Operating the Thermostat
60 ViewStat Communicating Thermostat
–
Setting temperatures
Press the Up or Down adjust button. The setting to be changed will begin to flash. Press and hold the button
to change the setting.
If operating in the HEAT mode, the only temperature set point available to change is the Heat
setting. When the room temperature drops below this setting the heat will come on (call for
heating) to raise the temperature. EM. HEAT mode uses the HEAT setting.
If operating in the COOL mode, the only temperature set point available to change is the COOL
setting. When the room temperature rises above this setting the Cooling will come on (call for
cooling) to lower the temperature.
If operating in AUTO (HEAT or COOL) mode, the first press of the Up or Down adjust button will
indicate which of the two temperature settings will be adjusted – it will be the one flashing.
If this is not the desired temperature to adjust, press the Mode button to access the other
temperature setting.
Fan operation
The thermostat can operate the fan either continually (FAN ON), or only during Heating and Cooling calls.
Press the Fan button to toggle between these two options. FAN ON is recommended for media/electronic air
cleaners, ventilating equipment, and to allow for humidification in mild climates.
Backlight operation
Operation of the backlight is configured in the Thermostat Set-Up. Depending on the set-up, the backlight will
light at the press of any button, or it can be disabled (see theBacklighting Set-Up section on page 42). The
backlight will stay on for 10 seconds after the last press of a button.
Network override
If the Network Override has not been disabled in the Thermostat Set-Up, the Network Override can be
initiated by pressing the Enter button. When initiated, the thermostat is taken offline from the automation
system. The thermostat can then only be operated at the thermostat. Pressing the Enter button again will
restore network communication.
Clearing a temporary flashing message
Custom Home Automation systems have the ability to send a temporary message to the message display. This
message will flash until the user acknowledges the message. To acknowledge message press the Enter button.
In Case Of Power Failure
This thermostat does not require a battery. If the power goes out, the screen is blank. During the period the
power is off, the heating/cooling system will not operate. When power is restored, the thermostat will return to
the previous settings. The thermostat is equipped with a continuous memory feature which does not require a
battery.
Cleaning the Thermostat
If the surface of the thermostat becomes dirty it can be cleaned with plain water or with a non-abrasive
household cleaner, including glass cleaner. When using any cleaner be careful not to get any into the interior of
the thermostat. Do not spray any liquid directly onto the thermostat. Spray the cleaner onto a soft cloth and
wipe the surface of the thermostat.
Do not set the thermostat to OFF mode during periods when freezing temperatures
could occur.
