Warnings in this document are identifi ed by a warning triangle
printed against a grey background.
Keywords at the start of a warning indicate the type and seriousness
of the ensuing risk if measures to prevent the risk are not taken.
The following keywords are defi ned and can be used in this document:
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in minor to moderate injury.
NOTICE is used to address practices not related to personal injury.
1.2 Safety
Please read before proceeding
WARNING:
Always turn off power at the main power supply before
installing, cleaning, or removing thermostat.
Read this manual carefully before installing or operating your new
thermostat. Make sure to save this manual for future reference.
WARNING:
This thermostat is for 24 VAC applications only; do not use on
voltages over 30 VAC.
Do not short across terminals of gas valve or system control
to test operation; this will damage your thermostat and void
your warranty.
Important information
This symbol indicates important information where
there is no risk to people or property.
All wiring must conform to local and national electrical and
building codes.
WARNING:
Do not use air conditioning when the outdoor temperature
is below 50 degrees; this can damage your A/C system and
cause personal injuries.
WARNING:
Use this thermostat only as described in this manual.
WARNING: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Turn off the device and pull the plug before cleaning. Failure
to do so can cause electrical shock.
Do not clean the air conditioner with excessive amounts of
water.
Data subject to change
Do not clean the air conditioner with combustible cleaning
agents. Combustible cleaning agents can cause fire or
deformation.
Turn off power at the main service panel by removing the fuse
or switching the appropriate circuit breaker to OFF position
before removing the existing thermostat.
1. Turn off power to heating and cooling system by removing the fuse or switching
the appropriate circuit breaker off .
2. Remove cover of old thermostat; this should expose the wires.
3. Label the existing wires with the enclosed wire labels before removing wires.
4. After labeling wires, remove wires from wire terminals.
5. Remove existing thermostat base from wall.
6. Refer to the following section for instructions on how to install this thermostat.
3.2 Battery installation and information
Two “AA” alkaline batteries are used for backup power only. They are installed into the
back of the thermostat. Orient them in the correct direction as shown on the plastic
thermostat case.
The batteries should be changed yearly to prevent leakage from damaging the
thermostat and voiding your warranty.
If the batteries are not changed or low and the thermostat is not connected to 24
VAC or loses 24 VAC power, the thermostat will eventually display and conserve
energy by maintaining a lower setpoint in heating and a higher setpoint in cooling.
3.3 Installing thermostat
DANGER: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Turn off power at the main service panel by removing the fuse
or switching the appropriate circuit breaker to OFF position
before removing the existing thermostat.
CAUTION:
Thermostat installation must conform to local and national
building and electrical codes and ordinances.
Mount the thermostat about fi ve feet above the fl oor. Do not mount the
thermostat on an outside wall, in direct sunlight, behind a door, or in an
area aff ected by a vent or duct.
1. Turn off power to heating & cooling system by removing the fuse or switching
the appropriate circuit breaker off .
2. To remove sub base, pull it from the thermostat.
3. Put thermostat sub base against the wall where you plan to mount it (be sure
wires will feed through the wire opening in the sub base of the thermostat).
4. Mark the placement of the mounting holes.
5. Set thermostat sub base and thermostat away from working area.
6. Using a 3/16” drill bit, drill holes in the places you have marked for mounting.
Data subject to change
7. Use a hammer to tap supplied anchors in mounting holes.
8. Insert stripped, labeled wires in matching wire terminals. Tighten screws to
secure wires.
CAUTION:
Be sure exposed portion of wires does not touch other wires.
9. Gently tug wire to be sure of proper connection. Double check that each wire
is connected to the proper terminal.
10. Install 2 “AA” batteries into back of thermostat.
11. Snap thermostat onto the sub base.
12. Turn on power to the system at the main service panel.
13. Confi gure thermostat to match the type of system you have.
14. Test thermostat operation as described in “Testing the Thermostat”.
The UPM’s ALARM COM terminal should be connected to R on the UPM board
(refer to unit manual for more information), and the ALARM OUT terminal should
be connected to the A terminal on the thermostat. The UPM must be confi gured as
described in Section 5.2.
5.2 Confi guration of the UPM
The ALARM DIP switch on the UPM has to be set to the ON position (“PULSE”).
Simply push the right side of this switch, so it is down on the right side and up on the
left side.

The thermostat is confi gurable for all systems. The confi guration directly aff ects the
outputs. Use the output chart to correctly confi gure and wire the thermostat to your
system.
5.4 Confi guration and thermostat lock
During Confi guration Mode, certain settings are protected by a numeric code access
screen to prevent unintentional changes that could potentially damage the system or
create a dangerous condition.
Whenever changes are attempted to one of the critical settings, the unlock code
screen will appear:
The unlock code for these critical settings can be found during the power-up
sequence.
The large number (indicated by “98” in the diagram) is the code that will unlock
the desired confi guration setting. The smaller numbers (indicated by “93” and
“82” in the diagram) are codes used to lock and unlock your thermostat to prevent
tampering.
To view the default codes for your thermostat, remove the thermostat from the
sub base and, if using batteries, remove one battery for 10 seconds. Replacing the
batteries or reinstalling thermostat will cause the codes to display for approximately
5 seconds.
