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.
| Terminal Designations | Terminal Function |
|---|---|
| R | Power (24V) |
| O/B | Changeover Terminal-Energized in Cool (O) or Heat (B) for Heat Pump or Damper Systems |
| Y | Heat and Cool Mode 1st Stage Compressor |
| G | Fan Relay |
| E* | Auxiliary only Heat Mode (Emergency Heat) |
| C | Common wire for 24V (optional with batteries) |
| L | Heat Pump malfunction / Diagnostic terminal (input signal requires common) |
| W2* | Heat Mode - 2nd stage |
*Cut W2/E jumper when separate heat sources are used for W2 and E.
IMPORTANT: For Dual Fuel Heat Pump applications, be sure to turn on the Duel Fuel Logic option (found in the Installer's Menu)
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 handing 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.

| 03 DL | Continuous Display Light (keep the backlight always on – “C” wire required) | OFF | On - always on OFF - momentarily |
| 04 | Change Air Filter (set up a monthly reminder) | OFF | 1 to 12 - reminder time (months) OFF - no filter reminder |
THERMOSTAT OPERATION
Set Current Time and Day
Note: Time icons will flash at initial power up or after a reset.
- Press Set Time
- Use ▲ or ▼ to adjust the hour
- Press Next to advance to set the minutes and day of the week
- Press Exit when finished.
The default program is 5-1-1 Day, but can be setup as a 7-Day or Non-Programmable thermostat (refer to the User Menu above)
Hold Temperature (bypassing the schedule) – With the System Switch set to Heat or Cool, momentarily press the Hold button. Hold will be displayed. Use ▲ or ▼ to adjust the temperature. The thermostat will hold the room temperature at the selected setting until you press Run to start program operation again.
Program Override (Temporary Hold) – Press ▲ or ▼ until the desired temperature is displayed. The thermostat will override the schedule until the next programmed time period with a minimum override of 2 hours. Then the thermostat will automatically revert to the program.
Keypad Lockout – To prevent unwanted changes, the buttons can be disabled. To turn this feature On, press and hold ▲ and the Menu button until the ? icon appears. To turn Off, press and hold ▲ and the Menu button for 3 seconds.

TROUBLESHOOTING
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
|---|---|---|
| No Heat/ No Cool/ No Fan (common problem) |
1.) Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker 2.) Furnace power switch to OFF 3.) Furnace blower compartment door panel loose or not properly installed 4.) Loose connection to thermostat or system |
1.) Replace fuse or reset breaker 2.) Turn switch to ON 3.) Replace door panel in proper position to engage safety interlock or door switch 4.) Tighten Connections |
| No Heat | 1.) System Switch not set to Heat 2.) Loose connection to thermostat or system 3.) Heating System requires service or thermostat requires replacement |
Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached. Diagnostic: Set System Switch to Heat and raise the setpoint above room temperature. Within five minutes the thermostat should make a soft click sound and “Heat On” should appear on display. This sound indicates the thermostat is operating properly. If the thermostat does not click, try the reset operation listed below. 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. |
| No Cool | 1.) System Switch not set to Cool 2.) Loose connection to thermostat or system 3.) Cooling System requires service or thermostat requires replacement |
Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached. Diagnostic: Set System Switch 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 04 |
| 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 & 35) If an acceptable cycle rate is not achieved, contact your HVAC service person. |
| “Call for Service” icon appears on display | 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 (denoted by ? icon) 5.) Contact a service person to verify the 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.
