Thermostat Operation 

 
Minimum Run Time (MRT) 

The thermostat has a Minimum Run Time (MRT) delay after the start of any heating or 
cooling call.  This minimum run time assures even heating and cooling cycles.  The MRT 
will keep the system on, even if it reaches the setpoint room temperature, or you change 
the setpoint to a temperature that would satisfy the call, until the MRT expires.   Changing 
the Mode to OFF will cancel the MRT and the system will turn off immediately. The MRT 
can be adjusted in the Advanced Settings menu of the thermostat. 
 

Note:  The MRT status is shown in the thermostat Status display
