Q What does SWING mean in the manual?

A Swing is the temperature difference between where a system comes on and then goes off. EXAMPLE: The thermostat is set at HEAT, a target temperature set at 70F, and the swing number set at 3 (+/-1F). The heat would typically come on at 69 and go off at 71. Most Ritetemp thermostats have the ability to set the swing.
