Heating Differentials
Each heating stage has an adjustable differential and time delay setting to determine when the stage
turns on. The heating stages Heat 4 to Heat 1 shut off are when they reach 1.5, 1.0, 0.5, and 0.0°F
(0.75, 0.5, 0.25, and 0.0°C) of the Heat To setting respectively.
Radiant Floor Heating
Radiant floor heating is operated differently than other heating types due to the large time delays to
heat and cool the slab. When Radiant Floor Heating is selected in the setup menu, the W1 relay operates using Pulse Width Modulation. This improves comfort for radiant systems with high mass floors.

Room Sensor and Averaging
The thermostat can measure room temperature between -46 to 212°F (-43 to 100°C). The room
temperature can be measured using a combination of the built-in and auxiliary sensors.
• Built-in room sensor only
• Built-in room sensor with auxiliary room sensor(s) (temperature is averaged)
• Auxiliary room sensor only
Floor Sensor for Radiant Floor Heating
The thermostat can measure floor temperature between -46 to 212°F (-43 to 100°C). If a floor sensor
is connected, floor minimum and maximum settings are available. The floor heating setpoint is adjustable from 40 to 95°F (4.5 to 35°C).
For a combination of air and floor temperature control, leave the internal air sensor on in the setup
menu. A floor minimum can be used to prevent a fast drop in temperature caused by receding solar
exposure. This operation is recommended for areas heated by afternoon sun through large windows.
When the sun sets, it can take a long time for the floors to get warm again. This may cause the room
to cool off too much in the early evening. A floor minimum setting can help with this condition by
maintaining a floor minimum temperature. Keep in mind the floor minimum temperature will override
the air temperature, and if set too high, may overheat the room.
A floor maximum is recommended for rooms with hardwood floors. Setting floor minimum and
maximum temperatures is a way of enhancing the comfort of the living space while protecting
floor coverings.
If there are more than one floor temperature sensors, the temperature is averaged.
It’s possible to heat a radiant floor while the cooling system is operating. This is desirable in locations
such as kitchens and bathrooms. To use this feature, set the Warm Floor During Cooling on.

Page 29
Cooling Differentials
The first and second stage cooling have adjustable differentials and time delay setting to determine
when the stage turns on, and shut off when the room temperature reaches 0.5 and 0.0°F (0.25 and
0.0°C) above the Cool To setting respectively.
Heat Pump Balance Point
An air source heat pump’s Coefficient of Performance (COP) declines with falling outdoor air temperature. The Balance Point is the outdoor temperature at which it is more economical to shut off the heat
pump (relays Y1 and Y2) and operate the backup heating equipment (relays W1 and W2).
Dual Fuel
Dual fuel systems include a heat pump together with a backup heat source such as a furnace or a
hydronic fan coil. When Dual Fuel is set to on, the heat pump (relays Y1 and Y2) is shut off whenever
the backup heating equipment (relays W1 and W2) is operating.
Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD)
The heating system can automatically shut off based upon the outdoor temperature and the WWSD
setting. This provides a convenient way to shut off the heating system.
Cold Weather Shut Down (CWSD)
The cooling system can automatically shut off based upon the outdoor temperature and CWSD
setting. This prevents unwanted cooling during the winter.

Relative Humidity Operation
Relative Humidity Sensor
The thermostat includes an internal relative humidity (RH) sensor and has the option to connect to an
external RH sensor. The installer has the option to disable the internal RH sensor when an external
RH sensor is installed. When both the internal and external RH sensors are enabled, the RH reading
is averaged.
Humidifier Operation
The thermostat controls the relative humidity (RH) by operating either the Accessory 1 or Accessory 2
relays. This is an installer configurable setting. When the RH is below the Humidify To setting by 3%,
the Accessory 1 or 2 relay is closed to operate a humidifier. The humidifier is shut off when the RH
reaches the Humidify To setting.
The thermostat can operate 3 types of humidifiers:
Stand Alone - The humidifier is not connected to the HVAC system.
- The thermostat Mode can be set to Heat, Cool, Auto or Off.
Steam - The steam humidifier is ducted to the HVAC system.
- The thermostat Mode can be set to Heat, Cool, Auto or Off.
- Requires the system fan to turn on when operating.
Evaporative - A drum style humidifier which requires the heating system to operate
- This system requires the system fan to operate.
- The thermostat Mode must be set to Heat or Auto.
Humidifier Window Protection
During cold weather, condensation will form on windows when the relative humidity (RH) is too high.
The optional window protection feature automatically calculates the indoor dew point based upon the
outdoor temperature and the quality of the windows installed. The humidifier is then operated to the
highest possible RH that is below the Humidify To setting. This feature requires a wired connection to
an Outdoor Sensor 070.
Dehumidifier Operation
The thermostat controls the relative humidity (RH) by operating either the Accessory 1 or Accessory 2
relay. This is an installer configurable setting. When the RH is above the Dehumidify To setting by 3%,
the Accessory 1 or 2 relay is closed to operate the dehumidifier. The dehumidifier is shut off when the
RH reaches the Dehumidify To setting.
The thermostat can operate 2 types of dehumidifiers:
Stand Alone - The dehumidifier is not connected to the HVAC system.
- The thermostat Mode can be set to Heat, Cool, Auto or Off.
DX Coil - The HVAC cooling system is used for dehumidification.
- The Accessory 1 or Accessory 2 relay activates the DHUM operation on the air
- The cooling compressor Y1 and Y2 relays are operated. The chilled DX coil
- The cooling system can over cool the room temperature by 2°F (1°C) during

HRV / ERV Ventilator Operation
Ventilation with fresh outdoor air is important for maintaining indoor air quality. The thermostat can
operate a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) or energy recovery ventilator (ERV) on a timer by closing the
Accessory 1 relay to operate the ventilator fan at low speed.
Heat Pump Loop Valve Operation
The thermostat supports water-to-air heat pump systems that absorb or reject heat to a hydronic
building loop. Whenever the heat pump compressor Y1 or Y2 relay is turned on, the Accessory 1 relay
closes to open a hydronic zone valve. This allows variable speed pumps on the hydronic loop to operate at lower speeds when the heat pump is off, thereby saving electrical energy.
