Operating the Thermostat

Operating The Thermostat

Notes on temperature adjustments:

The COOL setting must always be a minimum of 2° (F or C) higher than the HEAT setting. The thermostat will automatically maintain the 2° difference. For example, if the Cooling set point is 75°F and one changes the Heating set point to 74°F, the thermostat will automatically change the Cooling set point to 76°F.

The lockout icon will appear on the display when attempting to make a change, if the thermostat has been configured to be locked out or the desired change violates the thermostat limits (i.e. lowest allowable HEAT setting is 40°F, highest allowable COOL setting is 90°F, etc.). Lockout configuration can be altered in set-up menu (see the Thermostat Button Lockout section on

page 40).

Selecting the Mode

The thermostat can be set to OFF, COOL, HEAT or COOL (auto-changeover), EM. HEAT (for heat pumps only), and HEAT modes. To set, press the Mode button until the desired mode appears on the display (FIG. 42).

FIG. 42 Mode messages

The following table describes each of the modes:

• OFF

Select the OFF mode to prevent the heating and cooling equipment

 

from operating.

• COOL

COOL appears on the display and only the cooling equipment will be

 

operated to maintain the temperature at the COOL setting. COOL

 

will flash on the main display when the cooling equipment is

 

operating.

• HEAT

HEAT appears on the display and only the heating equipment will be

 

operated to maintain the temperature at the HEAT setting. HEAT will

 

flash on the main display when the heating equipment is operating.

AUTO (heat or cool auto-changeover)

HEAT or COOL appears on the display. Either the heating or cooling equipment will operate to maintain the room temperature at or above the HEAT setting and at or below the COOL setting. HEAT or COOL will flash when the respective equipment is operating.

EMERGENCY HEAT (EM. HEAT for heat pump equipment only)

EM. HEAT appears on the display and only the back-up heat source will be operated to maintain the room temperature above the HEAT setting. This is generally more expensive than using the heat pump (HEAT MODE), so use accordingly. Typical usage is when the heat pump has malfunctioned.
