APPLICATION
The W8525A,B Control Module is used with the
T7525A/T7526A Touchpad Thermostats. The Control Module
contains the HVAC control relays, a microcontroller, and
associated circuitry. It communicates with the Utility Gateway
and Load Relay Module via power line carrier (PLC). It also
powers and communicates with the T7525A/T7526A
Touchpad Thermostats via a dedicated four-wire connection
over the thermostat wires. It acts as a messaging gateway
between the T7525A/T7526A Touchpad Thermostats and the
Utility Gateway.
IMPORTANT
The specifications given in this publication do not
include normal manufacturing tolerances. Therefore,
an individual unit may not exactly match the listed
specifications. Also, this product is tested and
calibrated under closely controlled conditions and
some minor differences in performance can be
expected when those conditions are changed.

W8525A,B CONTROL MODULE
Location
Mount the W8525A,B Control Module on a 4 x 4 in. electrical
box near the air handling equipment or other location where it
can be connected to the R, W, Y, and G wires for conventional
HVAC systems or R, W1/Y, G, and W2 wires for heat pump
HVAC systems with a common W1/Y wire.
Mounting (Fig. 2)
A Remove the W8525A,B Control Module from its
package. Set aside any mounting materials (screws,
plastic screw anchors, etc.) until later in the mounting
procedure.
B Make sure that the location chosen is clear of studs and
other possible obstructions behind the drywall.

C Place the electrical box on the wall at the selected
location and use it as a stencil to outline the portion of
the drywall to be cut away.
D Cut the opening for the electrical box.
E Mount the electrical box in the cutout.
F Run the line voltage wiring into the electrical box,
leaving a minimum of 3 in. (76 mm) of wire exposed in
the electrical box for connection to the Control Module.
G Connect the line voltage wires to the Control Module
pigtail leads using wire nuts.
H Mount the Control Module on the electrical box using
the screws supplied.
I Connect the four wires from the Touchpad Thermostat
and the wires from the HVAC equipment to be
controlled to the two terminal strips as shown in Figs. 3
and 4.
