Corrective Action
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.
1. Re-light pilot.
2. Set System Switch to HEAT and raise setpoint above room temperature.
3. Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached.
4. Many furnaces have safety devices that shut down when a lock-out condition occurs. If the heat
works intermittently, contact the furnace manufacturer or local service person for assistance.
5. Diagnostic: Set System Switch to HEAT and raise the setpoint above room temperature.
Within a few seconds, the thermostat should make a soft click sound. This sound usually
indicates the thermostat is operating properly. If the thermostat does not click on,
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 is operating correctly.
1. Set System Switch to COOL and lower setpoint below room temperature.
2. Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached.
3. 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 fi ve minute
delay before the thermostat clicks in Cooling.
1. – 4. Check each wire connection to verify they are not shorted or touching together. No bare
wire should stick out from under terminal screws. 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.
Digital thermostats normally provide precise temperature control and may cycle faster
than some older mechanical models. A faster cycle rate means the unit turns on and off
more frequently but runs for a shorter time so there is no increase in energy use. If you
would like to increase the cycle time, go to menu mode as mentioned in the instructions
for Hydronic Heating Systems. It is not possible to shorten the cycle time. If an acceptable
cycle rate is not achieved as received or by changing cycle time from FAST to SLOW on the
menu mode, contact a local service person for additional suggestions.
The cycle rate for cooling is fi xed and cannot be adjusted. Contact a local service person
for suggestions.
The thermometer can be adjusted +/- 4 degrees. See Select Temperature Display
Adjustment (#5 in the Confi guration Menu section).
1. Check possible blown fuse or tripped breaker.
2. Turn system power off. Wait for 5 minutes and turn the power on.
