About the 4500 Thermostat

The Ademco 4500 thermostat provides control for both heat and air

conditioning. It is intended for use with Ademco security systems

that include the enhanced 4286 phone module. You can set the 4500

thermostat using any Touch-tone phone, either on premises or

remotely. The 4500 thermostat is not a replacement for the existing

thermostat, which remains in the installation, but can be selected to

provide a “set-back” function whenever the system is in the ARMED

AWAY mode. The existing thermostat controls premises temperature

while the security system is DISARMED, or in ARMED STAY mode.

Saving Money on Energy Bills

An important benefit of combined climate control and security is

potential energy cost savings. During the heating season, you can

“set-back” the 4500 thermostat for times when you are away from

home by putting the security system in the ARMED AWAY mode.

Our set-back feature lets you turn down the thermostat when the

house is empty automatically, when you arm the security system in

the ARMED AWAY mode.

During the cooling season, you can set the 4500 thermostat for a

higher temperature than the existing thermostat for times when you

are away from home, to save on cooling costs by putting the security

system in the ARMED AWAY mode.

In both cases you can call home to adjust the set-back temperature

that is in effect while the system is in the armed away mode.

The 4500 Thermostat Provides Comfort and Convenience

Heat or air conditioning in vacation homes can be remotely set and

monitored by phone. For example, heat can be turned up at a ski

cabin before guests arrive. The owner can also call-in to the system to

check that the indoor temperature is being maintained while the

premises are vacant. Users can set the air conditioning by calling

home just before leaving work. Once access to the security system

has been established, the ambient temperature will automatically be

announced if the installer has programmed this function. The

following sections describe how to use the 4500 thermostat.

How the 4500 Thermostat Works With Your

Present Thermostat

The 4500 thermostat works in combination with the original

thermostat installed on the premises.

While the premises is occupied, the security system is usually armed

STAY or DISARMED, and the 4500 thermostat will be inactive. The

original thermostat can be used as usual to set and adjust your

premises temperature.

When controlling a heating system, the set-back temperature setting

of the 4500 thermostat must always be set to a lower temperature

than the original thermostat. This way, the 4500 thermostat will

turn down the heat when the security system is ARMED AWAY.

Alternately, when controlling an air conditioning system, the set-back

temperature setting of the 4500 thermostat must always be set to a

higher temperature than the original thermostat. This way, the 4500

thermostat will allow the ambient temperature to rise when the

security system is ARMED AWAY.

If the pre-existing thermostat has a built-in clock and schedule, the

schedule can be used to set the times you “wake,” “leave,” “return,”

and “sleep.”

Note: The “leave” time should be set for the latest time that you

would expect to leave the premises. The “return” time should be set

to the earliest time you expect to arrive at the premises. If you leave

earlier or return later than scheduled times, the 4500 thermostat will

adjust the temperatures accordingly.

In summary, the 4500 thermostat allows you to:

•

Set back the temperature (to that set in the 4500 thermostat)

automatically by arming in the AWAY mode when leaving home.

Resume normal temperature (as set by the existing thermostat)

automatically by DISARMING the system when returning home.

Check the temperature by phoning in from a remote location.

Front Panel Controls

As you can see from Figure 1 below, there are two controls and one

indicator on the front panel of the 4500 thermostat:

HEAT <> COOL BYPASS <> ACTIVE

Figure 1. 4500 Thermostat Controls and Indicator

HEAT/COOL Switch

This switch is used to set the control mode of the 4500 thermostat.

The mode can be set to either HEAT or COOL. This is the same as

found on most thermostats. For premises that only have heat or air

conditioning but not both, the proper mode should be selected with

this switch, and the setting should not be changed.

ACTIVE/BYPASS Switch

This switch is used to activate and deactivate the 4500 thermostat.

When this switch is set to the ACTIVE mode, the 4500 thermostat is

able to set back the room temperature when the security system is

ARMED AWAY. BYPASS is used to bypass the 4500 thermostat.

When bypassed, the 4500 thermostat cannot change the room

temperature.

•

To use fan alone on your thermostat, put the 4500 in the BYPASS position.

You will not be able to adjust room temperature by phone when the 4500

thermostat front panel switch is in BYPASS position.

Front Panel Controls (cont’d)

There are several uses for the BYPASS switch function:

•

Allows the user to go back to their original thermostat at any

time.

Allows heating/air conditioning service people to bypass the 4500

thermostat during servicing and maintenance work.

Allows switching back to the original thermostat if the security system is

not working or is being serviced.

3. ACTIVE/ BYPASS Controls Indicator

This yellow LED indicator shows the status of the 4500 thermostat.

•

When the ACTIVE/BYPASS switch is in the ACTIVE position, the

LED will be steadily on.

•

When in BYPASS, the LED will be steadily off.

If there is a problem with the wiring to the 4500 thermostat, the LED will flash,

and you should call your alarm installation or service company for service.

Product Specifications:

Operating Range: 32° to 122° F., 0° to 50° C.

Temperature Setting Range: 45° to 99° F., 7° to 37° C.

