1. The location of the thermostat and/or
the size of the Heating System may
be influencing the cycle rate.
1. Thermostat thermometer setting
requires adjustment.

Corrective Action
sound. This sound usually indicates the thermostat
is operating properly. If the thermostat does not
click, try the reset operation listed above. If the
thermostat does not click after being reset contact
your heating and cooling service person or place of
purchase for a replacement. If the thermostat clicks,
contact the furnace manufacturer or a service
person to verify the heating is operating correctly.
Press SYSTEM button to COOL and lower setpoint
below room temperature.
Verify thermostat and system wires are securely
attached.
Same procedure as diagnostic for No Heat condi-
tion except set the thermostat to COOL and lower
the setpoint below the room temperature. There
may be up to a five minute delay before the
thermostat clicks in Cooling.
Check each wire connection to verify they are not
shorted or touching together. No bare wire should
stick out from under terminal screws. Try resetting
the thermostat as described above. If the condition
persists the manufacturer of your system or service
person can instruct you on how to test the Heat/
Cool system for correct operation. If the system
operates correctly, replace the thermostat.
Digital thermostats normally provide precise
temperature control and may cycle faster than 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, choose
SL for slow cycle in the menu, step 4. If an accept-
able cycle rate is not achieved as received or by
choosing slow cycle, contact a local service person
for additional suggestions.
The thermometer can be adjusted +/- 4 degrees.
See Temperature Display Adjustment in the
Configuration Menu section.
Use the Reset Operation at top of previous page.
Change system mode to COOL. Raise the Cool
setpoint. Return to HEAT mode and set desired
temperature.
Change system mode to HEAT. Lower the Heat
setpoint. Return to COOL mode and set desired
temperature.
CAUTION: This resets the thermostat to factory
default settings of the configuration menu. After
performing this reset, the thermostat will require
configuration again. Be sure that you know the
required configuration settings before resetting.
With the thermostat in any mode, press and at
the same time to enter the configuration menu at the
point where the lockout code is to be entered. Press
