Fig. 9. CT500 temperature display 

and System/Fan switches.

Fan Switch

The Fan switch settings are:
On: The fan runs continuously. Use for improved air 
circulation. (Recommended position with whole-house 
air cleaners.)
Auto: Normal setting for most homes. In cooling, the 
fan starts and stops with the cooling equipment. In 
heating, the fan is controlled directly by the heating 
equipment and starts a few minutes after the heating 
equipment turns on.

Slide the switch on the thermostat to the desired fan 
setting.

System Switch

The System switch settings control thermostat 
operation as follows:
Cool: The thermostat controls the cooling system. 
Off: Both heating and cooling are off. 
Heat: The thermostat controls the heating system.

Slide the System switch on the thermostat to the 
desired system setting.

8 CHECK OPERATION AFTER 

INSTALLATION/PROGRAMMING

Heating System

Slide the System switch to Heat and the Fan switch to 
Auto.

Press and hold the 

 key to raise the temperature 

several degrees above the room temperature to start 
the heating equipment.

Press the 

 key to lower the temperature setting 

below the room temperature. The heating equipment 
should stop.

Cooling System

CAUTION

Compressor Damage Hazard.   
Operating at too low of an outdoor 
temperature can cause compressor damage.

Do not operate cooling system when outdoor 
temperature is below 50°F (10°C).

IMPORTANT

Temporary protection delay protects compres-
sor; the thermostat allows the compressor to 
remain off for five minutes before restarting.

Slide the System switch to Cool and the Fan switch to 
Auto.

Press the

 key to lower the temperature setting 

several degrees below the room temperature to start 
the cooling equipment.

Press the 

 key to raise the temperature setting 

above the room temperature. The cooling equipment 
should shut down.

Fan

Slide the System switch to Off and the Fan switch to 
On. The fan should run continuously if the G terminal 
is connected.
