Using Two 4500 Thermostats with 
Your Security System 
If your security system includes two 4500 thermostats and you have a 
multi-zone heating or air conditioning system, you can set the heat 
and air conditioning at different temperatures in different parts of the 
house. 
In order to program the thermostats, you must obtain access to the 
security system and then the Thermostat Menu Mode.   
Refer to the section “To Enter the Thermostat Menu Mode” on 
page 5 or perform the first three steps of the abbreviated step-by-step 
procedure on page 8 and continue with this procedure. 
The two thermostats in your system are named Thermostat 1 and 
Thermostat 2 for programming purposes.  When you first enter 
Thermostat menu mode, you are hearing status for “Thermostat 1”, 
and you can adjust the set point for Thermostat 1 without having to 
“LOG ON.”  
If, however, you want to review or set Thermostat 2, you must first 
choose the Log On menu selection. 
At the “To log on, enter 2” prompt, press       .  The System will 
announce 
“Enter thermostat number”. 
Press   to select Thermostat 2. 
You will hear the operating mode and set-back temperature for 
Thermostat 2.  Next, you can change its settings by waiting for the 
thermostat menu, and 
pressing  after the “To change temperature, enter 1” prompt. 
You can then review and change the set-back temperature in effective 
in the ARMED AWAY mode as described earlier in “Setting the 4500 
thermostat” on page 5 of this manual.

When Leaving Protected Premises 
for Extended Periods 
We recommend that the 4500 thermostat, the original thermostat, 
and the entire heating/cooling system be tested weekly, and always 
before leaving the premises for extended periods of time such as 
during vacation time.   
 
 W e recommend that your alarm system is monitored by a central station for 
system low battery and AC loss.  Be sure to give your central station contact 
information of someone who can access the premises in the event the system 
loses AC power while you are away for an extended period of time, since a power 
outage may cause the heating/cooling system to become inoperable. 
 
If you live in an area where temperatures can be extreme, it is 
important to dial into your security system periodically, as described 
earlier while away, to monitor premises temperatures.  Follow 
procedures detailed on page 5 to hear ambient temperature status 
and on page 6 for making changes to the set-back settings in the 
thermostat program mode.  If the heating, air conditioning, control 
system, electric power, or security system fails, you can call for 
service before any problems occur.   
If any one of those systems fails it could result in failure of the 
heating/cooling system to maintain room temperature.  Failure of the 
heating or cooling system could result in property damage or injury.   
It is important to maintain your security and heating/cooling systems, 
and to periodically test your security system and heating/cooling 
system to insure proper operation.

Testing the Heating/Cooling System 
To be sure the heating/cooling system is maintaining the room 
temperature at the set-back point you have programmed by phone, 
test the system as follows:   
1.  Be sure that the 4500 thermostat is in the ACTIVE mode using its front 
panel slide switch.  Refer to page 3 if in doubt. 
2.  Be sure that the ACTIVE LED turns on, and is not flashing.  
• A flashing LED indicates a problem with the wiring to the 
4500 thermostat).   
• A “Check Thermostat” announcement on the phone is also an 
indication to call for servicing of the 4500 thermostat. 
3.  Arm the security system in the ARMED AWAY mode and leave 
the premises. 
When you return home or by calling home while away, verify that the 
temperature inside the premises closely matches the set-back point 
initially programmed.  Be sure that sufficient time has been allowed 
for the premises ambient temperature to stabilize.  If the 4500 
thermostat is not maintaining temperature as was programmed, first 
review the “ARMED AWAY” set-back point using the phone, and 
then check if the pre-existing thermostat is working as described in 
the next section. 
If both thermostats are not working, call your heating/air conditioning 
service company for servicing of your system.  If only the 4500 
thermostat is not working properly, immediately set its front panel 
switch to BYPASS, thereby using the pre-existing thermostat to 
control your heating and cooling system, and call your alarm 
installation or service company for service.  
						

							 
12 
Testing the Pre-Existing Thermostat 
Switch the front panel ACTIVE/BYPASS switch to BYPASS, and 
check that the pre-existing thermostat (not the 4500 thermostat) is 
working and able to control the heating/cooling system.  If the pre-
existing thermostat does not function, have it replaced, or call your 
heating or air conditioning service company.   
If you need service for your security system or heating/air conditioning 
system: 
If your security system or heating/air conditioning systems are in 
need of service, set the 4500 thermostat to the BYPASS mode using 
the front panel ACTIVE/BYPASS switch. 
When bypassed, the 4500 thermostat is totally removed from control 
of the heating and/or air conditioning systems.  The  
pre-existing (original) thermostat will then maintain total control of 
the heating and/or air conditioning systems. 
When the 4500 thermostat is bypassed, it will be easier for 
heating/air conditioning service personnel to service those systems 
including their respective control systems.  The switch may be 
restored to the ACTIVE position when the servicing is completed. 
  
						

							 
   
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 
(FCC) PART 15 STATEMENT 
This equipment has been tested to FCC requirements and has been found accept-able for 
use.  The FCC requires the following statement for your information: 
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used
