Why does the system run with the | In cooling, as the room temperature falls you will eventually reach the setpoint tem- | |||
setpoint and room temperature the | perature. The system will continue to run until it reaches the low side of the tempera- | |||
same? | ture setting. As an example: If set to 78 degrees with the room temperature falling the | |||
| thermostat will continue to call for cool as the temperature decreases in the following | |||
| manner. 78.9, 78.8, 78.7, 78.6, 78.5, 78.4, 78.3, 78.2, at approximately 78.2 the | |||
| thermostat will quit calling for cool. This is why it is not unusual for the room tempera- | |||
| ture and set temperature to read the same but the system continues to run. The | |||
| amount of time it takes for the system to shut off is dependent on system sizing, | |||
| thermostat location, etc. Note: The thermostat display only displays whole numbers. | |||
| Internally the thermostat calculates decimals. | |||
| In heating as the room temperature increases the system will continue to run until the | |||
| thermostat reaches the high side of the temperature setpoint. | |||

How do I temporarily Override the | Any time your program is running and you would like to override it for a specific | |||
amount of time, press | or | until the temperature you want is displayed. The | ||
program and Hold Til Timing? | ||||
display will indicate HOLD, and the number of hours remaining in the hold period will | ||||
| ||||
| be indicated with the word HRS. To adjust the length of time for the override, press | |||
| TIME FWD or TIME BACK. The time you select will become the new number of hours | |||
| for the Hold Til timing. Once your time is selected, let the thermostat revert back to | |||
| normal operation on its own to accept the change. | |||

What is the thermostat Click Test? | Many furnaces have safety devices that shut the system down when a | |||
| condition occurs in the furnace. If the thermostat is turned off or the call for heat is | |||
| cancelled (by lowering and then raising the set temperature) the furnace may start | |||
| operating again. A diagnostic to see if the thermostat is operating when the room | |||
| temperature is below the thermostat setting (in heat) is to lower the setting below the | |||
| room temp. Within about 3 seconds the thermostat should make a soft click sound. | |||
| This sound is the thermostat turning off the call for heat and usually indicates the | |||
| thermostat is operating properly. If the thermostat does not click you would be | |||
| suspicious of the thermostat and try resetting it by following it’s reset operation. If the | |||
| thermostat does not click after being reset contact your heating and cooling service | |||
| person or place of purchase for a replacement. If the thermostat clicks and the heat | |||
| works intermittently contact the furnace manufacturer or local service person. They | |||
| will want to observe the condition when it is not working. | |||
| You can raise and lower the temperature a few degrees above and below the room | |||
| temperature and each time expect to hear the thermostat click on and off within a few | |||
| seconds. If it clicks, it is operating properly. | |||
