SECTION 8
APPLIANCES & INTERIOR FEATURES
NOTE: Follow proper furnace lighting proce-
dures described previously in this sec-
tion.
•
Adjust the temperature setpoint to personal
preference if needed. See “Changing Tem-
perature Setpoints.”
•
Changing Temperature Setpoint
Move the temperature Selector to the desired
temperature on the display. The display will
change with the position of the Selector. (The
display normally shows the current room tem-
perature until the Temperature Selector lever is
moved.) When you have chosen a temperature
setting, the display will continue to show the
selected temperature value for 3 seconds, then it
will revert to showing current room temperature.
Cooling (A/C):
•
Slide the system switch up to Cool position.
•
Slide the Cooling Fan Switch to the desired
position.
On/Low:
A/C compressor cycles on and off
with the thermostat while fan runs continu-
ously at low speed.
On/High:
A/C compressor cycles on and off
with the thermostat while fan runs continu-
ously at high speed.
Auto/Low:
Fan runs at low speed and cycles
on and off with the A/C compressor as con-
trolled by the thermostat.
Auto/High:
Fan runs at high speed and
cycles on and off with the A/C compressor as
controlled by the thermostat.
•
Adjust the temperature setpoint to personal
preference if needed. See “Changing Tem-
perature Setpoints”.
Fan:
•
Slide the system switch down to “Fan” posi-
tion. The fan will run continuously at high
speed and is not controlled by thermostat set-
ting. The display will show current room
temperature.
HEAT PUMP - Optional
Your coach may be optionally equipped with
an air source heat pump built into the central air
conditioning system. Because the heat pump
operates on electricity, it provides economical
heat inside your coach and helps reduce the use
of LP gas for heating in cooler weather.
A heat pump can be thought of as an air con-
ditioner running in reverse. An air conditioner
absorbs heat from the air inside of the coach and
moves it to the outside. The heat pump does
exactly the opposite. Even cold air contains some
heat, so a heat pump will extract heat from the
outside air on a cold day and carry it to the inside
of the coach to maintain a comfortable tempera-
ture.
The efficiency of a heat pump decreases as the
outdoor air temperature drops, so supplementary
heat is often needed when the outside tempera-
ture nears freezing. This sytem is set to automat-
ically start the LP gas furnace to assist the heat
pump if room temperature cools to 45 degrees F
or less. You may wish to manually switch to
furnace heat to maintain a higher temperature
when outside temperatures begin to reduce the
efficiency of the heat pump. The heat pump will
not operate when the outside temperature falls
below 36 degress F.
To turn on the heat pump:
The Heat Source selector switch is a separate
module attached to the right side of the electronic
thermostat as shown.
•
To activate the Heat Pump, place the Heat
Source switch in ELECTRIC position. (The
furnace will automatically kick in when
room temperature cools to 45 degrees or
less.)
