Set Switches
Gas / Elec Switch
If your system is a heat pump, the GAS/ELEC Switch must
be set to ELEC (see Fig. 1) If your system is a single stage,
the switch must be set to GAS. The switch setting must agree
with the system configuration selected in the configuration
menu.
O/B Terminal Switch Selection
The O/B switch on this thermostat is factory set to the “O”
position. This will accommodate the majority of heat pump
applications, which require the changeover relay to be
energized in COOL. If the thermostat you are replacing or the
heat pump being installed with this thermostat requires a “B”
terminal, to energize the changeover relay in HEAT, the O/B
switch must be moved to the “B” position.
Check Thermostat Operation
Heating System
1. Move SYSTEM switch to HEAT position. If the heating
system has a standing pilot, be sure to light it.
2. Press to adjust thermostat setting to 1° above room
temperature. The heating system should begin to operate.
3. Press to adjust temperature setting below room
temperature. The heating system should stop operating.
Fan Operation
If your system does not have a G terminal connection, skip to
Heating System.
1. Move SYSTEM switch to OFF position.
2. Move fan switch to ON position. The blower should begin
to operate.
3. Move fan switch to AUTO position. The blower should stop
immediately.
Cooling System
1. Move SYSTEM switch to COOL position.
2. Press to adjust thermostat setting below room
temperature. The blower should come on immediately on
high speed, followed by cold air circulation. However, if the
setpoint temperature is flashing, the compressor lockout
feature is operating (see Configuration menu, item 5).

temperature. The cooling system should stop operating.
