Using Return Instead Of Space

Using Return Instead Of Space indicator

York · Smart Equipment Control

What does Using Return Instead Of Space mean?

This is not an alarm, but an indicator that the system is currently using the return air sensor for temperature readings because it cannot recognize a space indoor temperature sensor.

Common Causes

  • The space indoor temperature sensor is not connected or is faulty
  • The SEC board is set to 'T-Stat Only' mode and only a return air sensor is present

Repair Steps & Checklist

  1. 1

  3. 3

    If a space sensor should be active, troubleshoot its connection and function.

  4. 4

    If the indicator is displayed when it shouldn't be, consult the advanced settings or support for the SEC board configuration.
