MINIMUM OFF timer 
Once a heating or cooling demand is satisfied on the thermostat, the MINIMUM OFF timer is set to a 300-second 
value (5 minutes) and then begins to count down each second. Heating and cooling outputs are de-energized the 
entire time that this timer has a value greater than 0. 
 
MINIMUM ON timer 
Once a heating or cooling output becomes active, the 5-minute MINIMUM ON timer begins to count down. The 
output will not de-energize until the timer reaches zero and the demand is satisfied. If the user changes the 
setpoint to satisfy the demand, the 5 minute minimum on time is ignored and the heating or cooling equipment 
turns off. 
 
Non-volatile memory 
The thermostat can store settings in non-volatile memory to ensure that settings remain the same after a power 
outage (either intentional or unintentional). Items stored in non-volatile memory include: 
•  Installer settings  
•  Menu settings  
•  Program schedule  
•  Date and time 
•  Software information 
•  Dealer information 
•  Fault and system event information 
 
Deadband 
The thermostat controls the number of degrees (°F or °C) between the heating and cooling setpoints. If the user 
changes a setpoint that violates the deadband requirement, the opposite mode setpoint is “pushed” to enforce 
the deadband. The deadband setting is fixed at 2°F.
