   O or R	O	Reversing Valve (Cooling)
   B	B	Reversing Valve (Heating)
   L or X	L	System Status LED
   C, X or B	C	24 Volt AC, Transformer Common

4. After labeling and removing all wires from terminals, unscrew the existing thermostat sub-base from wall. Make sure to secure wires to prevent them from slipping back into the hole in the wall.

NOTE: This thermostat is for use on low voltage 24 Volt AC multi-stage heat pump systems with up to two stages of heating and two stages of cooling and requires a transformer common wire for proper installation. This thermostat is not for use on single stage heating or cooling systems.

Installing Your New Thermostat

NOTE: If you are installing this thermostat in a new installation be sure to locate the thermostat 4 to 5 feet above the floor in accordance with applicable building codes. Make sure to install the thermostat in a location that provides good airflow characteristics and avoid areas behind doors, near corners, air vents, direct sunlight or near any heat generating device. Installation in any of these areas could impact thermostat performance.

1. Always turn off power to the air conditioning or heating system prior to installing thermostat.
2. Place system switch on front of thermostat to OFF position.
3. Place fan control switch on front of thermostat to AUTO position.
4. Remove front of thermostat from sub-base by pressing release latch on bottom of thermostat.
5. Place the thermostat sub-base against wall in the desired thermostat location.
6. Guide thermostat wires through center hole in sub-base. Continue to hold against wall.
7. Mark placement of mounting holes and drill using a 3/16" drill bit. Gently tap supplied plastic anchors into the holes in the wall.
8. Place the sub-base against the wall in the desired location, making sure the mounting holes are aligned and the thermostat wires are properly inserting through opening in sub-base.
9. Fasten the sub-base to wall using supplied screws.
10. Connect wires to quick wiring terminal block as appropriate using the new terminal designations. Refer to Wiring Diagram section of this manual if required for assistance.
11. Make sure all of the wire connections are secure and are not touching any other terminal to prevent electrical shorts and potential damage to the thermostat.
12. Turn the front thermostat body over, exposing the rear view of the circuit board.
13. Locate the internal ˚F / ˚C switch on the circuit board.
14. Using your finger, gently flip the switch toward the preferred temperature ˚F / ˚C scale.
15. Locate the auxiliary heat option switch, AE-AG, on the circuit board. For electric auxiliary heat units the switch should be set to the AE position. For units with gas or oil auxiliary heat, move the switch to the AG position. This will lock out the compressor stage 1 minute after a second stage heat call for maximum efficiency.
16. Attach front body of thermostat to sub-base, being careful to align the terminal pins on the front body with the terminal block on the sub-base.
17. Restore system power so you can test installation.

TESTING YOUR NEW THERMOSTAT

Read BEFORE Testing

• Do not short (or jumper) across terminals on the gas valve or at the heating or cooling system control board to test the thermostat installation. This could damage the thermostat and void the warranty.
• Do not select COOL mode of operation if the outside temperature is below 50˚ F (10˚ C). This could possibly damage the controlled cooling system and may cause personal injury.

NOTE: Test your thermostat prior to programming any user settings. Pressing the RESET button will erase any user entries previously programmed. This will erase all user settings and return them to their default values.

1. Place the system switch in the HEAT position.
2. Press the button on the keypad until the set point temperature setting is a minimum of 3 degrees higher than the current room temperature. The heating system should start within several seconds. The fan may not turn on immediately due to the heating system built-in fan delay.
3. Place the system switch in the OFF position. The heating system should stop within several seconds.
4. Wait 5 minutes for the automatic compressor short cycle protection period to expire, or press the RESET button to bypass this feature for initial testing purposes. Pressing the RESET button will erase any user entries previously programmed.
5. Place the system switch in the COOL position.
6. Press the button on the keypad until the set point temperature is a minimum of 3 degrees lower than the current room temperature.
7. The cooling system should start within several seconds. Place the system switch in the OFF position. The cooling system should stop within 90 seconds (dependent on the setting of the Residual Cooling Fan Feature).
8. Place the fan switch in the ON position. The system blower should start.
9. Place the fan switch in the AUTO position. The system blower should stop.

PROGRAMMINGUSER SETTINGS

Default Thermostat Settings

Setting Temperature Differentials

The default settings for the first and second stage differentials and residual cooling fan delay settings are compatible with most systems and applications. This is normally set at time of installation and usually does not require any modification under normal operating conditions. If you feel that the first or second stage of your system is turning on too often, or you wish to change the fan delay settings, simply follow the instructions below.
NOTE: The first and second stage differential settings are the same for both the heating and cooling systems.

Setting First Stage Differential
The default setting is.5˚ F (0.25˚ C). The room temperature must change.5˚ F (0.25˚ C) from the set point temperature before the thermostat will initiate the system in heating or cooling.

1. In normal operating mode, press and hold the and buttons at the same time for 4 seconds. LCD display will show "SET D1 X˚", where "X" equals the ˚F / ˚C differential setting. This is the current first stage differential setting.
   
2. Press the or button to set the first stage differential to your desired setting of.5˚, 1˚, or 2˚ F (0.25˚, .5˚, or 1˚ C).

NOTE: If you do not desire to change the second stage differential setting, you can press the and buttons at the same time twice to proceed to the Residual Cooling Fan setting–see step 4.3.

Setting Second Stage Differential
The default setting is 2˚ F (1.0˚ C). This means that the room temperature must change 2˚ F (1.0˚ C) in addition to the first stage differential setting before the thermostat will initiate the second stage of the system in heating or cooling.

