This thermostat can operate on a programmable schedule in order to automatically
lower the room temperature setting. The schedule can be off or on.
The thermostat can support schedules that have either:
2 events per day
4 events per day
Schedules with four events per day are common for residential use while two
events per day are common for commercial installations.
The schedules can be repeated every:
24 hours
7 days (week)
A 7 day schedule allows a unique time to be set to change the temperature for
each day of the week.
The schedule also includes a “SKIP” option that allows the programmable
schedule to skip a temperature change and remain at the previous temperature
setting. The “SKIP” setting can be found between 11:50 PM (23:50 hours) and
12:00 AM (0:00 hours).
