About the 4500 Thermostat 
The Ademco 4500 thermostat provides control for both heat and air 
conditioning.  It is intended for use with Ademco security systems 
that include the enhanced 4286 phone module.  You can set the 4500 
thermostat using any Touch-tone phone, either on premises or 
remotely.  The 4500 thermostat is not a replacement for the existing 
thermostat, which remains in the installation, but can be selected to 
provide a “set-back” function whenever the system is in the ARMED 
AWAY mode.  The existing thermostat controls premises temperature 
while the security system is DISARMED, or in ARMED STAY mode. 
Saving Money on Energy Bills
 
An important benefit of combined climate control and security is 
potential energy cost savings.  During the heating season, you can 
“set-back” the 4500 thermostat for times when you are away from 
home by putting the security system in the ARMED AWAY mode.  
Our set-back feature lets you turn down the thermostat when the 
house is empty automatically, when you arm the security system in 
the ARMED AWAY mode.   
During the cooling season, you can set the 4500 thermostat for a 
higher temperature than the existing thermostat for times when you 
are away from home, to save on cooling costs by putting the security 
system in the ARMED AWAY mode. 
In both cases you can call home to adjust the set-back temperature 
that is in effect while the system is in the armed away mode. 
The 4500 Thermostat Provides Comfort and Convenience 
Heat or air conditioning in vacation homes can be remotely set and 
monitored by phone.  For example, heat can be turned up at a ski 
cabin before guests arrive.  The owner can also call-in to the system to 
check that the indoor temperature is being maintained while the 
premises are vacant. Users can set the air conditioning by calling 
home just before leaving work.  Once access to the security system 
has been established, the ambient temperature will automatically be 
announced if the installer has programmed this function.  The 
following sections describe how to use the 4500 thermostat.

How the 4500 Thermostat Works With Your 
Present Thermostat 
The 4500 thermostat works in combination with the original 
thermostat installed on the premises. 
While the premises is occupied, the security system is usually armed 
STAY or DISARMED, and the 4500 thermostat will be inactive.  The 
original thermostat can be used as usual to set and adjust your 
premises temperature. 
When controlling a heating system, the set-back temperature setting 
of the 4500 thermostat must always be set to a lower temperature 
than the original thermostat.  This way, the 4500 thermostat will 
turn down the heat when the security system is ARMED AWAY. 
Alternately, when controlling an air conditioning system, the set-back 
temperature setting of the 4500 thermostat must always be set to a 
higher temperature than the original thermostat.  This way, the 4500 
thermostat will allow the ambient temperature to rise when the 
security system is ARMED AWAY. 
If the pre-existing thermostat has a built-in clock and schedule, the 
schedule can be used to set the times you “wake,” “leave,” “return,” 
and “sleep.” 
Note:  The “leave” time should be set for the latest time that you 
would expect to leave the premises.  The “return” time should be set 
to the earliest time you expect to arrive at the premises.  If you leave 
earlier or return later than scheduled times, the 4500 thermostat will 
adjust the temperatures accordingly. 
In summary, the 4500 thermostat allows you to: 
• Set back the temperature (to that set in the 4500 thermostat) 
automatically by arming in the AWAY mode when leaving home. 
• Resume normal temperature (as set by the existing thermostat) 
automatically by DISARMING the system when returning home. 
• Check the temperature by phoning in from a remote location.

Front Panel Controls 
As you can see from Figure 1 below, there are two controls and one 
indicator on the front panel of the 4500 thermostat: 
HEAT  COOL   BYPASS  ACTIVE

Figure 1.  4500 Thermostat Controls and Indicator 
1. HEAT/COOL Switch 
This switch is used to set the control mode of the 4500 thermostat. 
The mode can be set to either HEAT or COOL. This is the same as 
found on most thermostats. For premises that only have heat or air 
conditioning but not both, the proper mode should be selected with 
this switch, and the setting should not be changed. 
2. ACT IVE/BYPASS Sw itch 
This switch is used to activate and deactivate the 4500 thermostat. 
When this switch is set to the ACTIVE mode, the 4500 thermostat is 
able to set back the room temperature when the security system is 
ARMED AWAY. BYPASS is used to bypass the 4500 thermostat. 
When bypassed, the 4500 thermostat cannot change the room 
temperature.  
 • To use fan alone on your thermostat, put the 4500 in the BYPASS position. 
• You will not be able to adjust room temperature by phone when the 4500 
thermostat front panel switch is in BYPASS position.

Front Panel Controls (cont’d) 
There are several uses for the BYPASS switch function: 
• Allows the user to go back to their original thermostat at any 
time. 
• Allows heating/air conditioning service people to bypass the 4500 
thermostat during servicing and maintenance work. 
• 
Allows switching back to the original thermostat if the security system is 
not working or is being serviced.
 
3. ACTIVE/ BYPASS Controls Indicator 
This yellow LED indicator shows the status of the 4500 thermostat. 
• When the ACTIVE/BYPASS switch is in the ACTIVE position, the 
LED will be steadily on. 
• When in BYPASS, the LED will be steadily off. 
 If there is a problem with the wirin
g to the 4500 thermostat, the LED will flash, 
and you should call your alarm installation or service company for service.

 The 4500 measures the temperature of the surrounding air as well as the wall 
that it is mounted on. It may provide a slightly different reading than a 
thermometer or another thermostat mounted nearby. 
This can be due to nearby sources of heat or drafts, sunlight, and varying 
accuracy of existing thermostats.  Unless the reading is off by more than        
4° F, this should not be a cause for concern.

