Installation Instructions
Remove and Replace the old thermostat
To install the thermostat properly, please follow these step by step
instructions. If you are unsure about any of these steps, call a qualified
technician for assistance.
• Assemble tools: Flat blade screwdriver, wire cutters and wire
strippers.
• Make sure your Heater/Air Conditioner is working properly
before beginning installation of the thermostat.
• Carefully unpack the thermostat. Save the screws, any brackets,
and instructions.
• Turn off the power to the Heating/Air Conditioning system at
the main fuse panel. Most residential systems have a separate
breaker for disconnecting power to the furnace.
• Remove the cover of the old thermostat. If it does not come off
easily, check for screws.
• Loosen the screws holding the thermostat base or subbase to
the wall and lift away.
• Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat. Tape the ends of
the wires as you disconnect them, and mark them with the letter
of the terminal for easy reconnection to the new thermostat.
• Keep the old thermostat for reference purposes, until your new
thermostat is functioning properly.

The backplate does not fully
cover a full size vertical junction
box. The ACC-WALLPLT touch

mounted junction box would
be needed for that type of
installation.
To remove the thermostat backplate:
Using the Finger Pull Areas, pull the
front housing away from the backplate.
Look for these tabs to locate

This dip switch configures the thermostat to control a
conventional gas/electric system or a heat pump. If your
system is anything other than a heat pump, leave this
switch set for GAS/EL.*
*For some commercial heat pumps, this switch may need
123
to be set for GAS/EL. Consult the commercial heat pump
literature.
When the GAS/EL or HP dip switch is configured for HP,
this dip switch (O or B) must be set to control the
appropriate reversing valve. If O is chosen, the W1/O/B
terminal will energize in cooling. If B is chosen, the
1 2 3
W1/O/B terminal will energize in heating.
1. When GAS/EL or HP is set for GAS/EL:
This switch (GAS or ELEC) controls how the thermostat
will control the Fan (G) terminal in heating mode. When
GAS is chosen, the thermostat will not energize the
Fan (G) terminal in heating. When ELEC is chosen the
thermostat will energize the fan in heating.

2. When GAS/EL or HP is set for HP:
This switch (GAS or ELEC) defines the Aux Heat type.
When GAS is chosen, the auxiliary heat will not be
allowed to run during heat pump operation. When
using a Dual Fuel system, set this switch for GAS.
When ELEC is chosen, up to two stages of auxiliary
strip heat will be allowed to run.

Free Cooling utilizes the Y1 terminal for the operation of 1st stage cooling.
If mechanical (compressor) cooling is also present, the mechanical cooling is
connected to the Y2 terminal in this instance.
Free Cooling may be used with a Gas/Electric or Heat Pump system.
Temperature Sensor: ACC-RSEN Temperature Sensor 10K ohm sensor

Troubleshooting
• SYMPTOM: The thermostat touch screen buttons are not responsive.
CAUSE: The touch screen is out of calibration.
REMEDY: Remove the thermostat from the backplate. Push the
thermostat back onto the backplate, while keeping your finger pressed
firmly against the center of the touch screen, until the Calibration
screen appears. Re-calibrate the touch screen.
• SYMPTOM: The display is blank.
CAUSE: Lack of proper power.
REMEDY: Make sure the power is on to the HVAC and that you have 24vac between R & C.
• SYMPTOM: The air conditioning does not attempt to turn on.
CAUSE: The cooling setpoint is set too high.
REMEDY: Lower the cooling setpoint or lower the cooling set-point
limit. See Setpoint Limits (page 28).
• SYMPTOM: The heating does not attempt to turn on.
CAUSE: The heating setpoint is set too low.
REMEDY: Raise the heating setpoint or raise the heating set-point limit.
See Setpoint Limits (page 28).
• SYMPTOM: When controlling a residential heat pump, and asking for
cooling, the heat comes on.
CAUSE: The thermostat reversing valve dip switch is set for “B”.
REMEDY: Set the reversing valve jumper for “ O ”.
• SYMPTOM: When calling for cooling, both the heat and cool come on.
CAUSE: The thermostat equipment dip switch is configured for “HP”
and the HVAC unit is a Gas/Electric.
REMEDY: Set the equipment dip switch for “Gas”.
• SYMPTOM: Air handler control board fuse blows when thermostat
is attached to backplate with power on, but does not blow until the
thermostat is placed onto the backplate.
CAUSE: The Outdoor sensor and/or sensor wiring is shorted.
REMEDY: Check/replace Outdoor sensor and/or sensor wiring.
