Setting Up a Price Response
The thermostat must be programmed with the necessary information in order to
respond to price signals. Settings can be changed at any time.
Price Tiers
The number of pricing tiers is determined by your energy provider. Fig. 46
shows three, color-coded price tiers: Above Normal (yellow), Peak Pricing
(orange), and Critical (red). The following example uses the Critical price tier.
Perform the following steps to set up the price response:
1. Activate the Home screen and press the SETUP button.
2. Press the Price Response button to open the Setpoint Offsets for Pricing
Events screen.
For each price tier displayed, you can select your offset to the normal
temperature setting you use. For example, if you normally cool at 76
_,a2_
offset will cause the thermostat to raise your setting to 78_ for the duration of the
price event, thus saving you energy and money during the elevated price period.
