CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION

NOTE: To prevent static discharge problems, touch side 
of thermostat to release static build-up before touching 
any keys.

If at any time during testing your system does not operate properly, 
contact a qualifi ed service person.

FAN OPERATION

If your system 

does not

 have a 

G

 terminal connection, skip to 

Heating System

.

1.  Turn on power to the system.

2.  Move fan switch to 

ON

 position. The blower should begin to operate.

3.  Move fan switch to 

AUTO

 position. The blower should stop immediately.

Do not allow the compressor to run unless the compressor 
oil heaters have been operational for 6 hours and the 
system has not been operational for at least 5 minutes.

 CAUTION

HEATING SYSTEM

1.  Move SYSTEM switch to 

HEAT

 position. If the auxiliary heating 

system has a standing pilot, be sure to light it.

2.  Press 

 to adjust thermostat setting to 1° above room 

temperature. The heat pump system should begin to operate. 
However, if the 

Flame icon

 ( ) and 

Snowfl ake icon

 (

are fl ashing, the compressor lockout feature is operating 
(see Confi guration menu, item 2.)

3.  Adjust temperature setting to 4° above room temperature. The 

auxiliary heat system should begin to operate and the 

Flame icon

 

( ) will be fl ashing.

4.  Press 

 to adjust thermostat setting below room temperature. 

The heating system should stop operating.

EMERGENCY SYSTEM

EMER bypasses the Heat Pump to use the heat source wired to 
terminal E on the thermostat. EMER is typically used when compressor 
operation is not desired, or you prefer back-up heat only.

1.  Move SYSTEM switch to 

EMER

 position. EMER will fl ash on the display.

2.  Press 

 to adjust thermostat setting above room temperature. 

The Aux heating system will begin to operate. The 

Flame icon

 ( ) 

will display fl ashing to indicate that the Aux system is operating.

3.  Press 

 to adjust the thermostat below room temperature. 

The Aux heating system should stop operating.

To prevent compressor and/or property damage, if the 
outdoor temperature is below 50°F, DO NOT operate the 
cooling system.

 CAUTION

COOLING SYSTEM

1.  Move SYSTEM switch to 

COOL

 position.

2.  Press 

 to adjust thermostat setting below room temperature. 

The blower should come on immediately on high speed, followed 
by cold air circulation.

3.  Press 

 to adjust temperature setting above room 

temperature. The cooling system should stop operating.

THE THERMOSTAT BUTTONS AND SWITCHES

base

. To remove the cover, gently 

pull it straight out from the base. To replace the cover, line up the cover 
with the base and press gently until the cover snaps onto the base.
