Room Temperature and Adjustable Set Point (desired) Temperatures

Unless adjusted in the Service Menu, the thermostat will show the cur

-

rent room temperature on the display.  

To show the current Set Point Value (desired room temperature), press 

either the UP or DOWN arrow keys.  The initial power-up Set Point is 

72° F.  This value can be adjusted using the arrows keys.  Adjustments 

to the Set Points are stored in the non-volatile memory, and are used for 

subsequent power ups.

System Switch Operation (SYS)

OFF:     

All thermostat outputs are disabled.

HEAT:   

Operates as a Heating only thermostat.

COOL:   

Operates as a Cooling only thermostat. 

AUTO:   

The thermostat automatically selects between Heat 

 

 

ing or Cooling mode depending upon the Set Point  

 

 

(Desired Temp) and Zone Temperature (Actual 

 

 

Temp).  The appropriate HEAT or COOL icon is    

 

 

enabled if demand exists.  

SETBACK:   

An energy saving feature that minimizes heating and 

cooling when the room is not occupied.  The thermo

-

stat will control to the SETBACK Heat and Cool Set 

Points, rather than the standard Set Points.  When in 

SETBACK, the display will show the room tempera

-

ture along with the SETBACK icon.  Key presses will 

have no effect on the Setback operation except for 

the System Switch Selection button, which allows 

the user to exit the SETBACK mode.  

AUX HEAT: 

For emergency heating applications, when the oc

-

cupant wants only the Auxiliary Heat Source to oper

-

ate.  The heat pump does not operate in this mode.

Fan Operation

If the Heat Pump operates with 1 Fan Speed, occupants can choose 

either FAN ON or FAN AUTO.

With FAN ON selection, the Fan is on continuously, even when no 

heating or cooling is required.

With FAN AUTO selection, the Fan is on only with active demand.

If the Heat Pump operates with 2 Fan Speeds, occupants can choose: 

FAN LO, FAN HI, or FAN AUTO.

With FAN LO selection, the fan is on continuously at the fan low 

speed.

With FAN HI selection, the fan is on continuously at the fan high 

speed.

With FAN AUTO selection, the thermostat selects the fan speed 

and enables the appropriate output according to how far the room 

is away from the desired Set Point.  Fan Low operates between 

Set Point and Fan High.  Fan High is enabled 2°F from desired 

Set Point (configurable via Service Menu 12 Fan Stage Separa

-

tion) and is disabled 1°F from the desired Set Point.

Sensor Readings – STATUS Button

Outside Air (OA) Temperature – Push the Status Button to read 

value. If a Sensor is connected, the current sensed temperature 

will be displayed in the digits along with the OUTSIDE icon. If the 

OA input is closed the unit will display F1 in the digits as an indi

-

cation that the filter needs to be changed.   If this input is open the 

unit will skip over OUTSIDE and go directly to the display of %RH.

Relative Humidity (RH) - If a humidity sensor is installed, the % 

RH will be displayed by pushing the Status Button.    Pressing 

the UP or DOWN button will display the current %RH desired 

Set Point and will allow the operator to  adjust this value.  The 

SP range for Humidity is 20-45%RH and Dehumidification is 50-

90%RH.  

Selection of Humidify or Dehumidify must be made in Service 

Menu 12 to allow the adjustment of %RH Set Point.  If Outside Air 

operation is selected from Service Menu 12, instead of Humidifi

-

cation or Dehumidification, then %RH Set Point is only adjustable 

for Outside Air selection configuration 4 and 5.  If this RH input is 

open the unit will skip over %RH and go directly to display of F/C.

Fahrenheit / Celsius- Enables occupant to change readings to 

Celsius.  Push the status button until F/C option is displayed and 

then use the arrow keys to change the display option.

teCHniCal / aPPliCation notes

Dehumidification Control

Dehumidification is only enabled during COOL mode. Selectable range 

is 50-90%RH, with a default value of 90%.  If you have a TH170-001 (no 

onboard RH sensor), the three dehumidification options are disabled in 

the service menu.  

With most dehumidifier equipment, when there is an active RH demand 

the output is disabled and in the Normally closed position.  If the dehu

-

midification equipment operates in the reverse, Service Menu 21 will 

allow the installer to enable the output with RH demand.

The dehumidification user selection configurations are:

Dehumidification Only

 (Default): If the %RH reading > the RH 

Set Point (SP) the dehumidifier turns on.

over Cool:  The temperature is allowed to drop up to 3°F below 

Temp SP to satisfy the dehumidification demand.  For every 

degree the Temp SP decreases, the %RH SP is automatically 

increased by 2%.  For every degree the Temp drifts back toward 

the Temp SP, the %RH Set Point is automatically decreased by 

2%.  If the %RH SP is user changed while the %RH SP is being 

shifted, the system will use the new %RH SP.  During Over Cool 

operation, the user selected Temp SP value will only be displayed, 

not the Over Cool SP value.  The overcool operation used only 

Compressor 1, Fan LO, and dehumidification output to meet 

dehumanization demand.

Dehumidification OFF

:  Independent of Dehumidification De

-

mand, the output is enabled (dehumidifier is off).  

Humidification Control

Humidify is only enabled during HEAT or AUX HEAT modes. Selectable 

range is 20-45%RH, with a default value of 20%.  If you have a TH170-

001 (no onboard RH sensor), all five Humidification selections are dis

-

abled.  HU 3-5 are only displayed if an outside air sensor is connected.

The Humidity user selection configurations are:

Humidify only: Humidity output is enabled (Humidifier ON) when 

the %RH < RH Set Point.

Humidify with fan: With a Humidity demand (%RH < RH Set 

Point), Humidifier and Fan LO are enabled. 

auto Humidify:  If the Outside Air Temperature is above 50°F, 

the humidity output is enabled (Humidifier ON) when the %RH 

< RH SP (same as HU1).  If the OA Temperature is ≤ 50°F, the 

%RH SP is automatically reduced by 1% for every drop of 2°F 

in OA Temperature between 0-50°F.  The humidification output 

is disabled when the RH SP ≤ %RH.   The condition is reversed 

when the OA Temperature increases between 0-50°F.  If the %RH 

SP is user changed, the system will use the new SP.  

auto fan Humidify:  In conjunction with configuration 3, Fan LO 

is enabled with Humidification demand.  

Humidify off: Independent of Humidification Demand, the 

output is disabled (humidifier is OFF)
