The Digital Thermostat That Builds 
Your Business And Flexes Your Inventory.
The vertical 70 Series™ thermostats build your new construction 
business. It's the first series of flexible thermostats enabling 
customers to wire and mount one subbase for use with the temporary 
new construction thermostat and easily snap on an upgrade to any 
1E78 digital model upon building completion. The vertical 70 Series 
low-profile design blends narrow width with new home decors. 
The universal subbase, for use with all 1E78 models, is designed    
to mount on a 2" x 4" junction box or directly to the wall. There is also 
an optional wallplate for use in retro-fit applications. The 70 Series 
thermostats are battery powered, making them easy to install and 
compatible with most heating and cooling systems. The vertical 
70 Series is perfect for new construction customers who want 
a quick and easy transition to job completion.
