Stage Settings

When configured as a heat pump thermostat, by default the RC-1000 is configures for two states of heat (auxiliary heat is included in this number). If the heat pump is not equipped with auxiliary heat, the Heat Stages setting may be set to one (in this configuration, auxiliary will never be used).

EEC Control

The EEC Settings are used to configure Energy Efficient Control, Cool Anticipator, and Auxiliary Heat Differential. Not all of these features apply to all thermostat configurations. Only the features that apply to the current configuration (based on the System Type) of the thermostat will be available when this menu is selected.

This thermostat is equipped with Energy Efficient Control (EEC) that continually monitors the performance of the HVAC system.

On heat pump systems, EEC allows the RC-1000 to use auxiliary heat only when necessary. If it determines that the heat pump is able to heat at a rate of 5 degrees per hour or better, the auxiliary heat will not be used. If the heat pump is unable to heat at this rate, the thermostat will use the auxiliary heat as needed. Under these conditions, the heat pump will run continuously and the auxiliary heat will cycle on and off as needed.

EEC: This item turns on/off the Energy Efficient Control. On conventional HVAC systems, EEC enables the PID control algorithm.

Cool Anticipator: This adjusts the tendency of the HVAC to run the cooling system to refresh and dehumidify the air before the temperature rises to the desired cool settings. The recommended setting for most forced air cooling systems is 4. A higher number will decrease the tendency to run the cooling system below the cooling setting. A higher setting of 5 or 6 may be desired in dry climates.
