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).
| Terminal Designations | Terminal Function |
| RC | Power (24V) - Cooling |
| RH | Power (24V) - Heating |
| O/B (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.
RC/RH Jumper Wire
This thermostat electrically connects the RC and RH terminals so a jumper wire is not required. If the application provides a separate wire for RC and RH, clip the RC/RH jumper. This will isolate both terminals so they can be independently used.
Battery Location
Premium AA alkaline batteries are required when C-wire is not available. When C-wire is available, the batteries provide a back-up source of power (this will maintain the clock in the event of a power outage).
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 $\boldsymbol{\Delta}$ or $\boldsymbol{\nabla}$ to change a menu setting.
| Installer Menu # (Hold Menu 8 Seconds) | Description | Default Setting (flashing icons) | Settings (Press $\boldsymbol{\Delta}$ or $\boldsymbol{\nabla}$) |
| 05 | Outdoor Equipment: selects air conditioner (AC) or heat pump (HP) equipment as well as the number of stages | AC2 | AC0, AC1, AC2, HP1 |
| 10 | Indoor Equipment: selects whether the equipment is a gas furnace, electric furnace or fan only | EL2 | FAN, GA1, GA2 (conventional only), EL1, EL2 (conventional only) |
| 15 | Dedicated Emergency: W/E only operates in Emergency Aux mode. W2 becomes 1st stage Aux. Heat | OFF | On, OFF |
| 20 | O,B or 3 Wire Zone Valve Selection | 0 | 0, B, 3 |
| 30 | Heat Cycle Rate: how often the heat will turn on | MEd | SLO - slow, MEd - medium, FAS - fast |

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 not set to Heat 2.) Loose connection to thermostat or system 3.) Heating System requires service or thermostat requires replacement |
1.) Set thermostat to Heat. 2.) Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached. 3.) Diagnostic: Set System 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 not set to Cool 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 ($\boldsymbol{\Delta}$). 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.
