Backup heat differential and upstage timer
Basic and Advanced Temperature Control Options (ISU 3010)
A backup heat differential and backup heat upstage timer can be set on heat pump
systems with backup heat. See installer setup options (ISU 3090-3110).
Normal operation
When the Backup Heat Differential is set to Comfort, the thermostat uses backup
heat as needed to keep the indoor temperature within 1° F (0.5° C) of the setpoint.
When the Backup Heat Differential is set to 2° F or higher, backup heat is not used
unless the indoor temperature drops to the Backup Heat Differential setting or the
Backup Heat Upstage Timer expires, whichever occurs first. The upstage timer starts
when the highest stage of the previous equipment type turns on.
Manual temperature change
When the Backup Heat Differential is set to Comfort, the thermostat uses backup
heat as needed to keep the indoor temperature within 1° F (0.5° C) of the setpoint.
When the Backup Heat Differential is set to 2° F or higher, if the heat pump is mak-
ing progress as expected, backup heat will not be used to reach the new setpoint.
Set to a higher number to use less backup heat (a greater difference between the
current indoor temperature and the new setpoint is required to turn on backup heat).
See notes below.
Programmed recovery
If the heat pump is making progress as expected, backup heat will not be used to
reach the setpoint of the next program period. Backup heat is always restricted dur-
ing a programmed recovery when the Adaptive Intelligent Recovery feature is used.
See note below.
Basic Options: The Installer Setup displays basic temperature control options
which include Backup Heat Differential, Backup Heat Upstage Timer and Outdoor
Temperature Lockouts. Note: Outdoor Temperature Lockouts only apply to Heat
Pump applications.
Advanced Options: The Installer Setup displays both Basic and Advanced Options.
Advanced temperature control options include Finish With High Cool Stage, Finish
With High Heat Stage, Temperature Differential settings between all stages and
Cycle Rate settings per stage.
During a programmed recovery (or when the temperature setpoint is changed by the user), the thermostat waits to turn on the
backup heat depending on system performance, load conditions and how many degrees the temperature setpoint is changed.
Backup heat will be used ONLY when the temperature is not rising quickly enough to reach the setpoint in a reasonable time.
If the backup heat was used in the last 2 hours because the heat pump was not able to maintain the setpoint, the thermostat
may turn on the backup heat earlier when the user raises the setpoint.
Finish With High Heat or Cool Stage - When a multi-stage heating or cooling system is used, this feature keeps the high stage
of the heating or cooling equipment running until the desired setpoint is reached.

I/O-CHTSTAT03 69-2688—11
Humidification
The thermostat reads the indoor humidity level and allows the user to set a humidifi-
cation setting with or without window protection.
Window Protection
Window Protection limits the amount of humidity to prevent frost or condensation on
windows. Window Protection (ISU 8050) requires an outdoor sensor.
The maximum humidity level that is allowed ("Window Limit") is displayed on the
Humidification Settings screen. The thermostat prevents frost or condensation on
windows by not allowing the humidity to go above the Window Limit when it is con-
trolling the humidifier. This helps inform the user as to why their humidity setting
might not be reached at times. The Window
Limit is based on the current outdoor tempera-
ture and the user's window protection setting.
If Window Protection is turned Off, the ther-
mostat controls the humidity level to the user's
desired humidity setting. Frost or condensation
may appear on windows.
Dehumidification - Residential
The thermostat reads the indoor humidity level and allows the user to set a dehu-
midification setting.
When set up for dehumidification using the cooling system, an overcooling limit can
be set from 0 F to 3 F (ISU 9070). The thermostat uses the cooling system to reduce
humidity by lowering the temperature up to 3 F below the current cool setpoint until
the desired humidity level is reached.

Dehumidification - Commercial
The thermostat reads the indoor humidity level and allows the user to set a
dehumidification setting.
Dehumidification using the cooling system has the following methods of
dehumidification control (ISU 9080):
Basic: This option uses the cooling system to reach the desired humidity level.
Minimum On Time and High Humidity Comfort Reset are not used with this method.
This option should only be used if the equipment can lower the fan speed in a call for
dehumidification.
Minimum on Time (ISU 9090): This option ensures that the compressor runs long
enough to effectively reduce humidity when the cooling equipment is cycled on. The
compressor will run for the minimum "on time" you set until the desired humidity level
is reached.
High Humidity Comfort Reset (ISU 9100): This option uses the cooling system
to lower the temperature up to 5 F below the current cool setpoint until the desired
humidity is reached. The high humidity comfort range is from 1 to 5 F.
High Humidity Comfort Reset with Minimum On Time (ISU 9090 and ISU
9100): This method uses both options above to reduce humidity while maintaining a
comfortable temperature.

Ventilation
Ventilation Control Method (ISU 10050)
The thermostat can control the fan to meet either ASHRAE or Percent On Time
settings. If the required ventilation has not been achieved for ASHRAE or Percent On
Time during calls for heat and cool, the thermostat will force the fan on.
ASHRAE: The thermostat operates the fan to meet the ASHRAE 62.2
ventilation standard based on CFM, number of bedrooms, and square footage
of the house. ASHRAE 62.2 can only be met if the fan is running. If the fan is
off for any reason (set up to turn Off during Sleep period, turned off by user
etc.), ASHRAE 62.2 is not met during those times.
Percent On Time: The thermostat operates the fan based on a percentage
entered in the installer setup (ISU 10120). For example, if Percent On Time
is set to 50%, the fan will run at random times during a 1 hour period until it
reaches a 50% run time (approximately 30 minutes). Options 10% to 100%.
