Does TX9100U have a feature to prevent short cycling? Say AC just turned off and I lower temp more, will thermostat wait 5 min before turning AC on?

Yes, it's adjustable between 5 and 2 minutes with 5 minutes as the default.

I believe so. I just hooked mine up a few days ago. You can go online and download the manual. It does say something about a delay

Good question, I'm not quite sure but the company does have a free customer support hotline at 856-234-8803, I think you can try that. I have it on auto-pilot and haven't had to experience the situation you reference with A/C going off and me lowering temp more. But it's a great unit, highly recommend it!

I don't have the 9100U; for some reason Amazon keeps asking me about thermostats I don't have. Nevertheless, most any thermostat these days has something to prevent short cycling (a delay of 5 mins or so after the unit has turned off before it can be restarted by changing a thermostat setting).

only for a/c. located under the cover. it is suggested 5 min delay stays on. Say your a/c has just shut off and you come in and adjust the thermostat, it waits 5 mins to readjust as the motor is hot from just running. It saves your motor. Needs 5 mins to readjust.

Hi. We have gone through two of these in a short time. The thermostat malfunctions rendering them useless. Seller does not credit when you return it. We found another brand that is betterhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002Q8HDKO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The thermostat retains the last settings if that is your question. If power is out, your HVAC is out of commission anyway :-)

Yes, if you hit the sensor button on the remote, the AC will use that sensor's temp to determine when to cut on and off.

Great question. I just went in and interuppted the power by tripping the breaker. After 3 minutes I restored the power and the Air conditioner started right back up with no input from me at the correct temp!

Temperature differential can be set from 0.5 to 3.0 degrees in increments of 0.5 degrees. There is also a cycle time that can be set from 0 too 5 minutes in 1 minute increments. After the thermostat temperature is satisfied, the cycle time is the delay that the thermostat will require before another heat call can be made--helps prevent short cycling.

NO -- not automatically anyway -- I would recommend a timer switch, that you can turn on for 10 to 30 minutes. If the dehumidistat switch is already installed you could add the timer switch in addition to it...

I had the same problem and was told by their customer service that a bad batch of thermostats was installed in some units. They are sending me a new thermostat, which i guess i will install myself. I also have had two issues now with the on/off switch not working properly. I am sorry I bought this unit.

Hello,Yes, sometimes it is the case and I know it is normal. But not when you transfer the unit from room to room or turn it on in the morning and it just won't turn on. Last time it took more than 20 min for the unit to come on and it was freezing! Something is definitely not right with the thermostat here.

I would say turn it to the off button for awhile and then try it again. There is no thermostat, so it might be it's way of saying turn me off for awhile I'm too hot.

I have mine set to "auto" so I assume it turns off when the thermostat reaches a certain level & vice versa but will monitor it more closely now that the questions has been asked.

Hello Julia... it is. This is a power saving feature. The AC gears up until it reaches your desired temperature and it gears down to save energy. After the cool down it gears up again to regain the temperature. Greetings.

I returned mine. Could not get the thermostatd to trigger the unit back on when dropping below temperature. Tried 2 different units and had the same issue.

Is the compressor running or just the fan/coil unit after the temperature is reached? Does it cut off after a couple of minutes? If it just keeps running, it sounds like it might have been wired incorrectly, assuming the "Fan" switch isn't in the "On" position (if it is, switch it to the "Auto" position). If it just continues to run for a couple of minutes, I think the thermostat is likely programmed to do that as a (mildly misguided) effort at efficiency by taking advantage of the low refrigerant temperature that lingers a bit after the compressor has shut off. I actually don't have this model (and am not sure why Amazon thinks I do), and I am going from the behavior of the model TX5000Ua that I do have.

That is normal. The thermostat turns it off when it reaches temp. There is also a high temp switch for saftey.

The answer lies in another question. Is your furnace turning on and off a the appropriate times? If it is then the thermostat is doing what it is designed to do, control room temperature. The one you have chosen is very sensitive, plus or minus one degree. It is possible that the thermostat does not see any major changes in temperatures, since the wall the thermostat is mounted on, is a thermal mass that can buffer the actual air temperature variations in the room. Try placing a good thermometer next to the thermostat and see if there is a difference in what they are reading.
