INSTALLATION
WARNING
!
Thermostat installation and all components of the
control system shall conform to Class II circuits per
the NEC code.
Remove Old Thermostat
Before removing wires from old thermostat, mark wires for
terminal identifi cation so the proper connections will be made
to the new thermostat.
Installing New Thermostat
1. Pull the thermostat body off the thermostat base. Forcing
or prying on the thermostat will cause damage to the unit.
2. Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole
locations on wall using base as a template.
3. Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes. If you
are using existing mounting holes and the holes drilled
are too large and do not allow you to tighten base snug ly, use plastic screw anchors to secure the base.
4. Fasten base snugly to wall using mounting holes shown
in Figure 1 and two mounting screws. Leveling is for
appearance only and will not affect thermostat operation.
5. Connect wires to terminal block on base using appropriate
wiring schematic.
6. Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fi re re sistant material (such as fi berglass insulation) to prevent
drafts from affecting thermostat operation.
Thermostat Power Method Switch Position/Description
Battery Powered, no 24 Volt
system power available.
Hardwired with Battery
Back-up, for 24 Volt systems
with common connection from
transformer to "C" terminal on
thermostat.
*Battery Powered with Power
Stealing Assist, for 24 Volt
systems with no common
connection from transformer to
"C" terminal on thermostat.
Switches "On", thermostat runs
on batteries.
Switches "On", thermostat
runs on power directly from
transformer with battery backup.
Switches "On", thermostat runs
on batteries and supplemental
power drawn through the heat
or cool circuit.
*Power Stealing Assist is very reliable to increase battery life,
but on a small number of heating or cooling systems with high
impedance electronic modules you may observe one of the following conditions:
1. The furnace draft inducer motor may run with no call for heat.
2. The furnace fan may turn on with no call for heat or may not
turn off.
3. The furnace may not turn off when the call for heat ends.
4. The air conditioner may not turn off when the call for cool ends.
If the Power Stealing Assist method is not compatible with your
system, place the Power Stealing Switches to "Off". This cancels
Power Stealing Assist, operates the thermostat on batteries and
corrects the condition.
Figure 1 – Thermostat Base Multi-Stage 1F95EZ-0671
7. Carefully line the thermostat up with the base and snap
into place.
Battery Location
2 "AA" alkaline batteries are included in the thermostat at the
factory with a battery tag to prevent power drainage. Remove
the battery tag to engage the batteries.
To replace batteries, set system to OFF, remove thermostat
from wall and install the batteries in the rear along the top of
the thermostat (see Figure 1). For best results, use a premium brand "AA" alkaline battery such as Duracell
®
gizer
. If the home is going to be unoccupied for an extended
period (over 3 months) and
is displayed, the batteries
®
or Ener-
should be replaced before leaving.
Power Stealing Switch
The Power Stealing Switches (Fig. 1) should be left in the
"On" position for most systems. The information in the following table details the thermostat power method and switch
options.
