The Fan 1 modulation band setting establishes the 
temperature at which Fan 1 reaches maximum speed. 
The value is a temperature 

difference 

from the main 

set point. 
 
The Fan 1 modulation band is adjusted in 0.5 degree 
increments from a minimum setting of 2.0°F (1.0°C) to 
a maximum setting of 18.0°F (10.0°C). 
 
 

Adjusting the Fan 1 modulation band:

 

•

rotate the Selector dial to position (2), 

•

rotate the adjustment dial counterclockwise to 

decrease the temperature setting, clockwise to 
increase it. 
 
The Fan 1 modulation band setting is displayed on the 
ECS. 

 

Example:     A main set point temperature 
of 70°F along with a Fan 1 band setting of 
5°F is set. When the temperature of the 
room reaches 75°F, Fan 1 operates at its 
maximum speed.
