INTRODUCTION
The Infinity System consists of several intelligent communicating components which include the Infinity Control (or User Interface), variable speed furnace or FE fan coil, 2–stage AC or HP and Infinity Packaged Products, which continually communicate with each other via a four-wire connection called the ABCD bus. Commands, operating conditions, and other data are passed continually between components over the ABCD bus. The result is a new level of comfort, versatility, and simplicity.
All Infinity furnaces or fan coils are variable–speed and multi-stage for maximum flexibility, efficiency, and comfort. They support controlled ventilation, humidification, dehumidification, and air quality control. Either an Infinity (communicating), or a standard 24VAC controlled outdoor unit may be used.
When using conventional outdoor units, the Infinity furnace or fan coil provides the 24-volt signals needed to control them. Also, the Infinity Network Interface Module (P/N SYSTXCCNIM01) allows the connection of a Carrier HRV or ERV without the need for a separate wall control.
All system components are controlled through the wall-mounted Infinity Control, which replaces the conventional thermostat and provides the homeowner with a single wall control for all features of the system.
INSTALLATION, START-UP OVERVIEW
This instruction covers the installation of the Infinity Control only. Physical installation instructions for the indoor and outdoor equipment and accessories are provided with each unit.
Setup, commissioning, operation, and troubleshooting of the Infinity System are covered only in this installation instruction. It is the guide to connecting the system components and
commissioning the system once all physical components are installed. The special screen prompts and start-up capabilities are provided in the Infinity System to simplify and automate the initial commissioning of the system.
- Install Infinity Control according to this instruction.
- Install indoor unit, outdoor unit, and accessories according to their instructions.
- Wire complete system according to this instruction.
- Setup, commission, and operating system according to this instruction to assure a smooth and trouble-free startup.

Infinity Control Location and Wiring Considerations
WARNING
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
Disconnect power before routing control wiring.
All wiring must comply with national, local, and state codes.
Infinity Control Location
The Infinity Control User Interface is the command center for the Infinity System. It should be located where it is easily accessible and visible to the adult homeowner or end-user.
For accurate temperature measurement, the following guidelines should be followed:
The Infinity Control and Room Sensors should be mounted:
- Approximately 5–ft (1.5 m) from the floor.
- Close to or in a frequently used room, preferably on an inside partitioning wall.
- On a section of wall without pipes or ductwork.
The Infinity Control and Room Sensors should NOT be mounted: - Close to a window, on an outside wall, or next to a door leading to the outside.
- Exposed to direct light or heat from a lamp, sun, fireplace, or other temperature–radiating objects which could cause a false reading.
- Close to or in direct airflow from supply registers.
- In areas with poor air circulation, such as behind a door or in an alcove.
Remote Room Sensor Option
A Remote Room Sensor can be used with the Infinity Control to take the place of the User Interface internal temperature sensor. This allows the Infinity Control to be mounted in areas with less than optimal airflow (such as near an exterior door, window, or in a closet). The remote sensor can be wired to the terminal block connectors labeled S1 and S2 at the User Interface backplate, or the ZS1 and ZS1C connection at the Damper Control Module. In either case, the Infinity Control will automatically detect the
Remote Room Sensor and ignore its internal temperature sensor. Typically, one remote sensor is used but, multiple sensors may be used and averaged in some applications. Averaging requires a special series-parallel wiring method with a specific number of sensors. See Fig. 2. It is also important to note the humidity sensor cannot be remotely located, so do not locate the Infinity Control in an area where humidity sensing may not be accurate.
Wiring Considerations
Ordinary thermostat wire is recommended. Use 22 AWG or larger for normal wiring applications. Continuous wire lengths over 100 ft. should use 20 AWG or larger.
NOTE: ABCD bus wiring only requires a four-wire connection; however, it is good practice to run a thermostat cable having more than four wires in the event of a damaged or broken wire during installation.
