Operating instructions

NOTE: The furnace has two wires for thermostat
connections. One wire should be marked 12V DC or
(+) and the other wire may be unmarked, or labeled
"thermostat". The wire marked 12V DC or (+) should
be capped and not used with the heat pump setup. The
wire marked "thermostat" or the unmarked wire is the
wire to connect to the violet thermostat pigtail.

Before checking the thermostat for operation, first
determine that the thermostat is receiving DC power
from the relay board then disconnect the cable assem-
bly from the back of the thermostat.
Next, use a DC voltmeter and check from red wire
or Pin 2 on cable assembly (positive [+] lead from volt-
meter) to brown wire or Pin 7 (negative [–] lead from
voltmeter). You should get a voltage reading of approxi-
mately 12V DC. Next, move the negative (–) lead from
the voltmeter to each of the following wires or pins:

and cable assembly are providing proper power and
circuits to the thermostat.

NOTE: Pin 2 (red wire) is positive DC volts when ambi-
ent (outside) air is above 40°F. Pin 1 (violet wire) is
positive DC volts when ambient (outside) air is below
40°F. When ambient (outside) air is below 40°F., only
"FAN LO ON" and "HI ON" will operate in the heat pump.
If the above voltage checks are correct and the unit
does not operate correctly, check the thermostat.
If the above voltage checks are not as described,
check the relay board (Section 4.5) and the cable as-
sembly (4.3).
