feature. During a set back period (or set up in cooling), it allows the thermostat to
look up to two hours ahead to determine when to turn on the heating (cooling) system. During this time period, the second stage is
locked out until 20 minutes before the next programmed event to allow the first (and most efficient stage) to bring your home to the
desired temperature.
How does my remote outdoor sensor work?
The remote outdoor sensor (Part #46M98) can be used to aid in the comfort of your home or simply as a sensing device to inquire
about outdoor conditions. In most applications, the thermostat will have a display of the temperature sensed by the remote outdoor
sensor. With your heat pump system, the remote outdoor sensor can help determine when to turn on the second stage of heating for
optimal comfort.
Where should I install a remote outdoor sensor?
The remote outdoor sensor should be installed on the northern wall of your home, away from direct sunlight or other heat sources that
may affect its sensitivity.
NOTE: Use twisted pair wire (84X49) for the installation of the outdoor sensor.
What do the lights below the display mean?
The lights indicate different operations of the HVAC equipment.
With a call for heating or cooling, the HEAT or COOL light will be illuminated on the 81M26 and 81M27.
The AUX light indicates the second (backup) stage of heating. This is used only on the 81M28 model.
The CHECK light is used on all models. It indicates the equipment should be serviced by a qualified technician.
The EMER light indicates that the emergency heat is enabled in the HEAT/COOL menu (regardless of heat demand). This light is used
only on the 81M28 model.

What should I do if my power goes out?
Make sure your family is safe and don’t worry about the thermostat. Your thermostat automatically retains the time of day for approxi-
mately two hours in the event of a power outage. All other programmed parameters are stored permanently in memory. So, if your
power is out for more than two hours, simply reset the clock. See page 4.
How do I reset the thermostat program to factory conditions?
To reset the thermostat to factory conditions, press the UP button and the LEFT button at the same time. Hold for 8 seconds. The time
of day will display 12:00 indicating a reset has occurred.
NOTE: This will erase all programming and return the thermostat to the factory conditions (including the installer settings) along
with erasing current security codes. Use this only as a last resort.
How do I know if the heating or cooling is on?
The display of the thermostat will indicate the operating mode, HEAT or COOL. When the temperature in your home decreases or
increases, the heating or cooling cycle will come on based on the displayed mode. Also, lights along the bottom crease of the thermo-
stat will indicate various equipment operations.
Who do I contact for more information?

My energy bills are too high. Is there anything I can do?
While we can’t do anything about the high cost of energy, we can try to use less energy and thereby lower our heating and
cooling costs.
®
Generally, the best way to do this is to use the EPA ENERGYSTAR recommended setpoints for heating and cooling.
®
ENERGYSTAR Setpoints
Winter
(Heating)
Summer
(Cooling)
Morning 70°F (21°C) 78°F (25°C)
Day 62°F (17°C) 85°F (29°C)
Evening 70°F (21°C) 78°F (25°C)
Night 62°F (17°C) 82°F (28°C)
Another way to contain costs is to cycle the heat pump or air conditioner with moderation. The thermostat controls the cycle rate
based on temperature differentials. By maintaining a reasonable differential setting, 1°F for 1st stage and 2°F for 2nd stage,
your furnace will cycle with moderation.
Finally, using the remote outdoor sensor coupled with the balance point feature (see INSTALLER SETTINGS, page 22) will
allow your furnace to cycle to the most efficient stage for your heating or cooling needs.
