ThermostatThere are four types of thermostats used on Duo-Thermunits. Each type is explained in this section.C18a.MechanicalThermostatThe mechanical thermostat used for airconditioners has 2 terminals. It controlsthe on and off cycling of the compressor.The air temperature of 65° F or lessaround the sensor tube will not allowthe compressor to start and over 90°F, the compressor will run constantly.To check the thermostat for operation,turn the air conditioner breaker off, anddisconnect the wires to the thermostat.FIG. C4042Turn the control knob clockwise to cooler. You should havecontinuity. Turn the thermostat knob counter clockwise towarmer and no continuity should be present. This type isused on the mechanical series of heat pumps. The thermostatcontrols the ON/OFF cycling of the compressor. Ithas three terminals. <strong>Air</strong> temperature between 65° F and90° F will allow the thermostat to cycle the compressor. Inthe heat pump mode the compressor will not shut off if thetemperature is below 65° F, unless the changeover thermostatreaches 40° F. See Section C<strong>10</strong>, page 32. If thetemperature is over 90° F, the compressor will not operatein the heat pump mode. The reverse is true for air conditioningoperation. To check the thermostat for operation,turn the heat pump circuit breaker off, and disconnect thewires to the thermostat. Turn the control knob to COOLER.You should have continuity between Terminals 2 to 3 andno continuity between Terminal 2 to 1. Turn the thermostatto WARMER. You should not have continuity between Terminals2 to 3; and have continuity between Terminal 2 to 1.If you have incorrect readings, replace the thermostat. Ifyou have the readings as indicated above, DO NOT replacethe thermostat.C18b.Bimetal ThermostatThis thermostat is designed to operate 12V DC single-stageheat pump and an independent single-stage auxiliary heatsystem. It is a manual changeover thermostat betweenheating, cooling and auxiliary heat. Operating temperaturesfor both heating and cooling systems are changeable tosuit the comfort needs of the occupants.This thermostat is used for a remote wall mounted thermostat.The heat pump can have an air distribution box or aducted system. Next, verify wiring to the thermostat is correct.Thermostat Wiring for Dometic Bimetal Thermostat:Route the (<strong>10</strong>) conductor cable from the 14" x 14" openingto the thermostat location. Leave enough cable within the14" x 14" opening to connector to the low voltage cable. Atthe thermostat location, leave about six (6") inches of cableextending through the wall. Plug the thermostat cable intothe thermostat connector cable.When an auxiliary furnace is used with the heat pump, atwo conductor cable must be routed from the furnace tothe thermostat location. Connect one wire from the furnaceto the violet wires with a wire nut. Connect the other wirefrom the furnace to the green wire in the thermostat cableand secure with a wire nut. Tuck the excess wire back intothe wall and fill opening with insulation to prevent draftsthat could affect the thermostat operation. Secure the thermostatto the wall using the two screws.Note: Verify the heat anticipator is set properly for the auxiliaryfurnace. Failure to set the anticipator can cause incorrectoperation or failure of thermostat in AUX HEAT orHEAT PUMP setting.
Section C - Components, cont’d.Before checking the thermostat for operation, first determinethat the thermostat is receiving DC power from therelay board then disconnect the cable assembly from theback of the thermostat.FIG. C42Next, use a DC voltmeter and check from red wire or Pin 2on cable assembly (positive [+] lead from voltmeter) tobrown wire or Pin 7 (negative [-] lead from voltmeter). Youshould get a voltage reading of approximately 12V DC. Next,move the negative (-) lead from the voltmeter to each ofthe following wires or pins:Blue (Pin 6), Yellow (Pin 5), Black (Pin 4), White (Pin 3).You should get a voltage reading of approximately 12V DCon each wire. This indicates the relay board and cable assemblyare providing proper power and circuits to the thermostat.Note: Pin 2 (red wire) is positive DC volts when ambient(outside) air is above 40°F. Pin 1 (violet wire) is positive DCvolts when ambient (outside) air is below 40°F.If the voltage checks are correct and the unit does not operatecorrectly, check the thermostat. If the voltage checksare not as described, check the relay board (Section C17aand the cable assembly - C<strong>19</strong>).FIG. C41With room temperature BELOW setpoint temperature, youshould NOT have continuity between red wire to violet,white, black, yellow or blue wires.With System Switch in COOL, Fan Switch in LOW AUTOand room temperature ABOVE setpoint temperature, youshould have continuity between red wire (Pin 2) to blackwire (Pin 4) and yellow wire (Pin 5). You should NOT havecontinuity between red wire to violet, white or blue wires.With room temperature BELOW setpoint temperature, youshould NOT have continuity between red wire to violet,white, black, yellow or blue wires.With System Switch in COOL, Fan Switch in LOW ON androom temperature ABOVE setpoint temperature you shouldhave continuity between red wire (Pin 2) to black wire (Pin4) and yellow wire (Pin 5). You should NOT have continuitybetween red wire to violet, white, or blue wires. With roomtemperature BELOW setpoint temperature, you shouldhave continuity between red wire (Pin 2) to black wire (Pin4 ). You should NOT have continuity between red wire toviolet, white, yellow or blue wires.To check the thermostat, first remove it from its mountingon the wall. Then disconnect the thermostat assembly fromthe cable assembly in the wall. Now you are ready to do acontinuity check on the thermostat assembly. Place thepositive (+) lead from the ohm meter on red wire (Pin 2)and negative (-) lead from the ohm meter to the active pinor wire to read continuity. Polarity is important for propercheck to be done.With System Switch in COOL, Fan Switch in HI AUTO androom temperature ABOVE setpoint temperature, you shouldhave continuity between red wire (Pin 2) to black wire (Pin4), yellow wire (Pin 5) and blue wire (Pin 6). You shouldNOT have continuity between red wire to violet or whitewires.With System Switch in COOL, Fan Switch in HI ON androom temperature ABOVE setpoint temperature you shouldhave continuity between red wire (Pin 2) to black wire (Pin4), yellow wire (Pin 5) and blue wire (Pin 6). You shouldNOT have continuity between red wire to violet or whitewires. With room temperature BELOW setpoint temperature,you should have continuity between red wire (Pin 2)to black wire (Pin 4) and blue wire (Pin 6). You should NOThave continuity between red wire to violet, white or yellowwires.With System Switch in OFF, Fan Switch in HI AUTO orLOW AUTO and room temperature ABOVE or BELOWsetpoint temperature, you should NOT have continuity betweenred wire to violet, white, black, yellow or blue wires.With System Switch in OFF, Fan Switch in LOW ON androom temperature ABOVE or BELOW setpoint temperature,you should have continuity between red wire (Pin 2)to black wire (Pin 4). You should NOT have continuity betweenred wire to violet, white, yellow or blue wires.43
