GENERAL

Carrier’s Aquazone 7-day, commercial, programmable ther-

mostats are wall-mounted, low-voltage thermostats which

maintain room temperature by controlling the operation of an

HVAC (heating, cooling and ventilation) system. Separate

heating and cooling set points and auto-changeover capability

allow occupied and unoccupied programming schedules for

energy savings.

Fig. 1 — Thermostat Display

All thermostats allow up to 3 occupied and one unoccupied

time/temperature setting to be programmed per 24-hour period.

Each thermostat stores programs for 7 independent days.

Batteries are not required. During power interruption the inter-

nal NEVERLOST™ memory stores programs for an unlimited

time.

Heat or Cool Indicator — A Heat or Cool indicator is

located on the bottom left cover of the thermostat. See Fig. 2.

The light will be red if the thermostat is in Heating mode. The

light will be green if the thermostat is in Cooling mode.

IMPORTANT: The thermostat has a configurable security

level. If certain functions are not available (changing set

points, changing programming schedules), the thermostat

security level may be configured to exclude those func-

tions. Call the installer to reconfigure the security level.

Thermostat Front Panel Buttons — The thermostat

has buttons on the front cover which are used to raise or lower

the desired set point and override the current program. See

Fig. 2.

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 AUTO mode, pressing

the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW buttons will adjust both

the heating and cooling set points. Pressing the UP ARROW or

DOWN ARROW buttons in Cooling mode will adjust only the

cooling set points. Pressing the UP ARROW or DOWN

ARROW buttons in Heating mode will adjust only the heating

set points. The UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW buttons are

also used in Programming mode.

A light sensor is provided on the thermostat for light activa-

tion. When the sensor detects light (the space is occupied), the

thermostat will enter Occupied 1 mode. If the room is dark, the

thermostat will follow its programmed schedule.

Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.
