Schedules

Displays

the current

event when

a schedule is

active

By default, this thermostat uses four adjustable ‘events’ on a 24 hour cycle. Each
event is a time of day requiring a room temperature change. This optimizes system
efficiency by reducing room temperatures when the building is less likely to be
occupied.

Although default schedule settings are
recommended, they are fully adjustable.
Please refer to the “

Advanced Schedule

Settings

” section on Page 9 for more

detailed settings.

Mode of Operation

510 thermostat

has two modes of operation:

Off: Does not provide heating.

Auto: Automatically switches between heating and cooling the space.

Note:

If a

floor (Slab) sensor is installed, the floor minimum temperature will be maintained
even during cooling.