Each communicating device in the Infinity System has a four-pin connector labeled ABCD. It is recommended that the following color code be used when wiring each device:
A — Green = Data A
B — Yellow = Data B
C — White = 24VAC (Com)
D — Red = 24VAC (Hot)
It is not mandatory that the above color code be used, but each ABCD connector in the system MUST be wired consistently.
Shielded Wire
If the thermostat wiring will be located near or in parallel with high voltage wiring, cable TV or Ethernet wiring, then shielded thermostat wire can be used to reduce or eliminate potential interference. The shield wire should be connected to the C terminal, or ground, at the indoor unit. The shield wire should NOT be connected to any terminal at the user interface. Connecting the shield to ground at both ends can cause current loops in the shield, reducing shield effectiveness.
Mounting Infinity Control
First become familiar with all plastic assembly pieces shown in Figures 3 through 10. The User Interface will snap together with the backplate.
A backplate is supplied (see Fig. 4 and 5). Attach backplate using only a small hole in the wall allowing a four wire connection to pass through. Mount the assembly to the backplate.
NOTE: Once Infinity Control is secured to wall with the backplate assembly (snapped together), care must be taken not to bend or break the interlocking tabs when removing.
Decorative Backplate
Sold separately, a thin decorative backplate (see Fig. 6 and 9) is available to hide any marks/screw holes left from the previous thermostat. This decorative backplate (or beauty ring) is used by snapping it onto the back of the mounting plate before securing the plate to the wall.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death or equipment damage.
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, the main electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position. There may be more than 1 disconnect switch. Lockout and tag switch with a suitable warning label.
- Turn off all power to equipment.
- If an existing User Interface or control is being replaced:
a. Remove existing control from wall.
b. Disconnect wires from existing control.
c. Discard or recycle old control.
NOTE: Mercury is a hazardous waste, if existing control contains any mercury, it MUST be disposed of properly. The User Interface does not contain mercury. - Select Infinity Control mounting plastic (recess mount or surface mount and decorative backplate if desired).
- Route wires through large hole in mounting plastic. Level rear plastic against wall (for aesthetic value only — Infinity Control need not be level to operate properly) and mark wall through two mounting holes.
- Drill two 3/16–in (4.8 mm) mounting holes in wall where marked.
- Secure mounting plastic to wall using two screws and anchors provided.
- Adjust length and routing of each wire to reach each wire entry on the connector backplate. Strip 1/4–in (6.4 mm) of insulation from each wire.
- Match and connect thermostat wires to proper terminals on User Interface backplate. See wiring diagram Fig. 11, 12, and 13.
A — Green = Data A
B — Yellow = Data B
C — White = 24VAC (Com)
D — Red = 24VAC (Hot)
NOTE: It is not mandatory that the above color code be used, but each ABCD connection in the system MUST be wired consistently. A separate ABCD Connector comes inside packaging and should be used when connecting to furnace (or fan coil). Ensure connector is inserted properly into circuit board. (See Fig. 14.)
CAUTION
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation.
Improper wiring of the ABCD connector will cause the Infinity System to operate improperly. Check to make sure all wiring is correct before proceeding with installation or turning on power.
9. Push any excess wire into the wall. Seal hole in wall to prevent any air leaks. Leaks can affect operation.
10. Attach Infinity Control to the mounting plastic by lining up the plastic guides on the back of the control with the opening on the mounting plastic and push on.
11. Perform installation of all other system equipment (i.e. dampers, humidifier, ventilator, UV lights, etc.).
12. Turn on power to equipment.
See wiring diagram, Fig. 11, which includes an indoor communicating furnace or FE fan coil, with a communicating outdoor unit. No additional OAT (outdoor air temperature) sensor is required because the Infinity Control will use the temperature sensor inside the outdoor unit.
