Operation Instructions
Initial Setup
1. Turn Off Power: Always turn off power to the heating/air conditioning system prior to installing or adjusting the thermostat.
2. Configure System:
- Hold MENU for 5 seconds to enter installer settings.
- Use NEXT (HOLD) to advance, BACK (PROG) to go back, up/down arrows to change values.
- Set options like PROG MODE, DEG, DIF1, DIF2, CSCP, REC, FILTER, HOLD, OVERRIDE, SEC, REV VALVE.
- Exit with MENU.
Operating the Thermostat
1. System Mode: Select COOL, OFF, HEAT, EMER using the SYSTEM switch. EMER activates auxiliary heat only.
2. Fan Mode: AUTO or ON using the FAN switch.
3. Temperature Setpoint: Use up/down arrows to adjust; OVERRIDE for temporary, HOLD for extended override.
4. Programming: Press PROG to enter, select day/group, set time and temperature for MORN, DAY, EVE, NITE events. Use SpeedSet by holding PROG for 3 seconds.
5. Display: Shows current time, temperature, program event, system status (HEAT ON, COOL ON, AUX ON), fan status, SERVICE FILTER.
Note: Adaptive Recovery starts system early to reach setpoint by program time. Compressor protection delays restart. In EMER mode, heat pump is bypassed.
Temperature Display Adjustment
Configure temperature scale (°F/°C) in installer settings under DEG. No direct calibration; accuracy is +/-1°F. Use separate thermometer for verification if needed.
Troubleshooting
- No Display: Check batteries or 24V power, polarity.
- No Heat/Cool: Verify system mode, setpoint, wiring, short cycle delay.
- Fan Constant: Check fan mode, wiring.
- Erratic Operation: Check voltage, batteries, reset by removing batteries/power for 2 minutes.
- Low Battery: Battery symbol appears; replace batteries.
- Service Filter: Reminder after set days; reset in user settings.
- CHECK Indicator: System issue (L terminal active); contact technician.
- Reset: Remove batteries/power for 2 minutes to reset.
