Message display

Two types of messages are displayed, Permanent and Temporary Messages.

 

• Permanent Messages are those that scroll continually during thermostat

 

operation.

 

• Temporary (flashing) Messages are intended to catch your eye and must be

 

reset to be removed from the display.

 

Thermostats are shipped with default (permanent) status messages (i.e. mode

 

status, fan status, equipment status).

 

 

Scroll/Set-up buttons

The Scroll/Set-Up buttons function with the set-up features of the thermostat

 

(see theSet Up and Configuration section on page 39). These buttons are

 

located beneath the faceplate.

 

 

Main LCD display

The MAIN DISPLAY (see FIG. 16 on page 23) provides the mode status, tem-

 

perature and system status information.

 

 

Mode button

Five modes of operation are available: OFF, COOL, HEAT, AUTO, and EM.

 

HEAT (for heat pumps only). The mode of operation indicates how you want

 

your heating and cooling equipment to operate. This button is located beneath

 

the faceplate.

 

 

Fan button

The fan can be operated continuously (FAN ON) or only when there is a need to

 

heat or cool. This button is located beneath the faceplate.

 

 

Enter button

The Enter (or Network Override) button is used to override the home automation

 

system, to clear temporary flashing messages on the message display and with

 

the set-up features of the thermostat.

 

 

Adjust buttons

The Adjust buttons adjust the heating and cooling temperature settings.
