INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing your new RC-101 heat pump electronic

communicating thermostat. Your thermostat will provide you with

comfort, convenience, and energy savings for years to come.

We hope that you take a few moments to become familiar with all of

the features of this fine product by reviewing this manual. Please

keep this manual on file for future reference.

DESCRIPTION

The RC-101 is a precision digital thermostat with Real Time Pricing,

specifically designed for heat pumps. It has the capability of being

controlled both locally and by remote control. It offers

programmability, stand alone operation, and robust, optically isolated

communications with automation systems, utility control systems,

and personal computers.

There are several items which can be configured at the time of

installation. These items have a check box ( ) for your installer to

indicate which features are used in your system.

As an EPA ENERGY STAR Partner, Home Automation, Inc. has

determined that this thermostat meets the ENERGY STAR

guidelines for energy efficiency.

MAINTENANCE

Your new thermostat is maintenance free. There is no battery to

install or replace. If necessary, clean unit carefully with a mild soap

solution on a soft cloth.

ABOUT HEAT PUMPS...

A heat pump is a mechanical refrigeration system that operates in

two modes, heating and cooling. In cooling mode, the heat pump

takes indoor heat and pumps it outside, just like a standard air

conditioner. In heating mode, the process is reversed: the heat pump

takes outside heat and pumps it inside. Although it feels cold

outside, the air still has heat in it that the heat pump can use as a

source of heat. The fact that the heat pump moves heat from one

place to the other (as opposed to creating heat directly from

electricity or gas) is the key to it's remarkable efficiency. A heat

pump usually produces over 3 times more heat per watt of electricity

than standard electric heating.

While some heat pumps use outside air as their source of heat, others

use the heat available under the ground or in a water well. These are

called air-source, ground-source, or water-source heat pumps,

respectively. The RC-101 is capable of controlling all of these types

of heat pumps.

In extremely cold conditions, the heat pump may require assistance

from another source of heat, known as "auxiliary heating". Auxiliary

heating is less efficient than the heat pump, so it is best to use the

heat pump instead of the auxiliary heat.

For normal and most efficient operation, the RC-101 should be in

HEAT or AUTO mode so that it can properly control the auxiliary

heat. The heat pump is used first, auxiliary heat is used only if

necessary.

In EMERGENCY HEAT mode, the RC-101 will turn the heat pump

off and use the auxiliary heating only. This mode may be used if the

heat pump has failed.

ENERGY EFFICIENT CONTROL

Using the programmable or remote control features of your

thermostat, you can save energy costs by setting back the thermostat

during unoccupied times. This reduces the energy loss from indoors

to outdoors. In the past, it has been said that heat pumps should not

be set back because it takes more energy to re-heat the premises than

to keep it at the same temperature. This is true with mechanical

thermostats, because they will use the inefficient auxiliary heat to

recover from the setback. This is not true with the RC-101, because

it uses intelligence to ensure that recovery from setback is done using

the heat pump, and not the auxiliary heat. Because the heat pump

takes longer to recover, heat pumps should not be set back for periods

of time less than 4 to 6 hours.

The RC-101 has microprocessor intelligence that continually

monitors the performance of the heat pump and uses the auxiliary

heat only when necessary. If the RC-101 determines that the heat

pump is able to heat at a rate of 5 degrees per hour or better, the

auxiliary heat will not be used. If the heat pump is unable to heat at

this rate, the RC-101 will use the auxiliary heat to supplement that of

the heat pump. Under these conditions, the heat pump will run

continuously and the auxiliary heat will cycle on and off as needed.

If you wish to temporarily override Energy Efficient Control to heat

as quickly as possible, press the Hold key. The RC-101 will use the

Auxiliary Heat as needed to reach the heat setting, then resume

Energy Efficient Control once the setting is reached.

Remember to turn Hold off to resume programmed operation.

OPERATION

To take advantage of all the benefits and features offered by your

thermostat, we recommend that you start by becoming familiar with

its operation.

1- Display

The Display is used to show current time, temperature, outdoor

temperature (optional), mode, and to give useful information that

will guide you through normal operation of your thermostat.

2- Hold

Press the Hold key to set the system into Hold mode. In Hold

mode, the thermostat will not change its settings by program.

When hold mode is first turned on, the RC-101 will use the

auxiliary heat to get to the heat setting as quickly as possible.

Once the temperature is at or very near the heat setting, or if the

temperature is already near the heat setting, the RC-101 will

resume energy efficient operation.

3- Prog

Press the Prog (programming) key to set the current time and day

(hours, minutes, day of week), and to program the temperature

time schedules for the MORN, DAY, EVE, and NITE periods.

4- Mode

Press the Mode key to set the thermostat mode to Off, Heat,

Cool, Auto, or EM Heat.

In Off mode, the heating and cooling systems are both off and do

not respond to changes in temperature settings.

In Heat mode, the heating system responds to maintain your

desired heating setting.

In Cool mode, the cooling system responds to maintain your

desired cooling setting.

In Auto mode, your thermostat will automatically switch between

heat and cool to maintain your desired heating and cooling

settings.

In Emergency Heat mode (displayed as EM HEAT) the

thermostat will turn off the heat pump and use the auxiliary

heating to maintain the temperature setting. This mode should

only be used if the heat pump is malfunctioning, because the

auxiliary heat costs more to operate than the heat pump.

5- Fan

Press the Fan key to set the system fan to Fan Auto or Fan On.

In Fan Auto mode, the fan runs only when the system calls for

heating or cooling.

In Fan On mode, the fan runs continuously.

6- Down Arrow (∨)

Press the Down Arrow key to lower the desired temperature.

7- Up Arrow (∧)

Press the Up Arrow key to raise the desired temperature.

8- Aux Heat Indicator

The Aux Heat indicator (green) glows when the auxiliary heat is

on.

9- Check Indicator

The Check indicator (red) may be used to indicate a malfunction

of the heat pump, of for some other condition. Your installer

will explain its use.

Note:To check your desired setting without changing it, press the

up or down arrow key (∧or ∨)once.
