INTRODUCTION
Carrier's 7-day programmable/non-programmable
Thermidistat
Control is a wall-mounted, low-voltage control which combines
temperature and humidity control in a single attractive unit. An
extension of Carrier's proven line of thermostats, it provides
separate set points for heating and cooling, and now adds humidifiealioD 9DO de_u!q_idJEwalion, l_fferem he,_jng and cooling set
points and times are programmable for 4 periods per day and 7
days per week. The Thermidistat Control can also be fieldconfigured as a non-programmable thermostat. When operating in
the non-programmable
configuration it will still have both temperature and humidity control. Humidify and dehumidify outputs
provide direct control of humidity. Batteries are not used. During
power loss an internal memory stores programs and settings for
unlimited time, and the clock continues to ran for at least 8 hr.

Control Configuration

Configuration options, like DIP switch settings, are intended to be
selected at installation and normally are not modified by the
homeowner. These options are not discussed in the homeowner's
manual and therefore must be made as part of the installation. A
special procedure allows entry into the configuration mode. While
in configuration mode, up to 17 selections can be made. A
description of each selection and how to use the configuration

to operate. This can be somewhat complicated to determine and it
involves knowing the cost of gas and electricity, as well as the
efficiency of the furnace and heat pump. For the most economical
operation, the heat pump should operate above this temperature
(assuming it has sufficient capacity), and the furnace should
operate below this temperature.
COMFORT

The high pressure switch protects compressor and indoor coil from
overpressare which would occur if a failure or wiring error
resulted in the heat pump and furnace operating at the same time.
High Pressure Switch Kit includes required switch and instructions
for proper operation. For all dual fuel installations, outdoor
temperature sensor must be attached. If not, E3 error message will
appear. See "Error Codes."
This option requires prior selection of heat pump (DIP switch
1--<)N), and must be selected in dual fuel installations. It prevents
simultaneous operation of both furnace and heat pump, and
prevents direct transition from heat pump to furnace operation.
When system is dual fuel (heat pump and furnace), set to ON.
When system contains fan coil, set to OF. Factory default is OF
(off).

Option

ll--Balanee

Point Setting

This option is for dual fuel installations
only. It requires prior
selection of heat pump (DIP switch 1 -- ON) and dual fuel
equipment (Option 10 -- ON). It allows selection of an outdoor
temperature of 5°F. through 55°F. (or equivalent values in C.), or
OF (off). Heat pump is prevented from operating for outdoor
temperatures below selected temperature. If OF (off) is selected,
beat pump operation is allowed at all outdoor temperatures.
Factory default is OF (off). This setting can only be equal to or
below the setting choice made for Option 8. Moving the setting
higher may "push' Option 8 setting upward.
If the outdoor temperature is above the "balance point setting", the
heat pump will energize first to try to satisfy the indoor temperature demand. If the heat pump does not make a sufficient
improvement within a reasonable time period (i.e. 15 minutes),
then the gas furnace will come on to satisfy the indoor temperature
demand. If the outdoor temperature is below the "balance point
setting" the heat pump will not be allowed to operate (i.e. locked
out), and the gas furnace will be used to satisfy the indoor
temperature.
There are three separate concepts which are related to selecting the
final "balance point setting". Read each of the following carefully
to determine the best "balance point setting" in a dual fuel
installatiom

BALANCE TEMPERATURE:

When the heat pump is operating below this point, the indoor
supply air feels uncomfortable (i.e. too cool). This is purely
subjective and will depend on the homeowner's idea of comforl.
Below this temperature, the gas furnace should operate in order to
satisfy the desire of indoor comtort.

Option

12---Defrost Heat Select

This option allows installer to select the amount of heat provided
by Thermidistat Control during a heat pump defrost cycle. This can
be very helpful in maintaining a comfortable leaving air temperature during defrost. The Thermidistat Control senses when defrost
is in progress by monitoring voltage placed on the O line by the
heat pump while defrosting. It responds by turning on selected
combination of WI and W2 during defrost. Note that this is very
different from the operation of an ordinary thermostat, which
cannot sense defrost in progress and only turns on its W outputs in
response to a temperature demand. Combinations of WI and W2
are selected via the following:
Table
SELECTION

1--Wl

I W2

Outputs
DEFINITION

0

Neither W1 or W2 is turned on.
This is factory default,

1
2

Only W1 is turned on.
Both W1 and W2 turned on.

3

Only W2 turned on (available
only if 3-stage heat is selected).

TEMPERATURE:

The selection procedure is given below. If 0 is selected, operation
is like that of an ordinary thermostat, and a wire is required
between W2 of outdoor unit and a selected W on indoor unit.
When selection l, 2, or 3 is made, no wire should be connected
from outdoor W2 because this connection may override selection
made. Obviously the heater must be in 2 sections, and fan coil
jumper must be removed between WI and W2 for there to be a
difference between selections l, 2, and 3. For most heaters, Wl is
lower wattage heater, .and W2 is higher, although some have equal
elements for WI and W2. Consult fan coil/heater combination for
the actual wattage connected to each of Wl and W2.

