Bryant’s 7-day programmable dual fuel thermostat is a wall-
INTRODUCTION
mounted, low-voltage thermostat which provides proper control of
a heat pump (HP) and furnace combination without using a
HP/furnace interface kit. Separate heating and cooling setpoints,
plus auto changeover allow setback programming for maximum
energy savings. Up to 4 time/temperature settings per 24 hour
period for 7 independent days may be programmed. Batteries are
not required; during a power interruption, the internal memory
stores programs for an unlimited time and the clock continues to
run for at least 72 hrs.
SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
The dual fuel thermostat is designed to be used only in HP/furnace
installations. It replaces a conventional 2-stage HP thermostat and
a HP/furnace interface kit. An outdoor temperature sensor, Part
No. TSTATBBSEN01 MUST be used with this thermostat. It is
not supplied with thermostat.
CAUTION: If HP is not already equipped with a highpressure switch, one must be added for dual fuel applications. It protects HP from overpressure which would
occur if a failure resulted in both HP and furnace
operating at same time. Kit No. KSAHI0201HPS includes required switch and instructions for its proper
installation.
A HP/furnace installation has several special requirements. Foremost is that furnace and HP must not be allowed to operate at same
time, except during HP defrost. A second is to have furnace
complete a heating cycle once it is turned on. A third is the need
to have HP not operate at all when outdoor temperatures are below
a certain value. Finally, HP and furnace must work together
properly to provide an efficient and comfortable defrost. These
requirements are addressed by the dual fuel thermostat itself and
an interface kit is NOT required.

HEIGHT (IN.)WIDTH (IN.)DEPTH (IN.)

APPLICATION
The dual fuel thermostat is designedforthefollowing applications:
1-stage cool, 2-stage heat: 1-speed HP with 1-stage furnace
1-stage cool, 3-stage heat: 1-speed HP with 2-stage furnace
2-stage cool, 3-stage heat: 2-speed HP with 1-stage furnace
2-stage cool, 4-stage heat: 2-speed HP with 2-stage furnace*
*This combination must use furnace algorithm to control furnace
staging.
As outdoor temperature decreases, heat loss increases and HP
capacity decreases. There is a temperature below which HP will
not be able to "keep up" and furnace will be required to maintain
temperature. This is the thermal balance point.
There is also an economic balance point, determined by relative
costs of fuel and electricity, below which the furnace is the most
cost effective and above which the HP is the most cost effective.
Finally there may be a comfort balance point below which leaving
air temperature of HP is not comfortable, even if HP has sufficient
capacity to keep structure warm.
Any of these balance points may be the determining factor in the
selection of an outdoor temperature below which HP will be turned
off and only furnace allowed to operate. This balance point
temperature is entered into thermostat by installer. Outdoor temperatures from 15˚F to 55˚F may be selected. Instructions for
entering this selection is covered in the section: Balance
Point—Value Selection.
When outdoor temperature is below selected balance point temperature, furnace is used exclusively to supply heat.
When outdoor temperature is above both selected balance point
temperature and thermal balance point, HP will be used exclusively, because it will have sufficient capacity to satisfy load.
—1—
Page 2
If selection of balance point temperature is such that it is below
thermal balance point, all operation between these 2 temperatures
will be part HP and part furnace. A heating cycle will begin with
HP operation. Because HP has insufficient capacity, structure
temperature will slowly fall. After a time, thermostat will issue
next stage call, turning off HP and turning on furnace. Furnace will
operate until thermostat is completely satisfied at which time
furnace will turn off. The next heating cycle will begin with HP
and cycle will repeat.
This operating mode is acceptable as long as selected balance point
temperature is not too far below thermal balance point. This
thermostat has no "droop" between stages, and structure will not
cool significantly below setpoint before furnace comes on. However, there is a 15-minute timer which requires HP to operate for
15 minutes before furnace comes on. If balance point temperature
is set too far below thermal balance point, the temperature loss
during this 15 minute period could be uncomfortable.
For most installations balance point temperature setting should be
in the range of 25˚F to 45˚F. If set too high, HP will not be used
enough and its advantages not realized. If set too low, structure
temperature loss during HP operation will become uncomfortable.
