For your convenience, you or your installer should, or should

applicable to your system:

Operating Your Heating/Cooling Unit

The key to operating your comfort system is the conditioned

space thermostat. A wide variety of thermostats is used, but

all have one main function — to automatically maintain the

temperature in your building at a level required for your

personal comfort, or for a particular application e.g.

computer rooms. The thermostat maintains the indoor

temperature by controlling the operation of the unit. During
the heating season, whenever the temperature around your
thermostat drops below the thermostat temperature setting,
the thermostat automatically starts the heating section.

During the cooling season, whenever the temperature

around your thermostat rises above the thermostat tempera

ture setting, the thermostat automatically starts the cooling

section.

Your conditioned space thermostat has a temperature

control selector for selecting the desired indoor temperature.

It also has a FAN switch with two selections available:

AUTO or ON. When set to AUTO, the blower will operate

only when the thermostat starts the unit. When set to ON, the

blower will run continuously, regardless of whether the
heating or cooling section is operating.

The SYSTEM switch on your thermostat has the following
selections: HEAT, OFF, and COOL. Some thermostats may
also have a fourth selection — AUTO. The unit will remain
off regardless of the conditioned space temperature when the

SYSTEM switch is set to the OFF position. When set to the

HEAT position, the heating section will operate as required.
With the SYSTEM switch set to the COOL position, the cool
ing section will operate as required.

The SYSTEM switch AUTO selection on some thermostats
provides for automatic changeover between heating and
cooling operation. With the switch set in AUTO position, the
heating section will operate when the conditioned space
temperature drops below the thermostat heating
temperature setting, or the cooling section will operate when
the conditioned space temperature rises above the
thermostat cooling temperature setting.
