Installation Tips
When performing an attic installation, instead of placing the base module in the attic, locate the closet nearest to the air conditioning unit. Then mount the base module high on the wall inside the closet or on the ceiling of the closet. This location will insure the base module is below the 150°F maximum ambient temperature specification

Base Module – Basement Location

Wireless Range
Range between the thermostat and the base module is up to 100 feet with no obstructions and approximately 50 feet in standard residential construction. To extend the range try replacing the base unit higher if in a basement or further away from large metal objects

Stages of Heat

You can configure the thermostat to operate a 3 stage heat pump system.

2H 2C = 2 heat, 2 cool 3H 2C = 3 heat, 2 cool

This feature is shown only if the HEAT PUMP technician setup step is ON.

2H2C

STAGE

Use the or key to change between 2 or 3 stages of heat. 2 heat will use Y1 as first stage and W2 as auxiliary.

3 heat will use Y1 as the first stage, Y2 as the second stage and W2 as the auxiliary.

STAGES

Note:
Up to four indoor temperature sensors can be connected to one thermostat. This allows for 5 sensing points (zones). For example: the local (thermostat) plus four indoor sensors enables 5 sensing points. To connect an indoor sensor to a thermostat, select 1 on the FINDING SENSOR technician setup step. Then hold down the light button on the indoor sensor until it beeps, while in ZONE technician setup step on the indoor sensor. To connect a second indoor sensor change the thermostat to read 2 and change the indoor sensor to zone 2. The zone setting must match between the thermostat and the indoor sensor to connect. When the connection is established the thermostat will show FOUND + NAME of the indoor sensor in the system information area of display.

Balance Point: The system operates differently when a balance point is used. On a dual fuel system, the balance point outdoor temperature setting will be the outdoor temperature at which the thermostat chooses either the heat pump or gas furnace. For example: A balance point setting of 30°F will turn on only the heat pump above 30°F and only the gas furnace below 30°F. Y1 will be stage one above 30°F and W2 will be stage one below 30°F. A heat pump with electric auciliary will energize the heat pump above and below balance point. The electric auxiliary will only energize below balance point. For Example: A balance point setting of 40°F, will turn on the heat pump above 40°F and turn on the heat pump and electric auxiliary below 40°F.
