About YourHeat Pump (3800 Series only)
Heat pmnps can save money by removing heat
fl'om the outside air----even when the outside
temperature is below freezing--and releasing
that heat indom_.
To get the best pet_kmnance flxm_ ):ore" heat
l)ump, don't change the room them_ostat ve_y
otten. Raising the heat setting 2-3 degrees will
cause the Zoneline to use its electric heating
elements in order to reach the new temperatm'e
setting quickly.
There is a three mimlte minimum compressor
run time at any setting to prevent short cycling.
The indoor tim motor sta_*s befl)re the
COllll)I'essoI" and stops aJ[teI" the coI/ll)I'essoI"

The electric heating elements use much

Temperature Limiting
TemI)erature limiting can reduce energy/costs
by limiting the lowest temperatm'e that can be
set for cooling and the highest temperatm'e that
can be set fi)r heating. Temperature limiting is
controlled by the second six auMliarv switches.
The fit_t three switches are used to select the
cooling limits, and the remaining three switches
are used to control the heating limits. This
teatm'e is not available with the Remote
Them_ost;_t--Class 2.
