Schedule

Zone 1

To provide greater energy savings, you can operate the
thermostat on a programmable schedule. The schedule is
stored in memory and is not affected by loss of power to the
thermostat. A single thermostat zone or multiple devices
on the network can be assigned to follow the schedule of
one thermostat. On the 546, separate schedules can be
followed for heating and for cooling.

Zone Schedule

A zone schedule only applies to the thermostat on which
the schedule is programmed. The thermostat follows the
zone schedule and the events are not communicated to
other thermostats.

Master Schedule

If the thermostat is connected to other thermostats, then the
thermostat can operate on a master schedule. You can set
up a maximum of four master schedules on the tN4 network.
A master schedule is available to all devices on the tN4
network. Master schedules simplify installation since one
master schedule may be used by multiple devices.

To create a master schedule:

1. Assign a thermostat as a schedule master by setting the

Heat Schedule or Cool Schedule item in the Schedule
menu to Master (MST) 1 to 4.

Once a thermostat is the master schedule, a clock symbol
and number appear on the display in the View menu. The
number identifies the master schedule number. This helps
you locate the master schedule if you need to change the
schedule.
You cannot have both the heating and cooling schedules
serve as the schedule master at the same time. Choose one
of the two to be the schedule master. The other schedule
can be a member of any master schedule.

Schedule Types

The schedule type determines when the schedule repeats
itself. This thermostat includes four schedule types:
•

• 24 Hour: Repeats every 24 hours.
•

• 5-2: Repeats on a weekly basis. However, it breaks the

week into the weekend and weekdays. This reduces the
amount of schedule event settings.

•

• 5-11: Repeats on a weekly basis. However, it breaks

the week into Saturday and Sunday followed by the
weekdays. This reduces the amount of schedule event
settings.

•

• 7 Day: Repeats on a weekly basis and allows for separate

event times for each day.

Schedule Mode

The schedule mode can have either 4 or 2 events per day.
An event is a time at which the thermostat changes the set
temperature. The event time can be set to the nearest 10
minutes. If you wish to have the thermostat skip the event,
enter “--:--“ as the time. The “--:--“ time is found between
11:50 PM and 12:00 AM. See the table, Schedule Mode,
for more details regarding types of events.

To follow a master schedule

1. Assign a thermostat to follow a master schedule, by

setting the Heat Schedule or Cool Schedule menu item
in the Schedule menu to Member (MBR) 1 to 4.
