Vivint Element Operation Guide
Product Overview
Z-Wave and Thermostat Programs
The Thermostat must be connected to a Z-Wave network in order to operate the device
remotely through your panel or app. Use your Z-Wave application to adjust the heating
and cooling programs that the Thermostat uses to run your system. You can temporarily
override target temperatures and change system modes from the thermostat, but you
must use the Z-Wave application to make permanent changes to programs.
Compressor Protection
The Thermostat has a minimum cycle time of five (5) minutes to protect your compressor
from excessive wear from responding to thermostat changes. The Home screen shows
the message “Cycle Delay”. The compressor will not come on until the five-minute delay
is over.
