CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION

If at any time during testing your system does not operate properly, contact a qualified service person.

Turn on power to the system.

Fan Operation

If your system does not have a G terminal connection, skip to Heating System.

1.Move fan switch to ON position. The blower should begin to operate.

2.Move fan switch to AUTO position. The blower should stop immediately.

Heating System

1.Move SYSTEM switch to HEAT position. If the auxiliary heating system has a standing pilot, be sure to light it.

2.Press to adjust thermostat setting to 1° above room teemperature. The Heat Pump system should begin to

operate. However, if the Flame icon () and Snowflake icon () are flashing, the compressor lockout feature is operating (see Configuration menu, item 7).

3.Adjust temperature setting to 4° above room temperature. The auxiliary heat system should begin to operate and the Flame icon will be flashing.

4.Press to adjust temperature setting below room tem- perature. The heating system should stop operating.

Emergency System

EMER bypasses the Heat Pump to use the heat source wired to terminal E on the thermostat. EMER is typically used when compressor operation is not desired, or you prefer back-up heat only.

1.Move SYSTEM switch to EMER position, EMER will flash on the display.

2.Press to adjust the thermostat above room tempera- ture. The Aux heating system will begin to operate. The Flame icon ()will display flashing to indicate that the Aux system is operating.

3.Press to adjust the thermostat below room tempera- ture. The Aux heating system should stop operating.

Cooling System

! CAUTION

To prevent compressor and/or property damage, if the outdoor temperature is below 50°F, DO NOT operate the cooling system.

1.Move SYSTEM switch to COOL position.

2.Press to adjust thermostat setting below room tem- perature. The blower should come on immediately on high speed, followed by cold air circulation

3.Press to adjust temperature setting above room tem- perature. The cooling system should stop operating.

! CAUTION

Do not allow the compressor to run unless the com- pressor oil heaters have been operational for 6 hours and the system has not been operational for at least 5 minutes.

OPERATION

Before you begin programming your thermostat, you should be familiar with its features and with the display and the location and operation of the thermostat buttons. Your thermostat con- sists of two parts: the thermostat cover and the base. To remove the cover, pull it straight out from the base. To replace the cover, line up the cover with the base and press until the cover snaps onto the base.

THE THERMOSTAT BASE

Other than and , the following buttons and switches are located on the bottom of the thermostat cover (see fig. 5).
