When occupancy is detected, thermostat will switch to occupied mode for a duration of “Incidental Occupancy Threshold” selected here.

If occupancy is detected for a period of time shorter than the “Incidental Occupancy Threshold” selected here, the thermostat will automatically revert to unoccupied mode at the end of the “Incidental Occupancy Threshold” period and continue to observe energy saving functions that were in effect before the room became occupied. This setting allows ignoring incidental room visits.

If occupancy is detected for a period of time longer than the “Incidental Occupancy Threshold” selected here, the thermostat will enter the guest occupancy mode. When the thermostat is in the guest occupancy mode, it will revert to unoccupied mode and initiate the setback temperature only when occupancy is not detected for the duration of the setback delay (Heat or Cool) period.

06 – NIGHT OCCUPANCY THRESHOLD

(00 - 60; 01* default setting) Select the minimum period of time (in minutes) for which occupancy needs to be detected in order to consider the room occupied during the “Night Occupancy” period.

When occupancy is detected during the “Night Occupancy Period” for longer than the “Night Occupancy Threshold” selected here, the thermostat will instantaneously switch to occupied mode.

If occupancy is detected for a period of time shorter than the “Night Occupancy Threshold” selected here, the thermostat will automatically revert to unoccupied mode and continue to observe energy saving functions that were in effect before the room became occupied.

If occupancy is detected for a period of time longer than the “Night Occupancy Threshold” selected here, the thermostat will disable the occupancy sensor and consider the room occupied until the end of the “Night Occupancy” period.

This feature ensures that energy saving functions that may affect guest comfort will not come in effect during the "Night Occupancy" period.

07 - FORCED 2ND STAGE HEATING

(00 - 60; 15* default setting) Select a number of minutes 1st stage heating will run before 2nd stage heating is automatically initiated if the guest set point is not reached and the 2nd stage heating is not initiated through differential settings.

Setting the “Temperature Recovery Time” to “00”, disables temperature recovery. When temperature recovery is disabled, thermostat will use the Minimum and Maximum Setback Temperatures as setback set points.

11 - RECOVERY TEMPERATURE - HEAT

(62°F - 82°F; 69°F* default setting) Select the room temperature in °F that a HVAC unit will have to attain within the selected “Temperature Recovery Time” when there is a need for heating.

12 - TEMPERATURE SETBACK DELAY - HEAT

(00 - 120; 30* default setting) Select the time delay (in minutes) for which the room that is in the guest occupancy mode needs to be unoccupied before the temperature setback is initiated.

This feature prevents initiating temperature setback prematurely while the guest is still in the room but in an area where occupancy cannot be detected by the occupancy sensor.

Setting the "Temperature Setback Delay - Heat" to "00", disables the setback in the heat mode.

13 - MINIMUM SETBACK TEMPERATURE - HEAT

(52°F - 72°F; 65°F* default setting) Select the "Minimum Setback Temperature" in °F.

Setback temperature is calculated by measuring HVAC unit's ability to attain "Recovery Temperature - Heat" within "Temperature Recovery Time".

If recovery is disabled (“Temperature Recovery Time” is set to “0”) or if setback temperatures have not yet been calculated, the “Minimum Setback Temperature” value will be used as the setback temperature for heating.

If calculated setback temperature for heating is lower than “Minimum Setback Temperature”, then the “Minimum Setback Temperature” will be used as setback temperature for heating.

This feature allows defining the minimum temperature in a room when room is unoccupied and the thermostat is in the setback mode.

14 - TEMPERATURE SETBACK DELAY - COOL

(00 - 120; 30* default setting) Select the time delay (in minutes) for which the room that is in the guest occupancy mode needs to be unoccupied before the temperature setback is initiated.

This feature prevents initiating temperature setback prematurely while the guest is still in the room but in an area where occupancy cannot be detected by the occupancy sensor.

Setting the "Temperature Setback Delay - Cool" to "00", disables the setback in the cool mode. Set to "00" to disable EMS.

15 - MAXIMUM SETBACK TEMPERATURE - COOL

1765

(72°F - 92°F; 76°F* default setting) Select the "Maximum Setback Temperature" in °F.

Setback temperature is calculated by measuring HVAC unit's ability to attain "Recovery Temperature - Cool" within "Temperature Recovery Time".

If recovery is disabled (“Temperature Recovery Time” is set to “0”) or if setback temperatures have not yet been calculated, the “Maximum Setback Temperature” value will be used as the setback temperature for cooling.

If calculated setback temperature for air conditioning is higher than “Maximum Setback Temperature”, then the “Maximum Setback Temperature” will be used as setback temperature for air conditioning.

This feature allows defining the maximum temperature in a room when room is unoccupied and the thermostat is in the setback mode.

16 - RECOVERY TEMPERATURE - COOL

(62°F - 82°F; 72°F* default setting) Select the room temperature in °F that a HVAC unit will have to attain within the selected “Temperature Recovery Time” when there is a need for air conditioning.
