Temperature Sensors
The Temperature Sensor settings are used to configure the internal temperature sensor and an optional remote
temperature sensor that is connected to the thermostat. When the internal sensor is enabled and the external
sensor is set to “Indoor”, the displayed temperature will be the average temperature of the two sensors.
Internal Sensor: This will enable or disable the onboard temperature sensor for indoor use only. *Enabled
External Sensor 1: This will enable the external temperature sensor for indoor or outdoor use. Indoor
temperatures are averaged between the sensors. *Disabled
Balance Setpoints (Dual Fuel Heat Pump)
The Balance Setpoints are used to determine when the auxiliary heat is used in a dual fuel heat pump system
If the outdoor temperature is above the “Upper Balance Setpoint” (45°F by default), the heat pump is used
exclusively.
If the outdoor temperature falls below the “Upper Balance Setpoint” but is above the “Lower Balance
Setpoint” (35°F by default) and if the heat pump is unable to heat at a rate of 5 degrees per hour or better,
the heat pump will turn off and the auxiliary heat will be used until the temperature rises above the “Upper
Balance Setpoint” or the call for heat has been satisfied.
If the outdoor temperature falls below the “Lower Balance Setpoint”, the heat pump will turn off and the
auxiliary heat will be used until the call for heat has been satisfied.
