Periods
Important — Before you Begin
When using unoccupied modes, Auto fan speed must be
selected. Manual fan speed should not be used for unoc
cupied operation. Auto Fan speed must be used to pre
vent the system from entering the coil freeze protection
cycle or in heating, the high-pressure protection cycle.
(See Advanced Setup section for fan speed selection.)
If different heating and/or cooling temperature set points
are desired Monday through Friday at different times of
the day, two occupied periods must be programmed. To
adjust set points and times for the two occupied periods:
If the space to be controlled should have a designated
temperature from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through
Friday and for the remainder of the day have an alternate
or setback temperature set point set to stop at 5:00 p.m.,
program the Occupied 2 mode at 12:00 a.m. to
12:00 a.m. at the alternate temperature set point.
NOTE: If one occupied period starts and stops within
another occupied period the lower occupied number has
priority.
If additional setback is desired for Saturday and Sunday,
program Occupied 1 from 12:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m, for
both Saturday and Sunday at the desired temperature.
