General Description

This thermostat enables intelligent HVAC control as part of a Control4
automated system. It uses the ZigBee (802.15.4) wireless networking
standard to communicate with the Control4 system.

The Control4 Thermostat features a backlit LCD display showing time,
temperature, date, fan status, hold status, and HVAC operating mode. The
front panel allows for temperature setpoint adjustment, HVAC mode change,
variable hold options and fan control. It can also operate as a stand-alone
set-point thermometer if it loses communication with the system.

What is in the Box Requirements

Specifications

Front and Rear View

The specifications are described as follows.

NOTE: The Wireless Thermostat requires power from the HVAC
system to maintain regular communication with the controller. The
battery is intended to provide supplemental or backup power only.

Installation

1 Place the thermostat in a good location to ensure its efficiency and

avoid unnecessary cycling of the furnace or air conditioner.

• Make sure the thermostat gets good ZigBee wireless reception by

(1) ensuring that the thermostat is within 150 feet of another Zigbee
device and (2) avoiding electrical equipment that may cause
interference with the Zigbee signal (such as cordless telephones
that operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency).

• Place thermostats and external thermostat sensors away from direct

sunlight, drafts, doorways, skylights, windows, and exterior walls.

2 Locate and turn OFF the power supply for the HVAC system.
3 If replacing an existing thermostat, check the number and type of

wires attached to your old unit. If installing a thermostat for the first
time, see “Sample Wiring Configurations” on page 2 for details on
wiring the thermostat.

4 When you are sure the power has been shut off, remove the old

thermostat’s cover from its rear plate, but do not disconnect any wires
yet.

5 Unscrew and remove the old thermostat's rear plate from the wall;

If the old thermostat has a letter identifying each wire, use a piece of
tape to label each wire that corresponds to the letter on the old
thermostat.

TIP: You can wrap the wires around a pencil or tape them to keep
them from falling back into the wall.

6 Disconnect the old thermostat.

CAUTION! Discard the old thermostat properly or recycle it. Mercury

is a hazardous waste. You MUST dispose of it properly.

7 Detach the rear plate from the Control4 Wireless Thermostat. (Press

the release clip at the bottom of the thermostat to release it.)

8 Thread the existing wires

from the wall through the
large rectangular opening in
the new rear plate (Figure 1),
then position the new rear
plate against the wall to
make sure it sits flush.

9 Use a small level or visually

check that the rear plate is level,
then mark the locations of the
three screw holes on the wall
(Figure 2).

10 Remove the rear plate from the

wall and drill 3/16-inch-mounting
holes at the three screw hole
locations you marked previously.

11 Press the plastic wall anchors

that were included in the product
into the holes you drilled in Step 10.

12 Re-thread the wires from the wall through the rear plate of the new

thermostat to place the rear plate against the wall (Figure 1).

13 Insert the mounting screws into the wall anchors and tighten them.
14 Connect the wires to the screw terminals in the rear plate, matching

the labeled wires (Step 5) to the letters on the terminals. The wiring
can differ depending upon the wires available, (see “Sample Wiring
Configurations” on page 2).

IMPORTANT! Some thermostats use a common wire to provide
dedicated power to the thermostat. The Control4 thermostat does not
support use of a common wire. Do not connect the common wire to
the thermostat or it will cause your HVAC system to malfunction.

15 On the thermostat faceplate, set the slide switches that sit next to the

battery compartment to match your system:.

16 Install the CR123A (3V) battery (included with the product) in the

Control4 thermostat faceplate according to the polarity labels, POS (+)
and NEG (-), on the thermostat circuit board.

IMPORTANT! Do not install the battery in the wrong polarity.

IMPORTANT! If the battery was in place and you changed slide

switch settings, remove the battery and reinstall it. This forces the
thermostat to reboot with the new configuration.

17 Install the faceplate to the thermostat rear plate. To do this:

18 Turn ON power supply for the HVAC system.
19 Test the thermostat in both the auto and manual modes to confirm that

the furnace and air conditioner cycle on and off at the appropriate
settings. See the Control4 Wireless Thermostat User Guide for
specific instructions.

Programming Instructions

As part of a Control4 system, the thermostat can follow a schedule with up to
six different set points per day. You can also control the thermostat using the
Wireless Touch Screen, the On-Screen Navigator (on your TV with the
System Remote Control), the Mini Touch Screen, or the LCD Keypad. (See
the Composer Online Help for programming instructions, and see the
Control4 Wireless Thermostat User Guide for programming instructions
using one of the navigation devices).

Troubleshooting

If thermostat is not working:

• Ensure HVAC system is not turned OFF.

• Check for proper wiring. (See “Sample Wiring Configurations” on

page 2.)
