When NO is selected the 

thermostat is unable to 

connect to an indoor remote 

sensor. When YES is selected 

the thermostat is able to 

connect to up to four indoor 

remote sensors. Go to the 

next step FINDING SENSOR to 

connect remote sensors.

NO

Remote 

Sensor

Enables the use of up to four 

indoor sensors. 

Selecting YES requires the master 

thermostat to be powered with 

24V on C and R terminals.

The number shown 

represents the zone.

Use         or         to select the 

zone you wish to connect. 

The zone setting on the 

master and the indoor 

sensors must be the same to

Technician Setup

Enables the use of an outdoor 

sensor. Connecting an outdoor 

sensor allows for a balance point 

setting. Selecting YES requires the 

master thermostat to be powered 

with 24V on C and R terminals.

See the outdoor sensor guide for 

more information.

Outdoor

When NO is selected the 

thermostat is unable to 

connect to an outdoor 

remote sensor. When YES 

is selected the thermostat 

is able to connect to an 

outdoor remote sensor. Press 

and hold connect button 

on outdoor sensor until the 

master thermostat says 

FOUND OUTDOOR on display.

Reminders

Once a reminder has been turned on and set, the elapsed time can be 

checked by navigating to its tech setup step.  The elapsed time will then 

appear in the text field.  It can also be reset at that time by holding down

Note: 

When the dehumidify terminal is configured as normally-closed, 

the base module D terminal LED indicator will be lit when the relay is 

closed. When the thermostat calls for dehumidification, the D terminal 

LED indicator will turn off.

Note:

Up to four indoor temperature sensors can be connected to one 

thermostat. This allows for 5 sensing points (zones).  For example: the 

local (thermostat) plus four indoor sensors enables 5 sensing points. 

To connect an indoor sensor to a thermostat, select 1 on the FINDING 

SENSOR technician setup step. Then hold down the light button on the 

indoor sensor until it beeps, while in ZONE technician setup step on the 

indoor sensor. To connect a second indoor sensor change the 

thermostat to read 2 and change the indoor sensor to zone 2.  The zone 

setting must match between the thermostat and the indoor sensor to 

connect.  When the connection is established the thermostat will show 

FOUND + NAME of the indoor sensor in the system information area of 

display.

Balance Point:

The system operates differently when a balance point is used. On a dual 

fuel system, the balance point outdoor temperature setting will be the 

outdoor temperature at which the thermostat chooses either the heat 

pump or gas furnace. For example: A balance point setting of 30°F will 

turn on only the heat pump above 30°F and only the gas furnace below 

30°F.  Y1 will be stage one above 30°F and W2 will be stage one below 

30°F. A heat pump with electric auciliary will energize the heat pump 

above and below balance point. The electric auxiliary will only energize 

below balance point. For Example: A balance point setting of 40°F, will 

turn on the heat pump above 40°F and turn on the heat pump and 

electric auxiliary below 40°F.
