WARNINGS:
●
Read all instructions before using this ther-
mostat.
●
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
product has a grounding type plug that has a
third (grounding) pin. This pin will only fit into a
grounding type power outlet. If the plug does
not fit into the outlet, contact a qualified electri-
cian to install the proper outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way.
●
Do not use Outdoors.
●

container.
●
Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter
any openings as this may cause electric shock,
fire, or damage to the thermostat.
●
Do not use in areas where gasoline, paint,
flammable liquids are used or stored.
●
Space Heaters can be dangerous if used
improperly. Be sure to follow all the Warnings
and Cautions that came with the instruction
manual written by the manufacturer of the
Space Heater.
●
Avoid the use of an extension cord because
the extension cord may overheat and cause
risk of fire. However, if you have to use an
extension cord, the cord should be a 3-wire,
grounding type, with No. 14 AWG minimum
size and rated not less than 1875 Watts.
●
Use this thermostat only as described in this
manual. Any other use not recommended by
the manufacturer may cause fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons.
●
Never clean this thermostat while it is
plugged in. Turn On/Off switch to Off, pull out
of the wall, and then clean by using a rag only.
CAUTIONS:
●
Your thermostat is protected against normal
static electric discharges. To minimize the risk
of damaging the unit in extremely dry weather,
touch a grounded metal object before touching
your thermostat.
●
Be careful not to drop the unit or disturb
electronic parts.
INSTALLATION
TOOLS REQUIRED:
Small regular screwdriver
LOCATION:
●
Do not locate where air circulation is poor,
such as in a corner or an alcove; or behind an
open door.
●
Do not install it where there are unusual heat-
ing conditions, such as: in direct sunlight; near a
lamp, television, radiator, register, or fireplace;
near hot water pipes in a wall; near a stove on
the other side of the wall.
●
Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions,
such as: on a wall separating an unheated
room; or in a draft from a stairwell, door, or win-
dow.
●
Do not locate in a damp area. This can lead
to corrosion that will shorten thermostat life.
●
Do not install the unit until all construction
work and painting has been completed.
PREPARING THE UNIT
1. The WIN100 comes with (2) G13A size 1.5V
Alkaline Button Cell Batteries already installed.
These batteries power the clock only during nor-
mal operation. They also provide backup power
to retain the thermostats programs and settings
while it is not plugged into the wall. In order to
"activate" them, you must remove the black rib-
bon from between the two batteries prior to
using it. Use a small regular screwdriver to pry
open the battery holder and pull out the black
ribbon.

WARNING:
●
If any plugs do not fit into the receptacle that you
are trying to plug into, Stop, the WIN100 is not
designed for this application.
●
If the cord you are plugging into the WIN100 only
has 2 prongs, STOP, not having
a ground wire is unsafe. Your
Window Air Conditioner or Spacer
Heater must have a plug with 3
prongs on it.
5. Plug the WIN100 straight into a 110 V
olt electrical out-
let on the wall nearest your Air Conditioning Unit or
Space Heater
.
6. Plug in the electrical cor
d from your Window Air
Conditioner or Space Heater directly into the front of the
WIN100.
COMPLETING YOUR INSTALLATION
7. Configure your thermostat at this time. Refer to
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
8. T
urn the ON/OFF switch on the upper right side to the
ON position.
9. T
urn on your Air Conditioner or Space Heater and turn
the thermostat all the way up. (This will allow the
WIN100 to control the room temperature and maintain a
specific temperature)
10. Verify that the Window Air Conditioner or Space
Heater and its fan are operating properly. When set to a
high temperature, the heating system should provide
warm air after a short time. Likewise, a cooling system
should provide cool air after a short time. Usually sound
can be heard while they are running. The rush of mov-
ing air should be heard within a short time after either
has been started.
11. Y
our installation is now complete.
2. When you have the black ribbon out, simply push the
battery compartment back in while lining up the arr
ows.
3. On the back of the
WIN100, ther
e is an
External Temperature
Sensor that looks like
an antenna. Pull this
sensor out of its clip
and bend the wire so
that it point straight up.
This is required for
accurate temperature
contr
ol.
4. On the upper right
side of the unit, ther
e is
an On/Off switch.
Place this switch in the
OFF position for right
now

switching the mode to OFF, or initiating a Hold.
●
Adjusting the set temperature to its program value will
also cancel an OVERRIDE.
PROGRAMMING
EDITING HEAT OR COOL PROGRAMS
The WIN100 provides two separate programs, one for heat-
ing and the other for cooling. Each program has separate
settings for weekdays and weekends. Every day a program
cycles through four independent periods. You can use the
default programs or alter them to suit your schedule.
DEFAULT TEMPERATURE PROGRAM
As supplied from the factory, the following ENERGY STAR
®
approved program will be used for temperature control in
RUN MODE. This program and all other software settings
may be restored to their default values via a SOFTWARE
RESET.

WEEKEND PROGRAMMING
Weekend programming is identical to weekday pro-
gramming except that you must rotate the dial to SET
WEEKEND PROGRAMS and the days that you will
program are Sa and Su together. This two day program
will repeat.
ADVANCED FEATURES
CALIBRATION OFFSET
Your thermostat is accurately calibrated at the factory
to within + 1°F. An offset value up to +5°F may be
added to the temperature value that the thermostat
measures. This may allow you to match this thermostat
to another.
To change this offset from its default value of 0:
1. Open the door on the front of the thermostat.
2. Rotate the dial to SET DAY/TIME.
3. Simultaneously press NEXT and HOLD. The
Temperature Offset value will flash.
4. The default value is 0 and in most cases should
remain untouched.
5. Use the UP/DOWN keys to adjust the offset value.
6. Return the dial to its RUN position to accept the new
value.
SOFTWARE RESET
Use this feature to make all settings and programs
return to their default values. Press and release [RESET]
button using a pen or pencil. It will perform a system
check and then returns all settings to their original
default values before initiating normal operation.
NOTE:
Pressing this button will overwrite your
program and install the default values of all
temperature programs and setup values into the
unit's nonvolatile memory. To ease reprogram-
ming later, record your thermostat's programs
and settings in the table provided at the page
bottom before using this button.
TEMPERATURE VARIATION / SWING
Your thermostat works by turning your heating or
cooling system on and off whenever the room temper-
ature varies a certain number of degrees from the set-
point temperature. This variation is the "swing". Your
system should cycle on about 3 to 6 times per hour. A
smaller swing number increases the number of cycles,
so room temperature is more constant. A larger swing
number decreases the number of cycles, saving ener-
gy in most cases.
SWING ADJUSTMENT
This setting controls when the heating or cooling
turns on and off.
●
The Swing setting sets the temperature variation the
system allows above or below the set temperature
before turning on the heating or Cooling. To change
this value:
1. Rotate the SPEED DIAL
®
to RUN.
2. Press NEXT and HOLD simultaneously. The
Temperature section of the display shows a single digit
number between 1 and 9.