In case of 2-speed heat pumps or 2-stage furnaces, thermostat will
start equipment at low capacity and if this is not sufficient, will
advance to higher capacity. If load demand is between low and
high capacities, it will cycle between these 2 stages, i.e. between
low and high heat pump speeds or between furnace low and high
fire. However, once operation proceeds from HP to furnace, it will
NOT cycle directly back to HP. Furnace will remain on until all
stages of thermostat are satisfied.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
COOLING OPERATION—SINGLE SPEED
HP cooling:
O/W2 energizes reversing valve to select cooling operation.
G energizes furnace blower.
Y/Y2 energizes compressor and selects high blower speed at
furnace.
When cooling demand is satisfied, G and Y/Y2 are de-energized.
O/W2 will remain on to minimize cycling of reversing valve. It
will turn off only when a call for heat occurs.
COOLING OPERATION—TWO SPEED
Low-speed HP cooling:
O/W2 energizes reversing valve to select cooling operation.
G energizes furnace blower.
Y1/W2 energizes compressor at low speed and may determine
furnace blower speed.
High-speed HP cooling:
Y/Y2 is added to low-speed cooling call to operate compressor at
high speed and increase blower speed.
HEATING OPERATION—SINGLE-SPEED HP
HP heating:
O/W2 remains off to select heating operation.
G turns on furnace blower.
Y/Y2 energizes compressor and increases furnace blower speed.
HEATING OPERATION—TWO-SPEED HP
Low-Speed HP heating:
O/W2 remains off to select heating operation.
G turns on furnace blower.
Y1/W2 turns on compressor at low speed and may also adjust
blower speed for low-speed HP operation.
High-Speed HP heating:
Y/Y2 is added to low-speed HP heating call to operate compressor
at high speed and adjust blower for high-speed HP operation.
HEATING OPERATION—SINGLE-STAGE FURNACE
W/W1 causes furnace to operate. Furnace controls its own blower
at heating speed.
HEATING OPERATION—TWO-STAGE FURNACE—
THERMOSTAT CONTROL
Low fire:
W/W1 causes furnace to operate at low fire. Furnace controls its
own blower at low heating speed.
High fire: Y1/W2 is added to low-fire heating call to operate
furnace in high-fire mode. Furnace controls its own blower at high
heating speed.
HEATING OPERATION—TWO-STAGE FURNACE—
ALGORITHM CONTROL
W/W1 causes furnace to operate. Based on amount of time it is
required to be on, it determines when to operate at low fire and
when to operate at high fire. It controls its own blower at proper
speed.
DEFROST OPERATION
A unique feature of this thermostat is that a defrost cycle, once
started, will always be completed. This is true even if thermostat is
satisfied during defrost. The result is that a heating cycle never
begins with an uncompleted defrost and its associated "cold blow".
During operation of HP in heating mode, HP itself determines
when a defrost is necessary. It initiates defrost by energizing its O
and W wires. The signal on the O wire switches HP from heating
to cooling mode and W signal starts furnace. Thermostat monitors
this action by sensing the signal (which it did not create) on the O
line. It responds by turning on its W outputs (both if 2-stage
furnace) to hold furnace on high fire. At completion of defrost,
indicated by removal of signal from HP on O wire, thermostat does
1 of 2 things. If it is satisfied, it turns off all Y, G, and W outputs
which results in all equipment off. If not satisfied, it will turn off
Y and G, leaving W on until it becomes satisfied. In this way it
assures that furnace will be used to satisfy a heat demand existing
after a defrost cycle is completed.
EMERGENCY HEAT
If EHEAT mode is selected at thermostat, all heating will be done
by furnace.
CONTINUOUS FAN
If FAN ON mode in selected, thermostat energizes G terminal,
which causes fan to operate when both heating and cooling are off.
STAGING SEQUENCE—HEATING
Depending on whether HP is single or 2 speed and whether furnace
is single or 2 stage, the staging of thermostat outputs with
increasing demand varies. Table 1 shows the heating staging
sequence for all 4 possible combinations of single- and multi-stage
equipment. Note that thermostat itself has a maximum of 3 heating
stages. Note also that at outdoor temperatures below selected
balance point temperature no HP operation is allowed. As discussed earlier, once furnace is turned on, it remains on to satisfy all
demand.
