some older mechanical models. A faster cycle
rate means the unit turns on and off more
frequently but runs for a shorter time so there is
no increase in energy use. If you would like to
increase the cycle time, clip Jumper W-905 as
mentioned in the instructions for Hydronic Heating
Systems. It is not possible to shorten the cycle
time. If an acceptable cycle rate is not achieved as
received or by clipping W-905 contact a local
service person for additional suggestions.
