Installation

Figure 1. Thermostat Base

Set Switches

Fan (Ele/Gas) Switch

For Electric Heat, heat pump or any system that requires the
thermostat to turn on the blower on a call for heat– place the
FAN (Ele/Gas) switch (Fig. 1) in the

ON position. For Auxiliary

and Emergency Heat systems that have a fan control to turn
on the blower (independent of the thermostat) place switch in
the

OFF position.

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).

3. Press

to adjust temperature setting above room

temperature. The cooling system should stop operating.

Emergency System

EMER bypasses the Heat Pump to use the heat source wired
to terminal

W2 on the thermostat. EMER is typically used

when compressor operation is not desired, or you prefer back-
up heat only.
1. Move SYSTEM switch to EMER position, EMER will flash

on the display.

2. Press

to adjust the thermostat above room tempera-

ture. The Aux heating system will begin to operate. The
Flame icon ( ) will display flashing to indicate that the
