Mode of Operation
The Daikin 668811101 thermostat is a programmable, auto changeover, single stage heat, single stage cool
thermostat. It functions with air conditioning, heat pumps, gas, oil or electric heat systems.
The thermostat activates the heating appliance when the room temperature is below the set heat temperature (by
the differential temperature) and the red indicator light on the thermostat will light. The Daikin 668811101 thermostat
will stop outputting and the red light will turn off when the call for heat has been satisfied. With heat pumps, the
thermostat will not let the compressor come on for 4 minutes after it turns off. This protects your compressor.
When the room temperature is greater than the set cool temperature (by the differential temperature), the cooling
device is activated and the green indicator light on the thermostat will turn on. The Daikin 668811101 thermostat will
stop outputting and the green light will turn off when the call for cooling is satisfied. The thermostat will not let the
compressor come on for 4 minutes after it turns off. This protects your compressor.
The Daikin 668811101 thermostat has five possible operating modes: OFF, Heat, Cool, Heat & Cool and Program
mode. In off mode, the thermostat will not turn on heating or cooling devices. The manual fan can be turned on in
all operating modes using the fan switch and the fan speed can be set in all operating modes using the fan speed
switch. In heat mode, the thermostat controls the heating system. In the Cool mode, the thermostat controls the
cooling system. In heat & cool mode, the thermostat controls both the heating and cooling systems. In program
mode, the thermostat will automatically be controlled by the set program. Program mode can function with heat
mode, cool mode or heat & cool mode. The clock display alternates with the set temperature display for heat & cool
mode.
The program schedule can be overridden by changing the set temperature ( or button). This puts the Daikin
668811101 thermostat thermostat into a 2 hour temporary hold. After 2 hours, it will automatically return to the
program schedule.
The Daikin 668811101 thermostat also has a button lockout feature. This enables the thermostat to be set to the
proper mode and temperature and locked so it cannot be tampered with.
