Operating the Heat Pump for Automatic
Cooling & Heating (Autochangeover)
1. Set the thermostat system switch to AUTO and the
thermostat fan switch to AUTO.
note:
Thermostats will vary. Some models will not
include the AUTO mode, others will have the AUTO in
place of HEAT and COOL, and some will include all three.
2. Set the thermostat temperature to the desired heating
and cooling temperature level(s). The outdoor unit and
the indoor blower will then cycle on and off in either
the heating or cooling mode of operation as required
to automatically maintain the indoor temperature within
the desired limits.
Operating the Indoor blower Continuously
Continuous indoor blower operation is typically used to
circulate the indoor air to equalize a temperature imbalance
due to a solar load, cooking, or fireplace operation.
Set the thermostat fan mode to ON (Figure 1). The indoor
blower starts immediately, and will run continuously until
the fan mode is reset to AUTO.
Continuous indoor blower operation can be obtained
with the thermostat system mode set in any position,
including OFF.
Shutting the Heat Pump Off
Change the thermostat’s system mode to OFF and the
fan mode to AUTO.
note:
The system will not operate,
regardless of the temperature selector setting.
