Abstract
An electronic thermostat having a short circuit protection feature has a controller which sends control signals to circuitry used for activating and deactivating a system for conditioning air. Short circuit protection circuitry monitors the circuitry within the thermostat and indicates to the controller when a short circuit has occurred. When a short circuit is detected, the controller sets its control signal to deactivate the system for conditioning air for a predetermined period of time.