See wiring diagram, Fig. 12, for connecting an indoor communicating furnace or FE fan coil with a 1–stage air conditioning unit (non–communicating outdoor). An Outdoor Air Temperature (OAT) sensor may be installed (but is not required) at the indoor furnace or fan coil OAT terminals. When OAT sensor is applied, the Infinity System will provide enhanced system features and benefits.
See wiring diagram, Fig. 13, for connecting an FE fan coil with a 1–stage heat pump (non–communicating outdoor unit). When OAT is applied, the Infinity System will provide enhanced system features and benefits.
In a hybrid heat installation with a non–communicating heat pump, an OAT sensor must be installed, or the heat pump with not run. NOTE: For other applications not listed, refer to the Network Interface Module (NIM) Installation Instructions.
Humidifier Connection
A 24VAC bypass or fan powered humidifier may be installed. NOTE: Do Not Use a traditional humidistat to control humidifier operation. If a humidifier is installed, let the Infinity Control operate humidifier.
Bypass Humidifiers
A bypass humidifier should be wired directly to the furnace or fan coil HUM and 24VAC COM terminals. The Infinity Control will automatically energize the HUM output during a call for humidification.
Fan Powered Humidifiers
Most fan-powered humidifiers produce internal 24VAC in order to energize upon a switch or contact closure. For this application, a 24VAC N.O. Isolation Relay (DPST) MUST be used to prevent mixing the internal humidifier power with the indoor equipment transformer. Applying 24VAC isolation relay coil to furnace or fan coil HUM and COM terminals will allow the Infinity Control to automatically energize the HUM output during a call for humidification. The N.O. relay contacts will be used to energize the humidifier. See fan-powered humidifier installation instructions for more details.
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage. Do not apply 24VAC fan-powered humidifier (with internal power supply) direct to indoor unit HUM and COM terminals.
INITIAL POWER-UP
NOTE: Refer to Functional Overview (see Fig. 15) to become familiar with key function buttons such as “System On/Off,” “Fan,” “Left–Side” and “Right– Side” buttons, etc. These function buttons will be used frequently during setup.
Power-Up Sequence
This section addresses initial power-up (or commissioning) of a new Infinity Control. The User Interface will communicate and identify all Infinity components in the system. The following is a typical example for a communicating Variable–Speed Furnace /Fan Coil with a 2–stage Air Conditioner / Heat Pump (including Hybrid Heat).
The User Interface display will light up and indicate that it is now “ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATIONS WITH EQUIPMENT PLEASE WAIT”. The User Interface will automatically continue by “SEARCHING FOR EQUIPMENT”, followed by “SEARCHING FOR OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT” (see Fig. 16). Once the indoor and outdoor equipment has been found, the Installer will be asked to select Accessories. Packaged Products will be automatically identified and the Installer will be asked to select Accessories. Proceed to Selecting Accessories.
NOTE: If the variable–speed indoor equipment (furnace or fan coil) cannot be found, the User Interface will display “CANNOT COMMUNICATE WITH INDOOR UNIT”. This MUST be corrected before the initial power-up sequence can continue. If indoor unit is found, but outdoor unit is not found, “OUTDOOR UNIT NOT IDENTIFIED” will appear. Proceed to the next section for Outdoor Unit Identification.
Selecting Outdoor Unit
If there is no communicating outdoor unit, the screen, shown in Fig. 17, will appear. Press either Left or Right Up/Down button to select AC (air conditioner), HP (heat pump), or None (no unit installed). Press right–side button to continue to next screen. If either AC or HP has been selected as the outdoor unit type, the middle screen will appear (see Fig. 17). Press either Left or Right Up/Down button to select appropriate BTU size of outdoor unit, then press right side button to continue. If a NIM (Network Interface Module) is applied for non–communicating two-stage outdoor equipment, select 1 or 2–stage compressor operation, and press right–side button to continue.
NOTE: Range of outdoor unit BTU selection is limited by model number of indoor unit installed. The Infinity Control will not allow an outdoor unit size that is not supported by the installed indoor unit.
