Compressor

Short-Cycle Protection.

Your thermostat can be configured to protect your system against premature compressor failure by “locking out” the compressor. This ensures that the compressor will stay off for at least five minutes on each cycle. When the thermostat is in compressor lock-out, the word COOL will flash. During this period, the compressor will not be energized. See installation and configuration, page 18, step 6.

Air Filter

Change-Out Indicator.

This feature allows the thermostat to display the words CHNG FLTR (change filter) after a set time of fan operation. This is a reminder to change or clean your air filter. The factory set interval for CHNG FLTR to be displayed is 200 hours of fan opera- tion. This can be set anywhere from 0

to 1950 hours in 25 hour increments. A selection of 00 will cancel this feature.

When CHNG FLTR is displayed, you can clear it by pressing the HUM/ FLTR SERVICE button. This resets the timer and starts counting the hours until the next filter change.

The following steps will allow you to change the number of hours for filter change-out.

1.If you see CHNG FLTR on the display, press the HUM/FLTR SERVICE button once to reset the timer. If you do not see CHNG FLTR proceed to step 2.

On a 7–Day thermostat, when the HUM/FLTR SERVICE button is pressed twice, the display will show the number of hours remaining before CHNG FLTR indicator will display.
