ATTENTION INSTALLING PERSONNEL
As a professional installer you have an obligation to know the product better than the customer. This includes
all safety precautions and related items.
Prior to actual installation, thoroughly familiarize yourself with this Manual. Pay special attention to all safety
warnings. Often during installation or repair it is possible to place yourself in a position which is more hazardous
than when the unit is in operation.
Remember, it is your responsibility to install the product safely and to know it well enough to be able to instruct
a customer in its safe use.
Safety is a matter of common sense...a matter of thinking before acting. Most dealers have a list of specific
good safety practices...follow them.
The precautions listed in this Installation Manual are intended as supplemental to existing practices. However,
if there is a direct conflict between existing practices and the content of this manual, the precautions listed here
take precedence.
Remember to leave this manual with the homeowner.

Typical Thermostat Operation
Your thermostat is the control center for your Split System. It is very important that the thermostat be located where it
can best “sense” the average room temperature. It must not be located where it is exposed to hot or cold drafts or to
hot or cold spots on the wall, such as those received from outside walls, walls with pipes inside, or from openings into
the attic. Because of the wide variety of programmable thermostats available, we cannot describe how all of them
work. However, a typical thermostat has two switches: a SYSTEM switch and a FAN switch.
WARNING
To avoid possible equipment damage, personal injury, fire or death, the
following instructions must be observed regarding unit location, air
requirements and operating procedures.
The SYSTEM switch can include settings of HEAT,
OFF, COOL, AUTO:
HEAT – Your comfort system provides heat when
the temperature in the room falls below the
temperature selected. No matter how warm
the room becomes, cooling will not be provided.
OFF – Your comfort system will not provide heating
or cooling, no matter how cold or hot the
room becomes.
COOL– Your comfort system provides cooling when
the temperature in the room rises above the
temperature selected. No matter how cold
the room becomes, heat will not be provided.
AUTO– Your comfort system will provide heat when
the temperature in the room falls below the
temperature selected, and will provide cooling when the temperature in the room rises
above the temperature selected. With most
of these thermostats, you will have a temperature range in which neither heating or
cooling is being provided. The AUTO setting will help your building avoid temperature extremes, but it may increase your
operating costs.
EMERGENCY
HEAT – EMERGENCY HEAT is only used with heat
pumps. Emergency heat means the compressor (i.e., the outdoor unit) is turned off,
and your backup source (if present) will provide heat when the temperatures in the
room falls below the temperature selected.
(No matter how warm the room becomes,
cooling will not be provided.) The backup
source is usually electricity, but it may be a
gas or oil furnace. The EMERGENCY HEAT
setting may be used if you suspect a problem exists with the heat provided by the
compressor, but your dealer is not able to
service it immediately. With some comfort
systems, the EMERGENCY HEAT setting
may also be used to provide a quicker
warm-up of the room. Once the warm-up is
completed, you should usually return the
system switch to the HEAT or AUTO setting.
If you leave the system switch in the EMERGENCY HEAT setting, it may increase your
operating costs.
NOTE: Keeping your windows closed whenever the
thermostat SYSTEM switch is in the HEAT, COOL or
AUTO setting will keep operating costs down.

The Fan switch may include settings of AUTO and ON:
AUTO– The indoor fan is operating when heating or
cooling is being provided. NOTE: With
some comfort systems, the indoor fan may
continue to run for a short time after the
compressor shuts off. With most gas furnaces, the indoor fan will start a short time
after the burners are lit, and will keep running for a short time after the burners shut
off. When your comfort system is not heating or cooling, the fan will not run.
ON – The indoor fan runs continuously.
