6. Instruccions de funcionament

The LASCO 36-0181 thermostat features simple, manual controls for ease of use.

6.1. System Switch (OFF/ON)

This switch controls the overall power to the heating and cooling system through the thermostat.

• DESACTIVAT: Turns off the heating and cooling system. The thermostat will not activate the system.
• ACTIVITAT: Enables the thermostat to control the heating or cooling system based on the temperature setting and mode selection.

6.2. Mode Selector (HEAT/COOL)

This switch selects the operating mode for your HVAC system.

• CALOR: The thermostat will activate the heating system when the room temperature falls below your setpoint.
• GUAI: The thermostat will activate the cooling system when the room temperature rises above your setpoint.

6.3. Ajust de temperatura

Adjust the temperature setpoint by moving the slider or rotating the dial (depending on the specific model's design) to your desired temperature. The bi-metal thermometer will display the current room temperature.

6.4. Heat Anticipator Adjustment

The adjustable heat anticipator helps to prevent temperature overshoot and provides more consistent heating. This is typically a small lever or screw located inside the thermostat cover. Adjust it according to your heating system's current draw (usually found on the furnace's control board or in its manual). A common starting point is to set it to match the current draw of your heating system's control circuit. Adjusting it slightly higher will cause shorter heating cycles, while adjusting it lower will result in longer cycles.

7. Manteniment

• Neteja: Netegeu periòdicament l'exterior del termòstat amb un drap suau i sec.amp drap. No utilitzeu productes de neteja abrasius ni dissolvents. Assegureu-vos que no entri humitat als components interns.
• Flux d'aire: Ensure that the thermostat's vents (if any) are not blocked by dust or debris, as this can affect temperature readings.
• Revisió anual: It is recommended to have your HVAC system and thermostat checked annually by a qualified technician to ensure optimal performance.

8. Solució De Problemes

If you experience issues with your thermostat, try the following steps before contacting support:

• No Power to Thermostat/System:
  • Check the circuit breaker or fuse for your heating/cooling system. Reset if tripped.
  • Ensure the system switch on the thermostat is set to "ON".
• System Not Heating/Cooling:
  • Verify the mode selector is set to "HEAT" or "COOL" as desired.
  • Adjust the temperature setpoint to be significantly higher (for heat) or lower (for cool) than the current room temperature to trigger the system.
  • Check that the furnace or air handler's power switch is on.
  • Inspect wiring connections at the thermostat and the HVAC unit for looseness or corrosion.
• Lectura de temperatura inexacta:
  • Assegureu-vos que el termòstat no estigui exposat a la llum solar directa, corrents d'aire ni fonts de calor (per exemple,amps, electrodomèstics) que podrien afectar el seu sensor.
  • Netegeu la pols o les restes de les reixetes de ventilació del termòstat.
• Cicles del sistema massa freqüents/poc freqüents:
  • Adjust the heat anticipator setting (see Section 6.4).
