Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION. These words are used with the safety–alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies a hazard that could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which may result in minor personal injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions that will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.
The Côr 5 series and Côr 7 series thermostat models are 7–day, 5/2–day, 1–day programmable wall–mounted, low–voltage controls. The Côr 7 and Côr 7C combine temperature and humidity control in the units. The Côr Thermostats have no need for batteries to store user-configured settings in memory. During power loss its internal memory saves settings for unlimited time, and the clock continues to run for at least 12 hours.
A Two–Wire Relay Module option for the Côr 7 series thermostats allows them to connect to a system using only two thermostat wires at the wall. The Two-Wire Relay Module is located near the indoor equipment and two wires are used between the thermostat and the Two–Wire Relay Module.

Room air temperature can be sensed in one of three ways; the local sensor (L) located on the Display Module, the remote room air sensor (r), or the average of local and remote sensors (Lr). Settings are L, r, Lr.
Default is L.
SW10 —Reversing Valve
This selection is only available on heat pump systems. “O” terminal can be configured to be energized in either heating mode or in cooling mode, depending on heat pump operation. “O” is used to describe a heat pump system that energizes its reversing valve in cooling. “B” is used to describe a heat pump system that energized its reversing valve in heating.
SW11 —Deadband Setting Between Heat & Cool
This option is NOT available on Heat Only and Cool Only systems. The selection allows the installer to choose how much differential exists between the heating and cooling setpoints. Allowable selections are 1 thru 6.
The default is 2.
SW12 —Smart Recovery
Smart Recovery OFF means setpoints change precisely at setback recovery time. 30, 60, or 90 selects the number of minutes recovery starts before programmed recovery time. Recovery takes place smoothly during the selected recovery time, ending at the recovery time and temperature which is programmed. Not available when thermostat is configured as non–programmable.
The default is 60.
SW13 —Room Air Temperature Offset Adjust
The number of degrees to be added to the displayed temperature to calibrate or deliberately miscalibrate the measured room temperature (–5 to +5_F).
The default is 0.
SW14 —Humidity Display Offset Adjust
The percentage to be added to the displayed humidity to calibrate or deliberately miscalibrate the measured room humidity (–9% to +9% RH).
Default is 0.
SW15 —Enable Auto Mode
This selection is not available if the Thermostat is configured as Heat Only or Cool Only in SW1. This allows the homeowner to select auto
changeover mode in addition to heat and cool. This allows the Thermostat to automatically change between heating mode and cooling mode when sufficient demand for heating or cooling exists.
SW16 —Maximum Cycles Per Hour
This selection limits the number of cycles per hour that the Thermostat allows the system to operate. Selections are 2, 4, 6.
SW17 —Minimum Time Between Equipment Stages
This selection is only available for heat pump systems. This determines the minimum number of minutes of equipment operation on the highest compressor stage before allowing the transition to auxiliary heat. Available selections are 10, 15, 20, and 25. The minimum time between stages of any individual piece of equipment, such as low speed and high speed compressor or fan coil stages, will be fixed at 10 minutes.
Default is 15.
SW18 – not used
SW19 —Dry Contact Configuration (With optional Two–Wire Relay Module)
There are 3 available selections, OFF, 1 and 2.
This selection is programmable by period. When this selection is changed from OFF to VENT, Ventilation will be available in the homeowners menu under schedule (from the home screen tap menu, select when schedule is blinking then the up/dn arrow to ventilation). Wake will be shown above the min/hr. the up/dn arrow will adjust min/hr between 0 and 60. Press Next to move through the four periods and set the times per period. See Operational Information and Wiring Diagrams for further explanation of dry contact configuration and use in the Two–Wire Relay Module installation instructions. DEHUM—The dry contact will operate as a DH relay. This relay is reverse logic.When the humidity level is above the dehumidify setpoint, the dry contact D1–D2 will be opened. When the humidity level is below the dehumidify setpoint, D1–D2 will be closed. There is a +/– 2% hysteresis around the dehumidifier setpoint to prevent rapid on/off cycling of the DH output. When configured for dehumidification, the Rc terminal must be connected to one of the dry contact terminals. This provides power to energize the dehumidify terminal on the cooling equipment when the dry contact is closed. See Wiring Diagrams for more information.
