White Rodgers 1F80-0471 Emerson Blue 4" Single Stage Thermostat User Manual

A standard heat/cool thermostat consists of three basic parts:

1.  The cover, which may be either a snap-on or hinge type.

2.  The base, which is removed by loosening all captive  

screws.

3.  The switching subbase, which is removed by unscrewing

 

the mounting screws that hold it on the wall or adapter

 plate. 

was attached. Disconnect the wires from the old thermo- 

stat one at a time. 

1.  Pull the thermostat body off the thermostat base. Forcing

 

or prying on the thermostat will cause damage to the unit.

2.  Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole 

 

locations on wall using base as a template.

3.  Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes. If you

 

are using existing mounting holes and the holes drilled

 

are too large and do not allow you to tighten base snug-

 

ly, use plastic screw anchors to secure the base.

4.  Fasten base snugly to wall using mounting holes shown

 

in Figure 2 and two mounting screws. Leveling is for

 

appearance only and will not affect thermostat operation.

5.  Connect wires to terminal block on base.

6.  Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire re-

 

sistant material (such as fiberglass insulation) to prevent

 

drafts from affecting thermostat operation.

7.  Carefully line the thermostat up with the base and snap
 

into place.

The SS/HP switch is factory set to the SS position. In this posi-

tion, thermostat is configured as conventional single stage. If 

you have a single stage heat pump system, switch SS/HP to 

HP position (see figure 2).

The GAS/ELEC switch is factory set to the GAS position. In 

this position, the thermostat will not power the circulator fan on 

a call for heat, but will power the circulator on a call for cool.
If your system requires that the thermostat power the circula-

tor fan on a call for heat, this switch should be set to the ELEC 

position. Typically, gas and oil heating systems do not require 

the thermostat to power the circulator fan during a call for heat. 

If your heat is gas or oil, the switch should be set to the GAS 

position.
When the thermostat is configured for Heat Pump, the thermo-

stat will always power the circulator fan on a call for heat in the 

HEAT mode.

2 "AA" alkaline batteries are included in the thermostat. To in-

stall the batteries, pull the battery door as shown by the arrow 

and lift open. Using the polarity indicated inside the battery 

door, insert the batteries. To close the battery door, swing the 

door down while pulling in the direction of arrow. Once fully 

down, snap the door back into position. 

To replace the batteries, set system to OFF, following the 

instructions above.

Thermostat can be powered by system AC power or Battery. 

If 

 is displayed, the thermostat is battery powered. If

 

 is not displayed, thermostat is system powered with 

optional battery back-up. When battery power remaining is 

approximately half, the 

 will be displayed. When 

" is displayed, install fresh “AA” alkaline batteries imme-

diately. For best results, replace all batteries with a premium 

brand alkaline battery such as Duracell

®

 or Energizer

®

. We 

recommend replacing batteries every 2 years. If the home 

is going to be unoccupied for an extended period (over 3 

months) and 

 is displayed, the batteries should be re-

placed before leaving. When less than two months of battery 

life remain, the setpoint temperature will offset by 10 degrees 

(10 degrees cooler in Heat mode / 10 degrees warmer in 

Cool mode). If offset occurs, the normal setpoint can be 

manually reset with 

 or 

. Another offset will occur 

within two days if batteries are not replaced.
