Thank you for choosing the PECO

 Performance PRO

 T4900 School Series

 thermostat.  

The T4900 provides comfort conditioning for educational environments, reducing energy 

consumption and the bottom line. One-touch simplicity means users simply push the 

“Teacher” key to apply an energy-effi cient School Schedule. The T4900 supports up to 

3-HEAT/ 2-COOL confi gurations in conventional and heat pump applications. Users can 

choose between two modes in which to operate the T4900: as a standard Performance 

PRO or as a School Series. 
The Performance PRO T4900 School Series is comprised of the T4932SCH-001 

programmable  and the T4932SCH-002 programmable thermostat with humidifi cation/

dehumidifi cation control. T4900 School Series standard features include: 4 square inches 

of blue backlit display; Secure Digital (SD) card interface; locking cover; auto-changeover; 

School Schedule; inputs for occupancy/ remote sensors; three levels of keypad lockout 

and PIN access; furnace and UV fi lter reminders; Heat/Cool Demand Indicator; a 365-day 

calendar, 20 holidays; Power Harvesting (a.k.a. “power stealing”); and humidity control 

(T4932SCH-002 only). 

The T4900 Series can be powered by 24 VAC or batteries or both (recommended). The 

T4900 Series can control up to 7 outputs and monitor three external sensors (including a 

CO

2

 sensor). The T4900 Series mounts on any PECO Performance PRO Series common 

wallplate.
