SET POINT BUTTONS — The UP ARROW and DOWN  
ARROW buttons will raise or lower the current desired tem-  
perature set point. If the thermostat is in the AUTO or Program  
mode, pressing the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW button  
will adjust both the heating and cooling set points. Pressing the  
UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW button in Cooling mode  
will adjust only the cooling set points. Pressing the UP AR-  
ROW or DOWN ARROW buttons in Heating mode will ad-  
just only the heating set points.  
OVERRIDE BUTTON — The Override button is used to  
force the thermostat from Unoccupied mode into the Occu-  
pied 1 mode comfort settings. The Override period will be set  
at 30 minutes. The thermostat will then return to the program  
for that time period. To increase the amount of time in Override  
mode, press the Override button again. Thirty minutes of over-  
ride time will be added for each time the Override button is  
pressed, up to a maximum of 4 hours. After the 4-hour limit  
has been reached, press the Override button again to cancel  
Override mode.  
GENERAL  
Carrier’s 7-day, commercial, programmable thermostats are  
flat, wall-mounted, low-voltage thermostats which maintain  
room temperature by controlling the operation of an HVAC  
(
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system. Separate  
heating and cooling set points and auto-changeover capability  
allow occupied and unoccupied programming schedules for  
energy savings.  
All thermostats allow up to 3 occupied and one unoccupied  
time/temperature settings to be programmed per 24-hour peri-  
od. Each thermostat stores programs for 7 independent days.  
Batteries are not required. During power interruption the inter-  
nal NEVERLOST™ memory stores programmed schedules  
for an unlimited amount of time.  
IMPORTANT: The thermostat has a configurable  
security level. If certain functions are not available  
While in Override mode, the Override icon and the Occu-  
pied 1 icon will be displayed on the thermostat. The time of  
day and the minutes remaining in Override mode will alternate  
on the thermostat display.  
The set points are adjustable with the UP ARROW and  
DOWN ARROW keys during Override mode.  
(
changing set points, changing programming sched-  
ules), the thermostat security level may be config-  
ured to exclude those functions. Call the installer to  
reconfigure the security level.  
CONFIGURATION  
NOTE: If the thermostat is in Occupied mode and the Override  
button is pressed, the thermostat will go into Unoccupied mode  
immediately. The thermostat will remain in Unoccupied mode  
until the next Occupied start time.

Program Thermostat Schedules — Before pro-  
gramming the thermostat, plan the thermostat daily schedule.  
The schedule is divided into 7 days (Monday through Sunday).  
Each day has from 2 to 4 time periods (Occupied 1, Occu-  
pied 2, Occupied 3, Unoccupied) depending on the configura-  
tion of the thermostat. Each occupied time period has a start  
time, stop time, heating set point, and cooling set point. The un-  
occupied time period has a heating set point and a cooling set  
point. The unoccupied time period is active whenever an occu-  
pied time period is not active. Fill in Table 1 as an aid to pro-  
gramming the daily schedules.

OPERATION  
Holiday Mode — When the thermostat is in Holiday  
mode, the thermostat will operate under Unoccupied set points.  
To configure and activate the Holiday mode, press the Mode  
and UP ARROW buttons simultaneously to enter Program-  
ming mode. Press the Override button to enter Holiday Pro-  
gramming mode. The ‘‘HOL’’ icon will be displayed along  
with the remaining days of Holiday mode operation. Press the  
UP or DOWN ARROWS to select the number of days that the  
holiday schedule will be in effect. A value of 0 disables Holi-  
day mode. The duration can be set from 1 to 99 days. The ther-  
mostat will enter Holiday mode on midnight of the next day  
after the mode has been activated. Holiday mode will remain in  
effect until midnight of the last configured day.  
If the Holiday mode is in effect, the number of days remain-  
ing will blink on and off and the ‘‘Unoccupied’’ icon will be  
displayed. The Override button will be active during Holiday  
mode. The Dry Contact Switch is ignored.  
