Balance Point Set-Up
Balance points limit heat pump operation when the outdoor temperature is too high or too low. It requires an
optional support module with an outdoor temperature sensor. Consult a qualified HVAC service technician
before changing any of the values in this Sub-Me nu (Sub-Menu not shown).
These values are adjustable, but are only used by the thermostat when it has been configured to operate as a
heat pump, and when a remote outdoor temperature sensor (with address #1) is wired to the thermostat (see the
Heat Pump Applicationssection on page 37 for details ).
Display Set-Up
Here the temperature scale can be changed to °C or °F, and the temperature settings can be setup to always
display or only when being changed (FIG. 38). The message display, when not being used for Thermost at Set-
Up will, by default, scroll through three messages showing the status of the mode, fan, and equipment output.
A fourth, date and time, can also be displayed in the scroll list.