Default is OFF.
SW20 —Outdoor Air Temperature Offset Adjustment
This selection allows the calibration, or deliberate miscalibration of the outdoor air temperature sensor reading. The selection ranges from –5 to +5_F.
Default is 0.
SW22 —High Cool Latch Temperature
Only available if outdoor sensor is present or Wi–Fi weather is setup for the high cool latch feature.
This selection is only available when SW1 is set to H2, A2, or h2 and when SW7 (zoning) is set to OFF. Configuration settings are OFF, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, On.

This selection allows the installer to configure the Thermostat as either programmable or non–programmable. Selections are P, nP.
Default is P.
SW25 —Number of Programmable Periods
This selection allows the installer to configure the Thermostat for two or four periods per day. Two periods is a common commercial application and four periods is more common for residential. This selection is not available if SW24 has been set to nP to configure the
Thermostat for non—programmable operation.
SW26 —Minimum Cooling Setpoint
This selection allows the installer to configure the minimum cooling setpoint that the user is allowed to set. The range is based on the value of the adjustable deadband SW11, such that the minimum of the range is 50_F/10_C plus the adjustable deadband and the maximum is 90_F/32_C.
Default is 52_F/11_C (based on the adjustable deadband default = 2).
SW27 —Maximum Heating Setpoint
This selection allows the installer to configure the maximum heating setpoint. The range is based on the adjustable deadband value SW11, such that the minimum of the range is 50_F/10_C and the maximum is 90_F/32_C minus the headband. Default is 88_F/31_C (based on the adjustable deadband default = 2).
SW28 —UV Light Reminder
This selection allows the installer to select the number of months after which the UV Light reminder will be displayed to indicate to the homeowner that it is time to call the dealer to have the UV Lights replaced. Selections available are OFF, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48.
SW29 —Humidifier Pad Reminder
This selects the number of months after which the Humidifier Pad Reminder will be displayed. This is not based on run time.
SW30 —Programmable Fan
This selection allows the homeowner to program the fan selection to “Auto” or “On” fan operation for each of the program schedule periods.
Also they can program air circulation by period.
SW32 —Furnace Heat Staging Control (available only when the Thermostat is configured to operate AC or A2 equipment).
SW34 — Hybrid Heat Furnace Latch
This selection allows a Hybrid Heat system to finish a heating cycle using the furnace.
SW35 – Advanced Smart Setback
This selection enables the Advanced Smart Setback algorithm.
SW40 —Humidify Fan
This selection controls whether humidification can only be done when a heating demand is present. If the homeowner turns humidification
OFF, this configuration operates as if the selection was set to OFF.
SW41 —Variable Speed Blower
This selection allows the installer to select between a single-speed or variable motor. In a system with a two speed compressor (A2, h2, H2), if a dehumidification demand exists and the compressor is energized for cool to dehumidify, cooling, or both, and the system has a PSC blower (SW41 = OFF), then both Y/Y2 and Y1/W2 are energized.
SW42 —Variable Speed Super Dehumidification
This option will only be available if the Variable Speed Blower setup (SW41) has been set to ON.
SW43 —Intelligent Heat Staging
This function is only available if the equipment configuration is a single-speed heat pump (SW01 = HP).
This switch should be set to On if the HVAC equipment has two banks of strip heaters. When electric heat is required, the thermostat will energize the smallest bank first (W1 only), then the larger bank (turning the smaller bank off — Y1/W2 only), and then both banks together (both W1 and Y1/W2). When power is cycled to the thermostat, this unit configuration will be displayed as HS.
Factory defaults is OFF.
SW44 —Super Comfort Heat
This option is only available on heat pump units HP (HP, H2, hh1, and h2) when SW41 (Variable Speed Blower) is set to On and the system
has a valid outdoor air temperature sensor or Wi–Fi connection with weather setup
If the outdoor air temperature is between 12 to 40_F (–11 to 4_C) and the compressor is running in heating, then the fan output is turned off.
