[EnergyPlus] ZoneHVAC:PTAC never turns off (in deadband)

Right now, I am using ZoneHVAC:PTAC with ThermostatSetpoint:DualHeatingandCooling.
The heating is set to 20C and cooling is set to 24C.

However, the heater/cooler just turns on even when the thermostat temperature states "30C" or "18C", respectively (the temperature where they are not supposed to turn on). I have attached the image files about my PTAC and Thermostate settings. Please take a look :(