NOTE: On new system installations, the model and serial number will be recognized and displayed. On any indoor/outdoor board replacements, the equipment will be recognized but the exact model/serial number will not be displayed.
Selecting Indoor Evaporator Coil
If a furnace is installed with a variable-capacity heat pump, a screen will appear to select the installed indoor evaporator coil. This selection is used to adequately calculate refrigerant charge required while in the Heat Pump Charging screens under the Heat Pump Checkout menu. Select “other” for non–Carrier evaporators.
Selecting Electric Heater
If the equipment is a fan coil, packaged heat pump, or packaged AC and the electric heater is not self–identifying, “ELECTRIC HEATER NOT IDENTIFIED” will appear (see Fig. 18). Press either Left or Right Up/Down button to select appropriate size of electric heater installed, then press right–side button to continue. An asterisks (*) will appear next to electric heater sizes that may cause excessive airflow.
NOTE: Range of electric heaters available is limited by model number of the equipment installed. The Infinity Control will not allow an electric heater size that is not supported by the installed equipment.
Hydronic Heat Applications
The Infinity Control supports 2 types of Hydronic Heat applications:
1. Hot water coil in combination with an FE fan coil and heat pump, or hot water coil as sole heat source with an FE fan coil.
2. Non–zoned FE fan coil combined with radiant hot water heat.
In either application, a Hydronic Heat kit should be installed in place of an electric heater. See FE fan coil Product Data for accessory part number. The system will identify that Hydonic Heat has been installed during the initial commissioning process. The system will treat the hot water coil as either auxiliary heat in a heat pump application, or the sole heat source. Setup options for Hydronic Heat applications are described in the Setup section of this instruction.
Selecting Accessories
Once the indoor and outdoor equipment have been found or entered, the following screens will appear allowing the Installer to select the “AIR FILTER TYPE; HUMIDIFIER INSTALLED”; and “UV LIGHTS INSTALLED” (See Fig. 19). Use either Left or Right Up/Down button to make appropriate selections in the highlighted area on the display screen. Press right–side button to continue (or advance) to the next screen.
Air Filter Type
This accessory screen will appear first. The installer will need to enter the type of filter (AIR FILTER, ELEC. AIR CLEANER, or PURIFIER). See Table 1 and make a selection using Left or Right Up/Down button, then press right–side button to continue.
Humidifier Installed
This will appear after the Air Filter Type screen. Select whether a humidifier is installed on the system, YES or NO, then press right–side button to continue.
UV Lights Installed
This screen will appear to select whether UV lights are installed on the system, select YES or NO, then press right–side button to continue.
Equipment Summary
The “EQUIPMENT SUMMARY” screen will appear after Accessories have been selected. This screen will give a summary of all equipment automatically found or manually selected. If a wrong selection was made, press left–side button (BACK selection) to go back to that particular screen and make changes. When everything is OK, press right–side button again to continue. (See Fig. 20.)
The “SETUP COMPLETE! SAVE ALL SELECTIONS?” screen will appear after Equipment Summary. To Save All Selections press (YES) right–side button. Pressing the left–side button (NO selection) will return to the Equipment Summary screen where changes can be performed to any of the equipment selection screens. After selecting YES, the initial power-up sequence of the new Infinity Control is complete.
Static Pressure Check
This screen will appear after Setup is exited. The system will perform a static pressure check. This process will take about 1 1/2 minutes to complete. When completed, a screen will appear displaying the static pressure (in inches) across the equipment at the expected highest delivered airflow. If the blower RPM is greater than 1200, then a warning will appear, but equipment operation and the TrueSenset dirty filter detection operation will not be affected.
NOTE: The static pressure check occurs only at initial installation, or when INSTALL is run in the INSTALL/SERVICE menu.

- QUIET– minimum cooling airflow that the system can safely run (typically 300 CFM/ton). Use this setting if duct noise is a severe problem. Note that duct sweating in high humidity environments could be an issue.
