for approximately 10 seconds until the display goes blank. If
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 at-
tached.
Diagnostic: Set System Switch to Heat and raise the set-
point above room temperature. Within a five minutes the
thermostat should make a soft slick 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, contact the furnace manufacturer or a service per-
son 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 at-
tached.
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 configura-
tion menu (Item 5).
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 de-
scribed 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 3 (CR Heat) or 4 (CR Cool) 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 contact a local service person
for additional suggestions.
The thermometer can be adjusted +/- degrees as listed in
item 7 of the Configuration Menu. No other adjustment is
possible.
If a voltage spike or static discharge occurs use the Reset
Operation listed above.
