| the setpoint above room temperature. Within a few |
|
|
|
|
| seconds the thermostat should make a soft click |
|
|
|
|
| sound. This sound usually indicates the thermo- |
|
|
|
|
| stat is operating properly. If the thermostat does |
|
|
|
|
| not click, try the reset operation listed above. 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, contact the furnace manufacturer or a |
|
|
|
|
| service person to verify the heating is operating |
|
|
|
|
| correctly. |

No Cool |
| 1. | System Switch not set to Cool. |
| Set System Switch to Cool and lower temp below |
|
|
|
|
| room temp. |
|
| 2. | Loose connection to thermostat or system. |
| Verify thermostat and system wires are securely |
|
|
|
|
| attached. |

| the thermostat as described below. If the condition |
|
|
|
|
| persists the manufacturer of your system or |
|
|
|
|
| service person can instruct you on how to test the |
|
|
|
|
| Heat/Cool system for correct operation. If the |
|
|
|
|
| system operates correctly, replace the thermostat. |

Furnace Cycles Too Fast or Too Slow |
| 1. | The location of the thermostat and/or the |
| Digital thermostats normally provide precise |
(narrow or wide temperature swing) |
|
| size of the Heating System may be |
| temperature control and may cycle faster than |
|
|
| influencing the cycle rate. |
| some older mechanical models. A faster cycle |
|
|
|
|
| rate means the unit turns on and off more |
|
|
|
|
| frequently but runs for a shorter time so there is |
|
|
|
|
| no increase in energy use. If you would like to |
|
|
|
|
| increase the cycle time, change the cycle rate to |
|
|
|
|
| “SL” in the configuration menu. It is not possible to |
|
|
|
|
| shorten the cycle time. If an acceptable cycle rate |
|
|
|
|
| is not achieved as received or by changing the |
|
|
|
|
| cycle rate. Contact a local service person for |
|
|
|
|
| additional suggestions. |
Cooling Cycles Too Fast or Too Slow |
| 1. | The location of the thermostat and the size |
| The cycle rate for cooling is fixed and can not be |

Thermostat Does Not Follow Program |
| 1. | AM or PM set incorrectly in program. |
| Check current clock and program settings |
|
| 2. | AM or PM set incorrectly on the clock. |
| including the AM or PM designations for each |
|
| 3. | Voltage spike or static discharge. |
| time period. If a voltage spike or a static discharge |
|
|
|
|
| occurs use the Reset Operation listed above. |
Blank Display and/or Keypad |
| 1. | Voltage spike or static discharge. |
| Replace batteries and check heat/cool system |
Not Responding |
| 2. | Battery change required. |
| for proper operation. If a voltage spike occurs use |
|
|
|
|
| the Reset Operation listed above. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clock Loses or Gains Time |
| 1. | Loss of power to thermostat and low batteries. |
| The thermostat will maintain its program in |
|
|
|
|
| memory even with no power/no batteries but the |
|
|
|
|
| clock time will be incorrect when power is |
|
|
|
|
| restored. See No Heat/No Cool/No Fan (common |
|
|
|
|
| problems) above for items to check in the system. |
|