A "freeze protect" feature is built into the dual fuel thermostat. If
indoor temperature sensor fails, and thermostat is in HEAT or
AUTO mode, heat will be cycled when outdoor temperature is
below 50˚F. The amount of heat supplied will increase as outdoor
temperature decreases, keeping structure from freezing.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: All TSTAT models do not have batteries and are not
"power stealing". They do require 24VAC (R and C terminals) to
be connected for proper operation. Thermostat will not operate
without these 2 connections.

I. THERMOSTAT LOCATION
Thermostat should be mounted:
• Approximately 5 ft (1.5m) from floor.
• Close to or in a frequently used room, preferably on an inside
partitioning wall.
• On a section of wall without pipes or duct work.
• In a location where the outdoor temperature sensor wires can be
routed to thermostat location. It is acceptable to use 2 separate
wires in thermostat cable to connect outdoor sensor. These
wires may be connected at furnace to another pair continuing to
outdoor heat pump. The outdoor sensor may then be mounted
and connected in vicinity of heat pump, but be sure it is not
located in direct sunlight.
Thermostat should NOT be mounted:
• Close to a window, on an outside wall, or next to a door leading
to the outside.
• Exposed to direct light and heat from a lamp, sun, fireplace, or
other temperature-radiating object which may cause a false
reading.
• Close to or in direct airflow from supply registers and return-air
grilles.
• In areas with poor air circulation, such as behind a door or in
an alcove.
II. SET DIP SWITCHES
There are 4 small switches on the back of the circuit board which
must be set by the installer. The ON position is indicated by small
letters on the switch itself. Ignore numbers 1-4 on the switch. The
switch designation (A through D) is on the circuit board next to the
switch. To change a switch position use the corner of a small
screwdriver to slide it between on and off. Make these selections
BEFORE installing the thermostat--it is much easier.
SWITCH A—NOT USED IN DUAL FUEL THERMOSTATS
This switch must be in OFF position in all dual fuel applications.
DO NOT turn ON.
SWITCH B—SETBACK RECOVERY
Selects between normal and smart recovery from setback. Normal
recovery changes to the new setpoint at the programmed time.
Smart recovery, which is active in heating mode only, starts earlier
and adjusts the setpoint slowly so that room temperature will arrive
at the programmed temperature at the programmed time.
TO SET:
OFF—for smart recovery. This is the factory default.
ON—for normal recovery.
SWITCH C—DISABLE LOW-AMBIENT COOLING
Use to allow or prevent cooling operation below an outdoor
temperature of 55˚F. Prevention of cooling below 55˚F adds to
compressor reliability. If outdoor temperature sensor fails or is
disconnected, cooling is allowed regardless of switch setting.
TO SET:
OFF—cooling is allowed at outdoor temperatures below 55˚F.
ON—cooling is disabled at outdoor temperatures below 55˚F.
SWITCH D—SELECT SINGLE-SPEED OR 2-SPEED HP
Use this switch to tell dual fuel thermostat whether it is controlling
a single- or 2-speed HP. It must be set properly.
TO SET:
OFF—for single-speed HP.
ON—for 2-speed HP.
III. INSTALL THERMOSTAT
WARNING: Before installing thermostat, turn off all
power to unit. There may be more than 1 power disconnect. Electrical shock can cause personal injury or death.
1. Turn OFF all power to unit.
2. If an existing thermostat is being replaced:
a. Remove existing thermostat from wall.
b. Disconnect wires from existing thermostat, 1 at a time.
Be careful not to allow wires to fall back into the wall.
c. As each wire is disconnected, record wire color and
terminal marking.
d. Discard or recycle old thermostat.
NOTE: Mercury is a hazardous waste and MUST be disposed of
properly.
3. Open thermostat rear door (mounting base) to expose
mounting holes. The base can be removed to simplify
mounting. Snap apart carefully at hinge to separate mounting base from remainder of thermostat.
4. Route thermostat wires through large hole in mounting
base. Allow an extra 10 to 12 in. of wire for connection to
terminals. Remove outer sheath over this entire length for
added flexibility.
