After installing the iDevices Thermostat, test your HVAC system using the steps below:
- Set your iDevices Thermostat to HEAT mode. Adjust the temperature set point above the ambient temperature in the room, and verify that the heat turns on.
- Set your iDevices Thermostat to COOL mode (if outside temperature is above 50°F). Adjust the temperature set point below the ambient temperature in the room, and verify that the cooling turns on.
- If your system has dual fuel sources (heat pump plus electric or fuel-fired emergency heat), set your iDevices Thermostat to EMERGENCY HEAT mode. Adjust the temperature set point above the ambient temperature in the room and verify that the heat turns on.
- If all of the available system modes function properly, the test is complete.
Note: If you have a heat pump or air conditioner, the iDevices Thermostat is designed to prevent damage to your compressor by waiting 5 minutes between restarts of your air conditioner or heat pump. If you are testing the operation of your air conditioner or heat pump, wait at least 5 minutes after changing the temperature setting for the system to turn on.
