ET-4 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

ATTENTION: PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULL BEFORE INSTALLING THIS UNIT

PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE ET-4

The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to connect it to the facilities of the local telecommunication company. The equipment must also be installed using an approved method of connection. In some cases the company's inside wiring associated with a single-line individual service may be extended by meain of a certified jack-plug-cord set (telephone extention cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Telecommunications company requirements may not permit their equipment to be connected to custo-mer-provided jacks.
Repairs to this certified equipment should be made by the manufacturer. Repairs or alterations made by the user, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to ask the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure, for their own protection, that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe systems, if any, are properly linked. This precaution is particularly important in rural areas.

NOTE: All the accessories used in the installation of this unit must be certified by local certification organisation (ex. CSA for Canada). The installation must be performed by a licensed electrician.

INSTALLATION

Turn off the breaker(s) of the heating and cooling systems.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

Step 1	Chose where the unit will be installed near the thermostat. Note: The ET-4 will work in conjunction with your standard low voltage thermostat and should be installed to either side or above the thermostat, but not directly underneath.
Step 2	Using a 1/2" drill bit, drill two holes for the cables. (Use the TEMPLATE).
Step 3	Remove the original thermostat, and run a cable with the appropriate number of conductors between the thermostat and the ET-4. Run a cable with the appropriate number of conductors between the ET-4 and the HEATING/COOLING system control. (Refer to the proper Schematic Drawing)
Step 4	Install the insulated bushings at the rear of the ET-4, facing the wall.
Step 5	Thread the telephone conductors, the cable connected to the central system and the cable connected to the thermostat in the two insulated bushings.
Step 6	Fasten the ET-4 back panel to the wall with 4 screws.
Step 7	It is very important to put dry-wall caulking around the cables at the bushing locations behind the ET-4 to insulate from the internal wall cold air circulation.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Refer to the proper schematic drawing, the ET-4 internal wiring diagram and refer to the user's manual of the HEATING/COOLING system.

IMPORTANT: The central system usually has a transformer; avoid overloading the transformer when connecting the ET-4.

Three cases where an additional 24 VAC, 20 VA CSA certified transformer maybe needed.

1) The existing central system transformer is overloaded by connecting the ET-4.

2) One of the two wires of the secondary of the central system transformer is grounded.

3) Audible parasitic noises are present when commanding the ET-4 by telephone (even though the secondary is not grounded or the transformer of the central system is not overloaded.

Note: Refer to schematic drawings where anadditional transformeris added.

Step 1	Complete all the connections necessary for proper functioning of the heating and/or cooling system.
Step 2	Connect the telephone cord terminals to the terminal block PH1 (red) & PH2 (green) and insert the end plug of the cord into a telephone jack of the same type only after Step 1 of TESTING THE ET-4.
Step 3	Atter checking your electrical connections, put the cover back and fasten it with the two nylon clips.
Step 4	The ON/OFF button of the ET-4 has to be in the OFF position (the button is out).
Step 5	Turn ON the breaker(s) of the heating and cooling systems.

WARNING: Do not connect the ET-4 casing to ground and should not be connected to a party line.

FIRST TIME TESTING THE ET-4

Step 1	Turn ON the ET-4 (using the ON/OFF switch). The red indicator light will be ON.
Step 2	Refer to the procedure for "PROGRAMMING AFTER A MASTER RESET OR FIRST TIME ROGRAMMING" and "OPERATING INSTRUCTION".
Step 3	Atter checking your electrical connections, put the cover back and fasten it with the two nylon clips.
Step 4	The ON/OFF button of the ET-4 has to be in the OFF position (the button is out).
Step 5	Once Step 2 is completed and the ET-4 has accepted your new P.I.N. (Personal Identification Number), you may command it to assume the operating mode you wish and also you may test the temperature switching levels of the ET-4 to be sure it works properly.

FEATURES

May be connected to any standard Rotary Pulse or Touch-Tone Line.
Accessible from any Tone/Pulse Telepphone connected to any Touch-Tone Line.
Accessible from any Tone/Pulse Telephone connected to any non-Touch-Tone Telephone Line by dialing with pulses and entering commands with the lone signals of the handset.

Punch on the telephone keypad 0000 and listen for 1 BEEP; follow proceeding steps 3 through 8 of the next paragraph.

NOTE: The ET-4 will hang-up automatically 10 seconds after the BEEP if a command is not entered on the keypad.

REGULAR PROGRAMMING

When programming, you must proceed according to the following steps; you may hang-up the telephone after you have changed the features needed and the following features will remain unchanged in ET-4 permanent memory.

Step 7	Enter 1 for Seasonal Melody or 0 for audible Signal for comfort mode confirmation of the commands and listen for 1 BEEP.
Step 8	Enter 0 for energy saving temperature or enter 1 for extra energy saving temperature and listen for a long BEEP to confirm the end of the programming mode and the ET-4 will automatically hang-up.

EASY OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

(AUTOMATIC MODE) After a minimum period of a two-hour absence you may:

Step 1	Dial the telephone number
Step 2	Enter the 4 digit access code (P.I.N.) after the ET-4 answers (predetermined number of rings).
Step 3	Hang-up the telephone and the ET-4 will automatically operate the heating or the air conditioning according to the season for a predetermined number of half hours.
NOTE; The automatic mode minimizes all the long distance charges. (MANUAL MODE) Step 1 and Step 2 (same as the automatic mode) Step 3 Don't hang-up and enter proper commands. First Digit - Comfort Mode Setting; only one setting may be chosen. 1 - Heating 2 - Cooling Second Digit - Comfort Mode Setting ON or OFF or VERIFY the comfort mode status; only one setting may be chosen. 0 - OFF (Audible Descending Tone) 1 - ON (Audible Increasing Tone) 9 - Verify Status (Melody & Descending or Increasing Tone) Third Digit - Time of Comfort Mode Period; only one setting may be chosen. OR If a digit for a time period is not chosen, the comfort mode duration period will be indefinite until you turn it off. Example: 1 - 1 - 5 = Heating - ON - 2-1/2 hours Example: 2 - 1 = Cooling - ON - Indefinitely Example: 1 - 9 = Verify if command to heat is ON or OFF Example: 2 - 9 = Verify if command to cool is ON or OFF Notes: 1) You may push the Asterisk "star" on the telephone keypad for a quick hang-up of the ET-4. 2) During a power failure if the ET-4 is in the ABSENCE MODE the previous comfort command will be erased when the power is back and the light on the ON/OFF switch will be blinking. 3) Any incorrect command on the telephone keypad will cause the ET-4 to send you an audible error message by means of 5 low tone signals. IMPORTANT Even though the ET-4 guards your property against damage due to freezing, it cannot prevent electrical power failures. Thus, if the ET-4 is installed in your country house, before you leave for 12 hours or more during the winter time, it is recommended to completely empty all the water pipes and remove water from the toilet bowls; you should also switch OFF the hot water tank heater and pump motors. Note: curved pipe legs may trap some water. Note: For finished basements, make sure that air convection grills in the ceiling and corresponding grills in the next floor allow air to circulate between the ceiling and the floor to protect the pipes. Grill dimensions should be 4" x 6". (Some insurance policies do not cover damage such as pipe breakage occurringduring a prolonged absence.) Keep these instructions and drawings in a safe place. You must provide maintenance of your heating and cooling system.
