1. Turn off the old thermostat.

2. Turn off power to the heating and cooling system.

3. Remove any locking screw and then remove the face plate.

4. Record the terminal names and corresponding wire colors below.

(Depending on your system, you may not have all the wires listed here)

5. Now remove the wires and the old wall plate.

1. Detach the back cover of CyberStat and place it on the wall. Mark
the mounting hole locations with a pencil. You may want to use a level

at this time.

2. Use a #2 Philips head screwdriver to screw-in the provided drywall

anchors at marked locations. If the old thermostat did not use drywall

anchors then most likely there is a wood bracing behind the drywall. In

that case you should skip this step.
Tip: The drywall anchor does not require pre-

drilling. However, making a dimple with the tip of
a screw driver at the marked location will make

the placement more accurate.

3. Mount the back cover on the wall.

4. Connect the wires to the terminals matching the terminal names. See

wiring diagrams for your system on pages 6-13.

5. Trim and tape unused wires. Please do not leave unused exposed
wires in the area. Tuck all wires such that they stay below the terminal

level.

6. Attach the front assembly to the wall plate. First, hook the tabs on the
top of front assembly to the slots on the wall plate then snap the bottom

in place.

7. Turn on the power to the heating and cooling system.

8. CyberStat will now show the room temperature.

* Additional configuration on page 16 is required for Heat Pump.

Wiring Troubleshooting

15

Caution: Turn off power to furnace/air-handler before you open its wiring panel.

CyberStat does not power up:

1. Touch the two leads of 24 V test lamp to R and C terminals of Cyber­Stat. Be careful not to short the lamp wires. If the lamp does not light

up, your C wire is not connected to C terminal on furnace or air-handler.

Please note that the lamp test is useful for detecting unconnected
wires. It does not detect wrong connections. A wrong connection can

still produce a false positive.

2. If you had opened your furnace or air-handler panel, be sure to close

it. Often there is a switch on the panel cover. This switch cuts off power

when panel is open.

CyberStat keeps resetting to 00:

1. Make sure that C wire is connected to C terminal on furnace or air
handler. If you connect C wire to any other terminal, you will not get a

stable power.

2. If you do not have a C wire, you must use an external power supply.

Only fan (green) or a previously-unused wire can be re-purposed or

used as C wire. Any other wire that was used earlier for other purpose

cannot be used as C wire.

System Configuration

16

Tip: You could also complete this step using a smart-phone, tablet or
laptop computer. See Wi-Fi setup on page 21.

Configure CyberStat to work with your heating/cooling System. Press

mode and up buttons simultaneously to enter configuration mode.
Press up or down buttons to select a setting for current item.

Press mode button again to save your selection and move on to the
next item. For conventional systems, there is only one configuration
item to fill in. For these systems, pressing mode button will bring back

the normal display immediately.

Use the configuration chart on the next page as a guide to select cor­rect settings for your heating and cooling system. If you are not sure

about your system, check the label on the indoor and outdoor units.

If your heating and cooling are reversed, please double check your
reversing valve settings. Also make sure that you are not using

Heat Pump setting while you have a conventional system.

1. If you have an A/C with gas furnace or heat-only or cool-only system,
then select conventional.

2. If you have a Heat Pump plus a gas furnace, then select Dual Fuel.

3. For Rheem or Ruud brand heat pumps, reversing valve is energized

for heating (pick 0). For most other brands, reversing valve is energized
for cooling (pick 1). To verify your settings, run a cooling test described

on the next page. Heating test is not suitable for this purpose.

Fan test – Press the mode button repeatedly until the fan light comes

on. The fan should turn on. Note: if you have re-purposed your fan
(green) wire to be used as ‘C’ wire then this test will not work.

Cooling test – Press the mode button repeatedly until the cool light

comes on. Press the up or down buttons to select a temperature lower

than the room temperature. The air conditioner should turn on.

Heating test – Press the mode button repeatedly until the heat light
comes on. Press up or down buttons to select a temperature higher
than the room temperature. The first stage heater should turn on. After

some time, second stage heater (if available) should turn on.

Note: For system safety and performance, heating and cooling cannot
be used back to back. Please allow at least fifteen minutes between
heating and cooling tests. Power cycling CyberStat will overcome this

time delay.

System Test

18

CyberStat is now ready to use. Press the mode button repeatedly to
select an appropriate mode and the up or down buttons to set desired

temperature. Operation in various modes are described below:

More advanced features of CyberStat will become available after you

setup Wi-Fi.

Auto CyberStat automatically sets heating or cooling modes to

maintain set temperature

Heat If the room temperature goes below set temperature then

the heater is turned on

Fan Fan is turned on for air circulation
Cool If the room temperature goes above set temperature then

the air conditioner is turned on

Off Mode indicators and the system are turned off. Wi-Fi status

indicator and temperature display stay on.

Basic Use

19

CyberStat can store up to with three programs for three seasons: P1 for
spring/fall, P2 for summer and P3 for winter. You can access and cus­tomize these programs from your computer. P0 puts CyberStat into

manual mode.

To switch between programs, press and hold mode button for two sec-

onds. Then press up or down buttons to select a program suitable for
the current season. New program will be effective at next scheduled

point.

Overrides: Press up or down buttons to change set temperature. The
settings indicator turns on when the display shows set temperature.
Press mode button to cycle through different modes. The overrides will

take effect after a ten-second delay.

In manual mode P0, no program is running and any change you make

is permanent - it will stay there until you change it again.

In a programmed mode P1-P3, any change you make is temporary ­it will expire at next program point and the program will resume.