5. Level mounting base against wall and mark wall through 2
mounting holes.
6. Drill two 3/16-in. mounting holes in wall where marked.
7. Secure mounting base to wall with 2 screws and anchors
provided, making sure all wires extend through mounting
base.
8. Adjust wire length and routing to allow proper closure of
thermostat. Strip each wire end no more than 1/4 in. to
prevent adjacent wires from shorting together. Match and
connect equipment lead wires to the correct terminals of the
thermostat connector. (See Fig. 2 through 5.) Both R and C
must be connected for proper thermostat operation.
CAUTION: Improper wiring or installation may damage
the thermostat. Check to make sure wiring is correct
before proceeding with installation or turning on unit.
—3—
Page 4
9. Push excess wiring into wall. Seal hole in wall to prevent
drafts.
10. Snap hinge back together.
11. Close thermostat door.
12. Turn ON power to unit.
On power up, display shows dF for a few seconds to indicate that
it is a dual fuel thermostat.
IV. SET THERMOSTAT CONFIGURATION
Configuration options, like DIP switch settings, are intended to be
selected at installation and normally are not modified by the
homeowner. These options are not discussed in the homeowner’s
manual and therefore must be made as part of the installation. A
special procedure allows entry into the configuration mode. The
thermostat will automatically exit this mode if no button is pressed
for 10 seconds. While in configuration mode, 4 option choices can
be made:
1. Fahrenheit or Celsius—Selection.
2. Balance point—Value Adjustment
3. Clean filter timer—Selection and Value Adjustment.
4. ’Anticipator’—Value Adjustment.
An explanation for each of these and how to enter the configuration mode follows.
TO ENTER THE CONFIGURATION MODE:
Press and hold FAN button for approximately 10 sec until room
temperature disappears and display reads "--". You are now in the
configuration mode.
NOTE: If no button is pressed for 10 sec, thermostat will exit
mode and resume normal operation. To re-enter configuration
mode, FAN button must be pressed and held again.
WHILE IN CONFIGURATION MODE, THESE SELECTIONS
ARE AVAILABLE:
FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS—SELECTION
Select between Fahrenheit or Celsius operation. Factory default is
Fahrenheit.
TO SELECT:
1. Enter configuration mode.
2. Press CHANGE DAY button to display F or C.
3. Use either up or down button to change between F and C.
BALANCE POINT—VALUE ADJUSTMENT
This adjustment allows installer to enter an outdoor temperature
below which HP will not be allowed to operate. Temperatures
between 15˚F and 55˚F can be selected in 5˚F steps. (Equivalent
values are used when Celsius operation is selected.) A discussion
of how to determine this temperature was provided earlier in the
APPLICATIONS section.
TO SELECT:
1. Enter configuration mode.
2. Press COPY PREVIOUS DAY button.
3. Use up or down buttons to move between 15, 20, 25, 30, 35,
40, 45, 50, and 55˚F (or equivalent values in ˚C).
CLEAN FILTER TIMER—SELECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
Select hours of blower operation before CLEAN FILTER icon is
displayed. Timer accumulates total blower hours. Selection can
range from 400 to 3600 hours or can be turned off. Factory default
is 2 (800 hours). Recommended selections are: disposable
filter—400 to 800 hours, media filter—1200 to 1600 hours, or
electronic air cleaner—1600 to 2400 hours of blower operation.
TO SELECT:
1. Enter configuration mode.
2. Press RESET FILTER button to display OF (off) or digits
1 through 9.
3. Use up and down buttons to move between selections. Total
hours equals 400 times the displayed number. OF (off) turns
feature off.
4. During the selection process, the CLEAN FILTER icon will
remain on, even if OF (off) is chosen.
’ANTICIPATOR’—ADJUSTMENT
This adjustment controls the sensitivity and cycle rate of the
thermostat. Higher numbers decrease the sensitivity and slow the
cycle rate. Lower numbers increase sensitivity and increase cycle
rate. However, a limiting feature will not allow more than 4
equipment cycles per hour, regardless of setting. Values can range
from 1 to 9. Default is 3. This default selection will provide
optimum performance in nearly all installations. Try it first. Do not
change setting unless there is evidence of need to do so.
