ture. The blower should come on immediately on high speed,
followed by cold air circulation. However, if the fan is running
but the compressor is not running and the word COOL is

The O/B switch on this thermostat is factory set to the “O”
position. This will accommodate the majority of heat pump
applications, which require the changeover relay to be ener-
gized in  COOL. If the thermostat you are replacing or the heat
pump being installed with this thermostat require the “B” termi-
nal, to  energize the changeover relay in HEAT, the O/B switch
must be moved to the “B” position.

Armchair Programming is a unique feature that allows your
thermostat to be programmed before being mounted on the wall.
If you do not want to Armchair Program, the thermostat can be
programmed after being mounted on the wall and system power
turned on.

If you wish to Armchair Program your thermostat, temporarily
hold a new 9-volt battery against the wires in the battery cutout
on the back of the thermostat base for approximately 45 sec-
onds. This will provide a charge that will last approximately 30
to 45 minutes to allow the thermostat to be programmed. After
programming, the thermostat must be mounted on the wall,
wires connected and system power turned on.

To have sufficient time to complete the installation without losing
the programming, hold the 9-volt battery to the terminals on the
back of the base for 30 to 45 seconds again after programming
the thermostat. The battery must be removed before mounting
the thermostat on the wall.

The first stage  has anticipation that can be set to 2.5 or 4 cycles
per hour for heating or cooling. The second stage heat has a
fixed anticipation. To change the first stage anticipation in the
HEAT or COOL mode, press SET TIME and VIEW PRGM
buttons at the same time until the desired setting is displayed
(S for slow (factory setting) or F for fast).

If at any time during testing your system does not operate
properly, contact a qualified serviceperson.

1. Turn on power to the system.

2. Move SYSTEM switch to OFF position.

This thermostat has a built-in short term (5-minute)
time delay. During this 5-minute period, the thermo-
stat will lock out the compressor to allow head pres-
sure to stabilize. If you want to override this feature

while testing thermostat operation, simply press 

and 

 at the same time.
