• Remove the mylar labei from the display
window.
INSTALUTION
All installation is normally performed at
your thermostat.

PROGRAMMING
You can practice programming before
installing your thermostat by inserting and
3
connecting the batteries as shown on page 13,
can be restarted- This feature will prevent
damage to your air conditioner compressor
caused by rapid cycling. It does not provide a
delay when there are power outages,
TEMPERATURE RANGE
Your thermostat can be programmed
6
between 40°F and 90°F. However, it will
display room temperatures from 32°F to
POWER FAILURE
Whenever the main power is Interrupted
or fails, the battery power retains the
7
programs and current time-
and following the instructions on page 14. Thiscan be done while you relax in your favorite
chair and is a very good way to familiarize
yourself with all the functions of your Hunter
Thermostat.
OPERATION
Your Hunter Therniostat is designed to
operate with most gas, oil, electric or
4
forced hot water heating and air conditioning
systems. These have 24-voit or millivolt
controls and represent most central heating
and air conditioning units in use In the United
States. ■
This Hunter Thermostat will not control multi
stage heating or cooling systems.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION
- The thermostat provides a 4-minute delay
after shutting off the compressor before it’
5
BATTERY WARNING
When the batteries are low, “LOW ВАТТ”
indicator on the display will flash. When
8
this happens, install new batteries {do not use
old batteries) as soon as possible. The
battery should last one year.
CAUTION: The batteries are the only source
of power used to operate your system. If
you do not replace the batteries, the display
will dim and your heating and cooling
system will stop operation.
(f you have questions about the installation or
.programming of the Hunter Thermostat, call us
at 901-745-9222 from 8AM to 5PM Central
Standard Time.

Installation
Your Hunter Thernnostat comes with two #6 slotted
screws and two anchors for mounting. To install your
unit, you should have the following tools and
materials:
■ Slotted Screwdriver
■ Electric drill and
3/16" bit
■ Hammer
V Three 1,6V (M size)
Alkaline batteries
Remove Old Thermostat
CAUTION: Do not remove any wiring from existing
thermostat before reading the instructions
carefully.
Wires must be labeled prior to removali.
<4 Turn your existing thermostat to OFF position.
I Turn off the power to the furnace at the main
power panel to avoid electrical shock.
j
Remove existing thermostat cover and
thermostat. Some thermostats will have screws
2
or other locking devices that must first be removed.
Once wall is exposed, look for wires.
If wires are not visjbie. they may be connected to the
back of wallpiate. Again, look for screws, tabs, etc.
Some models have doors that open to expose wires
and mounting screws (see Figure 1).
Each wire coming from the wall to the existing
thermostat is connected to a terminal point on
3
that thermostat. Each of these terminal points is
usually marked with a code letter as shown in Table
A, Before disconnecting any wires, apply the self
adhesive labels provided to the wire as shown In ‘
Table A. (For example, attach the label marked
W WHITE to the wire which goes to the W or H
terminal on your existing thermostat.)
TYPICAL. HOME THERMOSTATS
Your Hunter thermostat requires three 1.5 volt
batteries. You must replace the batteries
whenever the Low Battery indicator appears on
the display.
IGNORE THE COLOR OF T|-tE WIRES since these do
not always comply with the standard. The number of
wires in your system can be as few as two (for heat
only systems), as many as eight, or any number in
between, if you follow the labeling procedures
correctly, you don’t have to be concerned about how
many wires there are. There is often no terminal
marking on the existing thermostat of two wire, heat
onfy systems. Don't worry, dust connect either of the
wires to the "RED" terminal on your Hunter
thermostat. Then connect the other wire to the
"WHITE" terminal on your thermostat to complete the
circuit.
After labeling wires, disconnect them from the
4
existing thermostat terminals.
Remove existing wallpiate. To make sure wires
5
do not fall back Into wall opening, you may want
to tape them to the wall.
If hole In wall is larger than necessary for wires,
seal this hole up, so no hot or cold air can enter
6
the back of the thermostat from the wall. This air
could cause a false thermostat reading.

NOTE; 5-Wire Systerns
If your existing thermostat has separate wires going
to terminals marked “R” and “RH,” do this simple
test—momentarily turn the main power on. Lightly
scratch the two wires together, (Because this is only a

there was no spark simply connect both these wires
to terminal marked "'RED” on your thermostat.
Connect only the wires that were connected to your
old thermostat to your new thermostat
NOTE: Do not connect a “Common” wire (sometimes labelled “C” to any terminal on this thermostat Tape up the
wire and do not use.
Mount Thermostat Wallplate
Snap open the wallplate from your Hunter thermostat
disconnect the battery and leadwire terminal connectors
Position wallplate on wal) and pull existing wires
through large opening. Then level for appearance.
Use any two of the many rectangular holes provided
on the wallplate for mounting. Mark holes for plastic
anchors provided if existing holes do not line up with
Hunter thermostat holes, (Figure 2)
Drill holes with 3/16" bit, and gently tap anchors Into
the holes until flush with wall.
Reposition wallplate to wall, pulling wires through
large opening, insert mounting screws provided into
wall anchor and tighten.

Heating Systems Selector
The heating system seJector is a switch on the Printed Circuit Board, The switch is at "HG" position. Leave it In
this position if you have a gas furnace or an oil burner.
If you have an eiectn'c furnace, check to see if the heat comes on when called for and that the blower fan will also
come on. If either do not, then change the switch to the “HE” position, if the heat and fan come on normally as
expected, then leave the switch in the "HG” position. The system selector has no effect in the cooling mode.

TypicaTSuggested Summer and Winter Programs
Studies conducted by the Department of Energy
estimate that setting your thermostat back 10'^F for
two 8-hour periods during winter can reduce your fuel
bid by as much as 30%. By setting your thermostat
up 5° for two 8-hour periods during summer you can
reduce your fuel bill up to 25%,
Your thermostat is capable of holding up to 4
separate programs for heat or cool for each weekd.ay
and 2 programs for each weekend day. You can
program all weekdays, Monday to Friday, to the same
4 programs as shown in the table, or each weekday
can have a different setof 4 programs. Similarly
weekend programs, Saturday and Sunday, can be the
same 2 programs or each weekend day can have a
different set of 2 programs.
