6. If no key is pressed for 3 minutes, the configuration mode will auto-
matically exit, returning the thermostat to normal operation.
Option 01 - Equipment type
You may need to make an adjustment to this setting depending on the system
you've connected. If you're unsure about your system type, refer to wiring
diagrams beginning on page 23.
Options:HP,H2,AC,A2,H,C
Description:
SHP controls 1 speed heat pump with 1 stage of auxiliary heat.
SA2 controls two stages of cooling and one stage of furnace heat.
SH2 controls a 2 Speed HP with 1 stage of auxiliary heat.
SAC controls 1 speed air conditioner with 1 stage of heat.
SH operates a heat only system: furnace or fan coil only; no outdoor unit.
SC operates a cool only system: outdoor AC unit with an indoor fan coil; no
strip heater support.
Option 03 - Fahrenheit/Centigrade
Default: Fahrenheit (F)
Selections: Fahrenheit (F), Centigrade (C)

15
Description: This selection operates the thermostat in either Fahrenheit or
Centigrade.
Option 04 - G (fan) ON with W(Heat) Selection
Default: G not energized with W (OF)
Options: G not energized with W (OF), G energized with W (ON)
Description: This selection determines whether the fan (G) is to be ON or
OFF when W (furnace or strip heat) is ON. Furnaces and fan coils which
manage their own blowers do not require a separate G signal. Some auxiliary
heaters require a separate G signal to operate the blower when W is applied.
Option 07 - Zoning
Default: Non-zoned system (OF)
Options: Non-zoned system (OF), Zoned system (ON)
Description: ON disables thermostat’s internal timers which are not needed
with zoning system controls. Must be set to OF for non-zoned systems.
Option 10 - Reversing Valve
Default: Reversing valve energized in cooling (C)
Options: Reversing valve energized in cooling (C), Reversing valve energized
in heating (H)
Description: Applies only when configured for Heat Pump applications. Most
systems use the orange (O) wire and are energized in cooling.
SSelect Energized in Cooling (C) if you connected an (O) wire in the O/B
terminal to activate the reversing valve output when there is a call for
cooling.
SSelect Energized in Heating (H) if you connected a (B) wire in the O/B
terminal to activate the reversing valve output when there is a call for
heating.

16
SIf you are unsure, consult your heating and cooling system equipment
installation instructions or contact Carrier customer support.
Option 11 - Minimum Deadband Between Heating And Cooling
Default: 02
Options: 01 through 06
Description: Sets the minimum allowable number of degrees between heating
and cooling setpoints. One setpoint will “push” the other to maintain this
difference.
Option 12 - Smart Recovery
Default: 90
Options: OF, 30, 60, 90
Description: The Smart Recovery feature transitions your home from one
temperature period
(P1, P2, P3, P4) to the next so that your home’s temperature matches the
temperature setting at the start of each time period. This means, for example,
that if your sleep period temperature setting is lower than the period that
precedes it, the thermostat will start cooling down the home before the
beginning of the scheduled sleep period. It does this at an energy-efficient
rate. This not only helps make your home as comfortable as possible, it also
makes your thermostat more cost effective.
Smart Recovery OF means setpoints change immediately at a program
schedule change. Thirty, 60, or 90 selects the number of minutes recovery
starts before programmed recovery time. Recovery takes place smoothly
during the selected recovery time, ending at the recovery time and
temperature which is programmed. If the setpoint is changed during smart
recovery, the smart recovery is cancelled and the new setpoint is effective
immediately.

17
Option 13 - Room Air Temperature Offset
Default: 0°F
Options: - 5°F to 5°F
Description: The number of degrees to be added to the displayed temperature
to calibrate the measured room temperature. The selected number is the
number of degrees, plus or minus, which will be added to actual temperature.
Thisoptionisin°FevenifOption03issetfor°C.
Option 15 - Auto Changeover
Default: Off (ON)
Options: On (ON), Off (OF)
Description: This feature allows the thermostat to automatically change
between heating and cooling mode as demand requires. If disabled (OF), the
thermostat maintains either heating or cooling mode only. Auto changeover is
not available when H or C is selected under Option 01.
Option 16 - Maximum Cycles Per Hour
Default: 4
Options:2,4,or6
Description: The maximum cycle rate is limited by internal timers to the
selected number of cycles per hour. Selection of a higher number causes
faster cycling resulting in more constant room temperature.
Option 17 - Minimum Time Between Equipment Stages
Default: 15
Options: 10, 15, 20, 25
Description: When there is an auxiliary stage of heat available, this is the
amount of time the heat pump must operate before the auxiliary stage can
turn on. With heat pumps, longer times can reduce the amount of auxiliary
heat used.

18
Option 18 - Backlight Configuration
Default: OF
Options: On (ON), Off (OF)
Description: When ON is selected and the thermostat is not battery operated,
a low level continuous display backlight is always on. With OF selected, the
backlight is only on for a short time after the door is opened or a key is
pressed. Continuous backlight is not available with battery operation.
Option 21 - Keypad Lockout
Default: Off (OF)
Options: On (ON), Off (OF)
Description: With OF selected, the keypad cannot be locked. With ON
selected the keypad will be locked and can be unlocked by simultaneously
pressing the UP and DOWN keys for 5 seconds. Once unlocked, it will re lock
2 minutes after the last keypad press. A “lock” icon is displayed while it is
locked.
Option 24 - Programmable/Non-Programmable
Default: Programmable (P)
Options: Programmable (P), Non-programmable (nP)
Description: Enabling nP mode disables programming. The clock is displayed,
but the program schedule, the HOLD and TEMPORARY HOLD functions are
disabled.
Option 25 - Number of Programmable Periods
Default: 4
Options:2,4
Description: The number of programmable periods available in your schedule
per day.
