heating),  
The icomfortWi-Fithermostat can connect to online services via the inter-  
net through the homeowner’s Wi−Fi access point. After online registration is  
completed, the system may then be accessed by the homeowner from any-  
where using a remote internet connection via computer or personal commu-  
nicating device.

G71MPP or SLP98 Furnace Note:  
If your icomfort Wi-Fithermostat is being used with a G71MPP or SLP98 furnace and is set to variable−capacity mode of operation (the icomfortdefault  
with these units), the thermostat’s settings for stage timers are ignored (even if shown enabled in the thermostat). The stage timer will be used on the cooling  
side. The furnace software sets and controls the firing rates. The only other controlling factor is the stage temperature differentials. In Load−Tracking Variable  
Capacity (default for these furnaces), both stage timers and temperature differentials are ignored.

Humidification and Dehumidification Modesꢁhow they work  
HUMIDIFICATION modes  
In PRECISION mode, dehumidification occurs if all BASIC conditions are  
true, except cooling demand may or may not be present. Also note that:  
Maximum overcool from cooling setpoint is 2ºF.  
BASIC & PRECISIONꢀThese modes allow user control of RH between 15  
and 45%. These conditions must be met for either mode to operate:  
Deadband temperature is limited to a minimum of 5ºF (instead of 3ºF  
in BASIC or DISPLAY ONLY mode) because of 2ºF overcooling.  
humidification mode has been enabled, and  
the unit is in HEAT mode, and  
®
Humiditrol or Auxiliary Dehumidifier mode requires:  
humidification demand exists (24V present at H), and  
BASIC mode also requires presence of heating demand [Y for HP  
heat, or W for gas heat (W may be energized with G de−energized)].  
NOTE − Systems using icomfortt and a dehumidifier − ꢀDehum" jumper on  
furnace/air handler control does not need to be cut when using with a icom-  
fort Wi-Fit thermostat.  
Wi−Fi is operational or outdoor sensor is installed and set up  
dehumidification has been enabled on installer settings, and  
the unit is in COOL mode, (or if in AUTO, at least one thermostat cool-  
ing call made prior to the dehumidification demand), and  
a dehumidification demand exists (RH above setpoint), and  
outdoor temp. below 95°F; indoor temp. above 65°F, and  
DEW POINTꢀ(Available only if Wi−Fi is operational or outdoor sensor is at-  
tached)  
Basic Dew Point ControlꢀBasic Dew Point Control adjustment mode will  
change the humidification setpoint based on the outdoor temperature and a  
user−defined dew point adjustment setting.

In the absence of heating or cooling calls, or  
Simultaneous with blower only calls.  
NOTE − Basic and Precision dehumidification modes are functions of the  
HVAC system with NO external dehumidification devices installed. Humidi-  
trol and Auxiliary Dehumidifiers do not use these modes.  
If the blower is required to operate while the auxiliary dehumidifier is running,  
a separate wire must be installed from the auxiliary dehumidifier to the indoor  
unit’s G thermostat input that will energize G when the auxiliary dehumidifier  
InBASIC mode, dehumidification occurs if these conditions are met and sig-  
nals are present at specific terminals:  
dehumidification has been enabled on installer settings, and  
the unit is in COOL mode, and  
Auxiliary dehumidification is controlled by the thermostat dehumidification  
demand.

