2)Select FA or SL (Fast or Slow) Heat Pump stage Cycle Rate - The FA setting is used to produce shorter heating cycles. The SL setting produces a longer heating/cooling cycle. Both settings produce very accurate temperature control and can be set to your personal preference. FA cycles the system just under .75°F and the SL setting cycles at approximately 1.2°F.

3)Select FA or SL (Fast or Slow) Auxiliary or Emergency Cycle Rate - The FA setting is frequently used for gas, oil or electric heat. The SL setting produces a longer heating cycle.
