Set System Time: 

 

This setting adjusts the system clock's time.  While setting the time the Plus button increments the hour and the 

Minus button increments the minute.   

 

Sensor Type: 

This setting selects which type of sensor will be used.  The Temperature option is used for the included 

temperature sensor and the Temp & Humidity option is used for the optional humidity probe. 

 

Relay Information: 

This menu will show the number of cycles the main power relay and the number of cycles of the safety have 

gone through.  Relay contacts degrade over time and this information is similar to an odometer on a car.  

Higher wattage use will degrade relay contacts more quickly.  This data will not indicate when replacement is 

necessary and is for information purposes only.

 

 

Output Setup for Temperature Control

 

 

From the initial menu screen select the output configuration using the Plus and Minus button and press Enter.  

The arrows indicate if there are additional menu choices to toggle through.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Output Mode: (Heat, Cooling,  RH Sensed) 

N

ote: When the Mode is changed all settings for the selected output will be set to the defaults. 

The default 

sensor type is the included temperature sensor for heating / cooling modes and the optional humidity sensor for 

the RH mode)

 

 

Heat mode is for standard thermostat heating operation.   

 

The Cooling mode applies power when the set temperature is 

exceeded.  

The Cooling mode then powers off the 

output when the temp drops below the Swing setting.   

 

Daytime Temperature:   

The Day

time Temperature setting is the temperature the device will try 

to maintain during the Day Cycle.  If the 

Nite Cycle is disabled then the Day

time Temperature setting will be used for the full 24hrs.   

 

NiteCycle Menu: 

Enter this menu to adjust settings if a different temperature is required during the night. 

 

IMPORTANT:  This device uses a software based clock.  

Instead of a hardware based clock chip this 

devices uses a software based clock.  This works the same as most alarm clocks by counting the pulses on your 

households electrical line which is regulated by your power company.  In most cases this provides a very stable 

method of keeping time.  However, when power is disconnected the thermostat will not continue to keep track 

of time.  On power up the device reverts to the Day Temp and the Nite Cycle options 

are disabled until the 

system clock is set.  This method allows the cost to remain low while still providing some additional advanced 

features which would not be otherwise possible.
