Adaptive Recovery Mode (ARM™)

TROUBLESHOOTING

6

This thermostat is equipped with a special feature to maximize your energy savings by

utilizing the most effective source of heating or cooling to meet your program needs during

recovery from setback (or setup) temperatures. Our Adaptive Recovery Mode (ARM™) feature

is designed to automatically calculate when to turn your first stage of your multi-stage

heating or cooling system to meet your upcoming comfort setpoint temperature setting. While

in normal operating mode, this feature will start calculating the start time for your first stage

two hours prior to the upcoming comfort setpoint temperature. During this two hour time

period it will monitor performance and control your system staging requirements. The second

(auxiliary) stages of heating or cooling will be available during this 2-hour period if required to

meet extraordinary heating or cooling requirements.

NOTE:

The installer can reset the thermostat and bypass the compressor protection

features by pressing the RESET button. This will erase all entered programs, current time

of day, day of week and other user settings and should only be used during installation

for testing purposes or to reset a thermostat to regain normal operation. This will return

all thermostat settings to their default values. The user will have to reprogram all of the

erased settings.

Compressor Protection

This thermostat includes an automatic compressor protection feature to avoid potential

damage to the cooling system from short cycling. This thermostat automatically provides a

5-minute delay after turning off the cooling system output to protect the compressor.

Recirculating Fan Mode (see section 4.3)

Low Battery Detection and Replacement

5.7

This thermostat requires two (2) properly installed "AA" alkaline batteries to provide

power for the thermostat to properly control the system operation. This thermostat

is equipped with a low battery detection feature that

constantly monitors the batteries during normal

operating mode to determine whether they have

sufficient power to provide proper operation. When

this feature determines that the battery status is

low, a low battery indicator will appear in the

display. It is recommended that the batteries be

replaced immediately to maintain system operation

and program settings.

SYMPTOM

POTENTIAL SOLUTION

Thermostat does not

turn on heating or

cooling system.

Check to see if

OFF is shown in display. This indicates that the

system is turned off at the thermostat. Move the system selector

switch to the

HEAT or COOL position. After the compressor short

cycle protection 5-minute period expires the system should start

within a minute.
Compressor protection features may be in effect due to

The Recirculating Fan Mode provides more even temperature distribution and improves

indoor air quality by circulating air through the furnace filtration system more often.

The Recirculating Fan Mode can be selected by moving the fan switch to the recirculate

position (

®

). If no call for heating or cooling occurs within the fan off cycle set in

section 4.3, the fan will run for 12 minutes. The highest setting, 120 minutes (factory

default), will run the fan least often – 9% minimum run time. The lowest setting, 40

minutes, will run the fan most often – 23% minimum run time. During any call for

heating or cooling, fan control operates in the AUTO mode. The Recirculating Fan

feature is available in the HEAT, OFF, or COOL mode.
