Thermostat Operation
Though your thermostat may vary somewhat from the
description below, its operation will be similar.
Temperature Setting Levers
Most heat hump thermostats have two temperature selector
levers: one for heating and one for cooling. Set the levers
or dials to the desired temperature setpoints for both heating
and cooling. Avoid frequent temperature adjustment; turning
the unit off and back on before pressures equalize puts stress
on unit compressor.
Fan Switch
In AUTO or INT (intermittent) mode, the blower operates
only when the thermostat calls for heating or cooling. This
mode is generally preferred when humidity control is a priority.
The ON or CONT mode provides continuous indoor blower
operation, regardless of whether the compressor or auxiliary
heat are operating. This mode is required when constant
air circulation or filtering is desired.
System Switch
Set the system switch for heating, cooling, or auto operation.
The auto mode allows the heat pump to automatically switch
from heating mode to cooling mode to maintain
predetermined comfort settings. Many heat pump
thermostats are also equipped with an emergency heat mode
which locks out heat pump operation and provides temporary
heat supplied by the auxiliary heat.
Indicating Light
Most heat pump thermostats have an amber light which
indicates when the heat pump is operating in the emergency
heat mode.
Temperature Indicator
The temperature indicator displays the actual room
temperature.
Programmable Thermostats
Your system may be controlled by a programmable
thermostat. These thermostats provide the added feature
of programmable time-of-day setpoints for both heating and
cooling. Refer to the user's information manual provided
with your particular thermostat for operation details.
