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).
When a programmable schedule is selected, there is a time delay for the room to
warm up or cool down from the temperature to the temperature. The thermostat
has the option to use Optimum Start to predict the heat up or cool down rate of
the room. When Optimum Start is set to On, the heating or cooling is started in
advance to allow the room to reach the Set Room temperature at the time set in
the programmable schedule.