Controlling the 4500 Thermostat by Phone 
The phone access feature of the Honeywell security system provides a 
number of capabilities to the user: 
• To adjust the ARMED AWAY set back temperature of the 4500 
thermostats over any phone. 
• To turn off the set back function for a single ARMED AWAY 
period, or turn it on again if necessary. 
• To control two 4500 thermostats in a single installation. 
A Thermostat Mode voice menu can be activated after accessing the 
security system by phone. 
To Enter the Thermostat Mode Menu By Phone 
1.  Obtain access to your security system by phone according to the 
instructions for phone access provided with your security system.  
You will need to enter the 2-digit phone code provided by your 
installer, and your 4-digit user code when you are calling from 
outside, or whenever prompted by the system. 
2.  You will now hear the announcement of the security system 
status followed by the ambient room temperature (if installer 
has programmed this particular option). 
3.  Wait until the security system completes the status announce-
ments.  When prompted by the system, press: 
 The security system phone access module will announce all words 
denoted by quotation marks and italicized as follows: 
• “THERMOSTAT MODE,” followed by whether “SET-BACK” is 
“ON” or “OFF”, and whether the 4500 thermostat is set for 
“HEAT MODE” or “COOL MODE.”   
• The temperature setting of the 4500 thermostat that is in effect 
when the security system is ARMED AWAY. 
A menu of thermostat related end-user commands will be annunciated.  
The following sections: Adjusting the Set-Back Temperature of the 
4500 thermostat, Turning the Set-Back On and Off, Using Two 
4500 thermostats With Your Security System,
 and Exiting 
Thermostat Mode explain the use of the thermostat mode commands.

Adjusting the Set-Back Temperature 
of the 4500 Thermostat 
Keep in mind that the on-premises existing thermostat is set to the 
desired temperature for when the building is occupied.  The 4500 
thermostat is used to set the set-back temperature for when the 
premises is unoccupied and the security system is in the ARMED 
AWAY mode. 
The 4500 thermostat is set from any Touch-tone phone, either on-
premises, or by calling in when away. 
1.  Make sure that the front panel switches on the 4500 thermostat 
are set correctly.  
• The ACTIVE/BYPASS switch must be set to ACTIVE, and  
• The HEAT/COOL switch must be set for the desired mode of 
operation. 
2.  Enter thermostat mode as described on page 5.  A menu of user 
commands will be announced. 
 
3.  When you hear the prompt, “To change temperature, enter 1,”  
Press          during a pause in the thermostat mode menu 
announcement.
 
The system will announce “Temperature set to 65,”  for example. 
4.  Next, it will announce “Enter new temperature.” 
If you want to keep the present set-back temperature, 65 degrees 
in this example, just press     . 
5.  If you want to change the set-back temperature point, you can 
then enter a new temperature: 
                     for example. 
You have now set your unoccupied premises temperature to 61 
degrees.  The system will then announce the change of set point.

Setting the Set-Back Temperature 
of the 4500 Thermostat (cont’d)
 
6. The new ARMED AWAY (set-back temperature) point will be 
announced.  This is the temperature the 4500 thermostat will 
maintain when you are away from the premises.  The set-back is 
turned on only when the security system is ARMED AWAY. 
The system will announce “Armed away temperature set to 61.” 
7.  Next, it will repeat “Enter new temperature.” 
If you want to keep the present set point, 61 degrees in this 
example, just press          . 
If you make an out-of-range temperature setting, a buzzer sound 
will indicate to you that you made a mistake, and you will be 
prompted again to enter the desired set point. 
You have now set your ARMED AWAY temperature to 61 in this 
case, and the phone module will echo back the change to verify.   
8.  If you are all done with the settings, and now want to arm or 
disarm the security system, wait for the “To exit enter zero” 
menu announcement and press        . 
9.  At this point, you have adjusted the set-back temperature and 
the new setting has been echoed back.  Your options now are: 
• to wait for the menu to be announced again in case you want to 
review or change the thermostat settings. 
• to just hang up the phone.

Turning the Set-Back On and Off 
The set-back feature of the 4500 thermostat works automatically 
when you leave the premises and the security system is ARMED 
AWAY.  However, sometimes you may want to override this feature.  
You can turn off the set-back at any time, while still on the premises 
or off. 
For example, on a very hot day, you may want the premises 
temperature to be restored to the more comfortable normal settings 
by the time you return home from work instead of remaining at the 
more economical set-back temperature until you arrive.  You would do 
the following: 
1.  Call the security system before returning home.  
2.  Enter your 2-digit phone code and 4-digit user code as requested 
by the system. 
3.  Press                               to enter the Thermostat Mode Menu. 
4. At the “To Turn Set-Back Off, Enter 3” prompt, press         . 
This command temporarily deactivates the set-back function until 
you return home.
 
5.  You can exit the Thermostat Mode at this point by pressing           
at the exit prompt.  
6.  The premises cooling system will now be under the original 
thermostat’s control with the premises temperature being lowered 
to the more comfortable setting. 
When you turn off the set-back, you are only doing so temporarily.  
When you return home the thermostat mode menu resets itself 
automatically so that when you again exit the premises with the 
security system in the ARMED AWAY state, the premises 
temperature will go to the programmed 4500 thermostat setting.   
In the example above, if you change your mind and decide not to 
return home early, you can turn the thermostat set-back to on again 
by phone.
