Step 1

Select Auto Mode. Then select save

Once the auto changeover option has been selected, touch SAVE.  

Enable or Disable: Choose to enable or disable auto changeover mode. Default = Enable

NOTE: AUTO mode is intended to switch between Heating and Cooling modes based on temperature demand. A gradual auto transition is the energy–conscious default that will satisfy the majority of customers. Some customers might have significant and simultaneous heating and cooling demands in different zones. To address this need, a special simultaneous heating and cooling demand auto mode could be enabled by the Installer.

Step 2

Select heat/cool deadband then save

Heat/Cool Dead band

The minimum difference enforced between heating and cooling desired temperatures. The dead band does not change when the user changes between Fahrenheit and Celsius.

Ex: A 2° dead band will be 2°F or 2°C and does not change with units. This can allow one setting to “push” the other to maintain this difference. When the correct dead band is set, touch SAVE.

Dead band: Adjustable from 0 to 6; Default = 2.
