APPLICATION

The PC8900 Control Panel provides 24 Vac energy saving control for a heating and cooling system, while providing reliable, precise temperature control, ventilation control, humidity control, programmable fan control and air filter/ cleaner status information.

The PC8900 must be used with a W8900 Remote Module.

The PC8900 includes a SYSTEM light, which is lit when the heating or cooling system is running, and a CHECK light, which lights as a prompt to check messages on the CHECK list.

These models will replace most heating/cooling system thermostats. Check Table 1 to make sure the thermostat is compatible with the intended system.

Location and Mounting

NOTE: The following location guidelines apply only if a remote sensor is not part of the installation. If a remote sensor is installed, the PC8900 can be installed in any convenient location, with these guidelines applying to the sensor location.

Locate the PC8900 where it will not be subjected to tampering.

1.Choose a location on an inside wall about 5 ft (1.5m) above the floor. A horizontally mounted standard

2 in. x 4 in. (51 mm x 102 mm) outlet box can also be used at the selected location for the PC8900.

2.Be sure that the wire distance between the PC8900 and the W8900 does not exceed 200 feet.

3.Be sure that there is good air circulation at average temperature at the chosen location. Avoid the following locations because they can introduce errors in temperature measurements.

Hot areas caused by:

Concealed pipes or ducts.

Drafts from fireplaces or other heat sources.

Convection or radiant heat from the sun or electrical equipment.

Cold areas caused by:

Concealed pipes or ducts.

Drafts from windows and doors.

Unheated areas on the other side of the wall location.

Dead air areas:

Behind doors, furniture and curtains.

In corners and alcoves.

4.Mark the area on the wall where the PC8900 or outlet box will be mounted.

5.Run cable to a hole at the selected wall location. Pull approximately 3 inches of wire through the opening. Color-coded 18-gauge thermostat wire is recommended.

6.Position wiring plate on wall.

7.Level the wiring plate, for appearance only, using the posts on top of the wiring plate. Device will function properly even when not level.

8.Mark three mounting holes using a pencil.

9.Remove wiring plate from wall and drill 3/16 inch holes in wall, if drywall, as marked. For firmer material such as plaster or wood, drill 7/32 inch holes. Gently tap anchors provided into drilled holes until flush with the wall. See Fig. 2.

10.Position wiring plate over holes in wall or outlet box, pulling wires through wiring opening. Loosely insert two mounting screws into holes.

11.Tighten mounting screws.