3. Press the and button at the same time again and the LCD display will show "SET D2 X˚", where "X" equals the ˚F / ˚C differential setting. This is the current second stage differential setting.
   
4. Press the or button to set the second stage differential to your desired setting of 2˚, 3˚, 4˚, 5˚, or 6˚ F (1.0˚, 1.5˚, 2.0˚, 2.5˚, or 3.0˚ C).

Setting Residual Cooling Fan Feature

The default setting is 60 seconds. During the COOL mode of normal operation the fan will stay on for 60 seconds after the cooling system has satisfied the set point temperature and has turned off the compressor. This allows the system to provide higher efficiency during cooling operation.

1. Press the and buttons at the same time again and the LCD display will show "SET FAN XX", where "XX" equals the fan delay time in seconds during the cooling mode of operation.
   
2. Press the or button to set the residual cooling fan delay to your desired setting of 0 (disabled), 30, 60, or 90 seconds.
3. Press the and buttons at the same time again to set the Recirculating Fan off cycle or wait 5 seconds and the thermostat will automatically return to normal operating mode.

Setting the Recirculating Fan Cycle

The default is 120 minutes.

1. The display will show "SET OC XXX", where XXX is the maximum interval of time (in minutes) that the fan will remain off if the Recirculating Fan Mode is selected.
   
2. Press the or button to change the Recirculating Fan off cycle (120, 60, or 40 minutes).
3. Press both the and buttons at the same time again to return to the normal operating mode, or wait 5 seconds for the thermostat to return to the normal mode automatically.

NOTE: To erase all user program settings, gently press the RESET button using a paper clip or a small pencil tip. This will return all thermostat settings to their default values, and erase all user program settings entered by the user.

ADDITIONAL OPERATION FEATURES

Review Set Temperature

1. Press and hold the or button. The current set point temperature will be displayed in the place of the current room temperature, and the indicator SET TEMP will be displayed.
   
2. The display will return to normal operating mode when the or button is released. Continuing to hold the or button for 3 seconds or longer will allow the user to change the current set point temperature (See Changing Set Temperature).

Changing Set Temperature

1. Press and hold or button for 3 seconds. The entire display will flash once and the SET TEMP indicator will be flashing. Release the or button and press the or button again as desired to adjust the set temperature.
   
2. The display will return to normal operating mode after 5 seconds.
3. The TEMP indicator will be showing in the display indicating that the current temperature shown in the display is the room temperature.
   

Recirculating Fan Mode

The Recirculating Fan Mode provides more even temperature distribution and improves indoor air quality by circulation air through the furnace filtration system more often. The Recirculating Fan Mode can be selected by moving the fan switch to the recirculate position . If no call for heating or cooling occurs within the fan off cycle set in section 4.4, the fan will run for 12 minutes. The highest setting, 120 minutes (factory default), will run the fan least often–10% minimum run time. The lowest setting, 40 minutes, will run the fan most often–30% minimum run time. During any call for heating or cooling, fan control operates in the AUTO mode. The Recirculating Fan feature is available in the HEAT, OFF, or COOL mode.

Keypad Lockout

To prevent accidental or undesired adjustment of the thermostat set point, the Keypad Lockout feature disables the operation of the temperature setting keys, but not the backlight key. In order to enable the keypad lock, press and hold either the or button together with the backlight button for 5 seconds. The LOCK icon in the display will flash once per second, then appear continuously in the display. The keypad is now locked.
To unlock the keypad, press and hold either the or button together with the backlight key for 1 second. The LOCK icon will disappear from the display, and the keypad is now unlocked.

Auxiliary Heat Fossil Fuel Switch

The Model 3200 is equipped with an auxiliary heat option switch which is set at installation for either an electric or fossil fuel (gas, oil or propane) auxiliary heat source. For heat pump units with an electric auxiliary stage, both the first and second stages of heating will run when a call for second stage heat is made. For heat pump units with a fossil fuel auxiliary stage, the first stage will be locked out one minute after a second stage heat call, and the second stage alone will be used to recover to the set point, improving the efficiency of your heat pump unit.

Compressor Protection

This thermostat includes an automatic compressor protection feature to avoid potential damage to the heat pump system from short cycling. This thermostat automatically provides a 5-minute delay after turning off the heating or cooling heat pump output to protect the compressor.
NOTE: The installer can reset the thermostat and bypass the compressor protection features by pressing the RESET button. This will erase all user program settings and should only be used during installation for testing purposes or to reset a thermostat to regain normal operation. This will return all thermostat settings to their default values.
The user will have to re-program all of the erased settings.

Resetting Thermostat

The Reset feature allows the user to completely reset the thermostat. To erase all entered program settings, gently press the RESET button using a paper clip or a small pencil tip. This will return all thermostat settings to their default values and register all new manual switch settings.

Multi-Colored LED Status Indicators

The three multi-colored LED status indicators located on the front of your thermostat above the display will notify you of key system information.
AUX (Green): This will turn on when the auxiliary second stage of heating is active. The auxiliary stage of heating is usually the least economical stage of heat.
CHECK (Red): Indicator will activate when a malfunction occurs in the heat pump system.
When this light is active, call a professional service technician to verify system performance and switch the system to Emergency Heat Mode if required to maintain room temperature.
EMER (Red): This indicator will light when you select Emergency Heat Mode of operation using the system selector switch. When you select Emergency Heat Mode, the heat pump stage of heat is turned off and the emergency (auxiliary) stage of heating is used to maintain the set point temperature.
