Features of the Lux TX1000 Electronic Thermostat
The TX1000 can be used with most 24 voit gas, oil or electric heating and air conditioning sys-
tems or gas millivolt heating systems.
It cannot be used with 120 volt healing systems or multistage heat pumps, Ask your dealer for
other Lux thermostats to control those systems.
With tha system switch set to HEAT, the TX1000 will automatically change to lower energy sav-
ing room temperatures, and then return to warmer “comfort” settings al specified times during the
day. There are four programming periods per day. Each can be programmed separately.
With the system switch set to COOL, the TX1000 will change to higher energy-saving tempera-
tures, and return ta cooler "comfort" temperatures as you like during the day.
You can use the hullt-in time/tamperature programs, or alter them to suit your schedule. The
TX1000 provides separate programming for weekdays, Saturday and Sunday for both heating and
cooling. You can override the programmed temperatures for as little as ane programming period or
for an entire vacation.
A large liquid crystal display shows time, day of ihe week, and room and set temperatures, It will
remind you when the filler should be changed in your blower. Temperature swing adjustment Iets
you fine-tune your system for maximum comfort and economy.
Two "AA" batteries (not included) are used 1o retain your time and temperature programs. A 4-
minute minimum off iims in COOL prevents your alr conditioning system trom being damaged.

Overview

4. Maintenance Features

The Lux TX1000 Electronic Energy Manager Thermostat is a precision instrument designed for use with most 24-volt gas, oil, or electric heating and air conditioning systems, as well as gas millivolt heating systems. It is not compatible with 120-volt heating systems or multi-stage heat pumps. This thermostat allows users to manage their home's energy consumption by automatically adjusting room temperatures based on programmed schedules.

Function Description:

The TX1000 operates by controlling heating and cooling systems to maintain desired temperatures. When the system switch is set to HEAT, the thermostat automatically lowers room temperatures for energy savings and then returns to warmer "comfort" settings at specified times. Conversely, with the system switch set to COOL, it raises temperatures for energy savings and then returns to cooler "comfort" temperatures.

The thermostat offers four programmable periods per day, each with its own starting time and temperature. Users can utilize the built-in time/temperature programs or customize them to fit their specific schedules. Separate programming is available for weekdays, Saturday, and Sunday for both heating and cooling.

A key feature is the ability to override programmed temperatures. This can be done for a single programming period or for an extended duration, such as a vacation. The thermostat includes a large liquid crystal display (LCD) that shows the current time, day of the week, room temperature, and set temperature. It also features a filter usage monitor to remind users when to change their blower filter.

The temperature swing adjustment allows for fine-tuning of the system for maximum comfort and economy. A smaller swing number results in more constant room temperature with more frequent cycles, while a larger swing number decreases cycles to save energy. The thermostat is protected against normal static electric discharges, though in extremely dry weather, touching another metal object before interacting with the TX1000 is recommended to prevent potential loss of programs.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Compatibility: Most 24-volt gas, oil, or electric heating and air conditioning systems; gas millivolt heating systems.
• Incompatibility: 120-volt heating systems, multi-stage heat pumps.
• Amperage Limit: Maximum 1.0 amps. Higher amperage may cause damage.
• Power Source: Two "AA" batteries (not included) are required to retain time and temperature programs.
• Cooling System Protection: A 4-minute minimum off time in COOL prevents damage to the air conditioning system.
• Temperature Swing: Adjustable from 1 to 9, with a setting of "3" referring to approximately ±1°F differential.
• Filter Usage Monitor: Preset to display "Filter" enunciator after 250 hours of blower run time, adjustable from 100-500 hours.

Usage Features:

• Programming: Users can program up to four periods per day (MORN, DAY, EVE, NITE) for weekdays, Saturday, and Sunday, with distinct heating and cooling temperatures. MORN and EVE periods must have the same temperature, though different temperatures can be selected for heat and cool.
• Temporary Temperature Override: Allows for temporary adjustment of the set temperature without altering programmed schedules. This override is automatically canceled at the start of the next programmed period or by pressing the RETURN key.
• Temperature HOLD: This feature allows the thermostat to maintain a specific temperature indefinitely, useful for extended periods away from home. It is manually canceled by pressing HOLD or RETURN again.
• System Switch: Selects between HEAT, COOL, and OFF modes.
• Fan Switch: Selects between AUTO (fan runs only during heating/cooling cycles) and ON (fan runs continuously). Requires independent fan control (G terminal wiring).
• LCD Display: Shows time, day, room temperature, set temperature, and active program indicator (MORN, DAY, EVE, NITE).
• Battery Indicator: Displays when batteries need replacement.
• Reset Button: Used to restore built-in programs and resolve erratic operation.

Maintenance Features:

• Battery Replacement: Batteries should be replaced once a year or when the battery indicator appears on the display. Users have approximately 1 minute 15 seconds to replace batteries without losing programs.
• Filter Usage Monitor: Tracks blower run time and reminds users to change the filter after a preset number of hours (default 250 hours). The monitor can be reset to zero and its limit adjusted.
• Installation: Requires careful adherence to instructions, including turning off electricity to the appliance, labeling wires, and proper mounting. The thermostat should be located on an inside wall, away from unusual heating or cooling conditions, damp areas, or poor air circulation.
• Troubleshooting: In case of problems, users are advised to reread the instructions, ensure the thermostat is in Normal Operating mode, check batteries, and press the RESET button. Technical service is available via a toll-free number.

The Lux TX1000 is designed for user convenience and energy efficiency, providing flexible control over home climate while offering helpful reminders for system maintenance.
