the thermostat has power, has been reset and still does not
function correctly contact your heating/cooling service person
or place of purchase.
Corrective Action
Replace fuse or reset breaker.
Turn switch to ON.
Replace door panel in proper position to engage safety
interlock or door switch.
Set System Switch to Heat and raise setpoint above room
temperature.
Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached.
Diagnostic: Set System Switch to Heat and raise the
setpoint above room temperature. Within a five minutes
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, con-
tact the furnace manufacturer or a service person to verify
the heating system is operating correctly.
Set System Switch to Cool and lower setpoint below room
temperature.
Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached.
Same procedure 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 configuration
menu (Item 4).
Check each wire connection to verify they are not shorted
or touching together. No bare wire should stick out from
under terminal screws. Try resetting the thermostat as
described below. 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.
Item 2 in the Configuration Menu is the adjustment that
controls the cycle rate. If an acceptable cycle rate is not
achieved using the FA (Fast) or SL (Slow) adjustment con-
tact a local service person for additional suggestions.
The cycle rate for cooling is fixed and can not be adjusted.
Contact a local service person for suggestions.
The thermometer can be adjusted +/- 4 degrees as listed
in item 5 of the Configuration Menu. No other adjustment is
possible.
If a voltage spike or static discharge occurs use the Reset
Operation listed above.
If switch is present, it must be in HP position for proper fan
operation. If selection appears in Configuration Menu, it
must be set for HP.
