1. Heating and cooling will activate based on the set point, room temperature, differential and
dead band that was selected. The dead band prevents the heat and cooling from rapid
cycling from one to the other. The dead band is split around the set point so if a dead band
of 4°F (factory default) and differential of 1°F is selectedand the set pointis set at 72°F, the
coolingsystem will activate when room temperaturerises to 75°and will turn off when room
temperature cools to 74°F. The heating system will activate when the room temperature
drops to 69°F and will turn off when room temperature reaches 70°F.