Dehum Airflow:
- NORMAL (factory default) — When equipment is running to dehumidify, the airflow is allowed to adjust to a minimum to satisfy the dehumidification call.
- HIGH — Minimum airflow during the dehumidify mode is increased to reduce duct and register sweating.
Low Heat Rise
- ON
- OFF (default)
Set to ON if the system contains a bypass humidifier. The ON setting will increase the furnace low heat airflow.
Staging
- SYSTEM (default)
- LOW
- LOW–MED
- LOW–HIGH
- MEDIUM
- MED–HIGH
- HIGH
- FURNACE
NOTE: Controls the staging of the furnace. More staging options will be available if furnace is capable of more stages. SYSTEM setting will allow the Infinity Control to determine furnace staging.
LOW will only run the low stage of furnace heat. LOW–MED will run the low and medium stages (2 stages of heat). MED will only run the medium stage of heat. MED–HIGH will run the medium and high stages (2 stages of heat). HIGH will only run the high stage of furnace heat.
G Terminal
This setup option selects desired operation when the R–G circuit changes state on the furnace control board depending on setup.
- DISABLED (Default)
- FAN — turns on fan to selected fan speed when G terminal is energized. See Fig. 26. This setting is used in conjunction with fresh air supply products (e.g. fresh air/make–up air dampers).
- FAN SPEED — select Low, Med, High for all zones when G terminal is energized
- SHUTDOWN — shuts off fan and equipment when initiated. This function is not intended for emergency fire shutdown. It may be activated by a dry contact from an external device such as a float switch or a relay. User Interface displays SYSTEM MALFUNCTION on screen and registers G terminal shutdown event in Last 10 System Events. See Fig. 27.
High Stage Timer
Minimum amount of time low stage must operate before high stage is activated. Ten to 60 minutes. 10 = default
A demand of 5_F(3_C) or more will override the staging timer.
Furnace Airflow (Capacity) Limiting
The following settings allow the installer to restrict the furnace within certain minimum and maximum airflows. These airflows are converted to capacities. The Min and Max limits are determined by the equipment size. These settings are not the same as the zoning airflow limits.
Min CFM (only appears with modulating furnaces)
Minimum CFM to run a modulating furnace. This will increase the minimum operating capacity of the furnace. Default value is the furnace air flow for the lowest heat capacity.
Maximum CFM (only appears with modulating furnaces)
Maximum CFM to run a modulating furnace. This will reduce the operating capacity of the furnace. Default value is the furnace air flow for the highest heat capacity.
Off Delay
- 90 seconds
- 120 seconds (default)
- 150 seconds
- 180 seconds
Amount of time the blower will continue to run after heating has shut off.
Dehum Drain

OPERATIONAL INFORMATION
Continuous Fan Operation
Pressing FAN button will scroll through the following:
- AUTO = No fan operation except during equipment operation.
- LOW = Approximately 50% of High Speed operation.
- MED = Half way between High and Low speed operation.
- HIGH = Highest of either High Heating or High Cooling CFM.
Continuous fan operation is programmable. The programming option must be enabled in the Thermostat Setup. See the Homeowner’s Manual for detailed instructions on programming the fan.
Five–Minute Compressor Timeguard
This timer prevents compressor from starting unless it has been off for at least 5 minutes. It can be defeated by simultaneously pressing the Fan and Right Up buttons. Emergency Heat (for heat pump applications)
To activate Emergency Heat, you must press and hold the HEAT button for 3 seconds to activate. Repeat to deactivate.
Heat Source Selection (Hybrid or Hydronic Heat)
If user wishes to override normal operation in Hybrid Heat or Hydronic Heat applications, press and hold the heat button for 3 seconds to select desired heat source.
Keypad Lockout
Keypad can be locked by pressing “Fan” and “Humidity/Oat” buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. When keys are locked, a lock symbol will appear in the upper left corner of screen. Follow same procedure to unlock keypad.