This is the point where the beat pomp cannot provide sufficient
capacity to keep up with the indoor temperature demand because
of declining outdoor temperature. At or below this point, the
furnaceis needed to maintain proper indoor temperature.
ECONOMIC BALANCE TEMPERATURE:

In dual fuel applications, above selection choices apply and can be
used to select low or high heat if furnace is 2 stage. WI will
produce low heat. WI and W2 together produce high heat. This
option provides no value with single-stage furnaces because only
1 value of heat is available.

Above this point, the heat pump is the most cost efficient to
operate, and below this poinL the furnace is the most cost efficient

The selection choices guarantee selected outputs will be on during
defrost. If room temperature demand requires additional heat, it

An additional feature of Thermidistat Control defrost is that it
always allows defrost cycle to run to completion. The Thermidistat
Control leaves the Y output on as long as outdoor unit holds
voltage on the O line. even if it is satisfied. This prevents
premature termination of defrost cycles, which occur with normal
thermostats.

control for those users who do not want
programmability. The clock is retained, but the days of the week
and the daily schedules have been eliminated, making it operate as
if HOLD were permanently ON. Some of the buttons (used in
programming only and now not needed) are redefined to simplify
the non-programmable operation. To match these redefined buttons, a new keypad label, included with the Thermidistat, must be
placed over the original keypad label. Fig. 2 shows both the
original keypad label and the non-programmable keypad label.
When this option is selected, the new keypad label must be applied
over (or in place of) the original. Because these adhesive-backed
keypad labels are not designed to be removed, this conversion
should be considered permanent. Once the change to nonprogrammable operation is done, a procedure is not provided to
easily change it back. Should this change be needed, it is best to
trade the Tharmidistat for one which has not been converted.

HUMIDITY CONTROL FEATURES
The various humidity control features of the Thermidistat Control
are explained below. They are grouped into 2 sections: humidification and dehumidification. At the end of each sectina, instructions on how to select each feature are given.
HUMIDIFICATION
The Thermidistat Control directly connects to a standard 24-vac
humidifier to control humidification in the home. A humidify set
point between 10 and 45 percent relative humidity is selected by
the homeowner, or all humidification can be tamed off. When
humidity in home drops below set point, humidifier will be turned
on to raise humidity level. Humidification can only occur in
heating mode (HEAT or AUTO/HEAT). Five different humidification selections are available and are described below.
l. Normal Humidify
In normal humidify, humidifier will be on if there is a
humidity demand and any heating equipment is oil This will
include furnace, heat pump. or auxiliary heat. In heat pump
applications, this is an improvement over using an external
humidistat, which only supplies humidity when auxiliary heat
is on,
2.

Settings

Be sure to return DIP switch No. 4 back to OFF position to exit
installer setup mode. Assuming system is to be left in operation
after installation is complete, use MODE button to select between
HEAT, COOL, or AUTO to provide desired operation of heating,
cooling, or both.

3--Energy

3.

Fan Humidify
This configuration allows a humidify demand m turn on fan
and humidifier together, even if there is no heat demand. It is
particularly useful when the furnace is oversized, resulting in
short heating cycles. It allows the humidifier to run longer,
supplying more humidity to the home. Note that fan hours will
increase, using more electricity. Also, the humidifier delivers
less moisture to cooler air than it does to heated air.
Auto Humidify
This feature is designed to eliminate the problem of sweating
windows in very cold weather. When selected, the set point is
automatically reduced by 1 percent for every drop of 2°F in
outdoor temperature between 50°F and 0°F. The set point may
be changed at any time, and it will continue to track outdoor
temperature from the new set point and current outdoor
temperature. The adjusted set point range is still limited to
between 10 and 45 percent relative humidity. To use this
feature, an outdoor temperature sensor MUST be attached. If
not, E3 error message will be displayed.

4. Auto and Fan Humidify

The cool to dehumidify selection tells the system to operate
the compressor, within limits, when there is a dehumidify
demand even if there is no cooling demand. The limits are that
the system may overcool up to 3°, but no more. while
attempting to satisfy a dehumidify demand. Within this 3 °
range, there is an additional balance between overcooling and
humidity satisfaction. When overcooling
must occur, the
dehumidify set point is adjusted upward by 2 percent per
degree of overcooling. For example, a cooling set point of
76°F and a dehumidify set point of 60 percent is equivalent to
a cooling set point of 75°F and a dehumidify set point of 62
percent. This dehumidify set point change is internal to the
Thermidistat Control and is not shown on the display.

The 2 choices of AUTO and FAN can be selected together.
This provides both functions simultaneously.

