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
compressor short cycle conditions, power outages or rolling
blackouts. See Compressor Protection section for full
explanation of this feature.

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.
LED Status Indicator
The LED Status Indicator located on the front of your thermostat above the display will notify
