Testing The Heating/Cooling System - Honeywell ADEMCO 4500 User Manual

Testing the Heating/Cooling System

To be sure the heating/cooling system is maintaining the room
temperature at the set-back point you have programmed by phone,
test the system as follows:
1. Be sure that the 4500 thermostat is in the ACTIVE mode using its front
panel slide switch. Refer to page 3 if in doubt.
2. Be sure that the ACTIVE LED turns on, and is not flashing.
•
A flashing LED indicates a problem with the wiring to the
4500 thermostat).
•
A "Check Thermostat" announcement on the phone is also an
indication to call for servicing of the 4500 thermostat.
3. Arm the security system in the ARMED AWAY mode and leave
the premises.
When you return home or by calling home while away, verify that the
temperature inside the premises closely matches the set-back point
initially programmed. Be sure that sufficient time has been allowed
for the premises ambient temperature to stabilize. If the 4500
thermostat is not maintaining temperature as was programmed, first
review the "ARMED AWAY" set-back point using the phone, and
then check if the pre-existing thermostat is working as described in
the next section.
If both thermostats are not working, call your heating/air conditioning
service company for servicing of your system. If only the 4500
thermostat is not working properly, immediately set its front panel
switch to BYPASS, thereby using the pre-existing thermostat to
control your heating and cooling system, and call your alarm
installation or service company for service.
