Set the system switches to match your HVAC configuration. Restore power and test the thermostat by switching between modes (Heat, Cool, Off). Verify proper operation by checking airflow and temperature changes. If battery-powered, insert fresh AA batteries. Finally, program your desired settings or schedules, ensuring all features function as expected.

Wiring Diagrams and Compatibility

Refer to the wiring diagrams provided in the manual to ensure correct connections. The Proselect thermostat is compatible with 24V AC systems or can operate on AA batteries for backup power. Wiring diagrams detail connections for heating, cooling, and fan terminals. Ensure compatibility with your HVAC system, including heat pumps, by verifying the model specifications. Models like PSTSL11P52 and PSTSL21P52 support 2H/1C configurations. Always match wire colors to the correct terminals (e.g., R, W, Y, G, C). If unsure, consult the compatibility chart or contact customer support for assistance. Proper wiring ensures safe and efficient operation of your thermostat system.

Programming User Settings

Program your Proselect thermostat to customize temperature settings for weekdays and weekends. Set schedules for wake, leave, return, and sleep times to optimize comfort and energy savings easily.

Default Thermostat Settings

The Proselect thermostat comes with pre-set default settings designed for energy efficiency and comfort. These include standard temperature ranges for heating and cooling, as well as system mode preferences. Default settings are optimized for typical usage patterns, ensuring minimal energy consumption while maintaining desired comfort levels.

The thermostat also retains these settings during power outages, ensuring consistent operation. Understanding and adjusting default settings is crucial for maximizing the thermostat’s performance and customizing its operation to your lifestyle.

Setting Temperature Differentials

The Proselect thermostat allows users to set temperature differentials, which determine the range between the current and set temperatures. This feature ensures the system starts heating or cooling in time to reach the desired temperature at the scheduled time. Accessible via the menu, temperature differentials are typically measured in degrees and can be adjusted to optimize comfort and energy efficiency. Properly setting this feature helps avoid unnecessary system cycles, reducing energy consumption while maintaining a consistent indoor climate. The default settings are designed for efficiency, but users can customize them based on personal preferences or specific environmental needs.

Programming Multiple Time Periods for Weekdays and Weekends

The Proselect thermostat enables users to program up to four time periods daily, with distinct settings for weekdays and weekends. This feature allows for tailored temperature control, enhancing comfort and energy savings. Preset schedules are recommended to minimize heating and cooling costs, but users can customize settings to suit their lifestyle. For example, set a lower temperature during sleep hours and a higher temperature when the house is unoccupied. The thermostat maintains the set temperature until the next scheduled period begins, ensuring consistent comfort. Adjustments can be made easily via the menu, offering flexibility for any schedule changes or preferences.
