DELUXE PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT The Deluxe Programmable Thermostat is actually a small but powerful computer. When calculating the time to turn on your heating or cooling system, it considers (1) air temperature, (2) wall temperature, and (3) the time you want the comfort temperature established. • During the Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™ time, the thermostat increases the temperature setpoint from the energy savings to the comfort temperature. The equipment may shut off before reaching the comfort temperature to avoid going past the comfort temperature. This saves energy by avoiding cycling the equipment and overshooting the comfort temperature. The thermostat displays Recovery whenever the thermostat activates the Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™ feature. Recovery AM System Em Heat Fan Mon Room Sleep Heat Auto M14561 • This thermostat learns from experience. Each day it checks how closely it hit the recovery target and adjusts the next day recovery start time accordingly. • It typically takes four to eight days after installation for the thermostat to adjust to the local weather, your lifestyle, the construction of your home and your heating/ cooling system. The thermostat calculates the Leave/Return recovery separately from the Sleep/Wake recovery. • With the thermostat, you can choose whether you want to use the Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™ setting or the conventional recovery. The thermostat comes preset to the Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™ setting. When conventional recovery is desired, call your service technician for assistance. Use the Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™ setting when you want to choose the exact time that the room reaches your comfort temperature. Use conventional recovery when you prefer to choose the exact time your heating or cooling system comes on to start recovery. 69-1400-1 16
