FAN ON indicates the fan is set to operate continuously.

 

 

LOCKOUT

The lockout setting shows the thermostat buttons have been locked out and the

 

thermostat settings can not be changed at the thermostat.

 

 

ROOM TEMPERATURE

Shows the current room temperature. The temperature can be displayed in °F or

 

°C. This would show relative humidity (%) if the thermostat has been installed

 

with an optional humidity control sensor.

 

 

REMOTE TEMPERATURE/

A temperature and/or a relative humidity value will be displayed alternately here

RELATIVE HUMIDITY

when an optional remote temperature and/or humidity sensor has been installed

 

(typical use is for outdoor temperature).

 

 

NETWORK OVERRIDE

When NETWORK OVERRIDE is displayed, the thermostat has been taken off-

 

line from the system. The thermostat can then only be operated at the

 

thermostat.

 

 

NETWORK STATUS

This computer icon shows the thermostat is connected to the system. The icon

 

will flash when the thermostat sends or receives information. If there is no

 

activity on the system for 15 minutes the icon will be crossed out. This does not

 

mean the thermostat is unable to communicate, only that there has been no

 

communication to this thermostat in 15 minutes.
