  • Page 6: About Heat Pumps

    These are called air-source, ground-source, or water-source heat pumps, respectively. The RC-101 is capable of controlling all of these types of heat pumps. In extremely cold conditions, the heat pump may require assistance from another source of heat, known as "auxiliary heating".

If the heat pump is unable to heat at this rate, the RC-101 will use the auxiliary heat to supplement that of the heat pump. Under these conditions, the heat pump will run continuously and the auxiliary heat will cycle on and off as needed.
