and Warranty Information
About half of all energy used by households goes to heating and cooling the
home. By selecting a programmable Aprilaire® Electronic Thermostat, you have
made a significant step toward conserving energy usage and costs, while
improving your indoor comfort.
In fact, the Aprilaire® Model 8570 Premium Programmable Thermostat has earned
the “ENERGYSTAR®” designation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
This means that your Aprilaire Thermostat is a highly efficient, cutting edge
product that is good for the environment. It saves energy and costs less to operate
than similar products that do not qualify for the ENERGYSTAR label.
ENERGYSTAR products help you differentiate between
standard efficiency and high efficiency products. By
using ENERGYSTAR products, you are helping to prevent
air pollution while saving money on your utility bills.
According to the EPA, by programming your thermostat and taking advantage of the times
that a building is unoccupied or the occupants are asleep, an ENERGYSTAR thermostat can
reduce heating and cooling bills by as much as $150. The Aprilaire Thermostat has
programmable capabilities that allow you full flexibility to set your heating and cooling
systems to meet your comfort and energy needs. As an ENERGYSTAR partner, Aprilaire has
determined that this product meets the ENERGYSTAR guidelines for energy efficiency.

MESSAGE CENTER
Normally this is where you will find the current date and time
and the name of the current event if running the temperature
program. If the thermostat is in a Hold State, the thermostat will
display when the Hold State is scheduled to end. The area is also
used to give information on when you should replace your air
filter or UV lamp, when you should service your humidifier and
general HVAC equipment.
When installed with an Aprilaire® Automatic Digital Humidifier
Control (Model 58) and Humidifier, the message center will also
inform you if the humidifier is operating.
EQUIPMENT STATUS
In this area of the display, the thermostat will show the
equipment’s mode and whether the equipment is active. A typical
message in this area would be HEAT MODE when the equipment
is not running and HEATING when the equipment is active.
OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE
The thermostat has terminals that can be hooked up to an
outdoor temperature sensor. If this is installed, outdoor
temperature will be displayed in this area of the screen.
When installed with an Aprilaire® Automatic Digital Humidifie
Control (Model 58) or an Aprilaire® Model 6504 Intelligent Zon
Comfort System, this information is communicated to the thermo
so there is no need for the extra outdoor temperature sensor.
ROOM TEMPERATURE
The large temperature on the screen is the room temperature.
The scale can be changed from Fahrenheit to Celsius if desired
SETPOINTS
The setpoints are the temperature(s) to which the thermostat
is controlling.
MULTI-FUNCTION BUTTONS
The multi-function buttons are used throughout the thermostat
menu system and have many functions. The description on the
screen directly above the button is what that button is used fo
that particular screen. In Figure 1, the left button would be us
for INFO and the right button would be used for MENU.
UP/DOWN BUTTONS
These buttons are used to raise and lower temperature and to
navigate through the thermostat’s menus.

OPERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT
Backlight Operation
When any button is pressed, the backlighting will
illuminate. Once the backlight is on, subsequent button
presses will perform their respective tasks.
Using the Up & Down Buttons and Multi-Function
Buttons on the Thermostat
This thermostat uses a menu driven display and four (4)
buttons. The Up and Down buttons are generally used
to move between selections in the menu and to raise
and lower different parameters such as temperature,
days, minutes etc., depending on which screen you are
viewing. The multi-function buttons have a variety of
uses. The portion of screen directly above these
buttons will display the button’s function. For instance,
when the main screen is being viewed, the buttons are
titled INFO and MENU from left to right respectively.
To access the menu of the thermostat, press the right
multi-function button.
Notes on Temperature Adjustments
The Cool setting must always be 2° or 5° (F or C)
higher than the Heat setting. The value (2° or 5°) is
selectable. The thermostat will automatically change
the temperature setting not being adjusted to maintain
this difference, even if both settings are not shown on
the display.

The HOLD MENU, located in the MAIN MENU, allows you to hold a temperature until a set date and time,
as would be done during a holiday, or allows you to hold a temperature permanently.
6.1 Holiday Hold
You can program the thermostat to hold a temperature for a period of time. Whether you want to hold a temperature for a
few hours or for a few weeks, your thermostat can accommodate your schedule. First the thermostat will prompt you for a
temperature to hold. If you are in AUTO MODE you will be prompted for both a heat setting and a cool setting. Next it will

will change to RESUME PROG. If you choose to cancel the hold, simply press this button and the program will resume.
You must be in HEAT, COOL or AUTO mode to program a hold; the thermostat will inform you of this if you attempt to

9. Viewing Other Thermostats on the
System (Model 6504 Installation Only)
If installed with an Aprilaire® Model 6504,
you have another option in the MAIN MENU.
This option is to VIEW OTHER THERMOSTATS.
When this is selected a list of other
thermostats on the system will be displayed. If you have programmed a name in the THERMOSTAT(S), their
respective name(s) will be displayed. If no names are given, you will see default names such as THERMOSTAT 2.
When viewing other thermostats, you have the option of temporarily changing the temperature setting or
resuming the program. The left multi-function button will be labeled RESUME PROG. if the temperature program is
not running. This button would be used to resume the program, for the thermostat being viewed, if it is in hold.
Either RESUME PROG. or EXIT returns you to the VIEW THERMOSTAT LIST menu.
10. In Case of Power Failure
This thermostat does not require a battery. If the power goes out, the screen is blank. During the period the power is off,
the heating/cooling system will not operate. When power is restored, the thermostat will return to the previous settings.
If the power is off for more than 2 hours, you will need to reset the clock on the thermostat but all other information will
be stored. You will not have to reprogram your thermostat or change any settings that you have previously set.
11. Cleaning
If the surface of the thermostat becomes dirty it can be cleaned with plain water or many non-abrasive household cleaners,
including glass cleaner. When using any cleaner be careful not to get any into the interior of the thermostat. Do not spray
any liquid directly onto the thermostat. Spray the cleaner onto a soft cloth and wipe the surface of the thermostat.
