White Rodgers 1F90 71 Thermostat User Manual

About Your New Thermostat . . .

Your new White-Rodgers Digital Thermostat uses the technology of a solid-state microcomputer

to provide precise time/temperature control. This thermostat offers you the flexibility to design

heating and cooling programs that fit your needs.

Please read this manual thoroughly before operating or programming your thermostat. If you have

questions, write to us at the address shown on the back cover of this manual.

pins on the lower section of the thermostat back

with the matching connector on the subbase.

Insert these, then gently pivot the thermostat

body up to connect the six pin connectors on the

upper portion of the thermostat back. Gently

push until the snap connectors engage. DO

NOT FORCE OR PRY THE THERMOSTAT, as

this may damage the unit.

Your thermostat consists of two parts: the

thermostat body and the subbase.

CAUTION

Remove power from the system at the

circuit breaker/fuse box before remov-

ing or attaching the thermostat body.

Equipment damage and/or personal in-

jury could occur.

If the word BATTERY is flashing in the

display window, the batteries are low and

should be replaced with fresh “AA” Ener-

gizer^®alkaline batteries.

PARTS OF THE THERMOSTAT

The Back of The Thermostat Body

Turn the thermostat body over. On the back are

the 3 “AA” Energizer^®alkaline batteries and the

two option switch groups (A and B).

CAUTION

1. The “AA” Energizer^®alkaline batteries pro-

vide power to the thermostat when the

24 VAC power is interrupted (for example,

when you remove the thermostat from the

wall for programming). Fresh batteries

will maintain the stored program for ap-

proximately a year. If power loss is long

enough for the program to be lost, the

thermostat will automatically return to the

factory programmed temperatures (64°F

heating and 82°F cooling) when power is

restored. You must reprogram the thermo-

stat if this happens.

you have programmed a temperature of

70°F. The thermostat will automatically ac-

tivate the heating system at about 5:00 AM,

so that the programmed 70°F temperature

is reached by about 6:00 AM.

OPERATING FEATURES

Now that you are familiar with the thermostat

display and buttons, read the following informa-

tion to learn about the many features of the

thermostat.

• COMPUTED ENERGY MANAGEMENT

RECOVERY (EMR) — The thermostat’s

microcomputer can be set to automatically

calculate the time it will take to change the

temperature to the next program setting.

Then the thermostat will activate the heat-

ing or cooling system to change the tem-

perature so that the desired temperature is

reached at the beginning of the next pro-

gram period. As an example of this feature,

assume that you have programmed your

thermostat to provide an overnight heating

temperature of 62°F, and that during the

This feature is controlled by Group B option

switch #3. To enable the EMR function, first

you must move option switch #3 (located on

the back of the thermostat body) to the OFF

position, if it has not already been done. To

dothis, turnoff24VACpowertothethermo-

stat. Thenremovethethermostatbodyfrom

thewall.Checkthepositionofswitch#3(the

last switch on the right). If it is OFF (down),

simply put the thermostat back on the wall

and restore 24 VAC power. If the switch is

switch to the OFF position (see figure be-

low). Leavethebatteryoutofthethermostat

option switch #1 should be OFF and option

switch #2 should be ON.) To enable auto-

matic changeover, you must move Group B

option switch #1 to the ON position and

switch #2 to the OFF position. Turn off 24

VAC power to the thermostat. Then remove

the thermostat body from the wall. Check

the position of Group B option switches #1

and #2 (the first two switches on the left). If

they are in the correct positions, simply put

the thermostat back on the wall and restore

24 VAC power. If the switches are not cor-

rectly positioned, remove the battery, then

use a pencil or small screwdriver to move

the switches to the correct positions (see

figure on next page). Leave the battery out

of the thermostat for at least two minutes,

to allow the thermostat to reset itself. Re-

place the battery, reprogram the thermo-

ERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT.

During periods of low humidity (especially

during cold weather), you may feel or see a

spark discharge when you touch the ther-

mostat. This may cause the program to be

lost or the thermostat to display incorrectly.

To correct this, remove the thermostat from 7. Why won’t the setpoint temperature go

about one minute, then reconnect the bat-

to the temperature I want?

In the AUTO mode, the highest heating

setpoint temperature you select must be at

least 1°F lower than the lowest cooling

setpoint temperature you select (for ex-

ample, if 70°F is your lowest selected cool-

ing temperature, you cannot select a heat-

ing temperature any higher than 68°F). If

such a conflict exists, you must set the

lowest cooling temperature higher in order

to set the heating temperature higher. To

set a lower cooling temperature, you must

select a lower heating temperature. See

than letting the air dissipate.

You have programmed the incorrect day
