There are several items that can be configured at the time of installation. These items have a check box (..) for your installer to indicate which features are used in your system. As an EPA ENERGY STAR Partner, Home Automation, Inc. has determined that this thermostat meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. MAINTENANCE Your new thermostat is maintenance free. There is no battery to install or replace. If necessary, clean unit carefully with a mild soap solution on a soft cloth. 1 ABOUT HEAT PUMPS... A heat pump is a mechanical refrigeration system that operates in two modes, heating and cooling. In cooling mode, the heat pump takes indoor heat and pumps it outside, just like a standard air conditioner. In heating mode, the process is reversed: the heat pump takes outside heat and pumps it inside. Although it feels cold outside, the air still has heat in it that the heat pump can use as a source of heat. The fact that the heat pump moves heat from one place to the other (as opposed to creating heat directly from electricity or gas) is the key to it's remarkable efficiency. A heat pump usually produces over 3 times more heat per watt of electricity than standard electric heating. While some heat pumps use outside air as their source of heat, others use the heat available under the ground or in a water well. These are called air-source, ground-source, or water-source heat pumps, respectively. The RC-100 is capable of controlling all of these types of heat pumps. In extremely cold conditions, the heat pump may require assistance from another source of heat, known as "auxiliary heating". Auxiliary heating is less efficient than the heat pump, so it is best to use the heat pump instead of the auxiliary heat. For normal and most efficient operation, the RC-100 should be in HEATor AUTOmode so that it can properly control the auxiliary heat. The heat pump is used first, auxiliary heat is used only if necessary. In EMERGENCY HEAT mode, the RC-100 will turn the heat pump off and use the auxiliary heating only. This mode may be used if the heat pump has failed. 2 ENERGY EFFICIENT CONTROL Using the programmable or remote control features of your thermostat, you can save energy costs by setting back the thermostat during unoccupied times. This reduces the energy loss from indoors to outdoors. In the past, it has been said that heat pumps should not be set back because it takes more energy to re-heat the premises than to keep it at the same temperature. This is true with mechanical thermostats, because they will use the inefficient auxiliary heat to recover from the setback. This is not true with the RC-100, because it uses intelligence to ensure that recovery from setback is done using the heat pump, and not the auxiliary heat. Because the heat pump takes longer to recover, heat pumps should not be set back for periods of time less than 4 to 6 hours. The RC-100 has microprocessor intelligence that continually monitors the performance of the heat pump and uses the auxiliary heat only when necessary. If the RC-100 determines that the heat pump is able to heat at a rate of 5 degrees per hour or better, the auxiliary heat will not be used. If the heat pump is unable to heat at this rate, the RC-100 will use the auxiliary heat to supplement that of the...
