0:00 / 0:00
hey what's up everybody has going today
I'm gonna be showing you how to do some
things on this Emerson thermostat a
couple of things that I'm gonna cover is
how to change the batteries how to set
turn on the lock feature and how to turn
it on and turn it off so that you're not
locked out of your thermostat and also
I'm show you a problem I was having with
the temperatures maximums and minimums
and how to set those in the in the true
menu the kind of the hidden menu that
you can't access just by hitting the
menu so there's just a couple of things
that I'm gonna be going over today so
the first thing I'm going to do is I'm
gonna show you about the lock feature
okay so if you have this little lock up
here and on your screen and maybe you
don't know how to get it off or or
what's going on but your thermostats
locked so you see it blinking no matter
what I'm pressing here I'm not I'm not
changing anything I'm not doing anything
and so my thermostat actually is not
letting me access anything because it is
locked right now so super easy
all you do is hold the Menu button in
the up button and you'll see that lock
disappear you hold those at the same
time and now that lock is gone and so
when I press the fan button it changes
if I push the system button it's
changing okay and so now I've got my
lock feature disabled the other thing is
this is the emerson 800 series and so it
is battery-powered
it's a it's a program it's not a
programmable stat in the sense that I
can set it for Monday Tuesday Wednesday
to come on a certain temperature but it
does have some programmable features and
so we'll get into that in a second but
first I want to show you how to do the
battery so a lot of thermostats have
little cubby holes somewhere or slits on
the bottom that little panels that pop
off and you know you need the batteries
this thermostat you actually have to
remove the entire thermostat because the
batteries are on the back side of it so
what you do is you just want to grab it
on the top and on the on the bottom and
you just want to pull straight towards
you
it just popped off see that and so
basically you're just unplugging it from
its circuits here
and you can see the batteries or right
there on the back so it's two doublea's
again this is the emerson 800 series
thermostat non programmable thermostat
okay so well what's cool about this
thermostat is they actually give you a
little a little level to align your
thermostat here but anyway so to put it
back on it's actually a little off a
little bit here I didn't put this
thermostat in but but anyway so you put
it back on you just want to line up
those holes you can see let's see if you
can see this but it's kind of got some
plugs and all the plugs go in their
corresponding holes there on the side
and so you kind of feel it when he gets
right click it back in okay and now your
thermostat is all if you're changing
your batteries your thermostats ready
rock and roll again you're good to go
umm alright so let's get into a little
bit about the menu features and stuff so
it's unlocked right now again to lock
and unlock as you hold the menu in the
up button but if I push this menu button
the first thing is this is a Fahrenheit
and Celsius I mean you don't really need
that this is your room temperature
calibrations I can actually change the
temperature in the room if that's wrong
it's miscalculating this is like your
lighting display you can have your light
on all the time this is kind of a cool
feature it's the auto feature um and so
if you go to that it's not reformed your
menu if you do that and you push the UP
button you see I just turned on one
basically all that does is it gives you
an auto option so if you get to that
through your system button and if you
left it on auto when it gets too hot the
a/c is gonna kick go on if it gets too
cold the heats gonna kick on and so
that's just kind of a cool little
feature you can use if that's something
that you are interested in I'm just
trying to kind of explain some things
here and then the last one that's your
lock it lockout feature and that's
okay so you're at the end of your menu
but this is the problem I'm having so if
I go to cool it's on 72 right now it
says that I'm at my limit
I can't adjust the temperature anymore I
give a a see you can only go down to 72
which isn't true this thermostat
actually can go between 45 and 99
degrees so it's saying that can only go
down to 72 is just some kind of feature
that's actually it's a it's like a
maximum temperature or you know minimum
temperature feature that you can lock
out so people can't put it down too low
so we're gonna fix that also if we go to
our heat 65 is as hot as it can get in
the room before it cuts off and so I
know a lot of people like it around 70
and so we're gonna fix all that all
right so go to your back to your menu
button but don't push it and release it
you want to push it and hold it down
okay and you just hold that menu button
until it's gonna make you think that
nothing's happening okay all right so
we're actually in a hidden menu now now
all this stuff you don't want to start
changing these things around unless
you're a certified AC technician but you
want to scroll through to the seventh
page okay so now it says heat here left
hand side and 65 so 65 is where it's
limiting us to stop the heat okay if you
take go to your arrow key can you hit up
you can see how that rises now you can
actually go all the way up like I said
$2.99 or all the way down to 45 but why
you would want to go turn your heat down
to 45 I don't know but if you if you
look here now it's the limit is going to
be 70 and so it's actually gonna let us
come up from that 65 now all the way to
70 and so we're gonna push the menu
button again and then you're gonna see
cool okay so now it's saying that our
our minimum temperature that we can cool
to is 72 so we're actually gonna push
down and you can see now it's dropping
we're gonna go all
down to 68 so that our minimum
temperature is 68 and like I said you
can go all the way down to 45 obviously
your AC isn't gonna pull it down to 45
but that is an option and then when
you're done with that you just push exit
and now let's go to our cool and see
what we're at so we're at 72 Miz limited
as out before now it's working where we
can actually go all the way down to 68
and now it's gonna say limit so again if
you wanted to go down to 65 you could
set it to where it could go down to 65
I wouldn't recommend lower than 68 you
don't want to start messing with your AC
system and making it run too long and
all those things but those are those are
just some things let's go to the heat
now now you can see that the heat will
go actually all the way up to 70 and so
before that and so that before that heat
kicks off and so again you just hold
that menu button it might seem like
nothing's happening but it will
eventually come on it's just a hidden
feature and you want to go to the
seventh page the seventh page is the
heat okay and see it's set to 70 and
then the cool the limit is set to 68 and
like I said you can actually go further
than that if you if you wish but I hope
this video was helpful for me it was
difficult trying to figure some of these
things out and so I thought I'd make a
video to help some people out I know
most of my videos have been automotive
videos up to this point but we're just
trying to do some some other things and
I'll keep those automotive videos coming
as well but I hope this video is helpful
