   09/2020   11-HD17D1-1C-EN

but can be set in the range of -5 ° to 79°. Thermostat will 
not allow a setting at or below the (dF) dual fuel setting. 
If indoor temperature drops below 45° because of 
a possible heat pump malfunction, the thermostat 
will turn off the pump and switch to Auxiliary 
heat. “Call for Service” will display on screen. 
There are two ways the thermostat will return to normal 
heat pump operation:

 

• 

Press any key to retry the pump and erase the   “call 
for service icon.

 

• 

When setpoint is achieved on Auxiliary, system will 
return to heat pump operation on next call for heat.

From this point on screen reference numbers are specific to 

either the 302 or the 303 model

38. (303 ONLY)  Select Programmable Blower Balance Point 

(bP) – Applicable with HP1 or HP2 selected, dF On with 
outdoor sensor. Requires DHM connection from thermostat 
to heat pump system. This feature de-energizes the DHM 
terminal to operate the blower at a slower speed for first 
stage heat when the outdoor temperature is below the 
temperature selected. This circulates warmer air than the 
higher fan speed. The default is 80° (disabled), but can be 
set from 20° to 79°. Select an outdoor temperature where 
the air coming out of the ducts begins to feel cool and the 
thermostat will lower the fan speed to circulate warmer air.  

39.  (303 ONLY) Humidity Display (Hd) 

– Selecting HD On 

enables the display to alternately show the current time and 
the humidity. If HD is selected OFF, the display will not show 
the humidity. (See page 10 for Humidity setpoint range) 

40.  (303 ONLY) Adjustable Humidity Display

 – The display 

will show the ambient humidity and 00 (default). The 
setting can be changed from -20 and LO to 20 and HI. The 
displayed humidity will change as the offset is changed. 
In Run mode, the displayed humidity will be the ambient 
humidity adjusted by the setting selected. 

41.  (303 ONLY) Auto Humidity Reduction (HR)

 – This feature 

automatically lowers humidity setting when the outside 
temperature drops to prevent the interior windows/walls 
from reaching the dew point where water condenses on 
surfaces. This feature default is 

OFF

. It can be changed  

to select 

LO 

(low humidity reduction) or 

HI. 

To achieve 

automatic humidity reduction, the thermostat lowers the 
humidity when furnace cycles are long. When the outside 
temperature rises, it increases humidity. “

LO” 

indicates a 

low amount of humidity reduction. 

42. (303 ONLY) Automatic Humidification (AH)

 – This 

feature if enabled allows for humidification independent of 
a call for heating – useful in arid climates where addition 
humidification in heating and/or cooling is desired. If 
enabled, will energize the humidifier and circulator blower 
(

“G” 

terminal and the 

“HM”

 terminal) if the actual humidity 

is below the humidity set point. The display indicates 

AH

Pressing the   key will cycle the display from 

OFF

 to 

(feature enabled in Heat mode) to 

C

 (feature enabled in 

Cool mode) to 

A

 (feature enabled to Auto mode) and back 

to 

OFF

43.  (303 ONLY) Cycle Humidifier (CH)

 – This feature provides 

an option that reduces the water usage by up to 50% when 
a flow-through humidifier is controlled by the thermostat. It 
is recommended for use on flow-through humidifiers only. 
The display indicates 

CH

 (

C

ycle 

H

umidifier) with the default 

indicating OFF. Pressing the   or   keys will toggle the 
display from 

OFF

 to 

On

 and back to 

OFF

. When CH is 

enabled, the humidifier will cycle to turn off for 10 minutes 
after it has run for 10 minutes. The blower and/or furnace 
will continue to run during the humidifier off period. 

44. (303 ONLY) Programmable Dehumidification Optimal 

Comfort Mode (OC) or Optimal Dehumidification (Od)

 – 

This item can be selected to OC (Optimal Comfort mode), 

Od 

(Optimal Dehumidification), or 

OFF. 

When Optimal 

Comfort (OC) is enabled, this feature automatically reduces 
indoor humidity with a call for Cooling if humidity is 2% above 
humidity setpoint. Humidity is set by pressing the Humidity 
key when in the appropriate mode, in this case Cooling, 
and pressing the 

 or 

 keys to set desired humidity 

(range 40% to 95%) level followed by pressing Humidity 
key again. This dehumidification feature uses less energy 
by maintaining temperature and dehumidifying only when a 
call for Cooling is required. Optimal Dehumidification (Od) 
when enabled, this feature automatically reduces indoor 
humidity with a call for Cooling if humidity is 2% above 
setting. Humidity is set by pressing the 

HUMIDITY

 key when 

in the appropriate mode, in this case Cooling, and pressing 
the 

 or 

keys to set desired humidity level followed by 

pressing Humidity key again. This dehumidification feature 
may use more energy by making dehumidification a priority 
initiating a call for cooling if humidity is 2% above desired 
setting. This feature may also over-cool the condition space 
by up to 3 degrees to achieve the desired humidity level. 
(Note: Both dehumidification modes operate in Cooling 
mode only with a call for cooling) 

45, 46  on 303  (38/39 on 302) 

Change UV Lamp

 –  This feature allows the thermostat 

to display the words “Change UV Lamp” (Call for Service 
of UV bulb) after a set time of UV bulb operation. This is 
a reminder to maintain your UV system at optimum level 
of operation. When enabled, the factory set interval for 

Change UV Lamp

” to be displayed is 350 days of UV 

bulb operation and can be adjusted in 25 day increments. 
This should be adjusted with respect to the bulb’s 
recommended maintenance schedule. When “

Change 

UV Lamp

” is displayed, you can clear it by pressing Clean 

Display.

47, 48  (303 ONLY) Change Humidifier Pad –

 This feature 

allows the thermostat to display the words “

Change Pad

” 

after a set time of humidifier operation. This is a reminder 
to maintain or clean your humidifier. The factory set interval 
for “

Change Pad

” to be displayed is 100 hours of humidifier 

operation. This should be adjusted with respect to the 
humidifier’s recommended maintenance schedule. When 

Change Pad” 

is displayed, you can clear it by pressing 

Clean Display. 

49, 50  on 303 (40/41 on 302) 

Select Change Filter Run Time

 – This feature allows 

thermostat to display “

Change Filter

” after a set time of 

blower operation. This is a reminder to change or clean 
your air filter. This time can be set from 25 to 1975 hours 
in 25 hour increments. A selection of OFF will cancel this 
feature. When “

Change Filter”

 is displayed, you can clear 

it by pressing Clean Display. In a typical application, 200 
hours of run time is approximately 30 days.
