There is a delay up to 2 minutes before the system activates in Auto mode. Have you waited that 2 minutes? Doug
PS, notice the front of the tstat states built in time delay:B
From your operation manual.
All cooling functions controlling to setpoint have a short
cycle protection time delay of 3 minutes. There will be no
delay if the cycle OFF time exceeds 3 minutes.
Yes I saw that. However, my understanding of the time delay is that is between compressor cycles to allow pressures to equalize so as to reduce hard starts when the compressor comes back on. I don't believe the time delay referenced on the front of the thermostat housing is in reference to time to start after switching on.
That said, no, I don't believe I have ever waited a full 2 minutes. I will give that a try as soon as (if ever) my local yamaha dealership decides to warranty my parallel cable.
Yes, the delay is also for the Compressor. But, trust me. I WORK on RV's for a living and I do not wait when I enter a HOT RV. I bypass Auto and go straight to HI Cool. The fan starts, but I know the compressor will still take up to 2 minutes. Doug
Doug, I'm not calling you out but that also sounds incorrect. My compressor kicks on within 5 seconds when I put it in high cool. The reason I say this is because that's how long it takes to overload the generator. There is no way that the fan alone would do that. The compressor is involved.
The Timing is NOT every time you start. It can start in a few seconds or up to 2 minutes. It depends on when the last start was. next time it starts in 5 seconds, shut it OFF and then restart. It will take 2 minutes for the compressor to start. Doug
