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-Menu (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 Applications section on page 37 for details).

Balance Point Options

LOW BALANCE POINT

the outdoor temperature below which compressor terminals will not be energized.

 

 

HIGH BALANCE POINT

the outdoor temperature above which the auxiliary heat terminal will not be ener-

 

gized in the HEAT mode (does not effect Emergency Heat operation).

 

 

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 Thermostat 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.
