Minimum Off-Timing

Your thermostat comes equipped with a minimum off-timer. At certain times during cooling, the system will not start up again for at least five minutes after it turns off (com- pressor is off and can’t be heard). This occurs when you change the SYSTEM switch position while the compressor is off or when you change the temperature setting, causing the compressor to turn off. The minimum off- timer is also triggered during power interrup- tion and power restoration. You will know the minimum off time is in effect by a flashing

or on the display.

CAUTION

Equipment Damage Hazard. Can cause permanent damage to the compressor or other equipment. To avoid possible equipment damage, do not operate cooling when outside temperature is below 50°F (10°C). See equipment manufacturer instruc- tions. To avoid possible compressor damage, allow the compressor to remain off for five minutes before restarting.
