Minimum Off Time (MOT)
The thermostat has a Minimum Off Time (MOT) delay after any heating or cooling cycle
ends
. This delay prevents rapid heating/cooling cycles and also provides “short cycle
protection” for the system compressor. This delay may be noticeable when you change a
setpoint and it does not respond immediately due to the MOT delay timer preventing the
system from restarting. The MOT delay time can be adjusted in the Advanced Settings
menu of the thermostat but there is a minimum of a 5 minute delay to assure compressor
protection.
Note: The MOT status is shown in the thermostat Status display.
