HP LOCKOUT—Sets an outdoor temperature below which the heat pump does not 
operate. If set to OFF, the heating equipment cycle always starts with the heat pump, 
regardless of the outdoor air temperature. If a lockout temperature is selected and the 
outdoor air temperature is less than the selected temperature, the heating cycle is 
started with the AUX HEAT SOURCE. If the outdoor air temperature is equal to or greater 
than the selected temperature, the heating cycle is started with the heat pump. If the 
outdoor temperature is not available, all heating cycles with compressor heat. 
When the heat pump is not energized but there is demand sufficient to request heat 
pump heating, the heat pump lockout temperature is checked against the outdoor air 
temperature and if the outdoor air temperature is greater than the heat pump lockout 
temperature the heat pump is energized. Once the heat pump is energized, it remains 
energized until the heating demand no longer requires heat pump heating, regardless of 
the outdoor air temperature. 
NOTES  
•  The HP LOCKOUT functionality is not available if the OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT TYPE is 
set to NONE or AC, because the AUX HEAT LOCKOUT functionality is only applicable 
to heat pump systems.   
•  If the REMOTE SENSOR is set to something other than ODT, there is no outdoor air 
temperature is provided by the server and the HP LOCKOUT is set to a temperature, 
the message OUTDOOR N/A is displayed in the home screen and dormant screen 
banners to indicate an outdoor sensor is required but there is no outdoor 
temperature information available. 
•  Do not set the heat pump lockout temperature to a value greater than the auxiliary 
heat lockout temperature unless the auxiliary heat lockout temperature setting is 
OFF. This prevents the condition where the range of outdoor air temperatures 
between the auxiliary heat lockout and the heat pump lockout temperature result in 
no equipment operation. Below the heat pump lockout temperature, the AUX heat 
source attempts to turn on, but the auxiliary heat lockout temperature prevents it 
from doing so. If the heat pump lockout temperature is changed so that it is greater 
than the auxiliary heat lockout temperature, the auxiliary heat lockout temperature 
value is set equal to the heat pump lockout temperature.   
DIFFERENTIAL—Sets a value that specifies the required difference between the current 
space temperature and the setpoint that results in the equipment being energized to 
satisfy the demand. This value is additive for each additional stage of equipment being 
demanded.  
(e.g. A chosen differential value of 0.5°F requires 0.5° difference between setpoint and 
space temperature before first stage is turned on. Then a value of 1.0 degree of 
difference between setpoint and space temperature before second stage is turned on.)
