during an exceptionally warm period or upon installation when
the thermostat has been stored for a long period of time in a
warm vehicle or location prior to being installed. The
thermostat is equipped with a mechanical high temperature
safety switch that will turn off the thermostat should the
temperature exceed 99˚ F (37˚ C).
The temperature sensed by the thermostat is lower than the 45˚
F (7˚ C) lower limit of the thermostats display range. The display
will return to normal after the sensed temperature rises within
the 45˚ to 90˚ F (7˚ to 32˚ C) display range. If the temperature in
the controlled space seems to be normal, wait for the
thermostat to acclimate to the correct room temperature.
This condition could occur from the system being turned off
during a cold weather period or upon installation when the
thermostat has been stored for a long period of time in a cold
vehicle or location prior to being installed. The thermostat
should be allowed to warm up prior to installation to allow
proper heating control once installed.