To Select Humidification (Between NORMAL, FAN, AUTO,

Press HUMIDITY button to bring up humidity select screen. It is
indicated by "hu" or "dhu" in clock display. Successive presses
will change between "hu" and "dhu" in clock display. Select "hu"
for humidity functions. The large display shows actual humidity
level. The smaller display (in heat set point location) shows
humidity set point (Humidify Set Point) or OF (off). When
Humidity Set Point value is displayed, its value can be changed
with up and down buttons. Successive presses of MODE button
will move between 5 choices described above and each will be
indicated as shown in Table 4.

During cool-to-dehumidify
demand, the compressor runs a
maximum of 10 minutes on, followed by 10 minutes off.
When the compressor turns off, the fan (G output) is also
turned off immediately. The immediate fan shutoff prevents
re-evapormion of water on the coil, improving dehumidification. If fan is set to continuous, the G (fan on) signal is
removed for 5 minutes starting when compressor turns off.

To exit humidity select screen, press END button.
Additional

In most furnaces and fan coils, the blower operates for 90 sec
after beth Y and G disappear. This 90-see delay should be
removed, if possible, for maximum dehumidification performance. Consult furnace or fan coil Installation Instructions to
see if delay can be disabled.

Humidify Comments

The humidifier is actually turned on when humidity is 2 percent
below set point and turned off when it reaches 2 percent above set
point. This built-in hysteresis prevents humidify output from
toggling on and off when humidity level is near set point.

dehumidify set point (DSP) or OF (off). When DSP value is
displayed, its value can be changed with up and down buttons.
Successive presses of MODE button moves between 3 choices
above and each will be indicated as in Table 5.

Dehumidification is done only during cooling. Depending on type
of equipment used, compressor speed, blower speed, set point
adjustment, and equipment cycling are modified to provide added
dehumidification. A dehumidification set point (separate from
humidification set point) is available to the homeowner. It can
range from 50 to 90 percent relative humidity. When actual
humidity is higher than set point, a dehumidification demand
exists. The TbermidistaI Control responds by activating its dehumidify output. It may also control the compressor and blower,
depending on equipment type and dehumidify selection choice.
The 3 available selections are described below.

Superdehumidify

(With Cool to Dehumidify)

This selection only affects cool-to-dehumidify
operation. It is part
of the installer setup (see Configuration Option No. 7) and must be
made by installer. The Homeowner's Guide does not cover this
selection. A requirement is the use of a variable-speed indoor unit
with supordehumidify capability. During cool-to-dehumidify call,
it provides maximum dehumidification
by reducing airflow to a
minimum. The actual superdehumidify command from Thermidistat Control to the indoor unit is a Y signal without a G signal in
addition to dehumidify signal. The indoor unit responds to this
combination by reducing the airflow to a minimum. All other
characteristics of cool to dehumidify are the same.

The amount of extra dehumidification available is very dependent
on the type of equipment in the home. Without a variable-speed
blower, the system's ability to adjust dehumidification is very
limited.
I. Normal Dehumidify Operation
When normal dehumidify is selected, the compressor will not
turn on without a cooling demand. If dehumidify demand
exists while cooling, dehumidify output will also be active
(24vat removed). This output commands variable-speed
blowers to reduce Iheir airflow, which improves water removal from the cooled air.

Carrier 58MVP Furnaces also have a DEHUM input. The DEHUM input acts differently depending on which style of variablespeed fumace control you have. The older style variable-speed

style variable-speed furnace control has a DE connection. Both of
these variable-speed furnace controls function the same except the
DEHUM logic is reversed.

humidity removal is desired, this should be done, if possible. Fan
coils have the capability of removing this off delay, furnaces do
not. On FK or FV Fan Coils, set delay tap to 0/0. On standard fan
coils, a jumper can be cut to disable off delay. Refer to fan coil
Installation Instructions for details. If FAN is set for continuous
operation (fan ON icon displayed), G output is tamed off for 5
minutes at the end of each cooling cycle as long as dehumidify
demand exists.

On the older style variable-speed
furnace controls, a fieldsupplied relay is required between the Thermidistat Control
and furnace. The relay coil is connected between DHUM output
on the Thermidistat Control and COM terminal on the furnace
control. Its normally closed contact is connected between R and
DEHUM terminals on the furnace control, where the DEHUM
terminal is a spade lug located next to the transformer secondary
connections. (See Wiring Diagram Reference Chart and Fig. 21
through 24 in Wiring Diagram literature). When a dehumidify
demand exists, relay is de-energized, and normally closed contacts
supply 24vat to the furnace DEHUM terminal. As a result the
furnace control reduces the blower airflow by 15 percent.

