6 MOUNT THE THERMOSTAT—-----------------
D Note the tabs on the top inside edge of the ther mostat base. These fit the slots molded into the top of the wailplate or subbase.
n Hang thermostat base on wailplate or subbase.
7 SET HEAT ANTICIPATOR----------------------
n Make sure you know the current draw (anticipator setting] for your system. This information can be found printed on the primary control at the furnace or on the furnace output/listing label. However, it is good in stallation practice to physically test the heating primary current draw before setting the heat anticipator. This is done by connecting the R and W terminals through a suitable meter (0-5 A), or with thermostat wire held through a clamp on meter using multiple loops to mag nify the field (ten [oops are typically used so meter read

the bottom corners of the base (Fig. 5). Q Firmly tighten screws.
ing can be divided by ten). Physical measurement is urged, as modern HVAC equipment typically incor porates multiple control circuit loads, and accurate anticipator setting prevents poor control and callbacks.
Move heat anticipator lever to match the current
draw (Fig. 6), except in single-stage heat pump sys tems. In these systems, set the anticipator at 1.4 times the actual current draw to reduce the cycling rate.

10 SET TEMPERATURE CONTROL LEVERS ■
El i
The two levers on top of thermostat control the
low and high temperatures for energy savings and com
fort control (Fig. 10). The lever on the left (blue mark)
controls the lower temperature. The lever on the right (red mark) controls the higher temperature.
E EI
We recommend pushing the levers together at an appropriate temperature for either heat or cool until the occupant programs the thermostat and makes final
temperature selections.
11 SET SUBBASE SWITCHES
□ The subbase system switch controls system oper ation as follows.
EMERGENCY HEAT (Q682L only)—The emergency
heat relay is energized. The cooling system is off and the compressor is de-energized. Emergency heat equipment is controlled by the thermostat
HEAT—Heating system is controlled by the thermo
stat Cooling system is off.
COOL—Cooling system is controlled by the ther
mostat Heating system is off.
OFF—Both the heating and cooling systems are off.
If the fan switch is at the AUTO position, the fan is also off.
------------------
The subbase fan switch controls fan operation as
follows,
ON—Fan operates continuously. AUTO—Fan operates with cooling equipment as con
trolled by the thermostat In electric heat systems and in heat pump systems, the fan is controlled by the thermostat during heating also.
To switch positions, use thumb or index finger to slide lever to desired position. Switch lever must stop in the detent over desired function indicator mark for proper circuit operation.
