INTRODUCTION The SC-T32-TS is a feature-rich touchscreen thermostat that can be battery powered or hardwired to the HVAC equipment. Using a common sense approach to the installation will ensure this product is installed properly and to the customer’s satisfaction. Please take time to read and understand this manual so that installation and testing is performed in an efficient manner.
As with any HVAC project, careful installation is the key to a successful outcome. Time taken during the installation process will be rewarded with fewer call-backs. The steps required to install the SC-T32-TS thermostat are as follows. 1. Read and understand this Installation Manual and User Manual.
INSTALLING THE THERMOSTAT DISASSEMBLY There are two release slots located on the bottom of the thermostat. Gently push the flat blade of a small screwdriver into one slot at a time and pry upward until the catch disengages. Carefully swing the thermostat upward and away from the subbase.

SETTING THE SYSTEM SWITCHES The thermostat contains a set of four system switches located on the thermostat printed circuit board. (Figure 3) The switches are used to match the thermostat operation and relay outputs with the HVAC system requirements. Refer to the system switch functions on the next page to properly configure the thermostat.
SYSTEM SWITCH FUNCTIONS Switch 1 - Equipment Type Switch 1 sets the equipment type. For conventional heat/cool equipment, set the switch to the OFF position (factory default). For heat pump equipment set the switch to the ON position. Switch 2 - Fan or When Switch 1 is OFF Reversing Valve For gas heat, set the switch to the OFF position...
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES The thermostat comes with two AA batteries. Even if the thermostat is hardwired, battery backup is recommended to maintain the real-time clock in the event of a power failure. All other memory is non-volatile in the event of battery or primary power loss.

Next Back Range = OFF - 0-50 degrees in 1 degree increments.
INSTALLER SETUP MENU TIMED VENTILATION HIGH TEMPERATURE LIMIT Menu 29 is used to select a high outdoor temperature limit when a remote outdoor sensor is installed. If the temperature is higher than or equal to the selected value, Timed Ventilation is suspended. Menu 29 is only displayed if thermostat is fitted with an outdoor sensor.
INSTALLER SETUP MENU DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME Menu 30 is used to enable or disable Daylight Saving Time (DST). In areas of the country where DST is not observed, the feature can be disabled. Touch the DOWN arrows to change the selection. Next Back 1 = DST (Factory Default)
REMOTE SENSOR INSTALLATION REMOTE SENSOR TYPES The thermostat can accommodate both an indoor and outdoor remote sensor. For indoor applications, the SC-T-S1 remote sensor can be wired to the thermostat terminals. Each sensor contains two thermistors wired in series with a switch to select one or both sensors. This reduces the total number of sensors required for series/parallel temperature averaging.
SC-T-OTS OUTDOOR SENSOR INSTALLATION When the SC-T-OTS is wired to the SC-T32-TS, it will display the outside air temperature as well as control high and low balance points for heat pump or dual fuel systems. Refer to the SC-T-OTS installation guide for additional information.

TESTING FAN OPERATION Touch Mode until the word is displayed. Touch FAN until the words Always On appear. After a brief moment, the internal fan relay ‘G’ will energize and the system fan should operate. Touch again until the word Automatic appears.
TESTING Note: On a call for cooling, the thermostat activates a 3 minute time delay before the cooling relay ‘Y1’ is energized. Mode will flash to indicate the thermostat is in time delay. After the time delay, the internal fan ‘G’ and cooling relay ‘Y1’ will energize.
TESTING DUAL FUEL When the thermostat is configured for dual fuel operation, testing is the same as a heating and cooling system with the exception that a 3 minute time delay is activated before the ‘Y1’ compressor relay will energize on a call for heating or cooling.
TESTING To test the low balance point setting, set Option 16 above the displayed outdoor temperature and force a call for heating. Only the auxiliary heat relay ‘W1’ should energize. After testing, reset the low balance point setting to a normal operating range.
TESTING the designated time. PROGRAMMABLE FAN Programmable Fan (Installer Option 04 = 0) is used to program the fan operation along with the thermostat schedule. This is a very convenient feature that allows selecting continuous (Always ON) or Automatic fan operation for each scheduled event.

AUXILIARY CONTACTS The auxiliary dry contacts can be used with the Programmable Fan feature when the Programmable Fan Option 04 is ON. They can also be used for Timed Ventilation when Option 05 is set to 3. Timed Ventilation is designed to improve residential indoor air quality by introducing fresh, outside air through a 2-wire, power open / spring closed motorized intake damper controlled by the thermostat.
TIMED VENTILATION SETUP The reference chart below provides the ventilation timer setting (Installer Option 27) based on using 8” rigid straight duct with friction loss of 0.1” w.g. per 100 ft. This chart can be used for most applications. VENTILATION TIMER SETTING (MINUTES PER HOUR) THREE FOUR FIVE...
BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOM POSSIBLE FAULT AND REMEDY No LCD display If the thermostat is battery powered only, remove the battery compartment and check to see that the positive (+) and negative (-) ends of each battery are oriented properly. Also make sure that the thermostat is securely attached to the subbase with no exposed gaps.
