White Rodgers SuperStat Pro User Manual

The White Rodgers SuperStat Pro is a 5+2 day programmable electronic digital thermostat for low voltage heating and cooling systems. It features separate weekday/weekend programming with 4 periods per day, simultaneous heat/cool programs, automatic/manual changeover, compressor protection, filter reminder, and energy usage display. Powered by 24 VAC; compatible with single-stage systems up to 1.5A per terminal, 1.5A max total. Below are the key specifications, installation, operation, programming, and troubleshooting instructions.

Preparations

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 Energizer 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.

Description

The thermostat uses solid-state microcomputer technology to provide precise time/temperature control. Features 5+2 day programming with four time/temperature settings per day, simultaneous heat/cool programs, automatic/manual changeover, compressor protection, filter reminder, energy usage display, backlit LCD. LCD shows time/room temp/setpoint, up/down arrows, SYSTEM switch (HEAT/OFF/COOL/AUTO/EMER), FAN switch (ON/AUTO), buttons for RUN, HOLD, INFO, PRGM, DEVICE/MODE, TIME/SET, DAY/PERIOD. Terminals: R (hot), C (common), G (fan), Y (compressor), W (heat), O/B (changeover).

Applications: Single-Stage Heat/Cool: Yes; Heat Only: Yes; Cool Only: Yes; Heat Pump (Single-Stage): Yes; Gas/Oil/Electric/Hydronic: Yes; Millivolt: Yes.

Precautions

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 24 VAC 50/60 Hz (1.5A per terminal, 1.5A 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). Avoid overriding Critical Events to prevent higher energy costs.