Air Conditioner Compressor Off Cycle: 5 minutes minimum

Physical Dimensions: 6-3/16” by 2-7/8” by 1-1/4”

The 4500 measures the temperature of the surrounding air as well as the wall

that it is mounted on. It may provide a slightly different reading than a

thermometer or another thermostat mounted nearby.

This can be due to nearby sources of heat or drafts, sunlight, and varying

accuracy of existing thermostats. Unless the reading is off by more than

4° F, this should not be a cause for concern.

Controlling the 4500 Thermostat by Phone

The phone access feature of the Honeywell security system provides a

number of capabilities to the user:

•

To adjust the ARMED AWAY set back temperature of the 4500

thermostats over any phone.

To turn off the set back function for a single ARMED AWAY

period, or turn it on again if necessary.

To control two 4500 thermostats in a single installation.

A Thermostat Mode voice menu can be activated after accessing the

security system by phone.

To Enter the Thermostat Mode Menu By Phone

. Obtain access to your security system by phone according to the

instructions for phone access provided with your security system.

You will need to enter the 2-digit phone code provided by your

installer, and your 4-digit user code when you are calling from

outside, or whenever prompted by the system.

. You will now hear the announcement of the security system

status followed by the ambient room temperature (if installer

has programmed this particular option).

. Wait until the security system completes the status announce-

ments. When prompted by the system, press:

The security system phone access module will announce all words

denoted by quotation marks and italicized as follows:

•

“THERMOSTAT MODE,” followed by whether “SET-BACK” is

“ON” or “OFF”, and whether the 4500 thermostat is set for

HEAT MODE” or “COOL MODE.”

“

•

The temperature setting of the 4500 thermostat that is in effect

when the security system is ARMED AWAY.

A menu of thermostat related end-user commands will be annunciated.

The following sections: Adjusting the Set-Back Temperature of the

500 thermostat, Turning the Set-Back On and Off, Using Two

500 thermostats With Your Security System, and Exiting

Thermostat Mode explain the use of the thermostat mode commands.

Adjusting the Set-Back Temperature

of the 4500 Thermostat

Keep in mind that the on-premises existing thermostat is set to the

desired temperature for when the building is occupied. The 4500

thermostat is used to set the set-back temperature for when the

premises is unoccupied and the security system is in the ARMED

AWAY mode.

The 4500 thermostat is set from any Touch-tone phone, either on-

premises, or by calling in when away.

1. Make sure that the front panel switches on the 4500 thermostat

are set correctly.

•

The ACTIVE/BYPASS switch must be set to ACTIVE, and

The HEAT/COOL switch must be set for the desired mode of

operation.

. Enter thermostat mode as described on page 5. A menu of user

commands will be announced.

. When you hear the prompt, “To change temperature, enter 1,”

Press 1 during a pause in the thermostat mode menu

announcement.

The system will announce “Temperature set to 65,” for example.

. Next, it will announce “Enter new temperature.”

If you want to keep the present set-back temperature, 65 degrees

in this example, just press _✴

5. If you want to change the set-back temperature point, you can

then enter a new temperature:

for example.

You have now set your unoccupied premises temperature to 61

degrees. The system will then announce the change of set point.

Setting the Set-Back Temperature

of the 4500 Thermostat (cont’d)

. The new ARMED AWAY (set-back temperature) point will be

announced. This is the temperature the 4500 thermostat will

maintain when you are away from the premises. The set-back is

turned on only when the security system is ARMED AWAY.

The system will announce “Armed away temperature set to 61.”

. Next, it will repeat “Enter new temperature.”

If you want to keep the present set point, 61 degrees in this

example, just press _✴

If you make an out-of-range temperature setting, a buzzer sound

will indicate to you that you made a mistake, and you will be

prompted again to enter the desired set point.

You have now set your ARMED AWAY temperature to 61 in this

case, and the phone module will echo back the change to verify.

8. If you are all done with the settings, and now want to arm or

disarm the security system, wait for the “To exit enter zero”

menu announcement and press

. At this point, you have adjusted the set-back temperature and

the new setting has been echoed back. Your options now are:

•

to wait for the menu to be announced again in case you want to

review or change the thermostat settings.

•

to just hang up the phone.

Turning the Set-Back On and Off

The set-back feature of the 4500 thermostat works automatically

when you leave the premises and the security system is ARMED

AWAY. However, sometimes you may want to override this feature.

You can turn off the set-back at any time, while still on the premises

or off.

For example, on a very hot day, you may want the premises

temperature to be restored to the more comfortable normal settings

by the time you return home from work instead of remaining at the

more economical set-back temperature until you arrive. You would do

the following:

. Call the security system before returning home.

. Enter your 2-digit phone code and 4-digit user code as requested

by the system.

. Press to enter the Thermostat Mode Menu.

4. At the “To Turn Set-Back Off, Enter 3” prompt, press

This command temporarily deactivates the set-back function until

you return home.

5. You can exit the Thermostat Mode at this point by pressing

at the exit prompt.

