OPERATION
AUTO – On call for heat, the automatic second stage will
determine the optimum timing between stages for comfort.
Auto will adapt the delay to energize MV HI from instantly to
up to 12 minutes.
OPTION SWITCHES
The option switches on the 50M56-743 control are used
to determine the length of the heat delay-to-fan-off period,
the mode of operation, and the 2nd stage delay period. The
