A patented Lux Speed Dial allows for fast programming, and an easy-to-read display shows the current time and temperature.

Save Money and the Environment

Like all programmable thermostats, the ELV4 helps reduce energy consumption, but this efficient device takes savings a step further. To maximize your home's energy efficiency, the ELV4 comes preprogrammed with a default heating schedule that's designed to save up to 33% on energy costs over a year, and it can also help cut down on your carbon footprint. Because the ELV4 is 100% mercury free, you can be sure it's a safe and environmentally conscious choice for your home.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do I turn off the time periods timer
Answer:	Sorry, you have to push the up or down arrow button to display the set temperature. On the other hand, after your system has operated for a while, the displayed ambient temp. is pretty much the set temp. because of the rather narrow temp. "swing" (even with the maximum "swing" of 1-1/4 degree F).
Question:	Is there a self life on this product? I’ve had mine maybe 8 years. I have mine on hold at 65 but sometimes it goes to 80 or 50 but displays
Answer:	No. It requires batteries to operate. It does NOT have a built in power supply circuit.
Question:	What is the lowest temperature setting
Answer:	On the lower left side of the circuit board will be 3 jumpers, JP1, JP2, JP3. Jumper JP3 should be across both pins on the circuit board then press the reset button on the left side of the circuit board for 3-5 seconds. Fahrenheit temperature will now be displayed. LUX Technical Support
Question:	I have a 120V relay/contactor that manages my baseboard heaters. So I need a thermostat that can handle a inductive load. Will this work
Answer:	This was an important question to me because of where I was installing the thermostat. The first thermostat installed was a Honeywell - that was when I found out Honeywell thermostats do not have the temp swing/differential feature - they are designed to keep a room at an even temp. The problem with this is that it was causing my furnace to short-cycle a lot because the area was not well insulated! After some research I discovered that because of the room not being well insulated, I needed to have a thermostat with a temp swing/differential feature. In looking at this thermostat (DMH110) on-line I was seeing conflicting answers on this question. One person here said it was up to a 1.25 degree swing whereas on another website they said it went up to a 2.25 degree swing. I decided to contact Lux directly via email and they got back to me right away. Here is a copy and paste of their answer to my question specifically related to the DMH110: "The Temperature Swing feature will be from Swing #1 - .25 ˚ F +/- to Swing #9 ? 2.25˚ F +/-. For Example swing set on #4 (1.00˚ F +/-) and the room set point 70˚ F; the turn on point will be 69.0˚ F and turn off point will be 71.0˚ F; 1 degree + or ? around the room set temperature.SWING SETTINGS:#1= 0.25° F +\- (from Set Temperature)#2= 0.50° F +\- (from Set Temperature)#3= 0.75° F +\- (from Set Temperature)#4= 1.00° F +\- (from Set Temperature)#5= 1.25° F +\- (from Set Temperature)#6= 1.50° F +\- (from Set Temperature)#7= 1.75° F +\- (from Set Temperature)#8= 2.00° F +\- (from Set Temperature)#9= 2.25° F +\- (from Set Temperature)

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use a variable speed control for an exhaust fan with this unit for cooling in the hold mode
Answer:	LUX WIN 100-005 EVAPORATIVE COOLER THERMOSTAT
Question:	Can this be plugged into a power strip (or surge protector) instead of a wall outlet
Answer:	I would be EXTREMELY wary of plugging a heater into a power strip. If you are running something at 1500W that line has to be good. The longer the cord, the more electrical resistance. The more resistance, the more heat (and risk of fire). The more cords that can be faulty, the higher the chance one is.Get a GOOD surge protector, and test and inspect it regularly. Make sure its one with lights that indicate if it is protecting properly. Also it's best to get a new surge protector every 5 years or so because they will inevitably absorb some small surges that wear them out over time.When it comes to devices that can burn your house down you should take electrical safety very, very seriously.
Question:	Owners manual (Pg 3) states only to use WIN100 with 3-prong (grounded) appliance cords!!! Most space heater cords only have 2 prongs. Experiences
Answer:	The only bad thing you can do as far as 2 or 3 pronged plugs go, is to remove the third grounding prong on a plug in order to make it work in an ungrounded (2-prong) receptacle or extension cord. Otherwise plugging a 2-pronged device into a 3-pronged outlet is perfectly safe. The 3rd prong is usually connected to the metal chassis of an appliance so that if something inside gets knocked around or wet and ends up energizing the metal chassis - it will cause the circuit to short and hopefully trip the circuit breaker, instead of creating a shock hazard by energizing the other metal parts on the device.

Question:	can this be used for outside dog house heat lamp in the winter? I would want it to come on when the temp drops below 50 degrees Fahrenheit
Answer:	That is exactly what I use it for. It's been in the dog house for 2 years now. The chew proof comments are not really valid. You wouldn't want the dog getting the chance to make contact with the heater right? So to solve the situation, youd get some welded fence wire and put a box around the heating element. I put the controller in the same large welded wire box. Dogs can't get to any of it which is the most responsible way to keep it from being broken, chewed, or catching a fire (I keep hay in the box too).

User questions & answers

Question:	How accurate is it? I would be using it for a convection electric heater
Answer:	Yes, the temporary bypass enables temperature override without changing programming.
Question:	What is the size? 9 X 7 X 4 appears to be very large
Answer:	Probably not. This is for a resistive load and the pump motor is an inductive load. I would check with Honeywell to be sure.
Question:	How is this supposed to mount? It's described as if it is a replacement for a thermostat. That's not my situation
Answer:	2 main differences that I see:#1 the wattage is different. for the th106, you have 2000/4000 Watts for (120/240 volts) and the th104 only has 1750/3500 watts. it's not a big deal unless you have requirements on how many or how big of heaters you are controlling. For me, I have 1 medium and 2 small baseboards which totals to 2000 watts on 120 volts.#2 the programming is different. on the th106 you can specify temps for each day of the week-differently, whereas the 104's programming allows for weekend/weekday modes.
Question:	Is this a double pole thermostat
Answer:	This unit is wired directly to your 220v 2-wire circuit for the thermostat. This is a line voltage thermostat.

About Honeywell

Honeywell's roots reach to 1885, when an inventor named Albert Butz patented the furnace regulator and alarm. He formed the Butz Thermo-Electric Regulator Co., Minneapolis, in April, 1886, and soon invented a device he called the "damper flapper” – an ingenious predecessor to the modern thermostat.

User questions & answers

Question:	will this work with a two stage 96 effient gas furnace
Answer:	two prong plug
Question:	Can this be use with batteries only - i do not have a "C" common wire
Answer:	I found diagrams online. But the 4 smart thermostats I’ve installed I’ve pulled the jumper from r to rc. Then put the transformer wire in c and rc. Remember to pull the jumper
Question:	I've watched the video, downloaded the manual, Googled and I still can't separate the back for installation. What's the trick
Answer:	So you can’t plug right into the doorbell
Question:	Does this thermostat have a lockout feature where other people can't change the settings? And if it does, is it a 4 pin number or less
Answer:	Not according to Ring. This https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000115323-Troubleshooting-Insufficient-Power-Issues-with-Ring-Video-Doorbell-Pro says 20 VA is needed and this transformer is 24v * .3A = 7.2 VA so this falls short. What caused you to think you needed a transformer? Are you running this stand-alone without a doorbell, or is your existing doorbell transformer lower than 16 volts ac or lower than 20 VA?
