USER MANUAL

The Braeburn 5970 Thermostat Guard is a universal thermostat guard
that covers and protects wall thermostats against damage, tampering
and unauthorized adjustment of thermostat settings. The 5970
thermostat guard includes a clear plastic guard cover and ring base,
opaque plastic wallplate, wallplate template, screws, anchors and
tumbler lock with two keys. This thermostat guard is ideal for offices,
lobbies, hospitals, schools, supermarkets, restaurants, convenience
stores and other public areas to prevent unauthorized personnel from
adjusting the temperature. This thermostat guard can be used in new
and existing thermostat applications.

• The Braeburn® 5970 Thermostat Guard can be used in virtually all new or existing
thermostat applications. The enclosed template provides mounting locations for a wide
range of commercial thermostat models.

• With most existing thermostat applications, the thermostat guard can be installed
without removing the thermostat from the wall. In existing applications, only the cover
and ring base will be used, NOT the wallplate. For some existing installations the
thermostat may need to be removed from the subbase to install ring base.

• In new thermostat applications, the thermostat guard can be used with or without
the wallplate. The wallplate is usually used to cover scratches or marks from the old
thermostat installation.

1.1 Installing Thermostat Guard with Existing Thermostat

1. Place the ring base over the existing thermostat on the wall with curved edge of the ring base facing down.

NOTE: Some thermostats will need to be removed from the subbase before installing the ring base.

2. Align the ring base with the existing thermostat and level.

3. Mount the ring base on the wall using the four provided anchors and screws.

4. Mount the thermostat guard cover by placing the hinged edge of the thermostat guard cover over the top edge of the

ring base and lowering the cover to the ring base. NOTE: The key must be in the UNLOCKED position.

5. Lock the thermostat guard by turning the provided key counterclockwise. The key can ONLY be removed when it is in
the LOCKED position.
