The thermostat LCD display shows cabin air temperature during normal operation. Press UP or DOWN arrow
once for set point mode. The set point temperature and a flashing decimal point will be displayed on the LED in
set point mode. Press the UP or DOWN arrow again to adjust the set point to the desired value. After 5
seconds, EC4.0 will switch back to normal operating mode displaying cabin temperature. The new set point
then becomes effective.
The default set point temperature is 70°F. This setting is stored in EC4.0s non‐volatile memory. It takes effect
every time the system turns on. To change the default set point temperature setting, go into the setting mode
and adjust the set point to the desired value, then press the UP and DOWN arrow simultaneously. The new set
point value will be stored into the non‐volatile memory and become the default set point.
Turn system off
Press the MODE button until all the mode indicators turn off. The fan speed indicators and the thermostat LCD
display will turn off consequently.
Fan Only mode operation
Press the FAN button while the EC4.0 system is off. The A/C system will be running in Fan Only mode. (Only
evaporator blowers run, compressor and condenser remain off.) Press the FAN button to set the fan to desired
speed (Low, Medium or High). In Fan Only mode, the thermostat LCD still shows the cabin air temperature. To
turn Fan Only mode off, keep pressing the FAN button until all the fan speed indicators turn off.
