THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION

WIRING
Refer to equipment manufacturer’s instructions for specific system wiring information. After wiring, see INSTALLER MENU for proper thermostat configuration. Wiring table shown are for typical systems and describe the thermostat terminal functions. Wiring will change when dedicated emergency heat is on (See Installer Menu #15).

O/B
6 (not shown) – 3 wire zone valve| Reversing Valve or output for 3 wire zone valves
Configurable as “O” or “B” Reversing Valve or 3 wire zone heat (power close)
Y| 1st Stage Compressor (conventional or heat pump)
G| Fan Relay
W/E| 1st Stage Heat (conventional);
1st Stage Auxiliary Heat (heat pump) Can operate as Emergency Heat only
(See Installer Menu #15)
C| Common wire for 24V (optional with batteries)
L| Heat Pump Malfunction / Diagnostic terminal (input signal requires common)
Y2| 2nd Stage compressor (conventional only)
W2| 2nd Stage Heat (Conventional)
Can operate as 1st Stage Auxiliary Heat (See Installer Menu #15)

Precautions

• Do not exceed the specification ratings.
•  All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes and ordinances.
•  This control is a precision instrument, and should be handled carefully. Rough handling or distorting components could cause the control to malfunction.

WARNING
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage.
Higher voltage will damage control and could cause shock or fire hazard.
Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary control to test. Short or incorrect wiring will burn out thermostat and could cause personal injury and/or property damage.
CAUTION
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage, disconnect electrical power to system, at main fuse or circuit breaker box,until installation is complete.
CAUTION
To prevent compressor and/or property damage, if the outdoor temperature is below 50°F,
DO NOT operate the cooling system.
Do not allow the compressor to run unless the compressor oil heaters have been operational for 6 hours and the system has not been operational for at least 5 minutes.

INSTALLER MENU

To prevent changes that may affect system performance, this thermostat has an INSTALLER MENU and a USER MENU. The INSTALLER MENU provides access to every option, while the USER MENU provides access to items that will not affect system performance. To access the INSTALLER MENU press the Menu button for 8 seconds. The display will show item 05 in the table below. Use Next and Back to navigate through menu items. Press to change a menu setting.

If the thermostat does not click after being reset, contact your heating and cooling service person or place of purchase for a replacement. If the thermostat clicks, contact the furnace manufacturer or a service person to verify the heating system is operating correctly.

TROUBLESHOOTING (C0ntinued)

2.)Loose connection to thermostat or system
3.)Cooling System requires
service or thermostat requires replacement| 1.)Set thermostat to Cool.
2.)Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached.
3.)Diagnostic: Set System to Cool and lower setpoint below room temperature. Same procedures as diagnostic for “No Heat” condition except set the thermostat to Cool and lower the setpoint below the room temperature. There may be up to a five minute delay before the thermostat clicks in Cooling if the compressor lock-out option is selected in the installer menu. (see INSTALLER MENU, item 50)
Heat, Cool or Fan Runs Constantly| Possible short in wiring, thermostat, heat, cool or fan system| Check each wire connection to verify they are not shorted or touching other wires. Try resetting the thermostat. If the condition persists contact your HVAC service person.
Thermostat Display & Thermometer Disagree| Thermostat display requires adjustment| Display can be adjusted +/-5°. See User Menu item 05
Furnace (Air
Conditioner)
Cycles Too Fast or Slow (narrow or wide temperature swing)| The location of the thermostat and/ or the size of the Heating System may be influencing the cycle rate| Digital thermostats provide precise control and cycle faster than older mechanical models. The system turns on and off more frequently, but runs for a shorter time. If you would like to increase cycle time, choose SLO for slow cycle in the Installer menu. (Reference menu items 30, 32 & 35.) If an acceptable cycle rate is not achieved, contact your HVAC service person.
“Call for Service” icon appears on displayed| 1.)Heating system is not able to heat the space to within 10 degrees of the setpoint within 2 hours
2.)Cooling system is not able to cool the space to within 10 degrees of the setpoint within 2 hours
3.)If “–” is displayed for the Room Temperature, a replacement thermostat is needed
4.)None of the buttons operate on the thermostat
5.)If “Call for Service” is flashing, compressor self diagnostic is detecting an issue with the outdoor unit| 1.)See corrective action for “No Heat”
2.)See corrective action for “No Cool”
3.)Replace thermostat
4.)Make sure keypad lockout is not turned on (S ), If it’s OFF, try reset shown below.
5.)Contact a service person to verify the outdoor equipment is operating correctly

Resetting the Thermostat or Thermostat Settings
If the thermostat has good batteries, but has a blank display or does not respond to key presses, the thermostat should be reset by removing the batteries for 2 minutes. This reset will not change the menu settings or program. If the condition persists after reinstalling the batteries, replace the thermostat.
To conveniently reset only the schedule and user settings back to factory defaults, press Menu and Backlight buttons at the same time and hold until the display goes blank and resets.