This will signal the variable speed blower to reduce the airspeed. The fan output is turned off even if the user has the fan selection set to the continuous fan. The fan output will be turned back on in this temperature range if the maximum capacity of auxiliary heat is on due to system demand (auxiliary heat on in response to a defrost signal shouldn’t cause the fan to turn back on). If the outdoor air temperature is below 12_F/–11_C and there is sufficient demand for the equipment to be on, then the fan output is turned back on and the W/W1 output is energized. In a two speed unit the Y/Y2 output should be energized in addition to the W/W1 output. This logic does not apply to a Hybrid Heat system. In the unlikely event that the installer has selected a heat pump lockout temperature (SW09) of 5_F/–15_C in a Hybrid Heat system and the comfort heat feature is on, then the comfort heat feature will turn the W/W1 on and the compressors off when the outdoor air temperature drops below 12_F/–11_C instead of at the lower temperature of 5_F/–15_C.
NOTE: All temperature boundaries have a +/– 2_ hysteresis.
The factory default is OFF.
SW99 —Reset to Factory Defaults
Use this capability to reset the Thermostat to “out of the box” conditions. BEWARE! All configuration settings, program settings, clock, and calendar which have been manually entered will be lost! When this option is selected, the configuration number (SW99), will appear on the left and 10 will appear on the right. To perform the reset, first use the NEXT key to move the box from the SW99 to the 10. Then press and hold the DOWN key. The 10 will start counting down toward zero. If the DOWN key is kept pressed until the count reaches zero, the reset will be performed. When the value reaches zero, the room air temperature shall display Fd and “RESETTING..” in the text box. When the factory defaults have been restored, the Thermostat will act as if power was cycled and return to normal operation. If the DOWN key isreleased early, the number will return to 10 and the reset will not occur.
NOTE: If you reset to factory defaults you will need to reconfigure the thermostat for the connected equipment. To reset homeowner preferences exit the dealer setup menu and select menu from the home screen then select settings and go to item 14 “RST DEFAULT” to reset user preferences.
The Thermostat is designed with a built–in installer test capability. It allows easy operation of equipment without delays or setpoint adjustments to force heating or cooling. To enable installer Output Test mode, press and hold the fan button for 10 seconds. Pressing the The heat/Cool button will change the system operating mode to test the heating and cooling equipment based on the equipment setup. Auto Mode is not available during Installer Test Mode. If no buttons are pressed for 15 minutes, the installer test mode will be terminated. Pressing Heat/Cool mode button will stop the test but remain in Output Test mode. Pressing DONE or START at any time will exit installer test mode.
To Test Fan
Fan – The fan button switches FAN icon between AUTO and On. While On is displayed, G output will be energized, turning fan on. On some fan coils, fan continues to operate for 90 sec after G signal is removed.

Perfect Humidity / Idealr Humidity System technology (Standard Dehumidification + Super Dehumidification)
NOTE:
caution
PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in property damage.
Super dehumidification may cause the system/ductwork to sweat in some unconditioned installations in high humidity areas.
Perfectr Humidity / Idealr Humidity System Technology with FK/FV Fan Coils
Set up Perfectr Humidity / Idealr Humidity System Technology on an FK/FV Fan Coil:
Set the dehumidify option under Menu > Settings > Dehumidify > Normal. This will allow you to set the RH% desired for the home.
NOTE: The DHUM on the fan coil control board is active in the open state. The dry contact is active open for dehumidification. In other words, dehumidify output logic is reversed – output is turned On when no dehumidify demand exists and is turned Off when demand exists. Set the accessory to Dehum. On variable speed equipment it is necessary to ensure the thermostat is set for variable speed. To make these settings you need to enter the dealer menu.
Standard Dehumidification with FV/FK Fan Coils
Enhanced dehumidification is achieved by reducing the blower speed to 80% of the cooling blower speed during a call for dehumidification.
You can also choose to use Overcool to Dehumidify and set the cooling-off delay to 0 to prevent re–evaporating water on the coil after a cooling cycle.
Set up Standard Dehumidification on an FK–FV Fan Coil
Standard Dehumidification with FX4 Multi-tap ECM Fan Coils
For better Dehumidification, the D2 terminal on the Two–Wire Relay Module can be used to control a speed tap when there is a no call for dehumidification. The G terminal will be used to control a speed tap when there is a call for Dehumidification. The D2 terminal will need to be set up properly for dehumidification through the thermostat setup menu.