Heat and Cool LED
The Heat and Cool LEDs will pulsate during actual equipment operation. This can be defeated in the Advanced Setup Screens.
Equipment Cycle Timer (adjustable 4–6 cycles per hour)
This timer prevents the start of a heating or cooling cycle until 15 (or 10) minutes after the last start of the same cycle. Its function is to assure that the equipment is not cycled more than the selected times per hour. This timer is adjustable from 4 to 6 cycles per hour. This timer is defeated for one cycle when the desired temperature is manually changed. It can also be defeated for one cycle by simultaneously pressing the Fan and Right Up buttons.
Staging Timer
In multistage heating or cooling, this timer prevents any higher stage from turning on until the preceding stage has been on for 10 minutes.
For furnace heating, the high stage timer is adjustable to force longer minimum low stage run time. See Furnace Setup for details.
A demand of 5_ or more will override the staging timer and allow higher stages to energize.
In Hybrid Heat, the staging timer is 15 minutes between heat pump and gas furnace operation. This timer is adjustable in the Hybrid Heat Setup menu to force longer minimum heat pump run time and longer low-stage furnace run time. A demand of 5_F or more will override the staging timer and allow higher stages to energize.
Three–Minute Minimum On-Time
In normal operation, when a stage turns on, it will remain on for a minimum of three minutes. If the setpoint is changed, this timer is automatically cancelled, allowing the equipment to turn off immediately when the demand is removed.
Heat/Cool setpoints (Desired Temperatures)
A minimum difference of 2_ (default) is enforced between heating and cooling desired temperatures. This is done by allowing one setting to “push” the other to maintain this difference. This difference is adjustable via the Install/Service menu under Thermostat Setup.
Temperature Display
The actual temperature displayed is always rounded toward the setpoint. This is because the system is operating and measuring the temperature in sixteenths of a degree, but displaying in whole numbers. The system may be turned off and on within .5_ of setpoint, but the display may not change. This is by design and does not indicate a problem with the control.
Auto Changeover
When Auto mode is enabled (factory default) a change from heat to cool (or vice versa) will not occur until an opposite mode demand has existed for 30 minutes. If the setpoint is changed, the 30–minute requirement is defeated. This Auto Changeover time is adjustable via the Install/Service menu under Thermostat Setup.
Range = 5 — 120 min.
Smart Recovery
With Smart Recovery selected (factory default), transition out of setback begins 1.5 hours before selected recovery time and gradually adjusts room temperature so desired temperature will be achieved at selected recovery time. It operates in both heating and cooling. This only applies to programmable operations.
For example: Set back temperature in heating is 64_F. Smart Recovery setpoint is 70_F at 7:00 a.m. At 5:30 a.m., the control calculates the required temperature recovery rate (recovery temp — set back temp or current temp if greater) / 90 minutes. If the current temp at 5:30 = 66_F, the recovery rate = (70 — 66)_F/90 minutes = 0.04_ per minute. In order to achieve setpoint, the control ramps up the setpoint 0.04_F / minute from 5:30 a.m. until 7:00 a.m. This changing setpoint is displayed while it is occurring.
NOTE: Temperatures should not be set back so far that the equipment cannot recover in 90 minutes.
Air Filter
If AIR FILTER or AIR PURIFIER is installed in the indoor unit, the system will perform a static pressure check of the system every 24 hours at 1:00 p.m. to monitor filter accumulation (TrueSenset Dirty Filter Detection) or whenever power is applied to the system or the system is transitioned from Off to Cool or Heat modes. The blower will run at a medium airflow for one minute. This system operates by setting a base line static pressure based on the highest airflow the system could run (this could be heat or cool airflow). The measurement is taken at a low airflow and then calculated up to the highest airflow the system could see.
