While in configuration mode:
The display is used to show both the option number and the
selection choice within that option.
OPTION 01 -- ANTICIPATOR ADJUSTMENT
This adjustment controls the sensitivity and cycle rate of the
thermostat. Higher numbers decrease the sensitivity and slow the
cycle rate. Lower numbers increase sensitivity and increase cycle
rate. However, a limiting feature will not allow more than 6
equipment cycles per hour, regardless of setting. Values can range
from 1 to 9. Factory default setting is 3. This default selection will
provide optimum performance in nearly all installations. Try it
first. Do not change setting unless there is evidence of need to do
so.
Unlike conventional anticipators, this setting is not to be
determined by current draw. There is no need to measure, know, or
compensate for current. There is also no droop with this
thermostat, regardless of anticipator setting. This adjustment
controls only sensitivity and cycle rate up to the maximum of 6
cycles per hour.

OPERATIONAL INFORMATION
Five-minute Compressor Timeguard
The cycle timer limits the number of times the heating or cooling equipment can be energized in one hour. If option 1 is set to a value of 1 or
2, the equipment will be allowed to energize up to six times per hour. If option 1 s set to 3 or greater, then the equipment will be allowed to
energize up to four times per hour. This timer is defeated for 1 cycle when the desired temperature is manually changed. It can also be
defeated for 1 cycle by simultaneously pressing the FAN button and the INCREASE TEMPERATURE button.
Cycle Timer
This timer prevents the start of a heating or cooling cycle until at least 15 minutes after the last start of the same cycle. Its function is to assure
that equipment is not cycled more than 4 times per hr. This timer is defeated for 1 cycle when the desired temperature is manually changed. It
can also be defeated for 1 cycle by simultaneously pressing the FAN mode button and the INCREASE TEMPERATURE button.
Staging Timer
In multistage heating or cooling, this timer prevents any higher stage from turning on until the preceding stage has been on for 15 minutes.
This timer is defeated if the temperature error is greater than 5_F/3_C (usually due to a large change in desired temperature).
Three-minute Minimum On Time
In normal operation, when a stage turns on, it will not turn off for a minimum of 3 minutes.
Heat/Cool Setpoints (Desired Temperatures)
A minimum difference of 2_ is enforced between heating and cooling setpoints. This is done by allowing one setting to “push” the other, to
maintain this difference.
Auto Changeover
When the auto changeover mode is selected, a change from heat to cool (or vice versa) will not occur until an opposite mode demand has
existed for 20 minutes. If the setpoint is changed, the 20 minute requirement is deleted. Auto mode may be disabled.
Emergency Heat Mode
When thermostat is configured as a heat pump and emergency heat mode is selected, all Y signals are locked out and W becomes energized
upon a call for heat.
Heat On and Cool On Icons
When a heating or cooling demand exists, the HEAT ON or COOL ON icon will either remain on or flash. If flashing, the equipment is
temporarily prevented from turning on by one of the timers (see above). While the icon remains on without flashing, the equipment is on.
Power On Check
When AC power is first applied, all segments of the display are turned on for a few seconds. Following this, the temperature display indicates
the model/configuration via the following 2 digit code: AC—1--speed air conditioner, HP—1--speed heat pump.
Error Codes
---- — If the thermostat cannot properly read room temperature, the display will indicate ---- (2 dashes) and all outputs (except the fan if on)
will turn off. This is to prevent operation of the equipment if the thermostat has failed.
E2 — If the AC line voltage drops below a minimum (brownout) level, all outputs are turned off and the display indicates E2. This condition
will remain for 15 sec after proper line voltage is restored. If the AC line voltage disappears completely, the display will immediately go
blank.
Thermostat Troubleshooting
SYMPTOM
WHAT TO CHECK
Blank LCD
Check for 24vac between R and C at terminal connections or battery.
Temperature sensor reading out of range. Check sensor for damage. If
recycling power does not clear display, thermostat should be replaced.