NOTE: Multi-tap ECM motors have multiple speed taps that need to be set properly when commissioning a system. It is the responsibility of the installation/service technician to ensure the equipment is maintaining a minimum of 315 CFM per ton. See the Fan Coil installation instructions for setting the speed taps correctly.
Set Up Standard Dehumidification on an FX4 Fan Coil
If Overcool to Dehumidify is disabled, you will get the following operation.
Ideal Humidity / Perfect Humidity System Technology with Infinity / Evolution Furnaces
Infinity and Evolution units are capable of full Ideal Humidityr / Perfect Humidity System Technology which included Super Dehumidification.
Set up Ideal Humidity / Perfect Humidity System Technology on an Infinity / Evolution Furnace
Enhanced dehumidification is achieved by reducing the blower speed to 90% of the cooling blower speed during a call for dehumidification. You can also choose to use Overcool to Dehumidify and set the cooling off delay to 0 to prevent–evaporating water on the coil after a cooling cycle.
When the call for cooling is satisfied and there is a demand for dehumidification, the cooling blower–off delay is decreased from 90 seconds
to 5 seconds. If the unit is in continuous fan, there will not be an off delay.
Set Up dehumidification on Performance / Preferred Furnaces
Furnace Dehumidification with Tapped ECM Motors
Dehumidification on these furnaces is enabled by dropping the blower motor speed from COOL to HEAT for a maximum of 10 minutes before reverting back to the COOL speed. If there is still a demand for dehumidification after 20 minutes, the blower will revert back to the HEAT speed. This alternating of 10 minute cycles will continue as long as there is a call for cooling and dehumidification. If Overcool to Dehumidify is being engaged, the blower continues to alternate until thermostat humidity is satisfied or the “Overcool” setpoint is reached (Overcool setpoint is determined by an Algorithm on the thermostat). When the call for cooling is satisfied and there is still a demand for dehumidification, the cooling speed is also the HEAT speed and the high stage Dehum speed.
NOTE: It is important and the responsibility of the installation/service technician to ensure the equipment is maintaining the proper airflow. Some speed taps now serve dual purposes and the airflow must be adequate for both purposes. The HEAT speed tap is also used for dehumidification speed and low stage cooling. Therefore; this tap must be within the heating rise range and adequate for low stage cooling and high stage dehumidification (315 CFM/ton).
Set Up Dehumidification on Furnaces with Tapped ECM Motors
Furnace Dehumidification with Carrier 58DLA/DLX, 58CTA/58CTX Models and Bryant 312A(J), 311A(J)
Models
These furnaces are equipped with the Dehum terminal on the control board. However; they are equipped with PSC motors. These motors do not hold CFM with high static ductwork like the ECM motors. Therefore, it is critical to get the blower motor speed taps correct. See furnace installation for motor performance.
Some places with very low humidity like to run AC units at higher airflow. This high airflows limits the amount of moisture removed by the air conditioner. Under most conditions, this is OK. However; sometimes when people are boiling water, etc. humidity can become an issue. This furnace allows you to run high airflow when no moisture removal is preferred and normal or lower airflow under high humidity conditions.
Setup and operation sequence for this furnace is the same as the setup for the Performance or Preferred furnaces. Follow those instructions once speed tap selections are chosen.
Standard Dehumidification with Geothermal
Ideal Humidityr / Perfect Humidityr System Technology and Super Dehumidification are not available on Geothermal at this time. However; extra dehumidification is available by slowing the fan speed (70 – 80%) when there is a call for cooling and dehumidification. Overcooling to dehumidify is also available. The dehumidification mode will not activate unless a relay like shown below is added.
NOTE:
Dehumidification with an Accessory Dehumidifier
When using an accessory dehumidifier, the dehumidify options in the menu will include Overcool to Dehumidify, Normal or Off. If you select Overcool to Dehumidify the dehumidifier accessory will not operate. To get the dehumidifier accessory to operate you need to select
Normal through the menu as follows:
No display
If the display doesn’t power up after power is applied, check the Rc/Rh and C terminals for 24VAC. When using the Two–Wire Relay Module on the Côr 7 series thermostats, check the voltage between Vg and V+. This voltage will be approximately 12–20VDC. If voltage is present, check the polarity to make sure it is wired correctly. The display will not power up if polarity is reversed.
