Checking HVAC System Operation

Use the thermostat buttons to verify that the thermostat is controlling the equipment operation. A checkout procedure is supplied in the installation instructions supplied with thermostat. This procedure will verify only that the thermostat operates the equipment.

The HVAC installer may need to connect 24VAC to the R and C terminals to check HVAC operation. If the automation system is to be installed after the HVAC installation, leave the R and C terminals connected to ensure the HVAC system operates. If the automation system is installed before either the placement of HVAC wiring or an external power supply is used, then do not connect HVAC wires to R and C.

When the thermostat is first turned on all of the graphics of the main LCD are momentarily displayed; this will look like FIG. 16.