. The premises cooling system will now be under the original

thermostat’s control with the premises temperature being lowered

to the more comfortable setting.

When you turn off the set-back, you are only doing so temporarily.

When you return home the thermostat mode menu resets itself

automatically so that when you again exit the premises with the

security system in the ARMED AWAY state, the premises

temperature will go to the programmed 4500 thermostat setting.

In the example above, if you change your mind and decide not to

return home early, you can turn the thermostat set-back to on again

by phone.

Using Two 4500 Thermostats with

Your Security System

If your security system includes two 4500 thermostats and you have a

multi-zone heating or air conditioning system, you can set the heat

and air conditioning at different temperatures in different parts of the

house.

In order to program the thermostats, you must obtain access to the

security system and then the Thermostat Menu Mode.

Refer to the section “To Enter the Thermostat Menu Mode” on

page 5 or perform the first three steps of the abbreviated step-by-step

procedure on page 8 and continue with this procedure.

The two thermostats in your system are named Thermostat 1 and

Thermostat 2 for programming purposes. When you first enter

Thermostat menu mode, you are hearing status for “Thermostat 1”,

and you can adjust the set point for Thermostat 1 without having to

“

LOG ON.”

If, however, you want to review or set Thermostat 2, you must first

choose the Log On menu selection.

At the “To log on, enter 2” prompt, press

. The System will

announce

“Enter thermostat number”.

Press

to select Thermostat 2.

You will hear the operating mode and set-back temperature for

Thermostat 2. Next, you can change its settings by waiting for the

thermostat menu, and

pressing

after the “To change temperature, enter 1” prompt.

You can then review and change the set-back temperature in effective

in the ARMED AWAY mode as described earlier in “Setting the 4500

thermostat” on page 5 of this manual.

When Leaving Protected Premises

for Extended Periods

We recommend that the 4500 thermostat, the original thermostat,

and the entire heating/cooling system be tested weekly, and always

before leaving the premises for extended periods of time such as

during vacation time.

We recommend that your alarm system is monitored by a central station for

system low battery and AC loss. Be sure to give your central station contact

information of someone who can access the premises in the event the system

loses AC power while you are away for an extended period of time, since a power

outage may cause the heating/cooling system to become inoperable.

If you live in an area where temperatures can be extreme, it is

important to dial into your security system periodically, as described

earlier while away, to monitor premises temperatures. Follow

procedures detailed on page 5 to hear ambient temperature status

and on page 6 for making changes to the set-back settings in the

thermostat program mode. If the heating, air conditioning, control

system, electric power, or security system fails, you can call for

service before any problems occur.

If any one of those systems fails it could result in failure of the

heating/cooling system to maintain room temperature. Failure of the

heating or cooling system could result in property damage or injury.

It is important to maintain your security and heating/cooling systems,

and to periodically test your security system and heating/cooling

system to insure proper operation.

Testing the Heating/Cooling System

To be sure the heating/cooling system is maintaining the room

temperature at the set-back point you have programmed by phone,

test the system as follows:

Be sure that the 4500 thermostat is in the ACTIVE mode using its front

panel slide switch. Refer to page 3 if in doubt.

Be sure that the ACTIVE LED turns on, and is not flashing.

•

A flashing LED indicates a problem with the wiring to the

500 thermostat).

•

A “Check Thermostat” announcement on the phone is also an

indication to call for servicing of the 4500 thermostat.

. Arm the security system in the ARMED AWAY mode and leave

the premises.

When you return home or by calling home while away, verify that the

temperature inside the premises closely matches the set-back point

initially programmed. Be sure that sufficient time has been allowed

for the premises ambient temperature to stabilize. If the 4500

thermostat is not maintaining temperature as was programmed, first

review the “ARMED AWAY” set-back point using the phone, and

then check if the pre-existing thermostat is working as described in

the next section.

If both thermostats are not working, call your heating/air conditioning

service company for servicing of your system. If only the 4500

thermostat is not working properly, immediately set its front panel

switch to BYPASS, thereby using the pre-existing thermostat to

control your heating and cooling system, and call your alarm

installation or service company for service.

Testing the Pre-Existing Thermostat

Switch the front panel ACTIVE/BYPASS switch to BYPASS, and

check that the pre-existing thermostat (not the 4500 thermostat) is

working and able to control the heating/cooling system. If the pre-

existing thermostat does not function, have it replaced, or call your

heating or air conditioning service company.

If you need service for your security system or heating/air conditioning

system:

If your security system or heating/air conditioning systems are in

need of service, set the 4500 thermostat to the BYPASS mode using

the front panel ACTIVE/BYPASS switch.

When bypassed, the 4500 thermostat is totally removed from control

of the heating and/or air conditioning systems. The

pre-existing (original) thermostat will then maintain total control of

the heating and/or air conditioning systems.

When the 4500 thermostat is bypassed, it will be easier for

heating/air conditioning service personnel to service those systems

including their respective control systems. The switch may be

restored to the ACTIVE position when the servicing is completed.