If dashes appear for SW01 in config and during reboot, the problem could be the connection to the V+ and Vg terminals is reversed.

I can’t connect my thermostat to my commercial router?
There are some configurations of commercial type routers, like a Cisco router, that may not be compatible with the Côr 5C and Côr 7C Thermostat Wi–Fi radios. It depends on how the router is configured and what the settings are (i.e. as a router or an access point). You may need to install a TPLink router from your distributor to connect the thermostat to the network.
Does this thermostat have an input for an outdoor air temperature sensor?
Yes on the Côr 7 or Côr 7C thermostat a wired outdoor air temperature sensor can be added using the Two–Wire Relay Module accessory. The Côr 5 and Côr 5C thermostats do not support the Two–Wire Relay Module accessory and therefore cannot use a wired outdoor air temperature sensor.
Will the thermostat still work without an Internet connection?
Yes, the thermostat will continue to control the equipment without an Internet connection, although some of its advanced features may be impacted. However, If there is no weather data through the Internet but you have a wired outdoor air temperature sensor, there will be no impact to the advanced features using the outdoor temperature in its calculations.
What happens when weather data is not available?
The Côr 5C and Côr 7C thermostats can use Internet-based weather data to generate an outdoor air temperature reading for your home’s location. The Côr 7 series thermostats with the Two–Wire Relay Module can use a wired outdoor air temperature sensor to get the outdoor air temperature. Outdoor air temperature is used as an input for a few features (listed below).
Without weather data, the equipment will operate as follows:
Can I calibrate the thermostat’s temperature reading?
Yes, Temperature sensors used in modern thermostats have defined tolerance intervals of normal temperature readings. This means if multiples of the same thermostat models were installed side–by–side, it would be normal for different room temperatures to be displayed (e.g. one at 72_F and one at 71_F). However, there are product features and installation steps you can take to help ensure a comfortable environment.
Installation best practices for temperature and humidity accuracy:
On the thermostat:
The displayed room temperature will change to account for the adjustment you made.
Can I calibrate the thermostat’s humidity reading (Côr 7 & Côr 7C only)?
Yes, Temperature and humidity sensors used in modern thermostats have defined tolerance intervals of normal humidity readings. This means if multiples of the same thermostat models were installed side–by–side, it would be normal for different indoor humidity readings to be displayed (e.g. one at 42% and one at 43%). However, there are product features and installation steps you can take to help ensure a comfortable environment.
Installation best practices for temperature and humidity accuracy:
On the thermostat:
The displayed Indoor Humidity will change to account for the adjustment you made. The thermostat seems to be short cycling
The Thermostat controls the maximum number of heating or cooling cycles per hour to maintain home comfort to the setpoint. The thermostat can be set at 2, 4 or 6 cycle per hour with 4 being the default from the factory. At 4 cycles per hour the thermostat will run the system no more than once per 15 minutes including the 5 minutes needed for a compressor time guard and the heating or cooling time can’t run less than 3 minutes. So, if the system starts at 1pm it must run a minimum of 3 minutes and can’t start another heat or cooling cycle until1:15pm. The system can run longer (fewer cycles per hour) but never more often than the 4 cycles per hour.
Cycles / Hour | Minimum Minutes between Cycle Starts |
2 | 30 Minutes |
4 | 15 Minutes |
6 | 10 Minutes |
Why is the thermostat generating an auxiliary heat alert?
The thermostat can be configured to generate alerts when auxiliary heat has been running for a long time or when auxiliary heat is running above a given outdoor temperature. These alerts are intended to be informative and can be adjusted or disabled at any time on the thermostat or in the mobile app.
On the thermostat
What if I don’t have any dehumidification settings available?
If no relay module accessory is installed, the Dehumidify option will not be available. If dehumidification, the accessory relay module must be installed—purchased separately. The operation of the dry contact may be tested by using the installer test feature – see appropriate section of the installation instructions.
Why is my system not dehumidifying?
For dehumidification to operate the actual humidity must be higher than the set point. Also, the thermostat will not overcool more than 3 degrees below the cooling set point in order to dehumidify. Overcooling is not allowed below 70_F.
Why is my thermostat displaying a COMM ERROR?
