ISSUE: Thermostat seems to be sending fan and cool on AC request and is overiding the furnace board settings of cool delay.

EQUIP: Furnace board - Honeywell ST9120B,U; Thermostat - Honeywell RTH8500

ASK: Can I configure this to have the board control the fan and not the thermostat without removing the G wire.

DETAILS:
I recently had my furnace board replaced and have an issue with the COOL ON DELAY. Before this new board there was a 30 second delay. The new board supports this and I have set the DIP settings to 30 seconds, however the fan now comes on instantly when it calls for cool.

If I remove the G wire the process works fine (so it appears that the thermostat is sending for the fan on AC). I am not sure why this worked on the old board, but I don't want to leave the G off as I like to run the fan all the time.

Thanks!

Have your AC contractor configure your thermostat to have the system controlled as you would like.

Why is the delay important if you run the fan all the time? also running your fan all the time in a humid climate is terrible for latent control.
