THERMOSTAT OPERATION
WHEN SPECIAL PROGRAMS
ARE IN EFFECT
Normally your thermostat operates as you
programmed it. If you subscribe to either of the
following special programs, there may be times
when it does not operate as you expect. Before
calling for service, read the following informa-
tion.
Direct Load Control (DLC)
When the thermostat is operating under DLC,
the amount of time your heating/cooling system
can operate is controlled by radio signal from
your utility company. If you notice the 10 AM
temperature is higher or lower than the setting
you programmed into the thermostat, check the
thermostat display. To indicate the equipment is
under DLC, the thermostat displays the word
SAVING. You cannot control the heating/
cooling equipment when it is under DLC.
When the utility releases your thermostat from
DLC, your heating or cooling equipment may
not be immediately available. To prevent
damage to your heating and cooling equipment
and to allow the utility to bring the equipment
on-line effectively, your thermostat automati-
cally calculates and initiates a time delay
before the heating or cooling equipment comes
on. You cannot override this time delay.
