ture. The auxiliary heating system will stop immediately and
the first stage will stop within three to four minutes.

°

2. Press

NOTE

CAUTION

!

LOCKOUT BYPASS OPTION

FOR QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIANS’ USE
ONLY. OPERATORS SHOULD NOT USE THIS FEA-
TURE DUE TO POSSIBILITY OF EQUIPMENT OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR PERSONAL INJURY.

COMPRESSOR SHORT TERM

CYCLE PROTECTION

This thermostat has a built-in short term (5-minute)
time delay. During this 5-minute period, the thermo-
stat will lock out the compressor to allow head pres-
sure to stabilize. If you want to override this feature

while testing thermostat operation, simply press

and

buttons at the same time.

DO NOT USE THE LOCKOUT BYPASS OPTION
UNLESS THE COMPRESSOR OIL HEATERS HAVE
BEEN OPERATIONAL FOR 6 HOURS AND THE
SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN OPERATIONAL FOR AT
LEAST 5 MINUTES.

If the fan is running but the compressor is not running and the
word COOL is flashing, the compressor lockout feature is
operating (see Lockout Bypass Option to temporarily
override the compressor lockout feature during testing).

3. Press

to adjust temperature setting above room tempera-

ture. The cooling system should stop operating.

During normal operation, the second stage of heat or cool may
take 15 to 30 minutes to turn on. The delay varies depending on
the performance of the first stage. Typically the second stage will
come on sooner in more severe weather, while in milder weather
it will take longer. There is no adjustment to this feature, as it is
designed to maximize both comfort and efficiency.
