Welcome to the world of comfort and energy savings with your new Honeywell T7516A,B,C Energy Management Thermostat brought to you by your energy utility. This thermostat allows up to seven separate days of programming. You can set the thermostat to control the temperature in your home, your water heater, and another appliance (such as a swimming pool pump) according to your personal schedule and preferences.

Getting to Know Your Thermostat The thermostat has a display, a covered 15 key keypad, a covered battery compartment, and an indicator light on the front panel (see Fig. 2). Fig. 2 shows the thermostat, display, and all display segments.

TEMPORARY THIS SCREEN IS ALWAYS PART OF THE DISPLAY SEQUENCE. ONLY APPEARS: WHEN YOUR ENERGY UTILITY SIGNALS IT TO DO SO; DURING A LOSS OF COMMUNICATION, OR A THERMOSTAT FAULT. Fig. 3. Display sequence. A SERIES OF SCREENS THAT PROVIDE THE PHONE NUMBER TO CALL TO CONTACT YOUR ENERGY UTILITY.
Keypad Lift the front cover to see the keypad. From the keypad, you can operate and program the thermostat. To operate the thermostat, press and release the keys. NOTE: The thermostat registers all program- ming inputs immediately and main- tains them until manually changed.

As the batteries run low, the thermostat display sequence includes an indication of this. The low battery indication appears one to two months before the batteries run out completely. Replace the batteries as soon as possible after the indication appears.
Indicator Light This light indicates primarily the emergency heat (or auxiliary heat). It also indicates whether Critical Time-of-Use Pricing is in effect, or is scheduled (see Table 1). Auxiliary (or Emergency) Heat Flashes three times, then pauses. Flashes once, then pauses. Flashes twice, then remains on.
Complete the Personal Programming Charts (Tables 3 through 6) before you program your thermostat. You can program the thermostat with separate schedules for heat, cool, electric water heater, and one appliance (such as a pool pump). Each device schedule is for seven separate days and up to four periods.
Overrides An override is a setting used to manually change the setting without affecting the program memory. From the standard display, press the Clear key to clear any temperature override in effect. To clear Water or Appliance overrides, press the Water or Appl key until the display shows neither On nor Off underneath Water or Appl.
Press Water or Appl keys to toggle the hold status. Water switches between: no hold and hold off. Appl cycles through: no hold, hold on, hold off, and back to no hold. NOTES: — Only items being held appear on the display.

(depending on the season). If you choose not to program the thermostat, it controls the temperature using the following defaults: • The cooling temperature remains set to a constant 78°F.
NOTE: You cannot set temperatures higher than 88°F or lower than 45°F. Price Response You can also program the thermostat based on the current price of electricity. Use Tables 7 and 8 to plan the Price Response program. Price Response programming allows the thermostat to respond to changes in the RSVP prices.
NOTE: Before programming the thermostat, remove the clear protective plastic display overlay. Entering Schedule Programming Refer to your Personal Programming Charts...
NOTES: — If you delete all programming with the CLEAR key, the thermostat uses the default program. — PGM is an indication that you are in programming mode. 69-1611...

Overview Price response allows the thermostat to respond to changes in the RSVP prices. Your energy utility tells the thermostat what the current RSVP price is for electricity. These prices are: Low (least expensive), Medium, High, and Critical (most expensive). As the cost of energy increases, the thermostat reduces usage by temporarily changing the setpoint;...

With an appliance, the APPL indicator lights with either an ON or an OFF indication. With APPL set to OFF at a particular price, when the price reaches that level, the appliance load turns off, ignoring the program schedule. The water indicator works identically to the appli- ance indicator with one exception: when the RSVP price is low the water indicator is always...

Cool setting. HEAT: The thermostat controls your heating system according to the schedule you programmed. Heat pump models display AUX and the indicator light flashes denoting auxilliary heat element operation, see Table 1. EM HEAT: The emergency heater element of the heat pump is enabled.
Controlling Fan There are two fan settings: AUTO and ON. To select the fan setting, press the Fan key. Each time you press the key, the fan status changes to the next setting. With FAN displayed, the fan is on continuously. Use this setting for improved air circulation or during special occasions of short duration.
Troubleshooting IF… Display does not come on. • There is no power being supplied to the thermostat. Check fuse Temperature display does not go lower than 45°F or higher than 88°F during programming. Temperature change occurs at the wrong time.

Page 63
IF… Cooling does not come on (continued). The house is too warm or too cool. System ON indicated but no heat is coming from the vents. THEN… • If temperature setting is lower than current temperature and the display indicates COOL, set the system control OFF for ten minutes.
Page 64
• During recovery from setback or setup, setting and display temperatures may differ during the recovery period. • The thermostat is factory-calibrated and cannot be adjusted. • Your thermostat has lost communication with your energy utility. Call the number displayed on the thermostat.
Page 65
• Your energy utility periodically resets the clock to the correct time. This can change the time more than one minute (see Replacing the Batteries section). • If condition persists for more than one minute, the thermostat cannot establish the communication link; contact your energy utility.
