Temperature Offset
The temperature offset setting can be used for calibration of the indoor
temperature reading of the thermostat. For instance, if the thermostat is reading
71
o
F and the calibration equipment is reading 70
o
F, then setting this value to -1
o
F
will shift the thermostat reading to 70
o
F.
Default: 0
o
F
Options: Between -5
o
F and 5
o
F
On Thermostat:
Select Menu > (hold) Service > Installation Settings > Thresholds >
Temperature Offset
NOTE: Temperature sensors used in modern thermostats have defined tolerance
intervals of normal temperature readings. This means if multiple of the same thermostat
model were installed side-by-side, it would be normal for different current temperatures
to be displayed (e.g. one at 72
o
F and one at 71
o
F). However, there are product features
and installation steps you can take to help ensure a comfortable environment.
Installation best practices for temperature accuracy:
1. Minimize the effect of air leakage, excess wiring should be pushed into the
wall and the hole should be sealed to prevent air leakage.
2. Leave the thermostat installed & powered on for at least 30 minutes before
checking calibration.
If the thermostat reading still needs adjusting after these two installation steps, adjust
the Room Air Temperature Thermostat Offset.