Unlike conventional anticipators, this setting is not to be determined by current draw. There is no need to measure, know, or
compensate for current. There is also no ’droop’ with this
thermostat, regardless of ’anticipator’ setting.
This adjustment controls only sensitivity and cycle rate—up to the
maximum of 4 cycles per hour.
TO ADJUST:
1. Enter configuration mode.
2. Press MODE button to display value between 1 and 9.
Factory default is 3.
3. Use up and down buttons to move between values.
V. HOLD, FAN, MODE BUTTON OPERATION
1. Pressing HOLD button disables the time/temperature
schedule and "holds" the current desired temperature. When
active, the HOLD annunciator is turned on. A second press
of the HOLD button releases the hold feature and turns off
the annunciator.
2. Pressing the FAN button alternately selects AUTO or ON
fan operation. Fan annunciator displays the current selection.
3. Pressing the MODE button will select OFF, HEAT, COOL,
AUTO, or EHEAT. Mode annunciator displays the current
selection.
4. Operation of other buttons is explained in the Homeowner’s
Guide.

OPERATIONAL INFORMATION
FIVE-MINUTE COMPRESSOR TIMEGUARD
This timer prevents the compressor from starting unless it has been off for at least 5 minutes. It can be defeated for 1 cycle by simultaneously
pressing the FAN mode button and the INCREASE TEMPERATURE button.
FIFTEEN-MINUTE CYCLE TIMER
This timer prevents the start of a heating or cooling cycle until at least 15 minutes after the last start of the same cycle. Its function is to assure
that equipment is not cycled more than 4 times per hour. This timer is defeated for 1 cycle when the desired temperature is manually changed.
It can also be defeated for 1 cycle by simultaneously pressing the FAN mode button and the INCREASE TEMPERATURE button.
FIFTEEN-MINUTE STAGING TIMER
In multistage heating or cooling, this timer prevents any higher stage from turning on until the preceeding stage has been on for 15 minutes. This
timer is defeated if the temperature error is greater than 5 degrees (usually due to a large change in desired temperature).
TWO-MINUTE MINIMUM ON TIME
In normal operation, when a stage turns on, it will not turn off for a minimum of 2 minutes.
HEAT/COOL SETPOINTS (DESIRED TEMPERATURES)
A minimum difference of 3 degrees is enforced between heating and cooling desired temperatures. This is done by allowing one setting to "push"
the other, to maintain this difference.
AUTO CHANGEOVER
When the auto changeover mode is selected, a change from heat to cool (or vice versa) will not occur until an opposite mode demand has existed
for 20 minutes. If the setpoint is changed, the 20 minute requirement is deleted.
POWER ON CHECK
When AC power is first applied, all segments of display are turned on for a few seconds. Following this, the temperature display reads dF for a
few seconds to indicate that it is a dual fuel thermostat.
ERROR CODES
E1 - If thermostat cannot properly read room temperature, the room temperature display will indicate E1 and thermostat will enter FREEZE
PROTECT mode. When outdoor temperature is below 50˚F furnace will operate for sufficient time every half hour to keep home from
freezing. The ON time is given by the formula: Minutes ON equals 15 minus (outdoor temperature in ˚F divided by 4).
E2 - If the AC line voltage drops below a minimum (brownout) level, all outputs are turned off and the display indicates E2. This condition will
remain for 15 seconds after proper line voltage is restored. If the AC line voltage disappears completely, the display will immediately go
blank.
E3 - If thermostat cannot properly read outdoor temperature E3 will be displayed in place of room temperature. The thermostat will continue to
operate, but will only use furnace in HEAT mode.
AUXILIARY HEAT ICON
This icon is displayed when the furnace is operating.
SMART RECOVERY
With Smart Recovery selected, the transition out of a heating setback begins a fixed time period before the selected recovery time and gradually
adjusts room temperature so that the desired temperature will be achieved at the selected recovery time. The fixed time period is 1 hr for furnaces
and 1.5 hrs for heat pumps.
THERMOSTAT TROUBLESHOOTING
