CTE–5100 series thermostats may be mounted horizontally or vertically to a standard 2" x 4" (51 x 102)
handy box using a HMO-5024/26 or 5030/5031 backplate, or directly to a hollow wall using drywall bracket
HMO-5023. Mount thermostats on walls unaffected by sunlight or drafts to ensure accurate average
temperature sensing. All CTE–5100 series thermostats require a scale plate and a cover which must be
ordered separately.
