Optional Settings For Additional Thermostat Features
The Model 8556 thermostat is equipped with 8 DIP switches located inside the thermostat on the printed circuit board. These switches are preset by the factory to typical home heating and cooling system requirements. The installing contractor also reviewed the settings during installation to be sure the thermostat will operate properly with your heating and cooling system.
The DIP switches can however be changed to customize the thermostat’s operation to your particular needs. This should only be done after consulting with your contractor.
The Model 8556 DIP switches control the following functions:
No. 1 – 4 or 2 Events Per Day. The switch is factory preset for 4 events per day; Morning, Day, Evening, and Night. If it is more convenient you can select a
No. 2 – Smart Fan. The thermostat is factory preset with the Smart Fan option off. This allows the system fan to operate normally with the heating and cooling equipment. If the Smart Fan option is turned on by placing the DIP switch in the ON position when the Fan button on the thermostat is pushed (indicated by the fan icon on the display), the system fan will run continuously during the Morning, Day, and Evening events. During the Night event, the fan will automatically revert to cycling on and off with the heating and cooling equipment.
