The Heat On symbol is shown on the display when the thermostat is heating. The cooling setpoint can be set from 45 to 100°F (7.0 to 38.0°C). Heating for freeze protection is provided whenever the air or floor temperature falls below 40°F (4.5°C), regardless of operating mode. The Cool On symbol is shown on the display when the thermostat is cooling. The thermostat supports two heating system types: conventional or heat pump. A conventional heating system includes furnaces, air conditioners, hydronic heating systems, and electric heating. A heat pump system may include additional heat sources as backup. The thermostat supports up to four heating stages for heat pump systems.
- Page 28: When radiant floor heating is installed, it is always the first stage of heating, followed by the heat pump, and lastly any backup heating. Emergency Heat mode shuts off the heat pump Y1 and Y2 relays and operates the auxiliary heat, which is usually more expensive. Each heating stage has an adjustable differential and time delay setting to determine when the stage turns on. Radiant floor heating is operated differently than other heating types due to the large time delays to heat and cool the slab. The W1 relay operates using Pulse Width Modulation for radiant floor heating. The thermostat can measure room temperature between -46 to 212°F (-43 to 100°C). Room temperature can be measured using a combination of the built-in and auxiliary sensors. The heating stages shut off at specific temperature differentials. Accessory options include humidifier, dehumidifier, and HRV/ERV ventilator. The O relay remains closed during heating operation, while the B relay remains closed during cooling operation.
- Page 29: Floor sensor for radiant floor heating The thermostat can measure floor temperature between -46 to 212°F (-43 to 100°C). Floor minimum and maximum settings are available when a floor sensor is connected. The floor heating setpoint is adjustable from 40 to 95°F (4.5 to 35°C). A floor minimum can prevent a fast drop in temperature caused by receding solar exposure. A floor maximum is recommended for rooms with hardwood floors. Setting floor minimum and maximum temperatures enhances comfort while protecting floor coverings. If there are multiple floor temperature sensors, the temperature is averaged. It’s possible to heat a radiant floor while the cooling system is operating. The heating system can automatically shut off based on outdoor temperature and the WWSD setting.
- Page 30: HRV / ERV ventilator operation is essential for maintaining indoor air quality. The thermostat can operate a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) or energy recovery ventilator (ERV) on a timer. The Accessory 1 relay operates the ventilator fan at low speed. The thermostat supports water-to-air heat pump systems. It absorbs or rejects heat to a hydronic building loop. When the heat pump compressor relay is activated, the Accessory 1 relay closes to open a hydronic zone valve. This allows variable speed pumps on the hydronic loop to operate at lower speeds. This operation saves electrical energy.
- Page 31: Error messages will trigger an email notification to the registered mobile account owner. Communication error occurs when the display module and HVAC Interface Module lose connection and clears automatically once re-established. Memory error indicates corrupted thermostat memory settings, which can be cleared by loading factory defaults. Internal room sensor fault prevents the thermostat from reading the internal room temperature sensor, stopping operation unless certain conditions are met. Internal humidity sensor fault stops the thermostat from controlling humidity unless an external sensor is installed. Sensor 1 fault indicates an issue with the sensor wired to S1 and Com, halting normal operation under specific conditions. Sensor 2 fault indicates an issue with the sensor wired to S2 and Com, halting normal operation under specific conditions. Sensor 3 fault indicates an issue with the sensor wired to S3 and Com, halting normal operation under specific conditions. Errors related to sensors cannot be field repaired and require contacting a sales representative for warranty or repair procedures. Auxiliary sensor wires should be checked for short circuits according to the installation manual, and replacement may be necessary.
