RUNTIME
Your GEOx has many output terminals and gives you a detailed view of how much each of these terminals has run, in Hours and Minutes.
This screen shows a cumulative total of runtime and these numbers cannot be reset without performing a full reset of the thermostat to factory defaults (not recommended).
Custom Settings: NETWORK
If your GEOx thermostat is not currently connected to a wifi network, please select “Configure USING APP” in the Network page
The thermostat will begin the WiFi joining process. To connect to a WiFi network, download the LUX Products app from the iOS App Store or the Google Play Store. Launch the LUX app, create an account, and log into the app. Once in the app, add a new thermostat by selecting the “+” at the top left corner of the app screen. The mobile app and thermostat screens will guide you through the WiFi joining process.
Custom Settings: Display
- Backlight:
Settings to adjust the duration of the display screen lighting, either “Off”, or from 5 to 15 seconds, or “Always On” (only observed by the thermostat when powered by 24 VAC System Power, or 5 VDC Micro USB).
Format:
Time options include 12HR (AM/PM) or 24HR (Military Time). Date options include the visual order of how the date is displayed. The temperature scale can be selected between degrees F/C. - Language:
At this time, only English is offered within the thermostat display. - Orientation:
This setting permits rotation of the entire display screen 90 degrees, to accommodate either Vertical or Horizontal mounting methods.
Custom Settings: System
- Set System:
These setting are used to configure the thermostat for your heating and/or cooling equipment. - Available Mode, System Type (equipment):
Choose each item in the following screens as appropriate for the equipment present in your system: - Stage-1 Swing:
This setting adjusts wide or narrow the temperature control feels. In most cases, the factory default of 0.25F works well. - No. of Stages:
The choices available will differ slightly depending upon the equipment you have selected in the previous screens. Select as appropriate for each individual system type. - Stage-2 Offset:
Valve Type (heat pump system type only):
This setting determines the switching style for the shared O/B terminal. When set to “O” this pin is energized at all times while in cool mode, and when set to “B” this pin is energized at all times while in heat mode.
AUX Offset (heat pump system type only):
When supplemental auxiliary heating is present with a heat pump, this setting determines how much the room temperature can decrease before calling for the supplemental heat source.
Temp Limits:
These are limits for how high or low the user can adjust the heating or cooling set point and are separately adjustable and flexible for both modes of operation.
Minimum Run:
ON Time sets the amount of time load-on event must remain on, to prevent short-cycling. OFF Time is how long the equipment remains off between cycles. SUSPEND prevents all delays for 10 minutes, so the system can be called for right away for testing purposes. After 10 minutes, all delays return to normal automatically.
De/Humidifier:
- OFF:
There are no RH% humidification or de-humidification control actions performed. - DE-HUMID:
- De-Humid No Fan: this is for a separate dehumidification device that does not require the system’s blower fan to run during a call for dehumidification.
- De-Humid W/Fan: this is for a separate dehumidification device that requires the system’s blower fan to run during a call for dehumidification.
- Cooling: This uses the air conditioning components in a flexible manner to try and achieve the target RH% set point without separate dehumidification equipment. This option provides a setting on the next screen which permits intentional “over-cooling” beyond the cool mode set temperature if the dehumidification RH% setpoint has not been reached. This setting allows up to 15F degrees of over-cooling. Dehumidification RH% setpoint range is from 40% to 80%
HUMID:
This is for controlling an in-duct humidifier, either powered with its own separate power source or the existing system’s 24 VAC transformer (see wiring options below).
The Humidification RH% setpoint range is from 10% to 60%.
AUTO-HUMID:
This is for controlling the same equipment as HUMID (above), however, the RH% setpoint is not directly adjustable by the user. The RH% setpoint is automatically adjusted and controlled with a sliding scale based on the present outdoor temperature.
| OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE | RH% SETPOINT |
| Less than –20F | 15% |
| Between –20F and –10F | 20% |
| Between –10F and 0F | 25% |
| Between 0F and 10F | 30% |
| Between 10F and 20F | 35% |
| Greater than 20F | 40% |
Humidification / De-Humidification Wiring Options
Calibration:
This allows the user to manually correct for any error in the perceived room temperature that is displayed and can also be used to synchronize multiple thermostats within the same home. Calibration can be set from -9F to +9F degrees from the default of 0F degrees of adjustment.
