3. When the fan activates, the “ ” icon is displayed
1. Whenthe room temperature rises above the set point, the heating system will turn off
and the and “ ” icon will be removed from the LCD display.
Cool mode
Cool mode:
1. Cooling is activated when the set point is lower than the room temperature.
2. When the system is cooling the “ ” icon will be displayed.
3. When the fan activates, the “ ” icon is displayed
4. Whenthe room temperature decreased below the set point, the cooling system will turn

Note: The fan will continue to run when the heating and cooling system turns off if the FAN button is
in the “ON” mode.
Auto mode
Auto Changeover mode (Non-Programmable only):
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.
