WARNING!

Important Safety Information

• Always turn off power to the air conditioning or heating system prior to installing, removing, cleaning or servicing thermostat.

• Read manual thoroughly prior to installing, programming or operating thermostat.

• This thermostat is designed for use with a 24 Volt-AC low voltage multi-stage heat / cool system.

• Do not use this thermostat on systems with voltages higher than 30 Volt-AC.

• This thermostat requires 24 Volt AC power for normal operation and control of the heating or cooling system.

• Wiring must conform to all building codes and ordinances as required by local and national code authorities having jurisdiction.

• Do not short (or jumper) across terminals on the gas valve or at the heating or cooling system control board to test the thermostat installation. This could damage the thermostat and void the warranty.

• Do not select COOL mode of operation if the outside temperature is below 50˚ F (10˚ C). This could possibly damage the controlled cooling system and may cause personal injury.

• This thermostat should only be used as described in this manual. Any other use is not recommended and will void the warranty.

Replacing Existing Thermostat

Always turn off power to the air conditioning or heating system prior to removing

existing thermostat.

Remove the cover of your old thermostat and locate the wire terminals. Do not

remove wires from terminals yet.

Using small pieces of masking tape label wires prior to removal from terminals. Use

the chart below to determine the new terminal designations for your new thermostat.

After labeling and removing all wires from terminals, unscrew the existing thermostat sub-base from wall. Make sure to secure wires to prevent them from slipping back into the hole in the wall.

Installing Your New Thermostat

NOTE: If you are installing this thermostat in a new installation be sure to locate

the thermostat 4 to 5 feet above the ﬂoor in accordance with applicable building codes. Make sure to install the thermostat in a location that provides good airﬂow characteristics and avoid areas behind doors, near corners, air vents, direct sunlight or near any heat generating device. Installation in any of these areas could impact thermostat performance.

Always turn off power to the air conditioning or heating system prior to

installing thermostat.

Place system switch on front of thermostat to OFF position.

Place fan control switch on front of thermostat to AUTO position.

Remove front of thermostat from sub-base by pressing release latch on bottom

of thermostat.

Place the thermostat sub-base against wall in the desired thermostat location.

Guide thermostat wires through center hole in sub-base. Continue to hold

against wall.

Mark placement of mounting holes and drill using a 3/16" drill bit. Gently tap supplied

plastic anchors into the holes in the wall.

Place the sub-base against the wall in the desired location, making sure the mounting holes are aligned and the thermostat wires are properly inserting through opening in sub-base.

NOTE: This thermostat is for use on low voltage 24 Volt AC multi-stage heat / cool

systems with up to two stages of heating and two stages of cooling and requires a transformer common wire for proper installation. This thermostat is not for use on single stage heating or cooling systems.

TESTING YOUR NEW THERMOSTAT

NOTE: Test your thermostat prior to programming any user settings. Pressing the

RESET button will erase any user entries previously programmed. This will erase all user settings and return them to their default values.

WARNING!

Read BEFORE Testing

1. Place the system switch in the HEAT position.

2. Press the button on the keypad until the setpoint temperature setting is a minimum of 3 degrees

higher than the current room temperature. The heating system should start within several seconds. The fan may not turn on immediately due to the heating system built-in fan delay.

3. Place the system switch in the OFF position. The heating system should stop within several seconds.

4. Place the system switch in the COOL position.

5. Press the button on the keypad until the setpoint temperature is a minimum of 3 degrees lower

than the current room temperature.

6. The cooling system should start within several seconds. Place the system switch in the OFF position. The cooling system should stop within 90 seconds (dependent on the setting of the Residual Cooling Fan Feature).

7. Place the fan switch in the ON position. The system blower should start.

8. Place the fan switch in the AUTO position. The system blower should stop.

• Do not select COOL mode of operation if the outside temperature is below 50˚ F (10˚ C). This could possibly damage the controlled cooling system and may cause personal injury.

• This thermostat includes an automatic compressor protection feature to avoid potential damage to the system from short cycling. This thermostat automatically provides a 5-minute delay after turning off the cooling system output to protect the compressor.

9. Fasten the sub-base to wall using supplied screws.

10. Connect wires to quick wiring terminal block as appropriate using the new terminal

designations. Refer to Wiring Diagram section of this manual if required for assistance.

11. Make sure all of the wire connections are secure and are not touching any other terminal to prevent electrical shorts and potential damage to the thermostat.

12. Turn the front thermostat body over exposing the rear view of the circuit board.

13. Locate the internal ˚F / ˚C switch on the circuit board.

14. Using your ﬁnger, gently ﬂip the switch toward the preferred temperature ˚F / ˚C scale.

15. Locate the internal fan option switch, HG (Gas) / HE (Elec) on the circuit board. This

switch controls the heating system fan delay. Select gas for gas or oil ﬁred systems. This will allow the furnace to run for a few seconds before initiating the fan. Select electric for systems with electric furnace elements that require the fan to come on immediately.

16. Using your ﬁnger, gently ﬂip the switch towards the HG (gas) or HE (Elec) selection which indicates the low voltage heating system the thermostat will control.

17. Attach front body of thermostat to sub-base of thermostat being careful to align the terminal pins on the front body with the terminal block on the sub-base.

18. Restore system power so you can test installation.
