ADVANCED FEATURES  
SPECIAL PROGRAM  
The hardware reset is a push button that is located on the right edge of the circuit board,  
just above the battery location. This reset button is used by the thermostat to reset the  
unit’s clock, and read the position of all of the option switches. When any of the  
following items are changed, the hardware reset button must be pushed for the change to  
be recognized. User temperature programs are not erased when a hardware reset is  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
When activated, the Special Program operates in much the same manor as the normal  
Weekday, Saturday, or Sunday program routines do, however the Special Program  
activation is temporary. The Special Program period times and temperatures can all be set  
to different values to accommodate a wide variety of usage circumstances that may occur,  
such as: home for a couple holiday days during the week, a vacation cut short, and so on.  
This feature eliminates the need to temporarily alter the settings for the existing Weekday,  
Saturday, or Sunday programming periods that will continue to be used most of the time.  
To activate the Special Program, press and hold down the HOLD button for a minimum of  
2 seconds. When the Special Program is active, the words SPECIAL PROGRAM will be  
present in the upper left corner of the screen, and the clock will alternate with the Days  
Left value. Initially, upon activation, you can set the number of days that the Special  
Program will be controlling the set temperature. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to change the  
Days Left number to a value between 01 and 99 days. 01 Days Left is the default setting.  
If a selection is not made, the value of 01 days will be used.

COMPATIBILITY  
SWING SETTING  
A thermostat works by turning your heating or cooling system on and off whenever the  
room temperature varies from the set-point temperature. The amount of this variation is  
called the “swing.” Your system should cycle on about 3 to 6 times per hour. A smaller  
swing number increases the number of cycles per hour, so the room temperature is more  
precise and constant. A larger swing number decreases the number of cycles per hour,  
but saves energy in most cases. To change the Swing setting, turn the dial to RUN mode.  
Hold down the NEXT button and push the HOLD button once, then let go of both. The  
words SWING and SET will appear on the screen with a number. Use the UP/DOWN  
buttons to change the number value between 1 and 9. Number 1 is the default setting.  
Press the NEXT button to accept the setting and return to normal Run mode.  
This thermostat can be used with most single stage 24 volt: gas, oil or electric heating  
and/or cooling systems, single stage heat pumps, or gas Millivolt heating systems. It  
cannot be used with 3-wire zone valves, 120 volt heating systems, or multi-stage heat  
pumps. Ask your dealer for other LUX thermostats to control those systems.

[5] EARLY RECOVERY  
Your thermostat has the ability to turn the Heating and Cooling in your home on early, so  
that it reaches your programmed “comfort” temperatures at the time you have set them  
for. For instance, if you have programmed your thermostat for 70° at 5:00pm, normally  
the thermostat would begin to heat your home back up at 5:00pm. With Early Recovery  
enabled, the thermostat will calculate the best time to turn the heat on so that the  
temperature in your home reaches 70° at or by 5:00pm. During the time that the  
thermostat is performing a recovery, the words “IN RECOVERY” will flash in the  
temperature portion of the display screen. Switch position OFF is Recovery Disabled, and

LOCATION  
On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in place of the old one unless the  
conditions listed below suggest otherwise. On new installations, follow the guidelines  
listed below.  
PROGRAMMING  
1. Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor, and in a  
room that is used often.  
2. Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as in a corner or an alcove, or behind  
an open door.  
3. Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as: in direct sunlight;  
near a lamp, television, radiator, register, or fireplace; near hot water pipes in a wall; near  
a stove on the other side of a wall.  
4. Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as: on a wall separating an unheated  
room; or in a draft from a stairwell, door, or window.  
5. Do not locate in a damp area. This can lead to corrosion that may shorten thermostat  
life.  
6. If painting or construction work has yet to be completed, cover the unit completely or  
do not install it.  
MODE SWITCHES  
For all of the programming areas that are described below, this thermostat provides four  
independent periods per day for Heat mode and Cool mode, they are: MORN, DAY, EVE,  
and NITE. Each period ends at the start time of the following period. The programs for  
each Temperature mode are programmed separately. When you perform a Software Reset,  
an Energy Star® approved program is inserted into all of the program periods. You can  
use these default programs or alter any portion of them to suit your own preferences.  
When setting the program items, the value that is flashing is the item that you can change  
at that time.  
There are two mode switches on the front, a Temperature mode switch and a Fan mode  
switch. The Temperature mode switch has three positions: HEAT, OFF, and COOL. In the  
winter, set the system switch to HEAT to control your heating system. In the summer, set  
the switch to COOL to control your air conditioner. In the spring and fall or when the  
windows are open, you can set the switch OFF. The Fan mode switch has two positions,  
AUTO and ON. Setting the Fan mode switch to AUTO, automatically runs your system's  
blower fan as required only during heating and cooling activation. Setting the Fan mode  
switch to ON, runs your system’s fan continuously, even if heating or cooling is not  
needed, including when the Temperature mode switch is in the OFF position to provide air  
circulation only.  
SET WEEKDAY PROGRAM  
Select either HEAT or COOL with the Temperature mode switch. Rotate the dial to  
WEEKDAY PROGRAM. You will be programming all five weekdays at the same time. The  
first period is MORN. Using the UP and DOWN buttons, set the start time for this period,  
and then push the NEXT button to proceed. Now set the desired set temperature for the  
MORN period using the UP and DOWN buttons, and push NEXT to proceed. Now set the  
start time and set temperature for the DAY period, pushing NEXT after each to advance.  
Continue with these same steps to set the start time and set temperature for the EVE, and  
NITE program periods. When you are finished setting all four periods, you may continue  
pushing the NEXT button through all four periods to review your entries, or turn the dial  
to RUN if you are finished. These same programming steps for all four periods must be  
performed in both Heat and Cool Temperature modes independently.  
NOTE:  
WARNING:  
The Fan mode switch only works if your system provides a wire for the thermostat’s “G”  
wire terminal.  
Read instructions carefully before removing any wires from your existing  
thermostat.  
Do not short (jumper) across the electric terminals on the furnace or air conditioner  
to test the system. This may damage the thermostat and void your warranty.  
This thermostat should be limited to 1.5 amps per terminal, and a maximum of 2  
amps total; higher current than this may cause damage to the thermostat.  
All wiring must conform to the local codes and ordinances that are in your particular

SET SUNDAY PROGRAM  
3. Write down the letters printed near each wire terminal that is used, and  
the color of the wire that is connected to it. Using the enclosed labels,  
attach a label to each of your wires so that the letter matches the marking  
on your existing thermostat.  
Turn the dial to SUNDAY PROGRAM. You will begin with the start time of the MORN  
period, and use the same procedures that were performed while setting the Weekday  
Program periods, using the NEXT button to advance through the values. Return the dial to  
the RUN position when you are finished.  
4. When they are all labeled, carefully remove the wires one at a time, making sure that  
they do not fall back inside the wall. Do not allow any of the bare wire ends to touch each  
other, or any parts on the thermostat.  
HEATING AND COOLING  
SET SPECIAL PROGRAM  
Basic operation of your heating or cooling system can be obtained by ensuring that the  
rotary dial is in the RUN position, and simply moving the Temperature mode switch to  
either the HEAT or COOL position. Prior to being set initially with your custom
