2. Set the thermostat to the EMERGENCY HEAT mode.
• With the O/B configuration setting in the B position (ON),
the O/B terminal will be on in the Emergency Heat mode. In
the O position (OFF), the O/B terminal will not be on in the
Emergency Heat mode.
3. Raise the temperature setting above the room temperature to
activate Emergency Heat. The mode display will change from
“EHEAT MODE” to “HEATING”, which will flash, when the
thermostat is calling for heat. Fifteen (15) seconds must
elapse between each stage. Verify the correct outputs are on
