Main Display
MODE STATUS Shows the current mode of operation: OFF, COOL, HEAT or COOL, EM. HEAT
(for heat pumps only), and HEAT. The current mode will flash to show when the
equipment is running.
SET POINTS Shows the Heating and/or Cooling temperature settings.
FAN STATUS FAN ON indicates the fan is set to operate continuously.
LOCKOUT The lockout setting shows the thermostat buttons have been locked out and the
thermostat settings can not be changed at the thermostat.
ROOM TEMPERATURE Shows the current room temperature. The temperature can be displayed in °F or
°C. This would show relative humidity (%) if the thermostat has been installed
with an optional humidity control sensor.
REMOTE TEMPERATURE/
RELATIVE HUMIDITY A temperature and/or a relative humidity value will be displayed alternately here
when an optional remote temperature and/or humidity sensor has been installed
(typical use is for outdoor temperature).
NETWORK OVERRIDE When NETWORK OVERRIDE is displayed, the thermostat has been taken off-
line from the system. The thermostat can then only be operated at the
thermostat.
NETWORK STATUS This computer icon shows the thermostat is connected to the system. The icon
will flash when the thermostat sends or receives information. If there is no
activity on the system for 15 minutes the icon will be crossed out. This does not
mean the thermostat is unable to communicate, only that there has been no
communication to this thermostat in 15 minutes.