Like humidify, dehumidify actions are initiated when humidity is
2 percent above set point and are terminated when humidity drops
to 2 percent below set point. This prevents unnecessary toggling of
dehumidify actions when humidity is near set point.
The vacation mode contains additional dehumidify features designed to protect an unoccupied home. Refer to the "Vacation"
section for additional information.
With any dehumidify selection, if the system has a 2-speed
compressor (DIP switch No. 2 is ON) and does NOT have a
variable-speed blower (Configuration Option No. 5 set to OFF), all
cooling will be done at high speed while dehumidify demand
exists. This is because the combination of 2-speed compressor
without variable-speed blower generally has poor water removal
on low speed.
Dehumidify Output and Equipment

On newer style variable-speed
furnace controls, a fieldsupplied relay IS NOT required. The DHUM output on the
Thermidistat Control is instead connected directly to the DEHUM
terminal on the furnace control, where the DEHUM terminal is a
spade lug located next to the transformer secondary connections.
In addition the DE jumper located next to the DEHUM terminal
must be removed to enable the DEHUM input. (See Wiring
Diagram Reference Chart and Fig. 25 through 28 in Wiring
Diagram literature). When a dehumidify demand exists the furnace
control reduces the blower airflow by 21 percent.

Connections

When there is a dehumidify demand, dehumidify output is
activated, which means that a 24-vac signal is removed from the
DHUM output terminal. In other words, dehumidify output logic is
reversed -- output is turned ON when no dehumidify demand
exists and is tamed OFF when demand exists. This logic reversal
has come about from historical use of a standard humidistat to do
dehumidification. The humidistat contacts open on high humidity,
thus removing a 24-vac signal to initiate dehumidification. Equipment has been designed to operate in this manner, so the
Thermidistat Control must now accommodate the existing equipment.

VACATION
A vacation selection is available specifically for times where the
home will not be occupied for an extended period. For convenience. 1 button selects vacation mode which is indicated by OUT
icon on display. Vacation mode also has an automatic hold,
meaning that set points are not affected by the programmed
schedule. While in vacation mode, the system provides temperature and humidity protection for the home in all seasons, but not
comfort.

Carrier FK and FV Series Variable-Speed Fan Coils, all 58UHV
and 58UXV 80% Variable-Speed Furnaces, and 58MVP 90%
Variable-Speed Furnaces with the DE connection have dehumidify
inputs which connect directly to Thermidistat Control DHUM
output. They are compatible with the reverse logic output and will
reduce their cooling CFM by approximately 20 percent when a
dehumidify demand is present.
The FK and FV Series Fan Coils have a terminal marked DH
which should be connected to the Thermidistat Control DHUM

Vacation Set Points
A special set of temperature and humidity set points exists which
are active in vacation mode. They are adjustable by the homeowner, are exclusively for vacation mode, and are remembered
from 1 vacation selection to the next. These set points will be
higher for cool and dehumidify and lower for heat and humidify
than those of occupied mode.

output. Jumper J1 on fan coil MUST be removed. It is located
behind the DH terminal. Additionally blower delay tap on fan coil
should be set to (3/0 (no ON delay and no OFF delay) when using
cool to dehumidify. With this selection, the blower stops when G
signal is removed, preventing re-evaporation of water from the coil
which would occur during the normal 90 sec blower off delay. (See
Wiring Diagram Reference Chart and Fig. 5 through 8 in Wiring
Diagram/iterature).

Vacation Humidification
Normal humidify is available, using vacation set points. Humidification by fan only is not available as vacation selection. Auto
humidification is available, adjusting its set point with outdoor
temperature the same as when occupied. The maximum humidity
set point can be adjusted separately from the occupied value, but
it must always be less than occupied value. This allows humidification to track outdoor temperature identically, whether occupied
or vacation, but allows maximum humidification to be less when
unoccupied. Vacation humidification can be turned off independently of occupied humidification.

On 58UHV and 58UXV Furnaces, a green wire marked DHUM is
connected to a spade lug which is connected to the G input
terminal. Unplug spade lug, cut off spade receptacle from wire
end, and splice a wire between green DEHUM wire and Thermidistat Control DHUM terminal. (See Wiring Diagram Reference
Chart and Fig. 17 through 20 in Wiring Diagram literature).

INDICATORS

The humidity screen (selected by pressing the HUMIDITY button)
uses the same triangles referenced in the above paragraph to
indicate the state of the HUM and DHUM outputs. When
humidification or dehumidification is active, the triangle under its
set point is turned on.

Cool to dehumidify operates slightly differently, allowing the
home to be cooled to as low as 70°F when trying to achieve
dehumidify set point. The balance between dehumidify and
temperature set point adjustments is 1 percent set point increase
per degree of overcooling for temperatures below 76°F. For
example, at 74°F dehumidify set point is raised 2 percent, and at
72°F dehumidify set point is raised 4 percent. At temperatures
above 76°F, dehumidify set point is not changed.
