OPERATION

When heating or cooling calls are sent to the 

RMOD

Relay Module by the

thermostat, the 

RMOD

will treat these calls as votes to determine mode

When configured for Heat Pump operation, the cut-out is automatically

COOL CALLS

If the majority of calls are for cooling, the 

RMOD

will energize Y1 and G

for 1st stage cooling. After 4 minutes, the 

RMOD

will check the leaving

provided for compressor safety.

HEAT CALLS

If the majority of calls are for heating, the 

RMOD

will energize W1 for 1st

stage heating. The 

RMOD

will bring on additional stages in 3-minute

increments. See Gas Electric and Heat Pump staging.

CHANGEOVER

If the system is running in one mode and the majority of calls changes
to the other mode, a timer will start. The 

RMOD

will give the current

operating mode another 4 minutes to try to satisfy the zone(s). It will
then go into the purge cycle before switching modes to the majority.

PURGE MODE

When a heat or cool call is satisfied, or before changing modes, the

RMOD

will go into a 3-minute purge cycle. The call for heat or cool will

be removed, and the dampers close.

VENTILATION MODES

The 

RMOD

can be field configured for FAN Constant in the Occupied

mode or FAN Automatic. When all zones are satisfied, dampers will
modulate to 50% open.

EMERGENCY HEAT

Selected by the on-board switch or remote switch.

COMMUNICATION FAILURE

If the 

RMOD

loses communications, it will then control the HVAC unit

based on the return air temperature. The 

RMOD

will maintain 70° F heat

and 75° F cool as measured by the MIX Air sensor in the return air.

TEMPERATURE LIMITS AND STAGING

The 

RMOD

monitors the leaving air temperature for staging and Hi /Low

145° F. Staging is based on the limit settings.

Gas Electric & Heat Pump

Example:

Gas Electric
Heating

W2 cut-in temperature is high limit minus 15° F (145° - 15°

= 130° F). The W2 cut-out is cut-in plus 10° F (130° + 10° = 140° F).
Example:
Adjustable high limit = 145° F
W2 Cut-in = 130° F (high limit minus fifteen)
W2 Cut-out = 140° F (cut-in plus ten)
W1 cut out = 145°

Heat Pump
Heating

– When the 

RMOD

is configured for HP operation, the high

cut-out is automatically set to 121°.
• W2 energizes when the SA temperature is 88° or less after 4 minutes

of run time. W2 de-energizes when the SA temperature rises to 100°.

• Y2 energizes when the SA temperature is below 100° after 2 minutes

of run time and de-energizes above 115°.

• Y1 cuts out for 4 minutes when the SA temperature is above 120°.

TEMPERATURE LIMIT ADJUSTMENT

The high and low cut-out temperatures are field adjustable.

at 45° F. Four-minute minimum run and four-minute off delays are

Cooling

Y2 cut-in temperature is low limit plus 10°F (45°+ 10°= 55°F).

The Y2 cut-out is cut-in minus 8° F (55° – 8° = 47° F).

Adjustable low limit = 45° F
Y2 Cut-in = 55° F (low limit plus ten)
Y2 Cut-out = 47° F (cut-in minus eight)