Stage Delay & Differential Settings (Installer settings)  
1st Stage Differential1ꢀStage 1 differential is used in all thermostats. The  
default is 1.0°F but can be programmed between 0.5° and 3.0°F in 0.5°F in-  
crements.  
previous stage of heating or cooling will not raise or lower the room tempera-  
ture to the setpoint in a given time.  
When Disabled is selected all stage delay timers are disabled. This means  
stages are changed based on the temperature and not their timer delays.  
From the equipment button, use the arrows to select 1st Stage Differential.  
Press edit. Use the up/down arrows to adjust to the desired setting and  
press save.  
NOTE − The 2nd Stage Delay Timer (when Staged Delay Timers is Enabled)  
is used for both HEATING and COOLING. However, if the system has a vari-  
able capacity furnace, 2nd Stage Delay Timer will only be used for COOL-  
ING (not for heating, as the variable capacity algorithm ignores delay tim-  
ers).  
2nd Stage Differential (where applicable)2ꢀThe default is 1.0°F but can be  
programmed between 0.5° and 8.0°F in 0.5°F increments.  
3rd Stage Differential through 6th Stage Differential (where applica-  
ble)3ꢀThe default is 0.5°F but can be programmed between 0.5°F and  
8.0°F in 0.5°F increments.  
2nd thru 6th Stage Delay timer (where applicable)5ꢀIf Staged Delay Tim-  
ers are Enabled, the default delay is 20 minutes but can be programmed  
from 5 to 120 minutes in 5−minute increments. If first stage fails to advance  
the ambient temperature toward the setpoint by 1.0°F in the programmed  
delay time, then the second stage is activated.  
NOTE − Each stage’s differential is based on the previous stage’s differential  
endpoint. For example, in cooling mode, if stage 1 differential is set to 1.0ºF,  
then the system comes on 0.5ºF above setpoint and the 2nd differential  
starts at the 0.5ºF stage 1 endpoint and extends to 2nd stage differential end-  
point.  
Heat Cool Stages Locked In6ꢀdefault Disabled (heat/cool stages are  
turned off separately). If changed to Enabled, heat/cool stages are turned off  
together. Scroll to Heat Cool Stages Locked In; press edit. Use arrows to  
select between Disabled or Enabled. Press save.  
NOTE − In normal operation, the end of the cooling demand is at the setpoint  
−0.5ºF and the end of the heating demand is at the setpoint +0.5ºF.  
Lock In 2nd stage HP by Outdoor Temp7ꢀdefault Off (heat pump stage 2  
operates normally). Use this setting to lock in the 2nd stage compressor  
when the outdoor temperature is at or less than the LOCK TEMP setpoint.

Smooth Setback Recovery (SSR)  
SSR is an algorithm designed to ꢁsmoothly" reach a occupied program  
schedule setpoint. The algorithm looks 2 hours ahead for the occupied pro-  
gram schedule period’s setpoint. If the occupied setpoint requires the sys-  
tem to turn on (present temperature below the heat setpoint or above the  
cool setpoint), then SSR will calculate a new setpoint. Once initiated, SSR  
monitors the change in room temperature and calculates a new setpoint ev-  
ery 30 seconds. Then SSR provides this new setpoint for the heating and  
cooling algorithms; the new setpoint will be displayed on the User Interface.  
Rules for SSR:  
1. SSR is enabled when ꢁSmooth Setback Recovery" is set to enabled  
and the program schedule is turned on.  
2. When SSR is enabled, then it will check for a new setpoint every 30  
seconds.  
3. The SSR Target Program Schedule setpoint is always 2 hours ahead.  
4. When SSR starts, then the Current SSR setpoint will equal the current  
program schedule setpoint.  
5. When a new program schedule period starts, then the New SSR set-  
point will equal the new program schedule period’s setpoint, unless  
there are two or more program periods within the 2 hour window. In this  
case, SSR will track the highest heat setpoint or the lowest cool set-  
point found in the 2 hour window.  
6. SSR will NOT run during a program schedule HOLD.  
7. SSR does NOT look at the current temperature.  
8. If the target program heat setpoint is lower than the Current SSR heat  
setpoint, then the New SSR Heat Setpoint will equal the Current SSR  
Setpoint.  
9. If the target program cool setpoint is higher than the Current SSR cool  
setpoint, then the New SSR Cool Setpoint will equal the Current SSR  
Setpoint.  
10. The New SSR Setpoint will be displayed on the User Interface.  
11. SSR does NOT control the equipment.  
12. SSR does NOT turn off Stage Delay Timers.  
13. SSR does NOT round the newly rounded setpoint, but the setpoint  
shown on the user interface is rounded.  
14. SSR will NOT change the Temperature Dead band.  
15. SSR will not adjust a setpoint to violate the Temperature Dead band.  
16. SSR will not overshoot the Target Setpoint.

