Remove Old Thermostat
Before removing wires from old thermostat, mark wires for terminal
identification so the proper connections will be made to the new thermostat.
Installing New Thermostat
- Pull the thermostat body off the thermostat base. Forcing or prying on the thermostat will cause damage to the unit.
- Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole locations on wall using base as a template.
- Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes. If you are using existing mounting holes and the holes drilled are too large and do not allow you to tighten base snugly, use plastic screw anchors to secure the base.
- Fasten base snugly to wall using mounting holes shown in Figure 1 and two mounting screws. Leveling is for appearance only and will not affect thermostat operation.
- Connect wires to terminal block on base using appropriate wiring schematic.
- Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire resistant material (such as fiberglass insulation) to prevent drafts from affecting thermostat operation.
- Carefully line the thermostat up with the base and snap into place.
Battery Location
2 “AA” alkaline batteries are included in the thermostat at the factory with a
battery tag to prevent power drainage. Remove the battery tag to engage the
batteries.
To replace batteries, set system to OFF, remove thermostat from wall and
install the batteries in the rear along the top of the thermostat (see Figure
1). For best results, use a premium brand “AA” alkaline battery such as
Duracell® or Energizer®. If the home is going to be unoccupied for an extended
period (over 3 months) and is displayed, the batteries should be replaced
before leaving.
Power Stealing Switches
The Power Stealing Switches (Fig. 1) should be left in the “On” position for
most systems. The information in the following table details the thermostat
power method and switch options.
Thermostat Power Method | Switch Position/Description |
---|---|
Battery Powered, no 24 Volt system power available. | Switches “On” , |
thermostat runs on batteries.
Hardwired with Battery Back-up, for 24 Volt systems with common
connection from transformer to “C” terminal on thermostat.| Switches “On”
, thermostat runs on power directly from transformer with battery back- up.
*Battery Powered with Power Stealing Assist, for 24 Volt systems with no
common connection from
transformer to “C” terminal on thermostat.
| Switches “On” , thermostat runs on batteries and supplemental power drawn through the heat or cool circuit.
*Power Stealing Assist is very reliable to increase battery life, but on a small number of heating or cooling systems with high impedance electronic modules you may observe one of the following conditions:
- The furnace draft inducer motor may run with no call for heat.
- The furnace fan may turn on with no call for heat or may not turn off.
- The furnace may not turn off when the call for heat ends.
- The air conditioner may not turn off when the call for cool ends.
If the Power Stealing Assist method is not compatible with your system, place
the Power Stealing Switches to “Off”. This cancels Power Stealing Assist,
operates the thermostat on batteries and corrects the condition.

Select Fast Second Stage, ON or OFF – Not available if configured for SS1. Selecting FA ON forces additional heat stages to come on quickly when is used to raise the temperature a few degrees above the room. Select this setting if you want the heat to increase quickly when you manually raise the temperature. Selecting FA OFF allows the thermostat to calculate an optimal time to bring on additional stages of heat. When the is used to raise the setting above the room temperature additional heat stages may come on very quickly or very slowly (up to 30 minutes later) depending on recent system performance. Select this setting if you do not require the additional heat stages to come on quickly when you manually raise the setting and want to allow the thermostat to stage based on recent system performance.
The Fast Cool feature operates the cooling stages in the same manner as Fast Heat, On or Off when the temperature is lowered below the room setting. -
Select Remote Temperature Sensor Enabled – ON enables a remote sensor connected to thermostat and displays the sensor temperature in the clock digits.
OFF (default) indicates no remote sensor connected or enabled. -
Select Remote Sensor as Indoor or Outdoor – If 30 is enabled, select the remote to be Remote In (Indoor, F145-1328) or Outdoor Remote (Outdoor, F145-1378). Default is Remote In.
-
Select Local Sensor Disable – If 31 is selected Indoor, the thermostat Local Sensor can be disabled so the displayed temperature will be from the Remote Sensor. Default is On LS. To disable the Local Sensor, change selection to OFF LS.
-
Select Dual Fuel Feature (dF) – This feature is applicable only in heat pump modes (HP1, HP2). Enables (On) or disables (Off) dual fuel feature of thermostat.
-
Select Dual Fuel Temperature – With dF selected On and outdoor remote sensor available, select the outdoor temperature the thermostat will use to determine when to switch to gas heat and shut down the compressor.
