H/C, Fan, Occupancy, and Override

When the fan is commanded to run, the animated 

“FAN” icon rotates (if programmed to). When the 

fan command stops, the fan icon is motionless.
The “OCC” icon shows a sun when in Occupied 

mode and a quarter moon when in Unoccupied 

mode.
HEAT or COOL will show (and be animated when 

there is an active command to move the room tem-

perature toward the setpoint via mechanical heat-

ing/cooling or an economizer), depending on the 

current mode. This can also be turned OFF.
To override these modes

 from the Home (tempera-

ture display) screen, press the 

Left

 arrow button. 

Press