Heat Pump, Dual Fuel and Balance Points  
IMPORTANT − The Balance Points feature requires that a sensed out-  
door temperature is provided to the thermostat. This can be either a  
connection to Wi−Fi (for local temperature information) or a connection  
to an outdoor sensor (included in all communicating icomfortt−en-  
abled heat pumps; optional outdoor temperature sensor X2658 for  
non−communicating heat pumps).  
pump is not as effective at a lower outdoor temperatures, it may be more  
comfortable to use the auxiliary electric heat or the furnace (in dual fuel sys-  
tems, it may be more economical) to satisfy a demand for heat. The low bal-  
ance point options are from −20°F to the high balance point temperature. The  
setpoint can be adjusted in 1.0°F steps.  
High Balance Point  
If the outside temperature is above the programmed high balance point (set  
by default at 50°F), auxiliary electric heat operation or furnace operation (in  
dual fuel system) is not allowed. This ensures that the lower cost heat pump  
operation will satisfy the heating demand, rather that the more expensive  
auxiliary electric heat. The high and low balance points will not lock out both  
compressor heat and auxiliary heat/furnace at the same time.  
Heat Pump Balance Points  
The LOW and HIGH setpoints may be controlled by the icomfortWi-Fither-  
mostat using the LOW and HIGH Balance Points feature. To enable the Bal-  
ance Points feature, go to the installer section equipment button. Scroll  
down to the ꢁSystem" screen, select edit and scroll down to Balance Points  
Controls. Use arrows to select Enabled and then press save. See the flow-  
chart (Page 33) for a simplified explanation of how balance points control  
system operation.  
Dual Fuel Applications (Communicating Systems Only)  
Dual fuel applications, which include both a Heat Pump and a gas furnace,  
will provide multiple stages of heating. For example, a two−stage heat pump  
would deliver two stages of heat. The gas furnace can add two to four more  
stages of heat. Figure 35 flow chart illustrates Dual Fuel operation with Bal-  
ance Points.  
Low Balance Point  
If the outside temperature is below the programmed low balance point (set  
by default at 25°F), compressor operation is not allowed. Since the heat

The thermostat monitors room temperature, previous heat cycle times, and  
target setpoint to determine the starting firing rate, and any required firing  
rate increases or decreases during the thermostat demand.  
Variable Capacity Control of Gas Heat Mode  
(G71MPP and SLP98V)  
The thermostat includes a feature that provides variable capacity control of  
the gas heat mode. The purpose of variable capacity control is to keep the  
room temperature at, or near, the desired setpoint with minimum system  
cycling. The thermostat bases its ꢁdecisions" for furnace operation control  
using the following inputs:  
During a heat demand, the icomfort thermostat monitors the differential be-  
tween setpoint and room temp. As this differential increases and reaches  
field adjustable levels (stages), the thermostat will increase firing rate ac-  
cordingly to maintain room temperature and ultimately satisfy the heat de-  
mand. On the next heat cycle, the icomfort stat will calculate a new starting  
firing rate (in 1% increments) with the goal of maintaining room temperature  
at, or near, thermostat setpoint with a minimum of system cycling. The prin-

Table 2. Variable Capacity Furnace Operation  
The thermostat uses this information to vary the heating capacity to efficient-  
ly satisfy the heating demand. The full range of the furnace heating capacity  
(low end is a percent of the 1st stage capacity; high range is 100% of full  
capacity) is used. When in variable capacity gas heat mode, the furnace op-  
eration includes longer run times at lower heat stages.

