certain number of degrees from the set temperature. This variation is called the “swing” or
temperature differential. This feature lets the appliance turn off and on 2º F (1º C) above or
below the set temperature of the room. This is to cushion the number of times the appliance
is turned ON and OFF.
THERMO UPDATING FEATURE - TRANSMITTER
When in thermo mode, the transmitter reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes,
checks the room temperature against the SET temperature then sends a signal to the
receiver.
