Installation and User Guide  
7. Troubleshooting  
Reset Operation  
If a voltage spike or static discharge blanks out the display or causes erratic thermostat operation you can reset the thermostat by  
pressing  
and  
at the same time when system is switched from “OFF” to “HEAT” position. This also resets the factory defaults.  
If the thermostat has power, has been reset and still does not function correctly contact your heating/cooling service person or place of  
purchase.  
Batteries  
For optimum performance, we recommend replacing batteries once a year with fresh “AAA” alkaline batteries.  
SYMPTOM  
POSSIBLE CAUSE  
CORRECTIVE ACTION  
No Heat/No Cool/No Fan  
(common problems)  
1. Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.  
2. Furnace power switch to OFF.  
Replace fuse or reset breaker.  
Turn switch to ON.  
3. Furnace blower compartment door or  
panel loose or not properly installed.  
1. Pilot light not lit.  
Replace door panel in proper position to engage  
safety interlock or door switch.  
Re-light pilot.  
No Heat  
2. System Switch not set to HEAT.  
Set System Switch to HEAT and raise setpoint above room temperature.  
Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached.  
3. Loose connection to thermostat or system. Many furnaces have safety devices that shut down when a lock-out condition  
occurs. If the heat works intermittently contact the furnace manufacturer or  
local service person for assistance.  
4. Furnace Lock-Out Condition. Heat may  
also be intermittent.  
Diagnostic: Set System Switch to HEAT and raise the setpoint above room  
temperature. Within a few seconds the thermostat should make a soft click  
sound. This sound usually indicates the thermostat is operating properly.  
If the thermostat does not click, try the reset operation listed above. If the  
thermostat does not click after being reset contact your heating and cooling  
service person or place of purchase for a replacement. If the thermostat clicks,  
contact the furnace manufacturer or a service person to verify the heating is  
operating correctly.  
5. Heating system requires service or  
thermostat requires replacement.  
No Cool  
1. System Switch not set to COOL.  
Set System Switch to COOL and lower setpoint  
below room temperature.  
2. Loose connection to thermostat or system. Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached.  
3. Cooling system requires service or  
thermostat requires replacement.  
Same procedure as diagnostic for No Heat condition except set the thermostat  
to COOL and lower the setpoint below the room temperature. There may be  
up to a five minute delay before the thermostat clicks in Cooling.  
Check each wire connection to verify they are not shorted or touching  
together. No bare wire should stick out from under terminal screws. Try  
resetting the thermostat as described above. If the condition persists the  
manufacturer of your system or service person can instruct you on how to test  
the Heat/Cool system for correct operation. If the system operates correctly,  
replace the thermostat.  
Heat, Cool or Fan Runs Constantly. 1. Possible short in wiring.  
2. Possible short in thermostat.  
3. Possible short in heat/cool/fan system.  
4. Fan Switch set to Fan On.  
Furnace (Air Conditioning) Cycles  
Too Fast or Too Slow (narrow or  
wide temperature swing)  
1. The location of the thermostat and/or the  
size of the Heating (Cooling) System may  
be influencing the cycle rate.  
Digital thermostats normally provide precise temperature control and may  
cycle faster than some older mechanical models. A faster cycle rate means  
the unit turns on and off more frequently but runs for a shorter time so there  
is no increase in energy use. If you would like to increase the cycle time, clip  
Jumper W-905 as mentioned in the instructions for Hydronic Heating Systems.  
It is not possible to shorten the cycle time. If an acceptable cycle rate is not  
achieved as received or by clipping W-905 contact a local service person for  
additional suggestions.  
Thermostat Setting and Thermostat 1. Thermostat thermometer setting requires  
Thermostat thermometer can be adjusted +/-3 degrees. See Temperature  
Display Adjustment in the Operation section  
Thermometer Disagree  
Blank Display and/or Keypad Not  
Responding  
adjustment.  
1. Voltage spike or static discharge,  
Use the Reset Operation listed above.
