MOUNTING LOCATION: On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in place of the old one unless the conditions listed below suggest otherwise. On new installations, please follow these general guidelines: 1. Mount the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor. 2. Do not locate the thermostat where air circulation is poor such as in a corner, alcove, or behind a door that is normally left open. 3.
WIRING INFORMATION: CONNECTING THE WIRES: When attaching the wires to the thermostat, please ensure that the bare wire ends are held ALL the way into the terminal block while the screw is being tightened. WIRING BASE PLATE NOTICE: This thermostat model is part of a family of similar models that have the same general visual appearance. Even though this base plate may look the same as base plates from other models, the wiring connections may have different terminal letters for different purposes.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND SETUP OPTIONS: Setup options for how the thermostat will function, along with choosing your particular system type, are performed using a menu on the display screen. TO ACCESS THE SETUP MENU: Move the System Mode switch into the OFF position, and then hold down the EMER button for approximately 5 seconds until the screen changes. The menu will always start with item #1, and is advanced to each following item by a single press of the NEXT button.
ITEM #07 (DLAY = DELAY TIME): [5, default] Thermostat waits 5 minutes before turning the system back on after it was last run. This internal delay prevents rapid cycling and provides equipment protection. The 5 minute setting is fine for most applications. [2] Same operation as above but reduced to 2 minutes between state changes. ITEM #08 (TEMPERATURE SWING): A thermostat works by turning your heating or cooling system on and off whenever the room temperature varies from the desired set-point temperature.
TEMPERATURE PROGRAMS: By default, this thermostat has 4 separate program periods for both Heat and Cool mode, they are: MORN, DAY, EVE, and NITE. Each period ends at the start time of the following period. The heat programs are set in HEAT mode, and the cool programs are set in COOL mode. NOTE: If the thermostat is configured to use only 2 periods per day instead of 4 (SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND SETUP OPTIONS), the thermostat will only use the DAY and NITE periods.
ADVANCED FEATURES: TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION: The internal temperature sensor in this thermostat is accurately calibrated at the factory, and in most cases alterations to this setting should not be needed. The Temperature Calibration feature allows you to manually offset the measured temperature by as much as plus or minus 5F (3C) degrees from its original value. This feature can be useful to match or synchronize this thermostat to another one or more, if multiple thermostats are used in the same home.
KEYPAD LOCKOUT: You can lock the front panel buttons to prevent unauthorized tampering of your thermostat settings. NOTE: These keypad lock instructions need to be performed in a timely manner. The 4-button sequence which locks the thermostat must be entered within a 10second timeframe, or the keypad lockout sequence will have to be entered again from the beginning. TO LOCK THE KEYPAD: Start with the System Mode switch in either the HEAT or COOL positions, and the Set Slide switch in the RUN position.

But you'll find a lot more thermostat companies when you open up your search to Amazon and other online retailers. Even Lowe's and Home Depot's online stores offer a lot more than just the two dozen different Honeywell models you'll see in person.
So I grabbed five different thermostats from Honeywell, Hunter, Emerson, White-Rodgers (an Emerson brand) and Lux. All of them are available online for $30 or less and all of them have basic programming capabilities. How do you find the right model for you, then? Here are some things you need to keep in mind.
Let's face it -- basic thermostats can be really confusing. I moved earlier this year and still haven't had the patience to figure out my outdated, confusing-to-use programmable model from the early '90s. Part of this review process was selfishly driven, because I wanted to figure out if there are any affordable thermostats out there that aren't a total pain.
That's due in large part to the buttons available on classic thermostat displays. A lot of brands double up on buttons so that a single "Set" or "Program" button performs multiple functions. It isn't all that difficult once you figure it out, but it might require reading a user manual.
In the $30 or less price range, I found two types of programmable thermostats: 5-2 and 5-1-1. 5-2 programs give you control over two different program periods -- weekdays and weekends. That means you can set one program for Monday through Friday and another program for Saturday and Sunday.
This is a fine option if you stick to a regular weekend schedule, but 5-1-1 programmable thermostats give you more options. Specifically, they let you program Saturday and Sunday separately. That way, you can have three different program periods instead of just two.
While all of the models I tested have digital displays, they don't always display the same information. The Honeywell RTHL2310B and the Hunter 44157 only show the current time and temperature, so you have to press the up arrow button to see your set temperature. That isn't especially intuitive, so I had to pull up the user manuals to figure it out.
Other thermostats, like the Emerson 1F78-151 and the White-Rodgers P200, alternate the information displayed on the main screen. The set temperature is fixed on the right side of the screen, but the current time and current ambient temperature alternate on the left side. This is a decent workaround when the screen is too small to show every detail at once, but I found the alternating information a little annoying.
In the end, it's pretty simple to find a good programmable thermostat on a budget. And if you don't like what you see in your local stores, widen your search to online retailers and you're sure to find something that suits your needs. 2ff7e9595c
