Overriding the Program Settings
 
Sometimes it may be desirable to override the program settings without changing the program. 
Turning a zone off:
 
On occasion it may be desirable to turn a zone off. For example, you may have a sunroom that is only used during the summer season,
or a workshop that may only be conditioned in the winter.
1.  To turn off a zone during cooling operation, press the up button until ÒOFÓ is displayed (above 90¡).
2.  To turn off a zone during heating operation, press the down button until ÒOFÓ is displayed (below 40¡).
OFF is a permanent override for that zone, and Hold will be displayed in the LCD. To turn the zone back on, press the up or down
button until the desired temperature is displayed. 
Temporarily overriding the program settings in a particular zone until the next period:
 
Perhaps you have guests and the temperature in that zone is getting too warm. You can temporarily change the desired temperature
for that period.
1.  Press the Next Zone button until the desired zone is displayed.
2.  Press the up or down buttons to the new desired temperature, or
3.  If necessary, press the Out button to change the zone to occupied or unoccupied (minimal heating or cooling). 
Overriding the program settings in a particular zone for an indefinite period of time:
 
If you have a zone that is a guest room, you may have the temperature in that zone set back to avoid sending unneeded conditioning
to that room. Now you have a guest. There is a quick method to override the settings for that zone.
1.  Press the Next Zone button until the desired zone is displayed.
2.  Press the Hold button.
3.  Press the Set Time/Temp button to select the heat or cool desired temperature.
4.  Press the up or down buttons to change the desired temperature. 
A98172 
Overriding the desired temperatures for all zones with the desired temperatures of one 
particular zone for an indefinite period of time:
 
If you are going on vacation, you may want to change the desired temperature to conserve energy. There is a way to do this without
reprogramming your schedules.
1. Press the Next Zone button until the zone with the desired temperature is displayed.
2. Press the All Zone button, and all the remaining zones will now have two dashes in place of the desired tempera-
ture display. These zones will now have the same desired temperature as the primary zone that was chosen.
3. Press the Hold button (indefinite).

Controlling Your  Humidity
 
Your Comfort Zone II system allows you to control the indoor humidity if you have optional equipment such as a humidifier or a
variable speed system. If you do not have these options, you can still view the indoor humidity in your home or business as well as
dehumidify your home or business while on vacation to prevent moisture damage. Check with your dealer to determine your equip-
ment features and limitations.
Depending upon where you live or work and the season of the year, you may need to humidify or dehumidify the air in your home
or business. With your new zoning system, you can control indoor humidity through your user interface instead of having several
different controls. 
Viewing the indoor humidity:
 
  
A96475 
1. Press the up and down buttons simultaneously. First the outdoor air temperature will be shown, then the indoor humidity. 
Programming the humidification setpoint (optional feature for use with a humidifier):
 
1. Press the Set Time/Temp and Fan buttons at the same time to enter the humidity programming mode. 
A98173

b.  FAN icon off Ñ when humidification is needed, the humidifier and the fan will be turned on only while heating.
Selection a will provide maximum humidifying capability, but because the heat source is not on, the air may feel cold. 
Selection b saves water and will provide adequate humidification under normal circumstances. The figure shows 
Selection a FAN will not be displayed with Selection b. 
A98174 
5. If your system includes the optional outdoor air temperature sensor, press the Mode button to select between:
a. AUTO icon on Ñ as the outdoor temperature decreases, the humidification setpoint automatically decreases to
prevent excess moisture buildup on windows in colder weather. The humidification setpoint changes with 
outdoor temperature.

Programming the dehumidification setpoint (optional feature for use with variable speed
equipment):
 
1. Press the Set Time/Temp and Fan buttons at the same time to enter the humidity programming mode.
2. Press the Set/Time button until the upper setpoint is flashing.  
A98176 
3. Press the up or down arrows to raise or lower the desired setting. This can be set from 50Ð90 percent or off.
4. Press the End button at any time to exit the humidity programming function. 
Programming your system for the Cool to Dehumidify function:
 
The dehumidification feature is designed for use with variable speed indoor equipment. However, if you have standard equip-
ment or live or work in a very humid climate, you can choose to run your cooling equipment more often to remove excess mois-
ture from the air. The Cool to Dehumidity feature allows the system to turn on the air conditioning as needed to try to reach the
dehumidification setpoint, while only lowering your indoor temperature 3 degrees. So, if you have set your cooling desired
temperature at 76¡ and your dehumidification setpoint at 65 percent, the system will turn on the air conditioning to try to reach
the 65 percent, allowing the temperature to drop to no less then 73¡ in your home or business. To activate this function, follow
the steps below:
1. Press the Set Time/Temp and Fan buttons at the same time to enter the humidity programming mode.
2. Press the Set Time/Temp button until the upper setpoint is flashing.
3. Press the up or down arrows to raise or lower the desired setting. This can be set from 50Ð90 percent or off.
4. Press the Mode button and the COOL icon will be displayed.
5. Press the End button at any time to exit the humidity programming function.

Programming your system to dehumidify while on vacation:
 
If you are traveling or your home or business will be unoccupied for some period of time, you may want to occasionally run
the air conditioner to prevent moisture damage. This feature is particularly important in very humid regions.
Following the five steps listed in the previous section, adjust the dehumidification setpoint to your desired setting and activate
the ÒCool to DehumidifyÓ function. Make sure the COOL icon is displayed. Press the End key to exit the humidity program-
ming function.
From the normal operation mode, press the Hold, Out, and All Zone buttons in that order to program all zones to an unoccupied
status. Until you return, the air conditioning equipment will be turned on as necessary to reach the dehumidification setpoint,
but it will not drop the indoor temperature lower than 70¡F. In order for this function to work properly, it must be used with
the ÒCool to DehumidifyÓ feature.
Humidity Control is an additional enhancement to your Comfort Zone II system. You may choose not to use this feature because of
equipment limitations, geographic location, or personal preference.
