SYSTEM START−UP AND CHECKOUT OPERATIONAL INFORMATION TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING DIAGRAMS THERMOSTAT CONFIGURATION RECORD SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS Read and follow manufacturer instructions carefully. Follow all local electrical codes during installation. All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes. Improper wiring or installation may damage AC/HP Control.
During power loss its internal memory saves settings for unlimited time, and the clock continues to run for at least 24 hours. An extension of Carrier’s proven line of thermostats; it provides separate setpoints for heating and cooling.
The W signal is taken from the Rh power and the G signal is taken from the Rc power. If the thermostat has been installed in a two−transformer application that is later changed to a single−transformer installation, installer must install a field supplied jumper between Rc and Rh.
There are programmable and non−programmable models for all applications. They can be configured for AC or HP installations, allowing it to be used in place of all Carrier thermostats. Programmable thermostats may be configured as non−programmable if user desires. Outdoor Temperature Sensor The outdoor air temperature sensor is not included with the AC/HP Control.
Page 7
A remote temperature sensor may be used with the programmable heat pump and programmable air conditioner thermostats where it is desirable to install the thermostat in a limited access location while measuring the temperature in the living space. The remote room sensor may be used as a stand alone or average with local sensor.
Wiring Wire length should be no more than 250 ft (76m). Use 22 AWG for normal wiring applications. Continuous wire lengths over 100 ft (30.5m) should use 20 AWG or larger. Carton contains the following components. See Fig. 2 for programmable models or Fig.

WHILE IN CONFIGURATION MODE The option number is displayed in the heat setpoint location and the configuration setting is displayed in the cool setpoint location. On the TP−PAC/PHP (programmable) models, a box will surround the option number. The mode button is used to move the box between the two displayed values. The soft keys below the listed values may also be used to move the box between selected values.
Page 27
Defaults HP model defaults to HP. AC model defaults to AC. Option 02 — Clean Filter Timer Select hours of blower operation (heating, cooling, or fan) before CHECK FILTER icon is displayed. With OF selected, icon will never come on, disabling this feature.
Page 28
Fig. 16 − Remote Room Sensor − Parallel Wiring This selection determines which sensor the control will use for measuring room air temperature. Room air temperature can be sensed in one of three ways; the local sensor (L) located on the Display Module, the remote room air sensor (r), or the average of local and remote sensors (Lr).
Page 29
Option 07 — Zoning This selection should be set to On when the thermostat is to be used as part of a zoning system. It is assumed that the zoning equipment will take care of time guard and cycle timers. The minimum on time is still controlled by the thermostat.
Page 30
Default is 0. Option 15 — Enable Auto Mode This selection is not available if the thermostat is configured as Heat Only or Cool Only in Option 1. This allows the homeowner to select auto changeover mode in addition to heat and cool. This allows the thermostat to automatically change between heating mode and cooling mode when sufficient demand for heating or cooling exists.
Page 31
Default is On. Option 16 — Maximum Cycles Per Hour This selection limits the number of cycles per hour that the thermostat allows the system to operate. Selections are 2, 4, 6. 2 — The heating and cooling outputs will be energized no more than 2 times per hour.
Page 32
becomes brighter when a button is pressed. After 10 seconds of no button presses, the backlight will return to the dimmer level until another button press occurs. The range of brightness is 1 through 5 with 5 being full brightness. Default is 3.
Page 33
1 — The user has access to modify setpoints, time of day. 2 — The user has access to change the setpoints only. 3 — The entire keypad is locked. When a button is pressed, the backlight will turn on but none of the operating parameters will be changed. When the keypad lock selection is turned on, the padlock icon will be displayed.
Page 34
Option 22 — High Cool Latch Temperature (only available if outdoor sensor is present) An outdoor sensor is required for high cool latch feature. This selection is only available when Option 1 is set to H2, A2, or h2 and when Option 7 (zoning) is set to OF (off).
Page 35
Default is P (programmable models only). Option 25 — Number of Programmable Periods This selection allows the installer to configure the thermostat for two or four periods per day. Two periods is a common commercial application and four periods is more common for residential. This selection is not available if Option 24 has been set to nP to configure the thermostat for non−programmable...
Page 36
Option 27 — Maximum Heating Setpoint This selection allows the installer to configure the maximum heating setpoint. The range is based on the adjustable deadband value Option 11, such that the minimum of the range is 50_F/10_C and the maximum is 90_F/32_C minus the deadband.
Page 37
Option 32 — Furnace Heat Staging Control (available only when the HP thermostat is configured to operate AC equipment or Heat Only). 1 — Thermostat controls W1 output only and furnace controls the turn on and turn off of higher stages of heat.
Page 38
Default is 1. Option 33 — Single or Two−Piece Installation This configuration allows the thermostat to compensate for the amount of heat generated by the thermostat electronics to allow more accurate sensing of the temperature sensor. The amount of heat compensation will be different between single installation and two−piece installation.

To enable installer test mode, press and hold the fan button for 15 seconds. After 10 seconds, the thermostat will enter Configuration Mode. Continuing to hold the Fan button through 15 seconds will cause the thermostat to enter Installer Test Mode. Pressing the Mode button will change the system operating mode to test the heating and cooling equipment.
TO TEST FAN Fan button switches FAN icon between AUTO and On. While On is displayed, G output will be energized, turning fan on. On some fan coils, fan continues to operate for 90 sec after G signal is removed. Final Settings Be sure to press DONE to exit installer setup mode.

The FAN button may be used to select between AUTO (fan on only with equipment) and On (fan on continuously) fan modes. For further information on temperature selection and programming, refer to Homeowner’s Guide. Setting The Clock, Calendar, Daily Schedule, and Vacation Settings (programmable models only) To set the clock, press the SET button once.
provides temperature protection for the home in the selected mode, but not comfort. When vacation mode is active, an arrow will be displayed beside “VACATION” in the upper left corner of the display. Vacation Setpoints A special set of temperature setpoints exist which are active in vacation mode. They are adjustable by the homeowner, are exclusively for vacation mode, and are remembered from one vacation selection to the next.

10 minute timer has expired. If there is sufficient demand for a higher stage at the end of 10 minutes or at any time after the 10 minute timer has expired, the thermostat will energize the next higher stage.
Three−Minute Minimum on Time In normal operation, when a stage turns on, it will not turn off for a minimum of 3 minutes. If the setpoint is changed, this timer is canceled, allowing the equipment to turn off immediately when the demand is removed. Heat/Cool Setpoints (Desired Temperature) A minimum difference of 1_ and maximum of 6_ is enforced between heating and cooling desired temperatures.
Page 46
Out of the box, the outputs may appear to be On when the thermostat is not powered. This is normal. Output states should only be checked when the thermostat is powered.
To compensate for internal heat build−up from the electronics in the thermostat, the thermostat will add an offset to the actual temperature that it measures. If the thermostat power is cycled quickly, one can witness an immediate increase in the actual temperature displayed due to this added offset.
