Pelican wireless thermostats offer convenience and energy efficiency, but sometimes you may need to override the programmed settings to adjust the temperature manually. This guide will provide step-by-step instructions on how to override a Pelican wireless thermostat, ensuring you have full control over your home’s comfort.

The override button is typically a physical button on the thermostat. It may be labeled “Override,” “Hold,” or “Manual.” Locate this button on your thermostat.

Step 2: Press and Hold the Override Button

Press and hold the override button for a few seconds. The thermostat will beep or display a message indicating that the override mode is activated.

Step 3: Adjust the Temperature

Use the up and down buttons on the thermostat to adjust the temperature to your desired setting. The thermostat will display the new temperature.

Step 4: Confirm the Override

Press the “Confirm” or “Save” button to save the new temperature setting. The thermostat will exit override mode and maintain the new temperature until the next scheduled program change.

How to Cancel the Override

Step 1: Press the Override Button Again

To cancel the override, simply press the override button again. The thermostat will beep or display a message indicating that the override mode is canceled.

Step 2: Confirm the Cancellation

Press the “Confirm” or “Save” button to confirm the cancellation. The thermostat will revert to the programmed schedule.

Additional Override Features

Permanent Override

Some Pelican thermostats offer a permanent override feature. This allows you to override the programmed settings indefinitely, without having to cancel the override manually. To activate the permanent override, press and hold the override button for a longer period of time, usually around 10 seconds. The thermostat will beep or display a message indicating that the permanent override is activated.

Temporary Override

Temporary overrides allow you to adjust the temperature for a specific duration, such as 2 hours or 4 hours. To activate a temporary override, press the override button and then use the up and down buttons to select the desired duration. The thermostat will display the duration and beep to confirm the setting.

Vacation Mode

Vacation mode allows you to set a specific temperature range that the thermostat will maintain while you are away from home. To activate vacation mode, press the “Vacation” button on the thermostat and then use the up and down buttons to set the desired temperature range.

Advanced Settings

Offset Temperature

The offset temperature feature allows you to adjust the thermostat’s temperature reading by a specific amount. This can be useful if the thermostat is located in a room that is consistently warmer or cooler than the rest of the house. To adjust the offset temperature, press the “Settings” button on the thermostat and then select the “Offset” option. Use the up and down buttons to adjust the offset temperature.

Filter Change Reminder

The filter change reminder feature sends you a notification when it is time to change the air filter in your HVAC system. To activate the filter change reminder, press the “Settings” button on the thermostat and then select the “Filter Change” option. Use the up and down buttons to set the desired interval for the reminder.