When the outdoor temperature falls below the selected temperature the gas heat will begin. Default is 35°, but can be set in the range of -5 to 50°. A lower setting will delay the start of gas heat allowing cooler temperature in the home. -
Select Dual Fuel Setting – With DF selected On and no outdoor sensor, select the dF setting from 01-09. Factory default is 05. The dF setting influences when second stage comes on. The factory default creates a separation of approximately 1°F between stages. Increasing the setting decreases the separation between stages. Decreasing the value increases stage separation. This adjustment allows a small change in the operation of your heat pump system versus your auxiliary system relative to the thermostat adjustment. The higher the number the sooner the auxiliary stage energizes for better comfort. The lower the number the longer period of time before auxiliary is energized for more economy.
Note: This setting is not minutes or degrees. It is numeric setting that will influence the internal thermostat calculation for staging. -
Select Compressor Delay (Cd) – After the auxiliary heat is turned on, the compressor(s) shut down is delayed for the time selected (in seconds). This delay is factory set to 60, but can be set in the range of 0 to 99.
-
Select Auxiliary Off (AO) – Applicable with HP1 or HP2 selected with outdoor sensor. Select the temperature that will inhibit the auxiliary heating stage. As long as the outdoor temperature is above the selected temperature, the auxiliary heat will not turn on. The default setting is 80°(disabled), but can be set in the range of -5 ° to 79°. Thermostat will not allow a setting at or below the (dF) dual fuel setting.
If indoor temperature drops below 45° because of a possible heat pump malfunction, the thermostat will turn off the pump and switch to Auxiliary heat. “Call for Service” will display on screen. There are two ways the thermostat will return to normal heat pump operation:- Press any key to retry the pump and erase the “call for service icon.
- When setpoint is achieved on Auxiliary, system will return to heat pump operation on next call for heat.

Wired Remote Temperature Sensing
One remote temperature sensor can be installed indoor or outdoor and connected
to the thermostat by a maximum cable length of 100 meters (300 feet).
Terminals +, S and – on the terminal block allow connection of the remote
sensor. The thermostat must have 24 VAC Common connection to terminal C for
the remote sensor to operate. The remote sensor can be enabled or disabled in
the Installer/Configuration menu, item 29.
When remote sensor, Remote, is selected Off (factory default), no remote
sensor is enabled. When remote sensor is selected On, the next step is to
select the remote as indoor, Remote In, or outdoor, Outdoor Remote. If the
remote is selected as Remote In, an additional step will be to select
if the temperature shown on the display will be from the thermostat, LS On, or
the remote sensor LS Off.
In normal operation, when a remote sensor is enabled the time digits of the
display will alternate between the time and the remote temperature for three
seconds each. Above the remote temperature will be Remote, for indoor sensor
or Outdoor Remote, for outdoor sensor. If the remote sensor is an indoor
sensor and the local display has been disabled, the temperature displayed as
the room temperature will be the remote sensor temperature.
Sensing Range:
- Outdoor temperature range is -40oF to 140oF
- Indoor temperature range is 32oF to 99 oF
Averaging or Weighting Remote Sensors
The thermostat will weight or average the temperature of the indoor remote
sensor with the local sensor in the thermostat for each program period. The
averaging will be active only when the local sensor and the indoor remote
sensor are both functional and enabled in the Installer/Configuration menu.
When the thermostat is in the Set Schedule mode, the weight of the indoor
sensor will be shown in the current temperature digits of the display. The
weight will show as A2 (average and default), H4 (high) or L1 (low). Pressing
the and keys at the same time will change the weight for the program period.
The weight of the thermostat sensor is fixed.
In normal operation of the thermostat, the current temperature displayed will
be the weighted average of the local sensor and the remote sensor using the
formula (local sensor weight x local sensor temperature) + (remote sensor
weight x remote sensor temperature) / (local sensor weight + remote sensor
weight).
Example: Local sensor temperature is 80° and the remote sensor is 70°.
- If weight is selected H4, the averaged temperature of 72° will be displayed.
- (1 x 80) + (4 x 70) / 5 = 72°
- If weight is selected A2, the average temperature of 73° will be displayed.
- (1 x 80) + (2 x 70) / 3 = 73.3°
- If weight is selected L1, the average temperature of 75° will be displayed.
- (1 x 80) + (1 x 70) / 2 = 75°
The example shows that the weight selected would prioritize the overall averaged temperature between the two sensors. The high weight selection caused the remote sensor to have a higher influence in the calculated temperature average than the local sensor and the low weight selection caused the remote sensor to have less influence.
Dual Fuel Temperature Setpoint
When the thermostat is configured for Heat Pump mode
and the Dual Fuel feature is selected on, the thermostat can monitor the
outside temperature using remote sensor F145-1378 or use software logic to
determine when to switch to gas heat and shut down the compressor. This
eliminates the need for a fossil fuel kit.
