Default Profgrammable thermostat terminology

Different sources define "setpoint" differently so I'll ask he

Is the HEAT setpoint the temperature the furnace turns on, turns off or the desired room temperature?

Is the COOL setpoint the temperature the A/C turns on, turns off or the desired room temperature?




What does "DEADBAND" mean?

Set Point is the temperature you have set your thermostat to maintain.
Thus, it means your desired room temp.

Dead Band Capability. The dead band control consists of a 5° - 10°
"band" on the thermostat. It eliminates the possibility of simultaneous
heating and cooling. When temperatures fall within the 5° - 10° zone on
the band, say 68° - 73°, neither heating nor cooling can occur.
