-Temperature Thresholds
1- Temperature Difference Stage 2
This is the difference between your indoor and setpoint temperature before stage 2 is activated to help achieve the setpoint. Setting a higher number will result in more savings because stage 2 may not be activated frequently.
In normal weather conditions, HVAC systems can efficiently maintain indoor temperature using stage 1 only and save you energy.
2- Minimum & Maximum Outdoor Temperature
If the outdoor temperature falls below a minimum threshold, the heat pump will turn off and switch to auxiliary heating. When the outdoor temperature goes above the maximum threshold, auxiliary heating will stop, and the heat pump will start running again.
Operational Timers
1- Maximum Runtime For Stage 1:
The maximum runtime for stage 1 before stage 2 is activated to achieve the temperature setpoint.
2- Minimum Off Time:
The minimum Off time of the heating or cooling system before the thermostat turns it ON again. (A minimum value of 5 minutes is recommended to prevent the system from short cycling.
3- Minimum On Time:
The minimum ON time of the heating or cooling system before the thermostat turns it OFF again. (A minimum value of 5 minutes is recommended to prevent the system from short cycling.
4- Heating Dissipation Time:
Time for which the fan of your HVAC system will run after the heating has been turned off. This ensures that the hot air left in the ducts is blown into the room to maximize the use of generated heat.
5- Cooling Dissipation Time:
Time for which the fan of your HVAC system will run after the cooling has been turned off. This ensures that any remaining cool air in the ducts is circulated into the room to maximize the efficiency of the cooling cycle.
Equipment Stage Control
Stage Control
ON - Stage 2 of your equipment automatically turns off once your home temperature approaches your setpoint, and stage 1 can efficiently reach your setpoint on its own.
OFF - Your equipment will keep on running in stage 2 until your setpoint is achieved.
Aux to Heat Pump
ON - Auxiliary heat is automatically turned off when your home temperature approaches the setpoint, while the heat pump operates to attain your desired temperature.
OFF - Auxiliary heat keeps on running until your set point is achieved.
Aux Control
ON - Stage 2 of your auxiliary equipment automatically turns off when your home temperature approaches the setpoint, and stage 1 can efficiently reach your setpoint on its own.
OFF - Stage 2 of auxiliary equipment keeps running until your setpoint is achieved.
