Cooling System

!CAUTION

To prevent compressor and/or property damage, if the outdoor temperature is below 50°F, DO NOT operate the cooling system.

1.Press SYSTEM button to turn thermostat to COOL.

2.Press to adjust thermostat setting to 45° and hold for five seconds. After you release the button, the blower should come on immediately on high speed, followed by cold air circulation. Both stages of the cooling system should begin to operate (if you have a two-stage cooling system).

If the fan is running but the compressor is not running and the word COOL is flashing, the compressor lockout feature is operating (see Lockout Bypass Option to temporarily override the compressor lockout feature during testing).

3.Press to adjust temperature setting above room tempera- ture. The cooling system should stop operating.

NOTE

During normal operation, the second stage of heat or cool may take 15 to 30 minutes to turn on. The delay varies depending on the performance of the first stage. Typically the second stage will come on sooner in more severe weather, while in milder weather it will take longer. There is no adjustment to this feature, as it is designed to maximize both comfort and efficiency.

LOCKOUT BYPASS OPTION

FOR QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIANS’ USE ONLY. OPERATORS SHOULD NOT USE THIS FEA- TURE DUE TO POSSIBILITY OF EQUIPMENT OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR PERSONAL INJURY.

COMPRESSOR SHORT TERM

CYCLE PROTECTION

During normal operation, this thermostat has a built-in short term (5-minute) time delay. During this 5-minute period, the thermostat will lock out the compressor to allow head pressure to stabilize. If you want to over- ride this feature while testing thermostat operation,

simply press and buttons at the same time.

DO NOT USE THE LOCKOUT BYPASS OPTION UNLESS THE COMPRESSOR OIL HEATERS HAVE BEEN OPERATIONAL FOR 6 HOURS AND THE SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN OPERATIONAL FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES.
