TROUBLESHOOTING

Overview

The Honeywell TH8320U and TH8321U Touch Screen Programmable Thermostats are advanced electronic controls designed for 24 Vac heating and cooling systems, as well as 750 mV heating systems. These thermostats offer a user-friendly touch screen interface, allowing for intuitive control and customization of your home's climate.

Function Description

The primary function of these thermostats is to provide precise and programmable control over heating and cooling systems. They allow users to set schedules for different times of the day (Wake, Leave, Return, Sleep) and days of the week, optimizing energy usage and comfort. The TH8320U and TH8321U models offer universal compatibility, supporting various system types including standard heat/cool, heat-only, cool-only, multistage conventional, and heat pump systems with or without auxiliary heat.

The TH8320U model provides basic programmable functionality with automatic or manual changeover between heating and cooling, and selectable system and fan operations (Heat-Off-Cool-Auto, Em. Heat for heat pumps; On-Auto-Circ). The TH8321U model expands on this by including a humidity sensor, enabling dehumidification control for enhanced indoor air quality.

Both models feature a real-time clock that automatically keeps track of the current time and day for up to ten years once set, ensuring schedules remain accurate. An LED indicator, visible when lighted, signals when the thermostat is in Emergency Heat mode or, if wired to an equipment monitor, when a check or fail signal is sent from the system.

Usage Features

The touch screen interface is a key usage feature, simplifying navigation and setting adjustments. Users interact with words or symbols that appear on the screen, pressing keys with their fingertips. The thermostat guides the user through various settings, from basic temperature adjustments to complex programming.

Key usage features include:

  • System Settings: Users can select between Heat, Off, Cool, Auto (automatic changeover between heating and cooling based on indoor temperature), and Em Heat (Emergency heat for heat pump systems, locking out the compressor).
  • Fan Settings: The fan can be set to On (continuous operation), Auto (fan runs only when heating or cooling system is active), or Circ (fan runs periodically to circulate air). Fan settings can also be integrated into the daily schedule.
  • Programmable Schedules: The thermostat comes with default program settings for Wake, Leave, Return, and Sleep periods, which can be customized to fit individual lifestyles. This allows for energy savings by adjusting temperatures when the home is unoccupied or during sleeping hours.
  • Installer Setup Menus: For initial setup and advanced customization, the thermostat provides Installer Setup Menus (Main, Regional, and Advanced Settings). These menus allow installers to configure the thermostat to match the specific heating and cooling system type, set cycles per hour (cph) for different stages, adjust temperature display units (°F or °C), and enable or disable features like daylight savings.
  • Remote Temperature Sensor (Optional): The thermostat supports optional outdoor or indoor remote temperature sensors, which can be used for display only or for control, particularly in select heat pump systems.
  • Heat Pump Specific Features: For heat pump systems, the thermostat offers specialized controls such as compressor lockout and auxiliary lockout temperatures, which prevent the compressor from operating below certain outdoor temperatures, relying instead on auxiliary heat for efficiency and system protection.
  • Dehumidification Droop Control (TH8321U): This feature actively manages indoor humidity by turning on the air conditioner. In high humidity conditions, the thermostat can run the air conditioner slightly below the temperature setpoint to achieve the desired humidity level while balancing it with temperature comfort.
  • Keypad Lockout: For security or to prevent unauthorized changes, the keypad can be partially or fully locked, restricting access to certain functions.

Maintenance Features

The TH8320U and TH8321U thermostats are designed for minimal maintenance, primarily focusing on power supply and periodic reminders.

  • Powering Options: The thermostat can be powered by three AAA alkaline batteries (optional, but recommended as a backup) or by a 24 Vac common wire. The battery compartment is easily accessible on the back of the thermostat.
  • Battery Replacement: If using batteries, the device will indicate when they need to be replaced, ensuring continuous operation.
  • Filter Change Reminders: The thermostat includes programmable reminders for furnace filter changes, based on run time days (e.g., 10, 30, 60, 90, 120, or 365 run time days). This helps ensure optimal system performance and air quality.
  • Humidifier Pad Replacement Reminder: For systems with humidifiers, there's a reminder for humidifier pad replacement, based on calendar days (e.g., 90, 180, or 365 calendar days).
  • UV Lamp Replacement Reminder: If a UV lamp is part of the HVAC system, the thermostat can be set to remind users for UV lamp replacement, based on calendar days (e.g., 365 calendar days).
  • Troubleshooting Guide: The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting section to help users diagnose and resolve common issues, such as the display not coming on, temperature settings not changing, or heating/cooling not activating. This guide offers possible causes and recommended actions, often referring back to Installer Setup Numbers for verification or adjustment.
  • Reset Function: The thermostat offers a reset option that restores all Installer Setup Options to default values and resets the schedule to its default setting, while retaining calendar settings and time. This can be useful for resolving complex configuration issues or starting fresh with settings.

Overall, the Honeywell TH8320U and TH8321U thermostats combine advanced control capabilities with user-friendly features and helpful maintenance reminders, making them a versatile solution for managing indoor comfort and energy efficiency.