The user selectable temperature is called the dual fuel temperature setpoint,
dF and is set in the Installer/Configuration menu, items 33 or 34. With
outdoor remote sensor installed and enabled, the dual fuel temperature
setpoint (menu item 33) can be set to a temperature of -5° through 50°. When
outdoor remote sensor is not installed, a software logic based dual fuel
number (menu item 34) from 01 to 09 can be selected. A higher temperature or
dual fuel setting will provide a smaller stage separation between the heat
pump and Aux to give more comfort. A lower temperature or number will provide
a larger stage separation for more economy.
After the dual fuel temperature setpoint is set and is pressed, a delay, Cd,
can be set for compressor shutdown after the auxiliary stage is energized.
This delay can be set from 0 seconds to 99 seconds to minimize the time that
the system may blow cooler air until the alternate source of heat comes on.
Default setting for delay is 60. When setting the delay, if the keys are held
depressed, the setpoint will increase or decrease at the rate of one degree
every half second for the first three seconds and double the speed after three
seconds.
Blower Balance Point for Heating
Requires DHM connection from thermostat to heat pump system. Air to air heat
pumps use a fast fan speed to circulate warm air for first stage heating. As
outdoor temperatures drop, the heat pump produces less heat and a high fan
speed makes the air from the ducts feel cooler. Blower Balance Point allows
you to select an outdoor temperature to slow the fan speed so the air from the
duct feels warmer. Select an outdoor temperature where the air from the ducts
starts to feel cool (Installer Configuration Menu item 37).
When the outdoor temperature drops to the selected temperature, the thermostat
will slow the fan speed so the outlet air feels warmer.
Comfort Alert Codes
The Comfort Alert diagnostics product monitors the air conditioning outdoor
systems with single-phase Copeland Scroll compressors. Abnormal system and
electrical conditions are indicated by flashing ALERT codes on the yellow LED
on the Comfort Alert module. The flash codes are transmitted to the thermostat
by the Comfort Alert Thermostat interface module. The Comfort Alert compatible
thermostat displays “Call For Service” that flashes at the same rate as the
yellow LED on the Comfort Alert module.

Reset Operation
Note: If a voltage spike or static discharge blanks out the display or causes
erratic thermostat operation, you can reset the thermostat by removing the
thermostat from the wall plate and removing batteries for 2 minutes. After two
minutes, replace the batteries and replace thermostat on wall plate. If the
thermostat has been reset and still does not function correctly contact your
heating/cooling service person or place of purchase.
Symptom | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
---|---|---|
No Heat/No Cool/No Fan (common problems) |
- Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.
- Furnace power switch to OFF.
- Furnace blower compartment door or panel loose or not properly installed.
- Loose connection to thermostat or system.
| Replace fuse or reset breaker. Turn switch to ON.
Replace door panel in proper position to engage safety interlock or door switch.
Tighten connections.
No Heat|
- Pilot light not lit.
- Furnace Lock-Out Condition. Heat may also be intermittent.
- Heating system requires service or thermostat requires replacement.
| Re-light pilot.
Many furnaces have safety devices that shut down when a lock-out condition occurs. If the heat works intermittently contact the furnace manufacturer or local HVAC service person for assistance.
Diagnostic: Set SYSTEM Switch to HEAT and raise the setpoint above room temperature. Within a few seconds the thermostat should make a soft click sound. This sound usually indicates the thermostat is operating properly. If the thermostat does not click, try the reset operation listed above. 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 HVAC service person to verify the heating is operating correctly.
No Cool|
- Cooling system requires service or thermostat requires replacement.
| Same 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.
Heat, Cool or Fan Runs Constantly|
- Possible short in wiring.
- Possible short in thermostat.
- Possible short in heat/cool/fan system.
- FAN Switch set to Fan ON.
| Check each wire connection to verify they are not shorted or touching
together. No bare wire should stick out from under terminal block. Try
resetting the thermostat as de- scribed above. If the condition persists the
manufacturer of your system or service person can instruct you on how to test
the Heat/Cool system for correct operation. If the system operates correctly,
replace the thermostat.
Thermostat Setting & Thermostat Thermometer Disagree|
- Thermostat thermometer setting requires adjustment.
| The thermometer can be adjusted +/- 4 degrees. See Temperature Display
Adjustment in the Configuration Menu section.
Furnace (Air Conditioner) Cycles Too Fast or Too 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 so there is no increase in energy use. If you would like an
increased cycle time, choose SL for slow cycle in the Configuration menu,
step 7 (heat) or 8 (cool). If an ac-ceptable cycle rate is not achieved,
contact a local HVAC service person for additional suggestions.
