HVAC System Connection The thermostat connects to the HVAC system’s thermostat connections just like a traditional thermostat does. HVAC System Compatibility The thermostat is compatible with most heating and cooling systems. There are two types of HVAC systems: Standard (gas/electric) and Heat Pump systems. The system type is selectable from the Installer Screen – System Settings – Mechanical Settings submenu. For Standard HVAC systems: Gas heating or Electric heating.
HVAC System Operation and Setup General Heating and Cooling Operation In the HEATING mode, the heating system will be turned on at one degree below the setpoint and will turn off at the setpoint. This turn on and turn off offset is referred to as the heating setpoint “delta T” and is adjustable in the Installer Settings menu of the THERMOSTAT. It is set to the one degree operation by default.
Setup Heat Pump System Type Selection To set the Thermostat for Heat Pump HVAC operation, change the Type in the Installer Settings – System Settings – Mechanical Settings menu option to Heat Pump. Changeover Type Selection Most heat pump systems are designed to work normally in the heating mode and require a change over output for cooling output. Change the C/O Type in the Installer Settings – System Settings – Mechanical Settings menu option to match your system needs.
INSTALLATION Power The thermostat requires 24VAC power from the HVAC system it is controlling. Connect the 24VAC Common (typically the Blue wire/terminal) and 24VAC R (typically the Red wire/terminal) from the HVAC system to the thermostats HVAC System terminal block 24VCom and 24V RH or 24V RC terminals (the RH and RC terminals are default tied together) Common or Split Transformer Systems Most HVAC systems have a common heating and cooling transformer.
