CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION
5
This thermostat has a time delay between cooling cycles to allow
the head pressure in the compressor to stabilize. If the tempera-
ture is adjusted to call for cool within 5 minutes of the last cycle the
snowflake icon will blink indicating the thermostat is locked out.
After 3 to 5 minutes, the compressor will start and the snowflake
icon will stop flashing. This helps prevent the compressor from
cycling too quickly and is normal operation for the thermostat.

Before you begin using your thermostat, you should be familiar
with its features and with the display and the location and
operation of the thermostat buttons. Your thermostat consists of
two parts: the thermostat cover and the base. To remove the
cover, gently pull it straight out from the base. To replace the
cover, line up the cover with the base and press gently until the
cover snaps onto the base.

Operating Features
• TEMPERATURE DISPLAY ADJUSTMENT — Your new
thermostat has been accurately set in our factory. However,
if you wish, you may adjust your new thermostat temperature
display to match your old thermostat. This can be accom-
plished (within a ±3° range) as follows:
Now that you are familiar with the thermostat buttons and display,
read the following information to learn about the many features of
the thermostat.

your desired setting.
3. Move SYSTEM switch from OFF to exit the feature.
• °F/°C CONVERTIBILITY — The factory default setting is
Fahrenheit. Clipping W904 jumper on the circuit board (see
fig. 1) will alter this feature to Celsius temperature setting.
• DISPLAY BACKLIGHT — (Not available on earlier models.)
The display backlight improves display contrast in low light-
ing conditions. Selecting backlight ON will turn the light on for
a short period of time after any button is pressed. Selecting
backlight OFF (default) will keep the light off. Turn the display
backlight feature ON as follows:
• LOW BATTERY INDICATOR — If the 2 “AAA” alkaline
batteries are low and should be replaced, the display will be
blank except for “LO BATTERY”. When the batteries are low,
pressing any button will cause the display to operate for ten
seconds. After ten seconds, the display will be blank except for
“LOBATTERY”.After“LOBATTERY”hasbeendisplayedfor
4 weeks, the thermostat will raise the temperature 10° above
your setpoint in COOL mode and drop the temperature 10°
below your setpoint in HEAT mode. You cannot program with
low batteries, but you can override setpoint temperature.

Symptom
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
No Heat/No Cool/No Fan
(common problems)
1. Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.
2. Furnace power switch to OFF.
Replace fuse or reset breaker.
Turn switch to ON.
3. Furnace blower compartment door or
panel loose or not properly installed.
Replace door panel in proper position to engage
safety interlock or door switch.
No Heat
1. Pilot light not lit.
Re-light pilot.
2. SYSTEM Switch not set to HEAT.
Set SYSTEM Switch to HEAT and raise setpoint
temperature above room temperature.
3. Loose connection to thermostat or system.
Verify thermostat and system wires are securely
attached.
4. Furnace Lock-Out Condition. Heat may also
be intermittent.
Many furnaces have safety devices that shut
down when a lock-out condition occurs. If the
heat works intermittently contact the furnace
manufacturer or local service person for
assistance.
5. Heating system requires service or
thermostat requires replacement.
Diagnostic: Set SYSTEM Switch to HEAT and
raise the setpoint above room temperature. Within
a few seconds the thermostat should make a soft
click sound. This sound usually indicates the
thermostat is operating properly. If the thermostat
does not click, try the reset operation listed below.
If the thermostat does not click after being reset
contact your heating and cooling service person
or place of purchase for a replacement. If the
thermostat clicks, contact the furnace manufac
turer or a service person to verify the heating is
operating correctly.
No Cool
1. SYSTEM Switch not set to Cool.
Set SYSTEM Switch to COOL and lower setpoint
temperature below room temperature.
2. Loose connection to thermostat or system.
Verify thermostat and system wires are securely
attached.
3. Cooling system requires service or
thermostat requires replacement.
Same procedure as diagnostic for No Heat
condition except set the thermostat to COOL and
lower the setpoint below the room temperature.
There may be up to a five minute delay before the
thermostat clicks in Cooling.

Possible Cause
Corrective Action
Heat, Cool or Fan Runs Constantly.
1. Possible short in wiring.
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

service person can instruct you on how to test the
Heat/Cool system for correct operation. If the
system operates correctly, replace the thermostat.
Furnace Cycles Too Fast or Too Slow
(narrow or wide temperature swing)
1. The location of the thermostat and/or the
size of the Heating System may be
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 acceptable cycle rate is not achieved as
received or by clipping W-905 contact a local
service person for additional suggestions.
Cooling Cycles Too Fast or Too Slow
(narrow or wide temperature swing)
1. The location of the thermostat and the size
of the Cooling System can influence the
cycle rate.
The cycle rate for cooling is fixed and can not be
adjusted. Contact a local service person for
suggestions.
Thermostat Setting and Thermostat
Thermometer Disagree
1. Thermostat thermometer setting requires
adjustment.
The thermometer can be adjusted +/- 3 degrees.
See Temperature Display Adjustment in the
Operation section.

Not Responding
1. Voltage spike or static discharge.
2. Battery change required.
Replace batteries and check heat/cool system
for proper operation. If a voltage spike occurs use
