II you have an
electric furnace, you
need to determine how your
□
fan is controlled. Turn it on
and adjust your present
thermostat so the heat
comes on, while observing
whep tbe ian comes on it the fan comes
on immediately you need to add the
jumper noted in section 4 between
terminals 1 & 5, If there is a noticeable
detay before the fan comes on, there is
no need to add the jumper because your
furnace controls the far.
Begin by turning off power to the
heating/air conditioning system at
the main fuse panel. Most residential
□
systems have a separate switch box or
circuit breaker for disconnecting power
to the furnace.
Remove cover of old thermostat
cover normally snaps otf when
pulled firmly from the bottom. If it resists,
□
check for a screw that locks the cover or.
For CT50A or CT51A installation,
before removing the old
thermostat from the wall, look at it
□
carefully to locate the heat
Place a bubble level or plumb line against the ther
mostat to find the ievel position. Start a screw in
the center of the bottom mounting hole. Move the temper
