The White Rodgers 1F95-391 is a premium 7-day programmable electronic digital thermostat from the Comfort-Set 90 Series for multi-stage heat/cool or heat pump systems with electric or fossil fuel auxiliary. It features 7-day programming with 4 periods per day, automatic/manual changeover, Computed Energy Management Recovery (EMR), humidity control, and battery backup with 3 AA batteries. Powered by 24 VAC (requires hot and common); compatible with systems up to 1.5A per terminal, 2.5A max total. Below are the key specifications, installation, operation, programming, and troubleshooting instructions.
Assemble tools: hand or power drill with 3/16 inch drill bit (if needed), flat blade screwdriver, wire cutter/stripper, level, voltmeter. Shut off electricity at main fuse box until installation complete. Label wires before disconnecting. This thermostat is for 24V systems only; not for line voltage. Install away from drafts, direct sunlight, or heat sources for accurate sensing. Install 3 AA alkaline batteries before programming.
WARNING! Failure to read and follow all instructions carefully before installing or operating this control could cause personal injury and/or property damage. Save these instructions.
The thermostat uses solid-state microcomputer technology to provide precise time, humidity, and temperature control. Features 7-day programming with four time/temperature settings per day, simultaneous heat/cool programs, up to 2 stages heat/1 stage cool, EMR, automatic changeover (selectable), compressor protection, lockout bypass (technician only), fan auto/continuous, emergency heat mode. LCD display alternates time/room temp/setpoint, up/down arrows, SYSTEM switch (HEAT/OFF/COOL/AUTO/EMER), FAN switch (ON/AUTO). Terminals: R (hot), C (common), G (fan), O/B (changeover), Y1/Y2 (compressor stages), W1/W2 (aux heat stages).
Applications: Multi-Stage Heat Pump: Yes; Heat Pump with Aux/Emergency: Yes; Multi-Stage Conventional: Yes; Single-Stage Heat/Cool: Yes; Heat Only: Yes; Cool Only: Yes; Gas/Oil/Electric/Hydronic: Yes; Millivolt: No.
CAUTION! To prevent electrical shock/equipment damage, disconnect power at main fuse/circuit breaker until installation complete. Label wires prior to disconnection. If in doubt about wiring, consult qualified heating/air conditioning contractor.
WARNING! Do not use on circuits exceeding 20-30 VAC 50/60 Hz (0.05-1.5A per terminal, 2.5A max total); higher voltage damages control/causes shock/fire. Do not short terminals on gas valve/primary control to test; short/incorrect wiring burns out components/causes injury/property damage. Conform to NEC Class II circuits. Do not operate cooling below 50°F (compressor damage).
ATTENTION! This product does not contain mercury but may replace one that does. Do not open mercury cells; if damaged, wear non-absorbent gloves, clean up spilled mercury, place in sealed container. Refer to www.thermostat-recycle.org for disposal. Turn to OFF before battery replacement. Use alkaline only. Handle to avoid static discharge.
A standard heat/cool thermostat consists of three basic parts: 1) Cover; 2) Base; 3) Subbase. Label each wire with terminal designation before disconnecting. Disconnect wires one at a time; do not let fall into wall.
Remove old thermostat. Mount new base level on wall, connect wires to terminals. For single transformer systems, install red jumper between RH and RC. Push excess wire into wall, secure base, attach thermostat body. Power up and configure.
Batteries: Install 3 AA alkaline before programming; low battery flashes "BATTERY". Replace if flashing; program retained.
Terminal Designations: R (24V hot), C (common), Y1/Y2 (compressor stages), G (fan), W1/W2 (aux heat stages), O/B (changeover), L (fault).
Single Stage Heat/Cool: R to hot, C to common, Y to compressor, G to fan, W to heat.
Multi-Stage (MS2): Add Y2 compressor 2, W2 heat 2.
Heat Pump (HP1/HP2): Y1/Y2 compressor, O/B changeover (O cool, B heat), W1/W2 aux heat, E/W1 emer.
CAUTION! RED jumper wire must be connected between RH and RC for single transformer systems. Refer to equipment manuals for specifics.
Restore power. Set SYSTEM to HEAT/COOL, FAN to ON/AUTO, adjust setpoint to test.
CAUTION! Do not operate below 50°F.
