Example of using the 4500 in Cool mode:
Local Premises Thermostat is set to 70 degrees. Set-back temperature is set to 80 degrees. Once the system is armed
away and the temperature in the house is 70 degrees the 4500 relay will open (terminals 4 and 7 will read the open)
to disconnect the local premises thermostat from the HVAC. Once the house temperature reaches 80+ degrees (set-
back temperature) it will close the relay to connect the local premises thermostat back to the HVAC. This will allow
the HVAC to cool the house back to 80- degrees. (+/- Degrees depends on the swinger that was set)
NOTE: It may take at least 5 minutes for the air conditioner to turn on from the time it turns off. This feature is
present in the 4500 to protect the air conditioner compressor from excessive cycling.
Example of using the 4500 in Heat mode:
Local Premises Thermostat is set to 70 degrees. Set-back temperature is set to 60 degrees. Once the system is armed
away and the temperature in the house is 70 degrees the 4500 relay will open (terminals 8 and 3 will read the open)
to disconnect the the local premises thermostat from the HVAC. Once the house temperature reaches 60- degrees
(set-back temperature) it will close the relay to connect the local premises thermostat back to the HVAC. This will
allow the HVAC to heat the house back to 60+ degrees. (+/- Degrees depends on the swinger that was set)
Setting the 4500 Thermostat:
To enter and use the 4286 thermostat programming mode:
1.
There must be at least one thermostat programmed into the system by way of the 4286 installer
programming mode entry.
2.
Obtain phone access from the phone module. Enter the 2-digit phone code. Enter the 4-digit system code if
prompted.
3.
Press # 99 on the phone keypad after the complete status announcement.
4.
The 4286 will announce:
“Thermostat Mode.”
The temperature setting for thermostat #1 will follow. You
can change its set point using menu selection 1 below. If thermostat #1 is in BYPASS or CHECK, that
status will be announced instead of the set point. The 4286 will also announce whether set-back has been
turned off by the user.
Menu Selections:
“To change temperature, enter 1.”
This selection is used to set the armed away set-back temperature for
thermostats #1 or #2 (This menu selection will
NOT
be announced if the thermostat is in “
CHECK
or
BYPASSED
”)
To allow the user to change the
ARMED AWAY
set-back temperature settings, the 4286 will announce
the present setting in effect, and wait for a new 2-digit temperature setting to be entered. If the current
temperature setting is acceptable to the user, the user may press the * key to advance without changing the
setting.
If the number entered is outside the allowed range (45° to 99° F., 07° to 37° C), a buzzer will sound from
the phone, and the temperature setting repeated. This will continue until the number entered is within the
allowable range.
If the 4500 thermostat is
BYPASSED
, the user must switch the
ACTIVE/BYPASS
slide switch on the
4500 thermostat front panel to the
ACTIVE
position, which will then allow access through the 4286
thermostat menus.
“For set-back on/off, enter 3.”
Turning off set-back will result in it remaining disabled while armed away, until the
next time the system is disarmed.
This feature allows the user to turn off the set-back before returning home, so that the premises will have
time to return to a comfortable at-home temperature. It also allows the user to turn off set-back before
leaving home, when they plan to be away only a short time. The user can also turn the setback on again
with this menu selection if they have a change of plans.
“To log on, enter 2
.”
(This selection is announced if more than one thermostat has been programmed into the
system). It allows the user to select thermostat #1 or #2 for setting. The user can set the 4500 thermostat just selected
with the
“to change temperature, enter 1”
menu selection.
“To exit, enter 0.”
(This selection exits the thermostat
mode).