If a communication error is displayed—only when using the accessory relay module—check the connections to be sure the proper voltage is present. This should be approximately 12–14VDC. Observer proper polarity. If the V+ and Vg wires are reversed, the display will not communicate with the relay module.
Why is my system heating, instead of cooling?
The reversing valve should be tested using the Installer Test Mode to cycle the output. Reasons for the reversing valve not cycling could be thermostat no configured correctly, thermostat not sending 24VAC, broken wire, bad reversing valve solenoid, stuck reversing valve.
What if my indoor fan isn’t running when the heat is on?
Refer to the furnace or fan coil installation instructions for information about G input with W. Some units require a G signal from the thermostat when W is energized. If there is no blower operation during heating, check the G with W setup option. A G signal may be required for your indoor unit during heating.
What if my A/C is running during cold weather?
If you experience unintended cooling during low outdoor temperatures, be sure an Outdoor Air Temperature sensor or an internet connection is active for the thermostat to read the outdoor temperature. If no outdoor temperature is available, the thermostat will allow cooling below 55 degrees of outdoor air temperature.
I have a Hybrid Heat system and the heat pump doesn’t run.
If you have a Hybrid Heating system and you don’t have an outdoor sensor or an active internet connection, the thermostat doesn’t have a way to determine the outdoor temperature. When this happens, the thermostat will skip over the heat pump heating and stage directly to gas furnace operation.
Why is my Heat Pump running at an outdoor temperature that is below my Heat Pump lockout setting?
If the heat pump started heating while the outdoor temperature was above the lockout temperature, then the outdoor temperature dropped below the lockout temperature, the heat pump will continue heating until the temperature set point is satisfied and the system shuts down. If the outdoor air temperature is still below the lockout temperature at the beginning of the next cycle, the gas furnace will run at the beginning of the cycle.
Why is my Gas Furnace running at an outdoor temperature that is above my Aux Heat lockout setting?
If the gas furnace started heating while the outdoor temperature was below the lockout temperature, then the outdoor temperature increased above the lockout temperature, the gas furnace will continue heating until the temperature set point is satisfied and the system shuts down. If the outdoor air temperature is still above the lockout temperature at the beginning of the next cycle, the gas furnace will run at the beginning of the cycle.
Why is my Electric Heat running at an outdoor temperature that is above my Aux Heat lockout setting?
If the thermostat does not have an outdoor air sensor or an active internet connection, it will not be able to lock out the aux heat until the outdoor temperature can be read, either by an outdoor air sensor or by using an active internet connection.
My thermostat says “Recovering”. What does that mean?
There is a feature called Smart Recovery built into the thermostat that will begin adjusting the room temperature target either 30, 60, or 90 minutes before the next scheduled activity, in preparation for a more conditioned setting. For example: if you have a Home heating setting of 72 degrees and your sleep setting is 61 degrees, with Smart Recovery set to 90 minutes, the system would start running in heating to adjust the indoor temperature 1 degree for each 10 minutes, starting 90 minutes before the 72 degree temperature is supposed to be in effect. During this 90 minute period, you WILL see the setpoint adjust as it ramps up or down. The display will tell you that the system is Recovering, so you know that this behavior is expected.
Why is my temperature either above my Heating setting or below my Cooling setting?
If your system mode is set to Auto, the thermostat will change from cooling to heating or from heating to cooling automatically. If your last call for conditioning was heat, the indoor temperature will need to reach the cooling set point and remain there for 30 minutes. At the end of 30 minutes, the thermostat will change to cooling and operate cooling to control the temperature. If the last call for conditioning was for cooling, the opposite will be true. The system will need to have a heating demand that lasts for 30 minutes before it will change from cooling to heating and then work to satisfy the heating demand.
Why has my unit been running for 10 minutes or more and has not staged to a higher capacity?
The minimum time between stages timer is 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minute period, there must be enough demand for higher capacity before the thermostat will energize the next higher capacity. Although the system is allowed to transition to a higher stage after 10 minutes, it is not required to.
Why is the humidifier not running when there is low humidity?
The humidifier will only run in the heating mode. There is a setting to allow the humidifier to run with the fan, but this is only allowed in the heating mode, while there is no heating demand. The humidify with fan feature will not work in the cooling mode or in the off mode. It will only run in the heating mode.
