Braeburn Thermostat 5020 Details

The Braeburn Thermostat 5020 is designed for user-friendly operation, featuring the exclusive SpeedBar® multi-function button to simplify programming and setting changes. This innovative control allows for quick adjustments, making it easier to manage your home's climate preferences throughout the day or week without complex navigation.

For efficient scheduling, the 5020 offers SpeedSet® programming, giving users the flexibility to program all seven days of the week simultaneously. Additionally, it supports standard 7-day residential programming with four events per day, 5-2 day residential programming, and a 7-day commercial mode with two events daily. A non-programmable mode is also available for those who prefer manual control.

Comfort control is enhanced with the convenient HOLD feature, allowing users to temporarily or permanently override the program schedule. This is ideal for unexpected schedule changes or extended absences. The thermostat also comes with pre-programmed energy-saving schedules, providing an immediate benefit upon installation if no custom programming is desired.

The Braeburn 5020 includes practical maintenance reminders through its user-selectable service monitors. These monitors will flash reminders for required air filter, UV bulb, or humidifier pad replacements, ensuring optimal system performance and indoor air quality. Resetting the reminder is as simple as pressing the RETURN button after service.

Advanced operational features like Auto Changeover Mode automatically switch between heating and cooling based on set points, maintaining a comfortable environment without manual intervention. The Adaptive Recovery Mode (ARM™) intelligently anticipates when to turn on your system to reach the desired temperature by your scheduled program time, maximizing energy efficiency while ensuring comfort.

For fan control, the thermostat offers convenient programmable and circulating fan modes, allowing users to customize fan operation to help circulate air and provide more even temperatures. The Programmable Fan Mode lets you run the fan continuously during specific program events, further enhancing air distribution.

The 5020 model provides robust system protection, including Compressor Protection with a delay to prevent damage from short cycling. For heat pump systems, it offers cold weather compressor protection by locking out stages after extended power outages, which can be manually overridden for immediate heating needs. An AC Power Monitor also alerts users ("NO POWR") if hardwired power is lost.

Security and customization are also key aspects, with a Thermostat Lock Code feature that allows users to set a 3-digit code to lock or unlock the device, preventing unauthorized changes. Users can also set a Temporary Override Adjustment Limit and a Program Override Time Limit, providing granular control over temperature adjustments and program adherence.

Finally, for enhanced sensing capabilities, the Braeburn 5020 supports optional indoor or outdoor remote sensing. When compatible Braeburn sensors are installed, the thermostat can read temperatures from remote locations, or even combine readings with the thermostat's internal sensor, offering more precise environmental control across your space.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Braeburn Thermostat 5020, and we answer them below.


How do I reset the Braeburn Thermostat 5020?
To reset the thermostat, use a small object like a toothpick or paperclip to gently press the button inside the small hole labeled “RESET” on the front of the thermostat. This will erase all user settings and programming, but not Installer Settings. Note: You cannot reset the thermostat if it is locked.

How do I change the batteries in my thermostat?
Gently pull the thermostat body from its base. Remove the old AA batteries and replace them with two new AA alkaline batteries, ensuring the correct positive (+) and negative (-) orientation. Then, gently push the thermostat body back onto the base.

What are the available system control modes on the 5020?
The Braeburn Thermostat 5020 typically offers AUTO, COOL, OFF, HEAT, and EMER (Emergency Heat for heat pumps) modes. You can cycle through these by pressing the SYSTEM button.

What are the fan control modes?
The thermostat supports AUTO (fan runs only with heating/cooling), ON (fan stays on continuously), CIRC (fan circulates air periodically), and PROG (fan runs based on program schedule) modes. Use the FAN button to select.

How do I set the current time and day on the thermostat?
In normal operating mode, press the DAY/TIME button. Use the SpeedBar® to adjust the hour, then press NEXT. Repeat for minutes, then for the day of the week. Press RETURN to exit.

What is the HOLD feature used for?
The HOLD feature allows you to override the program schedule and maintain a desired temperature indefinitely (LONG) or for a 24-hour period (24HR). Press the HOLD button, then adjust the temperature using the SpeedBar®.

How do I use the service monitors for filters, UV, and humidifier pads?
User-selectable service monitors remind you to replace air filters, UV bulbs, or humidifier pads. When SERVICE and FILTER, UV, or HUMID flashes, perform the maintenance, then press RETURN to reset the timer for that specific monitor.

How do I lock or unlock the Braeburn 5020 thermostat?
First, set a 3-digit lock code in the User Options. To lock/unlock, press and hold DAY/TIME and HOLD buttons together for 5 seconds. Enter your 3-digit code using the SpeedBar® and NEXT, then press RETURN. 'LOCKED' will appear when activated.

What is Adaptive Recovery Mode (ARM™)?
Adaptive Recovery Mode (ARM™) is a feature that learns how long it takes to reach your desired temperature. It will turn on your heating or cooling system early before a scheduled program event to ensure the target temperature is met by the exact time you have set.

Can I view the outdoor temperature on my Braeburn 5020?
Yes, if a Braeburn outdoor remote sensor is connected, you can view the outdoor temperature by simultaneously pressing the PROG and HOLD buttons on the thermostat.

What is the Compressor Protection feature?
Compressor Protection activates a short delay after the system compressor turns off to prevent damage from short cycling. For heat pump systems, it also provides cold weather compressor protection, locking out stages after power outages longer than 60 minutes.

What does 'NO POWR' mean on the display?
If your thermostat is hardwired with batteries as backup, 'NO POWR' displayed on the screen indicates a loss of 24 Volt AC power to the thermostat. The batteries will continue to power the thermostat's functions.
