Operation Guide 3M-30

The 3M-30 programmable communicating

thermostat operates via a high-quality, easy-

to-use touch screen. To program or adjust

your 3M-30, simply touch your finger firmly to

the screen. The screen will automatically light

up and you will hear a “beep.” The screen will

respond differently to different types of touches,

so you may want to experiment by touching it

different ways, finger, fingernail, etc. Do not use

a sharp or metallic device; it will scratch the

screen.

SWING

(HVAC cycling rate) This feature allows you to set the desired variance in temperature

between the 3M-30 setting and the room temperature required before the heating or cooling system

will turn on—from 0.5° to 2.0° F (.25° to 1° C). For example, if SWING is set to 2.0° F and the 3M-

30 is set to 70°F Target Temperature, the heat cycle will start when room temperature drops to 68°F.

Similarly, the cooling system will start when the room temperature increases to 72°F. The HVAC then

runs and will shut off at the Target Temperature.

To set

SWING

Touch SWING.

Touch the left/right arrows to set the SWING from 0.5° to 2.0° F.

The HVAC will run more frequently at .5°F and less at 2°F. Default is 1°F.

CALIBRATE

Your thermostat was accurately calibrated at the factory to ±1° F of actual ambient

temperature. You do have the option, however, to change the display temperature to match that of a

previous thermostat, or to match another thermostat already in your home. The range of change is from

-6°F to +6°F or -3°C to +3°C.

To change your Thermostat Calibration,

touch

MENU

and then touch

CALIBRATE.

Use the + / - to adjust the displayed temperature up or down, as desired.

The DELTA FACTOR that appears on the screen will also automatically increase or decrease for

each 0.5° (F or C) adjustment so you can see your change. The large display will show the modified

temperature reading that will be displayed on the HOME screen and used as the new room temperature.

Press

HOME

to return to the Home screen.

DIFF

(Used for 2 stage normal or heat pump with auxillary only, not on screen for single stage).

The differential is the number of degrees between the room temperature and the Target Temperature at

which the 2nd stage will be used. Default is 2°F.

Touch

MENU

and then

DIFF

. use the arrows to set the

DIFF

Recommend

DIFF

be set to 2°F for very cold climates and to 4°F for warm climates.

MANUAL Screen Functions

The 3M-30 has 4 manual override commands. The manual screen is accessed by touching the large

current temperature display on the middle of the HOME screen.

IMPORTANT:

The Mode must be in HEAT or COOL to access the manual screen.

TEMPORARY override

Touch the + / - arrows to select your desired temporary Target Temperature.

Touch HOME to return to operation. The

TEMPORARY

icon will display indicating you have modified

the Target Temperature for the current Time Slot only. It goes back to the program target at the next

period. Also once in temporary, if the target is set the same as the programmed target for that period,

the word TEMPORARY will go out.

HOLD

This will hold the target temperature you set indefinitely, until you turn

HOLD

off.

HOLD

will allow

you to operate your thermostat as a manual thermostat. It will keep whatever temperature you set until

you change it or cancel hold. Take care using the

HOLD

function as the program is now bypassed. To set

a hold target temperature, touch

HOLD

and use the +/- icons to select your hold temperature. The

HOLD

icon will display on the HOME screen indicating you have changed the Target Temperature. The system

will

HOLD

this temperature until you return to the manual screen and de-select

HOLD

by touching it. Hold

is also canceled when you set the mode to OFF.

HOLIDAY

This is a single program that repeats day after day until you turn it off. It supersedes the

weekly program. To use it touch

HOLIDAY

on the temporary screen. The default holiday program is

shown below. To modify this program, touch the PROGRAM button and then touch the DAY area until

HOLIDAY appears (after SAT). The default HOLIDAY program is set as 2 time slots; all day (same

target MORN, DAY and EVEN) and a different target for NITE. [Default program: HEAT 70

F all day

and 62

F at night. COOL 78

F all day and 82

F at night.]

EMER

(in HEAT PUMP type)

If you setup your 3M-30 for HEAT PUMP with auxiliary heat, EMER function is available with a

switch under the top cover on the right. If you switch EMER to ON, your heat pump is disabled and

auxiliary heat is your sole source of heat. This manual override stays active until you switch EMER

off. Auxiliary heat is more expensive than the heat pump so use EMER only if the heat pump cannot

keep up or is defective.

Other Functions

Save Energy Button

The “Save Energy” feature on the 3M-30 provides a simple, easy-to-use way to help you manage

your energy use. SAVE ENERGY automatically adjusts your Target Temperature up in COOL or

down in HEAT by 4

F. To use Save Energy, press the Save Energy button in the upper left corner

of the unit. The screen will now read “Save Energy”. To return to normal operation, press the “Save

Energy” button again. This is useful to save energy if you are gone for a short time.

FAN Switch

AUTO

: The fan control is normally in

AUTO

mode, meaning that the fan operates automatically with

the HVAC system and the thermostat. When the fan switch is in

, the fan will run continuously until

switched back to

AUTO

[NOTE: Fan

function is available in the OFF mode to allow simple ventilating.]

Simple Screen

This display mode limits the amount of information on screen and limits the functions to just the

+/- arrows. To access the limited display “Simple Sceen”, hold down the PROGRAM button for 12

seconds. Hold down the PROGRAM button for 12 seconds to leave the limited display screen.

RESET button

The RESET button re-boots the 3M-30 processor. It does not effect the user

programs that have been stored in permanent memory.

Compressor Protection

The 3M-30 has a minimum cycle time of 4 minutes to protect your

compressor in cool and in heat pump (if you have one). The Home screen will show a small clock and

A/C during this time and the compressor will not come on until the 4 minute delay is over.

Communicating Thermostat

The 3M-30 has 2 RTM-1 radio ports. These allow your thermostat

to communicate with other systems. Depending on your area

power company, programs may be available to connect your

thermostat to power grid status information. This can make it easy

for you to moderate your energy use at peak hours and use power
when it is less expensive.

Using USNAP Radios

- The USNAP ports allow you to

connect your 3M-30 to your home WiFi network. This can give you

access to your home’s HVAC system even when you are away

[with additional web service]. It can also give you access to web

based efficient energy management sites that can help you save

money and protect the environment.You can connect your 3M-

30 to an AMI network for In Home Display of electric grid status or connect to a Home Automation

network for HA functionality with remote access to your HVAC system and home conditions.

To Insert a USNAP radio module:

Power off the 3M-30. Insert the radio module in either

slot on the back of the 3M-30. Power up 3M-30.

To connect

to a network follow the instructions that

came with the USNAP module.
