Read This Before Installing Thermostat

IMPORTANT

1

Read the entire installation section of this
Owner’s Manual thoroughly before you begin

to install or operate your Hunter Thermostat.

• Remove the mylar label from the display
window.

INSTALLATION

2

All installation is normally performed at your
thermostat.

PROGRAMMING

3

You can practice programming before

installing your thermostat by inserting and
connecting the batteries and following the
instructions on page 14. This can 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

4

Your Hunter Thermostat is designed to

operate with most gas, oil, electric or 2-wire
hot water heating, and air conditioning systems
that have 24-volt or millivolt control.

This Hunter Thermostat will not control multi­stage heating or cooling systems, 110/220 V
systems, or 3 wire zone systems.

COMPRESSOR PROTECTION

5

The thermostat provides a 4-minute delay

after shutting off the compressor before it
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

6

Your thermostat can be programmed between

40°F and 95°F (5°C and 35°C). However, it will
display room temperatures from 32°F to 99°F (0°C
to 37°C).

POWER FAILURE

7

Whenever the main power is interrupted or

fails, the battery power retains the programs
and current time.

This thermostat is designed to optimize the use of your heating and cooling equipment. It
does this by matching your comfort (the temperatures in your home) to your schedule.

An example:

6 a.m. – You wake up. Program 1 has the heat set to 70° (21°C).

7:30 a.m. – You leave for work. The second program turns the heat back to 62°

(17°C) while you are away.

5 p.m. – You come home. The third program has already warmed your house

back to 70° (21°C).

10 p.m. – You go to bed. A half hour later, program 4 turns the heat back to 64°

(18°C) to save energy while you are under the blankets.

How This Thermostat Works…And Saves You Money

BATTERY WARNING

8

When the batteries are low, “LOW BATT”

indicator on the display will flash. When this
happens, install new batteries immediately.
Once the “ LOW BATT” indicator appears, the
thermostat will continue to operate for
approximately 30 days. (Only alkaline batteries
should be used in your thermostat. Rechargeable
batteries have different properties which may
cause the thermostat to not operate properly.
Do not use old batteries.) The batteries 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.

NOTE: If you plan to be away from the

premises over 30 days, we recommend that
you replace the old batteries with new
alkaline batteries prior to leaving.

This thermostat comes with two #8 slotted screws and two wall anchors for mounting. To
install your unit, you should have the following tools and materials.

■ Slotted screwdriver ■ Electric drill and 3/16" bit

■ Hammer ■ Two 1.5 V (AA) Size Alkaline batteries

CAUTION: Do not remove any wiring from existing thermostat before reading the

instructions carefully. Wires must be labeled prior to removal.

■ IMPORTANT! Turn off the power to the furnace at the main power panel or at the furnace.

■ Remove existing thermostat cover and thermostat. See Figure 1. Some thermostats will have

screws or other locking devices that must first be removed. Once wall mounting plate is
exposed, look for wires.

■ If wires are not visible, they may be connected to the back of the wallplate. 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

that thermostat. Each of these terminal points is usually marked with a code letter as shown in
Table A on page 11.

■ 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 do not
have to be concerned about how many wires there are.

■ There is often no terminal marking on the existing thermostat of two wire, heat only systems.

Do not worry, just connect either of the wires to the RH terminal, then connect the other wire
to the W terminal to complete the circuit.

■ IMPORTANT! BEFORE DISCONNECTING ANY WIRES, APPL

Y THE SELF-ADHESIVE

LABELS PROVIDED TO THE WIRE AS SHOWN IN TABLE A ON PAGE 11. (For example,

attach the label marked W to the wire which goes to the W or H terminal on your existing
thermostat.) IGNORE THE COLOR OF THE WIRES

since

these do not always comply with the standard.

■ After labeling wires, disconnect them from the existing

thermostat terminals.

■ Remove existing wallplate. To make sure wires 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

so that no hot or cold air can enter the back of the
thermostat from the wall. This air could cause a false
thermostat reading.

Installation

NOTE: If your thermostat has one wire marked R or RH (4-wire system), then leave

the jumper wire between the RH and RC terminals. Otherwise, if you have separate
RH and RC wires (5-wire system), then remove the jumper wire between the RH and
RC terminals.

NOTE: Do not connect a “Common” wire (sometimes labelled “C”) to any terminal on

this thermostat. Tape up the wire and do not use. This wire provides electricity to non­battery powered thermostats.

Wire Labeling

Snap open the wallplate from your thermostat by pressing the release tab on the bottom of
the thermostat.

Position wallplate on wall and pull existing wires through large opening. Then level for
appearance. Mark holes for plastic anchors provided if existing holes do not line up with
Hunter Thermostat holes.

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. (See Figure 2.)

Mount Wallplate and Thermostat

Figure 2

The heating system selector and the F°/C° selector switches are located on the Printed
Circuit Board.

■ Heating system selector

The heating system selector is a switch on the Printed Circuit Board on the inside of the
thermostat. 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 electric furnace, test to see whether the heat and fan come on as
expected. Leave the switch in the “HG” position. If the fan does not come on when the
thermostat calls for heat, change the switch position to “HE.”

The system selector has no effect in the cooling mode.

NOTE: “HG” position is for gas and most other systems. “HE” position is for certain

electric systems having a fan relay.

■ F°/C° selector (Fahrenheit/Centigrade)

Your thermostat is set for F° mode from the factory. In order to
change to C° mode, slide the switch to C° and press reset
button on the front of the thermostat with a paper clip. The reset
button is located near the display.

NOTE: Unless reset button is pressed, the thermostat will

not change the mode.

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 bill 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
weekdays and 4 seperate programs for each
weekend day.

A typical set of programs is shown in Table 1.

Your thermostat can be programmed in two
different ways.

1. Auto-program method

2. Manual method

Before programming, position the
Heat/Off/Cool selector to the mode to be
programmed.

Auto-program method

In auto-program method, you can program
your thermostat instantly for the entire week
by simply pressing “ Auto Prog.” key once.
When this key is pressed, standard program
gets activated and your thermostat is
programmed automatically. The standard
program is shown in table 3.

If you wish to change this program to suit
your life style, you can do so by changing
the time and the temperatures of those
programs which you want to be different
than standard programs. The method is
explained in the manual method of
programming.

Press Your thermostat will be

programmed automatically according to Table 3.

(If the slide switch is in the heat mode, only
heat program is effective. In order to activate
cool program, slide the switch to cool mode
and press “ Auto Prog.”)

Manual method

In this method, each program is inserted accord­ing to your personal programming schedule.

When the battery is first inserted, the
thermostat is programmed for 68°F (20°C) in
heat mode and 78°F (25°C) in cool mode.

NOTE: There are no energy saving time or

temperature settings.

Familiarize yourself with manual
programming. The following example
demonstrates the manual programming
method. You can program or change the
program of weekdays and weekends.
