Inlet Air Sensor (iAS) (optional)

The Inlet Air Sensor monitors the temperature of the
inlet air. If the inlet air is above the setpoint, the inlet air
sensor shuts off the furnace and continues to supply
the warm outside air. The inlet air sensor is preset to the
factory-recommended 65°F for 8 stage furnaces and
60°F for 4:1 turndown modulated furnaces.

Discharge Air Temperature (dtS)

The Discharge Air Temperature setting is the
temperature the unit will discharge. The Discharge
Air Temperature setting is preset to the factory-
recommended 70°F. The actual discharge air
temperature can be displayed by pressing the Up or
Down button from the default screen.

Outside Air Temperature (OAt)

To temporarily display the outside air temperature, press
the Up or Down buttons from the default screen to
change the display until “OAt” is displayed, then press
the Enter button.
