Heat Pump, Dual Fuel and Balance Points

IMPORTANT − The Balance Points feature requires that a sensed out- door temperature is provided to the thermostat. This can be either a connection to Wi−Fi (for local temperature information) or a connection to an outdoor sensor (included in all communicating icomfort t−en- abled heat pumps; optional outdoor temperature sensor X2658 for non−communicating heat pumps).

Heat Pump Balance Points

The LOW and HIGH setpoints may be controlled by the icomfortWi-Fit ther- mostat using the LOW and HIGH Balance Points feature. To enable the Bal- ance Points feature, go to the installer section equipment button. Scroll

down to theedit and scroll down to Balance Points Controls. Use arrows to select Enabled and then press save. See the flow- chart (Page 33) for a simplified explanation of how balance points control system operation.

Low Balance Point

If the outside temperature is below the programmed low balance point (set by default at 25°F), compressor operation is not allowed. Since the heat

pump is not as effective at a lower outdoor temperatures, it may be more comfortable to use the auxiliary electric heat or the furnace (in dual fuel sys- tems, it may be more economical) to satisfy a demand for heat. The low bal- ance point options are from −20°F to the high balance point temperature. The setpoint can be adjusted in 1.0°F steps.

High Balance Point

If the outside temperature is above the programmed high balance point (set by default at 50°F), auxiliary electric heat operation or furnace operation (in dual fuel system) is not allowed. This ensures that the lower cost heat pump operation will satisfy the heating demand, rather that the more expensive auxiliary electric heat. The high and low balance points will not lock out both compressor heat and auxiliary heat/furnace at the same time.

Dual Fuel Applications (Communicating Systems Only)

Dual fuel applications, which include both a Heat Pump and a gas furnace, will provide multiple stages of heating. For example, a two−stage heat pump would deliver two stages of heat. The gas furnace can add two to four more stages of heat. Figure 35 flow chart illustrates Dual Fuel operation with Bal- ance Points.
