Swing

Sets the temperature spread between the heat or cool on and off temperatures.
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. Below is a swing chart. The lower number gives a higher comfort level as the room temperature is more constant and the HVAC system will cycle more often. The higher number is more efficient and the HVAC system will cycle less often.
1= .33F 2= .67F 3=1F 4=1.33F 5=1.67F 6=2F
