INSTALLATION
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.
Location
Install the thermostat about 5 ft (1.5m) above the floor in an
area with good air circulation at average temperature. See
Fig. 2.
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. 3.
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, drill two 7/32 inch holes.
Gently tap anchors (provided) into the drilled holes until
flush with the wall.
4. Position the wallplate over the holes, pulling wires
through the wiring opening.
5. Loosely insert the mounting screws into the holes.
6. Tighten mounting screws.
WIRING
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances. Follow equipment manufacturer wiring
instructions when available. Refer to Fig. 15 through 20 for
typical hookups. A letter code is located near each terminal
for identification. Refer to Table 4 for terminal designations.
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
