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. 2 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. 3 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.

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. 4 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 NITEperiods. 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. 5 6- Down Arrow (U) Press the Down Arrow ke...
