When Installing this Product...

1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow

the instructions can damage the product or cause a hazardous condition.

2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on

the product to make sure the product is suitable for your application.

3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service

technician.

4. After completing installation, use these instructions

to check out the product operation.

CAUTION

Disconnect power supply to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.

Location

Install the thermostat about 5 ft (1.5m) above the floor in an area with good air circulation at average temperature. See Fig. 1.

Do not install the thermostat where it can be affected by: — drafts, or dead spots behind doors and in corners. — hot or cold air from ducts. — radiant heat from sun or appliances. — concealed pipes and chimneys. — unheated (uncooled) areas such as an outside wall

behind the thermostat.

Wallplate Installation

The thermostat can be mounted horizontally on the wall or on a 2 in. x 4 in. wiring box. Position wallplate horizontally on the wall or on a 2 in. x 4 in. wiring box.

1. Position and level the wallplate (for appearance

only). The thermostat will function properly even when not level.

2. Use a pencil to mark the mounting holes. See Fig. 2.

3. Remove the wallplate from the wall and drill two

3/16 inch holes in the wall (if drywall) as marked. For firmer material such as plaster or wood, drill two 7/32 inch holes. Gently tap anchors (provided) into the drilled holes until flush with the wall.

CAUTION

Disconnect power before wiring to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.

1. Loosen the terminal screws on the wallplate and

connect the system wires. See Fig. 4.

IMPORTANT

Use 18 gauge, color-coded thermostat cable for proper wiring.

2. Securely tighten each terminal screw.

3. Push excess wire back into the hole.

4. Plug the hole with nonflammable insulation to

prevent drafts from affecting the thermostat.
