Configuration Mode

The configuration mode is used to set the SC2211 to match your heating/cooling system. The SC2211 
functions with up to 3-stage heat pump systems.
To configure the SC2211, perform the following steps:

1.  Slide the 

Mode

 switch to the 

OFF

 position.

2.  Remove the cover of the thermostat by gently pulling on one of the corners.
3.  Simultaneously hold the 

SW5

 & 

SW6

 buttons in for 2 seconds while the SC2211 is in 

OFF

 mode.

4.  Press the   or   button to change settings within each screen.
5.  Press the 

SW6

 button to advance to the next screen.

 

 

Note:

 The 

SW5

 button will return you to the previous screen.

6.  To exit configuration mode, slide the 

Mode

 switch to 

Heat

 or 

Cool

.

Once the thermostat is installed, it should be thoroughly tested.  

CAUTION!

Do not energize the air conditioning system when the outdoor temperature is 

below 50 degrees. It can result in equipment damage or personal injury.

Testing the Thermostat

CAUTION!

Do not use air conditioning when the outdoor temperature is below 50 

degrees. This can damage your air conditioning system and cause personal 
injuries.

1.  Move the 

Fan Auto/On

 switch to the 

Auto

 position.

2.  Move the 

Cool/Off/Heat/Emer

 switch to

, depending on the season.

Starting the Thermostat

LED Indicators

There are three LED indicators located on the front of the thermostat.  They are designed to inform 

you about the following:

LED

Color

Function

AUX

Green

•  This turns on when the auxiliary (second stage) heating is in operation
•  It turns on 1-6°F  below first stage and is user adjustable 

 

(see Configuration Mode, Step 3)

CHECK

Red

•  When this turns on, a malfunction has occurred somewhere in the heat 

pump system

•  Please contact a qualified service technician as soon as possible to 

check your system

EMER

Red

•  This light turns on whenever the emergency heat is manually selected 

(

Mode

 switch is in the 

EMER

 position)

•  While in the emergency 

Heat

 mode, the heat pump compressor is off, 

and the emergency heat (same as the auxiliary heat) maintains the 
setpoint temperature

Troubleshooting

Cool Test

1.  Slide 

Mode

 switch to 

Cool

 mode.  

2.  Adjust set temperature so it is 5 degrees below room temperature. 
3.  Air conditioning should come on within a few seconds.
4.  Adjust the set temperature 2 degrees above the room temperature 

and the A/C should turn off.  There may be a fan delay on your 
system.

 

 

Note:

 There is a four minute time delay to protect the compressor 

after it turns off. To temporarily bypass the four minute 
delay, slide the 

Mode

 switch to 

OFF

 for 2 seconds and then 

back to 

Cool

.

Heat Test

1.  Slide 

Mode

 switch to 

Heat

 mode. 

2.  Adjust the set temperature so it is 5 degrees above the room 

temperature.

3.  Heat should come on within a few seconds.   
4.  Adjust the set temperature so it is 2 degrees below the room  

temperature and the heat should turn off.  There may be a fan delay 
on your system.

 

 

Note:

 There is a four minute time delay to protect the compressor after it turns off. To 

temporarily bypass the four minute delay, slide the 

Mode

 switch to 

OFF

 for 2 seconds and 

then back to 

Heat

.

Emergency Heat Test

1.  Slide 

Mode

 switch to 

Emer

 position (Emer LED lights). 

2.  Adjust the set temperature so it is 5 degrees above the room temperature.  

There may be a four minute delay.

3.  Second stage heat should come on (Aux LED lights).   
4.  Adjust the set temperature so it is 2 degrees below the room temperature.  

Heat should turn off.  There may be a fan delay on your system.

Mode of Operation

The SC2211 is a multi-stage, heat pump thermostat for 24 VAC systems. 

The thermostat activates the heat pump when the room temperature is below the heat set 
temperature (by the differential temperature). Auxiliary heat will be activated if the room temperature 
continues to drop. Third stage heat is activated (on some systems) if the temperature drops further. 

The heat outputs are staged off (configurable, setting 5) as the room temperature increases. The 

thermostat will not let the compressor come on for four minutes after it turns off. This protects your 
compressor. 

When the room temperature is greater than the cool set temperature (by the differential temperature), 

the cooling device is activated. Second-stage cooling will be activated if the room temperature 
continues to rise. The cool outputs are staged off (configurable, setting 5) as the room temperature 

decreases. The thermostat will not let the compressor come on for four minutes after it turns off. This 
protects your compressor.

The SC2211 has the following operating modes: 

OFF

Heat, Emergency Heat

 and 

Cool

. In 

OFF

 

mode, the thermostat will not turn on heating or cooling devices. In the 

Heat

 mode, the thermostat 

controls the heat pump system. In the 

Emergency Heat

 mode, the heat pump is bypassed and 

auxiliary becomes the primary heat source. In the 

Cool

 mode, the thermostat controls the cooling 

system. The indoor fan can be turned on in all operating modes using the 

Fan

 switch.

Symptom

Remedy

No display

Check for 24 VAC at thermostat; display is blank when 24 VAC is not 

present

System fan does not come on 

properly

Verify wiring is correct

Thermostat turns on and off too 

frequently

Adjust temperature differential (see “Temperature Differential,” Stage 1, 

Step 2)

Fan runs continuously

Check fan On/Auto switch, ON position runs indoor fan continuously

Room temperature is not correct

Verify wall hole is plugged with putty or insulation; calibrate thermostat 

(see “Configuration,” Step 8)

ROOM displays

Room temperature offset is not zero (see “Configuration,” Step 8)

Auxiliary heat not on soon enough

Adjust differential for 2nd and 3rd stage heating if required (see 

Configuration, Steps 3 and 4) 

Problem not listed above

Press the Reset button once; display will be refreshed and anti-short 

cycle timing will be reset to zero