To turn off the Holiday mode before the remaining config-  
ured days have passed, press the Mode and UP ARROW  
buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds to enter Programming  
Mode. Press the Override button to enter Holiday Program-  
ming mode. Press the DOWN ARROW to set the number of  
days to zero. Holiday mode will be disabled.  
The Mode button selects the operating mode of the thermo-  
stat. If OFF is selected, the thermostat will not enter Heating or  
Cooling mode. If HEAT is selected, the thermostat will only  
enter Heating mode (if the room temperature is below the heat-  
ing set point). If COOL is selected, the thermostat will only en-  
ter Cooling mode (if the room temperature is above the cooling  
set point). If AUTO is selected, the thermostat will enter Heat-  
ing or Cooling mode based on the room temperature and the  
heating and cooling set points. If PROGRAM ON is selected,  
the thermostat will operate as in the AUTO mode and the  
stored schedule is enabled. The thermostat will follow the  
Occupied and Unoccupied schedules stored in its memory.  
Auto-Changeover — When the thermostat mode is set  
to AUTO, the thermostat will provide automatic changeover  
from Heating to Cooling mode and Cooling to Heating mode  
when required. The thermostat will automatically switch to  
maintain the desired temperature setting. The thermostat does  
not need to be manually changed from heating to cooling or  
cooling to heating operation.  
Two-Stage Operation — The second stage of heat or  
cool is turned on when the first stage has been on for a mini-  
mum of 2 minutes and the temperature differential from the set  
point is equal to or greater than the set point plus the deadband  
plus 2 degrees.  
Dry Contact Switch (33CS250-FS Only) — A dry  
contact switch is provided to allow an external device to force  
the thermostat into Occupied 1 mode. When the thermostat is  
forced into Occupied 1 mode via the dry contact closure, the  
Occupied 1 icon will blink each second.  
SOFT START — When multiple thermostats are controlled  
by the same external device, a Soft Start option can be used to  
stagger the turn on times of the HVAC equipment. This feature  
may cause a delay in operation after entering Occupied 1  
mode.  
Clock Backup — In the event of a power loss, the ther-  
mostat will keep time for a minimum of 48 hours without  
external power or batteries.  
Fan Operation — If Fan On is selected, the fan will run  
continuously during occupied schedules (except when Mode is  
switched to OFF). The fan will be off during the unoccupied  
schedule except during heating or cooling operation.  
Remote Temperature Sensor (33CS250-FS  
Only) — A remote temperature sensor is available to read  
the temperature from a space. If a remote temperature sensor is  
connected and the thermostat is configured to use a remote  
temperature sensor, then the thermostat will ignore the reading  
of its internal sensor and control to the reading of the remote  
temperature sensor. When the thermostat is using a reading  
from a remote sensor, the degree symbol above the temperature  
reading will blink.  
If Fan On is not selected, the fan will only operate during  
heating or cooling operation.  
Emergency Heat — Emergency heat is available for  
heat pump applications. To turn on emergency heat, press and  
hold the Override button. While holding the Override button,  
press the UP ARROW button. An ‘‘EH’’ will be displayed.  
During emergency heat, the fan will operate and the second  
stage of heat will be energized (locking out the first stage com-  
pressor). To exit emergency heat, press and hold the Override  
button. While holding the Override button, press the UP  
ARROW button. During emergency heat, only OFF and HEAT  
modes are available.  
NOTE: This feature is configured by the installer.  
 Outside Temperature Sensor (33CS250-FS  
Only) — An optional outside temperature sensor may be pro-  
vided to sense outdoor-air temperature. Press and hold the  
Mode button for 5 seconds to display outdoor-air temperature.  
The “outside” temperature annunciator will be displayed. Press  
the Mode button again to exit the Outside Temperature display.  
Electric Heat — When the Electric Heat option in the  
advanced set up is set to ON (configured by installer), the  
thermostat will turn on the fan immediately any time there is a  
heat demand. This feature should only be used on electric heat-  
ing applications. Do not use with gas heat.
