Check each wire connection to verify they are not
shorted or touching together. No bare wire should
stick out from under terminal screws. Try resetting
the thermostat as described above. If the condition
persists the manufacturer of your system or

influencing the cycle rate.
Digital thermostats normally provide precise
temperature control and may cycle faster than
some older mechanical models. A faster cycle rate
means the unit turns on and off more frequently
but runs for a shorter time so there is no increase
in energy use. If you would like to increase the
cycle time, clip Jumper W-905 as mentioned in the
instructions for Hydronic Heating Systems. It is not
possible to shorten the cycle time. If an accept-
able cycle rate is not achieved as received or by
clipping W-905 contact a local service person for
additional suggestions.