1. Thermostat will immediately increase variable capacity fur-

ing the second stage thermostat demand.  
Some furnaces can be configured to provide up to four stages of gas heat  
operation. When staged heating is chosen, the icomfort thermostat allows  
you to choose between 1, 2, 3 and 4 stages of heat.  
2. Furnace firing rate will increase by 5% every 5 minutes (up to  
100% if second stage thermostat is not satisfied.) If thermo-  
stat second stage demand is satisfied the current firing rate  
will continue until all thermostat demands are satisfied.  
Single−stage heat: 1st stage provides 100% of full capacity.  
Two−stage heat: 1st stage provides 70% of full capacity; 2nd stage  
provides 100% of full capacity.  
Third level heat de-  
mand added.  
1. Thermostat will immediately increase variable capacity fur-  
nace firing rate to the calculated BTU percentage represent-  
ing the third stage thermostat demand.  
Three−stage heat: 1st stage provides 60% of full capacity; 2nd stage  
provides 80% of full capacity; 3rd stage provides 100% of full capacity.  
Four−stage heat: 1st stage provides 35 or 40% of full capacity; 2nd  
stage provides 60% of full capacity; 3rd stage provides 80% of full ca-  
pacity; 4th stage provides 100% of full capacity.  
2. Thermostat will increase the firing rate by 5% every 5 minutes  
(up to 100% if third stage thermostat is not satisfied.) If ther-  
mostat third stage demand is satisfied the current firing rate  
will continue until all thermostat demands are satisfied.  
Fourth level heat de-  
mand added.  
Icomfort thermostat will immediately set variable capacity  
furnace firing rate to 100% until all thermostat demands are  
satisfied.  
SLP98 variable capacity furnaces BTU’s firing rates can be incremented by  
as little as 1% (35% to 100% range available) as the thermostat may dictate.

Interesting points about the Proportional Integral Algorithm  
(PIA):  
Load−trackingVariable Capacity FAQs  
(SLP98V only)  
What is Load−tracking Variable Capacity? When an SLP98 Furnace is  
connected to an icomfort Wi−Fithermostat, the thermostat takes complete  
charge of the variable capacity staging of the furnace. Loadtracking Vari-  
able Capacity is only available with icomfort Wi−Fi thermostats.  
The further temperature is from the current set point, the higher PIA  
sets the heating rate.  
The longer away from a programmed set point, the higher the heating  
rate.  
How is Load−tracking Variable Capacity different from Variable Ca-  
pacity? Load−tracking Variable Capacity will smoothly track the load (sensi-  
ble temperature changes) up and down and adjust the furnace heating rate  
both ways. Variable capacity only tracks the load upward (rising tempera-  
ture). Variable capacity uses the thermostats stage differentials but not  
stage timers. LVC disregards both stage differentials and stage timers.  
If needed, PIA will turn heating on and off in short cycles when there  
is a heat demand that is lower than the lowest the furnace can provide.  
If the heat demand is higher than the minimum the furnace can provide,  
the furnace will run without shutting off.  
As the room temperature rises nearer the set point, the heating rate will  
decrease.  
What makes Load−tracking Variable Capacity work? With icomfort  
As the room temperature falls further away from the set point, the heat-  
ing rate will increase.  
Load−trackingVariable Capacity, the thermostat uses a Proportional Integral  
Algorithm (PIA) to control firing rates of the furnace. The algorithm in the  
Load−tracking Variable Capacity provides much more precise control over  
the furnace than the Variable Capacity algorithm.  
The stage differentials have no effect when running the PIA.  
The second stage timers have no effect when running the PIA.

Unused wires  
Communicating systems using the icomfort Wi-Fithermostat require four  
thermostat wires between the thermostat and the furnace/air handler control  
and four wires between the outdoor unit and the furnace/air handler control.  
When a thermostat cable with more than four wires is used, the extra wires  
must be properly connected to avoid electrical noise. The wires must not be  
left disconnected.  
Use wire nuts to bundle the unused wires at each end of the cable. A single  
wire should then be connected to the indoor unit end of the wire bundle and  
attached to the ꢁC" terminals as shown in the diagram above.  
This is not an issue in non−communicating systems.
