Choosing Location for the New Thermostat

Thermostat should be mounted:

• Approximately 5 ft (1.5m) from oor.

• Near or in a frequently used room, preferably on an inside partitioning wall.

• On a section of wall without pipes or duct-work.

Thermostat should NOT be mounted:

• Near a window, on an outside wall, or next to a door leading outside.

• With exposure to direct light or heat from a lamp, sun, replace, or other temperature-radiating objects which
may cause false readings.

• Near or in direct airow from supply registers and return-air grills.

• Near concealed pipes and chimneys.

• In areas with poor air circulation, such as behind a door or in an alcove.

After choosing a location for the new thermostat, you must arrange to have a heating contractor install the control
wiring for you.

Tools required for installation:

• Flathead screwdriver

• Masking tape

• Wire stripper/cutter

• Power drill with a 3/16" bit

• Level

• 2 x AA batteries (sold separately)

Replacing Old Thermostat

Prior to replacing an old thermostat please test the system to make sure your heating and air conditioning systems
are in working order. If there is any concern please consult a specialist.

WARNING: Many old thermostats contain MERCURY and should be removed with caution and disposed of as a
HAZARDOUS WASTE. Consult your local authorities or Fire Department.

Note: Do not operate the cooling system when outside temperature is below 10ºC (50ºF) to avoid damaging the
compressor.

• Test the system to make sure that your heating and cooling are working properly before installation. If either
does not work, contact your local heating/air-conditioning dealer to x the problem before installation.

• TURN OFF POWER to system at the furnace, or at the fuse/circuit breaker panel.

• Carefully unpack your new thermostat and mounting place; save packaging of screws, instructions and receipt.

Installation

TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK OR DEATH, SHUT OFF POWER

SUPPLY AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST

THAT THE POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING.

Installation

Wiring

NOTE: Please note the wire colours and terminal letters they are attached to on the old thermostat.

WIRING COLOURS ARE NOT ALWAYS STANDARDIZED, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO LABEL ALL
WIRES ACCORDING TO THE LETTER DESIGNATION ON YOUR OLD THERMOSTAT.
(The wires are usually designated ‘W’, ‘Y’, ‘G’, ‘RH’, ‘RC’, ‘B’, ‘O’ or humidistat wires)

• Disconnect wires from old thermostat or sub-base.

• As you disconnect each wire, use masking tape to label it with the old terminal designation.

• Take care not to let the wires fall back into the wall or let the ends of the wires touch one another.

• If there is an extra wire that is not connected to your old thermostat, then you won’t need to connect it to
the new thermostat.

Humidifier Wiring

• To wire a humidifier, the 2 wires connecting the original humidistat need to be connected to the 2 terminals marked
'H1' and 'H2' on the thermostat.

• The original humidistat should be removed or set to 'OFF' position.

• The 2 humidifier control terminals 'H1' and 'H2' are electrically isolated from the Heat / Cool terminals.

• 'H1' and 'H2' terminals are non-polarized, and there is no function difference between 'H1' and 'H2'.
