COMPRESSOR OFF DELAY
Installer table, step 11 is available if the fossil fuel kit alternative option (PUMP OFF) is selected.
This item allows a selection of 0 to 99 seconds, which is the time that the compres- sor will continue to run after the point that the auxiliary heat is energized. Running the compressor after the Auxiliary has started prevents cool air from creating drafts prior to the heat exchanger reaching normal tempera- tures. The factory default value of 60 seconds is typical for most systems. Consult with your equipment’s manufacturer before increasing this time.
BALANCE POINT TEMPERATURE
Installer table step 12, bPT, is available only if the fossil fuel kit option is selected and the outdoor temperature sensor is used (see the user menu in the owner manual).
This item allows a selection of 5 to 50° F, which is the outdoor temperature below which the thermostat will not energize heat pump compressor stages. It will use Auxiliary heat stages (only) until the outdoor temperature raises 3° above the selected temperature and then allow compressor stages to operate. The factory default value of 35° F is typical for most systems.
BALANCE POINT
Installer table step 13, bP, is available only if the fossil fuel kit option is selected and the outdoor temperature sensor is not used. The Balance Point influences when second stage comes on. The factory default creates approximately 1° F between stages. Increas- ing the setting decreases the separation between stages. Decreasing the value increases stage separation. This adjustment allows a small change in the operation of your heat pump system versus your auxiliary system relative to the thermostat adjustment.

PROGRAMMABLE BLOWER BALANCE POINT
Installer table step 14, bbP, is available only when configured for Heat Pump systems, and wired as shown in Fig. 3.
If the system is running a high percentage of the time due to cold weather conditions, the output vent air temperature may be cooler than normal thus creating a drafty room condition. This feature will reduce the draft by lowering the blower speed with the DHM terminal. The lower speed will make the air temperature slightly warmer and more comfortable.
Example: If you want the blower to go to a lower speed when the system is running greater than 50% of the time,then reduce the Blower Balance Point to 50%.
To turn this feature OFF, press to 99 then press once more to display OFF.
COMPRESSOR LOCKOUT.
(Installer table step 15). This thermostat is capable of helping to protect the system against premature compressor failure by “locking out” the compressor for at least five minutes after each cycle. When the thermo- stat is in compressor lockout, the word COOL will flash on the display. With heat pump systems, the word HEAT will flash if the lockout occurs during a heat cycle. During this period, the compressor will not be energized.
COMFORT ALERT WITH ACTIVE PROTECTION.
(Installer table step 16). The Comfort Alert diagnostics product diagnoses system and electrical problems in the air conditioning outdoor systems with single phase Copeland Scroll compressors. Abnormal conditions are indicated by flashing ALERT codes on the yellow LED on the Comfort Alert module. The flash codes are transmitted to the thermostat by the Comfort Alert Thermostat interface module. The Comfort Alert compatible thermostat displays a CHECK SYSTEM icon that flashes at the same rate as the yellow ALERT LED on the Comfort Alert
Stage separation 1˚F at setting 05
module. Turn this feature ON to achieve active protection, enabling the thermostat to identify certain fault codes when compressor damage is possible and react to those codes by turning the compressor off.
Lockout Bypass Option
FOR QUALIFIED SERVICE TECH- NICIANS’ USE ONLY. HOMEOWNERS SHOULD NOT USE THIS FEATURE DUE TO POSSIBIL- ITY OF EQUIPMENT OR PROP- ERTY DAMAGE, OR PERSONAL INJURY.
COMPRESSOR SHORT TERM CYCLE PROTECTION
If this thermostat has been configured to provide short-cycle protection, during the 5-minute lockout period the thermostat will lock out the compressor to allow head pressure to stabilize. To override this feature for one cycle while testing thermostat operation, press SET TIME and SET DAY buttons at the same time.
If the system has short-cycle protection, this item should not need to be enabled. How- ever, if your system does not have short- cycle protection, turn COMP LOCK ON. This will protect the compressor from short- cycling and potential premature compressor failure.
Note that COMP LOCK OFF permanently disables compressor lockout. If you need to temporarily disable compressor lockout,
please see Lockout Bypass Option.
DISABLING AUTOMATIC
CHANGEOVER MODE.
(Installer table step 17). This thermostat, as configured at the factory, provides automatic changeover, which allows the thermostat to switch between heating and cooling to maintain temperature. In this configuration, when you press the SYSTEM button, the thermostat will go through HEAT-OFF- COOL-AUTO modes (HEAT-EMER-OFF- COOL-AUTO for heat pumps). Select HEAT(-EMER)-OFF-COOL to disable the automatic changeover feature.
