uninstalling the existing unit

1.Turn the system power OFF from the existing thermostat. Turn the power to the HVAC system OFF at the main power panel or at the furnace.

2.Remove the existing thermostat cover to

access the wires from the wall.

(Some thermostats may have multiple covers, screws or other locking devices that must be removed or disengaged.)

3. Locate, but do not disconnect the wires.

(If wires are not visible, they may be connected to the back of the wall plate. Some models may have doors that open to expose the wires and mounting screws.)

4. Using the provided stickers, label each wire according to the chart.

(If the terminals are not labeled, contact a qualified HVAC technician.)

Note: Wire colors do not always comply with standards, so wire color should be ignored. Refer to the existing terminal designation for proper identification.

*If wires marked Y & C are both present, C may be a Common wire and should not be used. If you have a wire marked C, do not connect it

to any terminal. This wire is used only for nonbattery powered thermostats.

5.Do not let the wires slip back into the wall during disconnection. You may want to secure the wires to the wall as you

disconnect them. After all wires are labeled, disconnect each wire and remove the existing wall plate.

4.Remove the wall plate and drill two 3/16” holes where marked.

5.Tap the plastic anchors into the holes until they are flush with the wall.

6.Reposition the wall plate on the wall, pulling the wires through the opening. Insert the mounting screws through the wall plate and into the anchors. Verify that the wall plate is visually level and securely tighten both screws.

Note: A jumper wire has been provided, connecting the RC and RH terminals for systems that do not provide both an RH and RC wire. If you have both an RH and RC wire, remove this jumper. If you do not have both an RH and RC wire, leave the jumper in

2.Match and connect the wires from the wall to the terminals as shown. Wires should be inserted behind the black terminal shields.

Tighten each screw after the connection has

been made.

(The ends of any extra wires should be wrapped in electrical tape and carefully pushed back into the wall.)

3.Push any excess wire length back into the

wall to prevent interference.

3.Span setting mode – allows you to adjust the system ON/OFF cycle rate. The default setting is 2 (the system cycles ON or OFF when the temperature is within 1o F (0.5o C) above and below the set temperature.) The

span setting can be adjusted if your system is cycling too fast or too slowly.

Press and hold both the Up and Down buttons until the word SPAN appears. Use the Up or Down button to adjust the span setting.

(Up will increase your cycle time by allowing the system to run longer; Down will decrease your cycle time by causing the system to run for a shorter length of time.)

4.Low battery warning – indicates two stages of battery power shortage.

When the batteries are detected as weak, the icon will flash until new AA alkaline batteries are installed. If the batteries become too weak for normal operation, the thermostat enters the second battery power shortage mode.

When insufficient battery power is left, the battery icon will flash alone on the display and your system will turn off. The system will remain off until new batteries are installed. After removing the batteries, program and time settings will remain in memory for one minute. If all battery power is lost, programs and time settings will be erased.

The thermostat will resume normal operation after new batteries are installed.

ICONS AND FEATURES, cont.

5.Auto recovery – allows heating and cooling systems to gradually recover from an energy-saving setpoint temperature to a comfort setpoint temperature. Auto recovery calculates the time needed to adjust the temperature to the next program setting. When the thermostat is in Auto Recovery mode, the display will flash alternating messages of RECO and the time. Auto Recovery can be disabled by sliding the recovery switch on the back of the circuit board to the disable position.

(Auto Recovery will not operate if Permanent or Temporary holds are on.)

Press Hold/Return during the Auto Recovery process to manually cancel the recovery.

ICONS AND FEATURES, cont.

6.Error mode – indicates an unexpected battery problem. The screen will flash an

ERR message and shut your system off until the batteries are replaced with new AA alkaline batteries. You must Reset and

reprogram the thermostat after replacing the batteries if the thermostat has entered Error mode.

7.Auto cut off – automatically turns the system off if the temperature rises above 95o F (35o C) or drops below 40o F (4o C).

(If your HVAC system has malfunctioned, the system will no longer respond to thermostat controls and the Auto cut off will have no effect.)
