ARROW buttons, set the desired space temperature setpoint. Remember, heating will begin
once the space temperature has fallen 3 degrees below the set point. When in Heat Mode,
the thermostat determines the heating operation according to a preprogrammed switch-over
temperature.
When in HEAT mode, the unit will operate in Heat Pump mode until the outdoor temperature
falls below the preprogrammed limit of 50 degrees. The unit will automatically switch to
Electric Auxiliary Heat until the outdoor temperature rises above 50 degrees.

Pressing the FAN button, allows the user to switch Fan Modes from AUTO to ON. In AUTO
Mode, the fan will turn on and off as the unit cycles in Cooling or Heating Mode. In ON Mode,
the fan will run continuously.

The unit breaker will trip at 50 Amps, while the Auxiliary Heat Module is protected by a separate
40 Amp breaker, located behind the Blower Cover Panel. The control access cover and blower
access panel will need to be removed to gain access to the heater breaker as shown on Page 7.
