IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
WARNING
FIRE AND SHOCK HAZARD
• Always turn off power at the main power supply
before installing, cleaning or removing the
thermostat. Failure to do so could result in
electrical shock hazard.
• Do not use on voltages over 30 VAC. Higher
voltages will damage the thermostat and could cause
shock or fire hazard.
NOTICE
• All wiring must conform to local and national
electrical and building codes.
• Use this thermostat only as described in this
manual.

• 24 VAC (18–30 VAC)
Before You Begin
• Determine the appropriate installation location for the
thermostat
The thermostat should face the bed area of the
room.
The thermostat must not be installed near or on
metal structures or surfaces including metal air
ducting that may be in the wall.

reduce the range of the wireless signal.
A. Refer to the Zoneline Owner’s Manual to change
the AUX setting to 6A (class 2 mode). The unit will
display “use wall thermostat” when finished.
B. Zoneline output is 24VAC. Be sure the jumper on the
wireless control card is on the AC position – jumper
is connecting “R” and “C” (common) pins. This is the
default position.

NETWORK INSTALLATION ONLY
NOTE: This section is not required unless the thermostats
are networked
Pairing the Thermostat and the Control Card:
In case of Network Installation with online
management, the thermostat and the Control
Card must be paired with a Network Programmer
specific to the property before the installation. Note:
Thermostat and Control Card are factory paired.

Network
Programmer
Programmer
Connector
Control
Card
The thermostat and control card must not be powered
during the pairing procedure - remove batteries from the
thermostat and unplug the control card from the HVAC
unit during the pairing procedure.
• Plug one programmer connector into the thermostat;
• Plug the other programmer connector into the control card.
• Push the black button on the programmer.
•
The red light on the programmer should turn on and
remain steadily lit.
•
If the red light on the programmer is blinking or is not
steadily lit, unplug the programmer from the thermostat
and the control card and repeat the steps above.
• Unplug the programmer from the thermostat and the
control card.

Thermostat Installation
Installing the Wireless Control Card
• Power off the Zoneline
• Insert the Control Card wiring harness into the thermostat
connection port on the front of the Zoneline control box
cover.
• For Makeup Air Models (*DBM and *EBM), insert the
small connector into the mating CDC Connection port next
to the thermostat port. (See Drawing 1)
NOTE: If not a Makeup Air Model, DO NOT plug in the CDC/
occupancy connection.

Thermostat Installation
Installing the Wireless Control Card (cont.)
• Using the supplied double sided tape, attach the control
card to the Zoneline control box cover. (See Drawing 2)
Mount the control card inside of the hvac unit.
The wireless control card antenna must not be touching any
metal components of the hvac unit.
The wireless control card antenna must face the thermostat
on the wall and be oriented so that any metal parts of the
Zoneline do not obstruct the wireless communication to the
thermostat and, in case of a network installation, to other
wireless control cards and the server.
The wireless control card must not be placed in the
Zoneline condensation pan and must be mounted so it
cannot fall into the condensation pan.
• For wired applications, join the common and 24VAC
wires with any code-approved low voltage field supplied
connection method.
