- Page 11: Installation manual for the communicating, programmable thermostat includes important configuration notes for humidity control settings. Humidity configuration requires first stage heating or cooling to be active for a minimum of 5 minutes before energizing the second stage. Dehumidification output activates when humidity exceeds the setpoint, while humidification output activates when humidity is below the setpoint. The anticipator setting allows adjustment to correct temperature overshooting or undershooting. Adjusting the anticipator value affects thermostat sensitivity; lower values increase sensitivity, while higher values decrease it. The differential adjustment varies the degrees from the setpoint before a call for heating or cooling is made. Proportional integral logic uses a combination of temperature differential and operating time for heating or cooling stages. Cycles per hour setting allows adjustment of the maximum number of on/off cycles to maintain desired indoor temperature. The default setting for cycles per hour is 4, with options for tighter temperature control at 6 cycles. The document outlines various logic configurations for temperature control to meet setpoints effectively.
