I am at the BCV right now and I need to know how to override the thermostat

[sweetp267]

Hi everyone
Just a quick post to see if anyone has the proper procedure for overriding the thermostats. I have tried to search but I am coming up empty. My stat has a fan only button, a fan speed button and a display button right underneath the temperature display. Next to and on the right of the display is the temp up and down controls. That is it no other buttons on the stat. If someone has had experience with this please let me know. It isnt hot im my room but it could stand to be a little cooler. I would rather not call maintenance for a little thing like this.

Thank you!

On the thermostat push the power button and the down arrow(that adjusts the temp) at the exact same time. If you do this correctly there will be the letters "bp" where the temp numbers usually are. You are now bypassing the sensors in the room. You can then set the temp to whatever you want and it keeps the room that cold whether you are in it or not.

Never tried it but that is what was posted by others as working.

When we stayed at BCV a couple of months ago, we didn't need to override the thermostat - it kept the room comfortable the entire time.

However, I saved the following instructions from an earlier post - YMMV

"On the thermostat push the power button and the down arrow (that adjusts the temp) at the exact same time. If you do this correctly there willbe the letters "bp" where the temp numbers usually are. You are now bypassing the sensors in the room. You can then set the temp to whatever you want and it keeps the room that cold whether you are in it or not. The maintenance man said that you might have to do this once a day as the thermostat tends to go back to sensor mode after 24 hours. We found that it stayed on bypass for a couple of days at a time. It was great to come back to a cold room or not wake up in the middle of the night in a sweat again. The CM that did this for us said it was not a problem doing this as they do it for pople all the time. Guess they get a lot of complaints."

TO CHANGE AC THERMOSTAT SETTINGS THE THERMOSTAT HAS TO BE PUT INTO "SERVICE MODE" IT IS SIMPLE TO DO BY PRESSING THE FOLLOWING KEYS ON THE FRONT OF THE THERMOSTAT.

EXECUTE THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE:

1. PRESS (AND KEEP PRESSED) THE F/C KEY

2. PRESS (AND RELEASE) THE OFF/AUTO KEY

3. PRESS (AND RELEASE) THE DISPLAY KEY.

4. RELEASE THE F/C KEY.

UPON SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING THIS SEQUENCE, THE LCD WILL DISPLAY PAR (PARAMETER) AND THE PARAMETER NUMBER.



1. PRESS THE UP ARROW KEY AND SCROLL UNTIL # 6 APPEARS. (NEW MODELS # 24)

2. PRESS THE OFF/AUTO KEY

3. THE CURRENT LOW TEMPERATURE IS DISPLAYED.

4. PRESS THE DOWN ARROW KEY AND SCROLL UNTIL THE DESIRED ROOM TEMPERATURE APPEARS

5. PRESS THE F/C KEY

We had the same problem last week. The instructions don't match the thermostats in the room. Maintainence actually came to our room to replace light bulbs and I asked about it. He said there was no way to override them.

That said, we had no problem with the temp. It cooled very quickly and we often had to turn the air off because it got so cold.
