Operation
On a 2-heat thermostat, the two stages of heat make
sequentially as the temperature drops. Make refers to the
mercury switch initiating a call for heat or cool.
There are about 2
°
F [1
°
C] between stages so that the
second stage makes only when the first stage can not
handle the load. This is the interstage differential.
The LED indicators are light emitting diodes on the
subbase that light when something specific happens with-
in the system.
Up to four of the LEDs listed below may be included on
your subbase. When an LED lights, refer to the following
list for the meaning:
FILTER: Clogged filter needs replacement.
EM. HT.: Emergency heat is operating. The compres-
sor has failed, and the heat pump is not operating.
LED lights when system switch is placed in the EM.
HT. position.
AUX. HT.: Auxiliary heat is operating, which means the
weather is so cold that the heat pump can not handle
the load alone.
LOCKOUT: System is shut down and needs maintenance.
CHECK: System needs to be checked. See heating sys-
tem instructions for specific meaning.
SERVICE: See heating system instructions for specific
meaning.
LEDs are not field replaceable.