Frozen Coil Detection
During cooling operation, the User Interface will monitor the static pressure of the system. If the static pressure is increasing dramatically, the User Interface will turn off cooling for up to one hour, record fault in the “Last 10 Events” screen, and run the fan at a reduced airflow. The User Interface will continue to monitor the static pressure. If it is reduced before one hour has elapsed, it will resume cooling operation. After one hour, cooling will be resumed.
Dehumidify Operation
Once a target cooling humidity setpoint is selected in the Advanced Setup COOLING HUMIDITY screen, two other setup options affect Dehumidify operation: COOLING AIRFLOW and DEHUMIDIFY.
COOLING AIRFLOW: Setting this to COMFORT or QUIET will enable the system to use low airflow to help dehumidify the space. If duct sweating becomes an issue, setting DEHUM AIRFLOW to HIGH may resolve the problem. DEHUMIDIFY: Located in the Cooling Humidity screen of the Advanced Setup, this option has 2 settings: ON and OFF. If DEHUMIDIFY is set to ON (factory default), then the cooling unit will be allowed to overcome the space up to 3_F (2_C) if the humidity level is above the cooling humidity target setpoint. The amount of overcooling allowed varies with the dehumidification demand, the cooling demand, and the actual space temperature. More overcooling is allowed with greater dehumidification demand.
When the space temperature is at or above 75_F (24_C) and the dehumidify demand is high, overcooling up to 3_F (2_C) is allowed. As the space temperature approaches 70_F (21_C), less overcooling is allowed. At 70_F (21_C) space temperature, no more overcooling is allowed no matter how great the dehumidify demand. This is done to protect the equipment. If DEHUMIDIFY is set to OFF and Cooling Airflow is set to COMFORT, normal dehumidification mode is enabled. For normal dehumidification, no overcooling is allowed when the cooling humidity is above the target setpoint, but airflow will be reduced during a normal cooling mode to reduce humidity. The airflow depends on the amount of dehumidifying demand. If Cooling Airflow is set to EFFICIENCY or MAXIMUM, only Dehumidify (overcooling to dehumidify) will be performed.
Hybrid Heat Setup / Operation
Furnace Lockout — (in HYBRID HEAT SETUP menu) is the outside temperature above which the furnace will not run except for defrost (otherwise known as the aux heat lockout).
Heat Pump Lockout — (in HYBRID HEAT SETUP) is the outside temperature below which the heat pump will not run (otherwise known as the balance point).
These values can be set identical to each other. If they are not identical, the system will stage up and down normally from heat pump to furnace when the outside temperature is between these settings. The User Interface will not allow the heat pump lockout setting to be above the furnace lockout setting.
The factory default settings for both of these is NONE (no lockouts). Even though a heat pump lockout temperature may be set, the system will still use the furnace in defrost operation, and may stage back down to heat pump when defrost is completed after a2minutedelay.
Hybrid Heat Defrost — (in HYBRID HEAT SETUP) When the outdoor unit needs a defrost cycle, the furnace will run during defrost regardless of lockout temperature, unless told not to in the Hybrid Heat Setup screen. After defrost, the system may stage down to heat pump after a 2-minute delay.
If the room temperature falls below 40_F (4_C) and a furnace lockout is in enabled, the furnace lockout will be overridden to bring on the furnace.

Service Tool Mode
The –V model of user interface software version 21 can be used as a service tool on any Infinity system. Attach the –V model user interface anywhere on the ABCD wiring (e.g. at the indoor or outdoor unit). When the user interface powers up, it will ask the user if they wish to enter service mode. Selecting “Yes” will allow the –V model user interface to take over as the system controller, putting the regular system user interface to sleep. The screen on the regular user interface will display “IN SERVICE MODE”. The –V model user interface will then learn all equipment and function as the system controller. While in service mode, the –V model user interface will not transfer any settings or information to or from the regular user interface—-it only takes over control of the system. After removing the –V model user interface from the ABCD wiring, the regular user interface will take over the system after two minutes.
