Operational information
 
Five-minute compressor timeguard
 
This timer prevents the compressor from starting unless it has been off for at least 5 minutes. It can be defeated for 1 cycle by 
simultaneously pressing the FAN mode button and INCREASE TEMPERATURE (UP) button.
 
Heat/Cool set points (desired temperature)
 
A minimum difference of 2° is enforced between heating and cooling desired temperatures. This is done by allowing one 
setting to “push” the other, to maintain this difference. (Thermidistat Control is adjustable.) Builder’s thermostats are 
controlled by a single set point.
 
Equipment on indicators (Non-Programmable models)
 
When cooling equipment is ON, a COOL ON icon is displayed above the room temperature display. When heating equipment 
is ON, a HEAT ON icon is displayed above the room temperature display.
 
Equipment on indicators (Thermidistat Control)
 
When cooling equipment is ON, a COOL icon preceded by a small triangle is displayed below the cool set point. While 
cooling equipment turn on is delayed by a staging or cycle timer, the triangle and the word COOL will flash. The same is true 
for the HEAT icon and its preceding triangle located under the heat set point. The 2 triangles are also used to indicate the state 
of the humidify and dehumidify outputs. See next section.
 
Humidify/dehumidify output on indicators (Thermidistat Control)
 
Within humidity select screen (selected by Humidity button and indicated by “hu” or “dhu” on clock display), the triangle 
under humidity set point will be on while humidify output is on. The triangle under dehumidify set point will be on while 
dehumidify output is active (turned off, because this output is reverse logic).
 
Auto changeover
 
When auto changeover mode is selected, a change from heat to cool (or vice versa) will not occur until an opposite mode 
demand has existed for 20 minutes. If set point is changed, the 20 minute requirement is deleted. Auto changeover mode can 
be disabled. Builder’s and Standard Programmable thermostats are manual changeover.
 
Emergency heat mode
 
When thermostat is controlling a heat pump and emergency heat is selected, all Y signals are locked out, and W becomes 
energized upon a call for heat.
 
Smart Recovery (Programmable models)
 
With Smart Recovery selected, transition out of setback begins a fixed time period before selected recovery time and gradually 
adjusts room temperature so that the desired temperature will be achieved at selected recovery time. 
 
Room Temperature Offset (All models)
 
Room temperature may be deliberately offset by up to 5°F in either direction.
 
Maximum On/Off Deadband
 
Maximum sensed temperature difference between ON and OFF is 0.8°F for Builder’s thermostats and 0.6°F for all other 
models.
