C. When the room ambient is equal to or greater than a 2.0 F. deviation from
the thermostat set point, the thermostat will energize the first stage of that
specific mode.
D. Upon a continued set point deviation of 3.0 F. or greater, the second
stage of the specific mode will be energized. When the demand recovers to 2.0
F. or less from set point, the second stage is released. When the demand
recovers to 1.0 F. or less from set point, the first stage is released.
1. DIGIHP heat pump thermostat only: When the room ambient is 4.0 F or
greater from the thermostat set point, the thermostat will energize the third
heat stage. When the demand recovers to within 3.0 F. from set point, the
stage will be released.
