WARNING

All three of the thermostat models shown above control line voltage (125/250 VAC) directly. Do not attempt to install these unless you are completely familiar

with house wiring. If proper precautions are not followed, a risk of electric shock may exist, possibly causing severe injury or death. Disconnect power supply

prior to removing existing thermostat or installing this one. Do not connect to voltages different than the ratings listed above.

NOTE: The LV2 Double Pole heating only model may also be used in Single Pole applications, however only the LINE 1 and LOAD 1 terminals must be

used. Only the LINE 1 and LOAD 1 terminals are switched during normal temperature cycling.

All wiring performed must comply with applicable codes and ordinances to your local area.

LOCATION:

The thermostat should be mounted in a standard 2 inch X 3 Inch Electrical Outlet Box. For Ease of installation, use a “deep” style box to assist in allowing room for the excess wires. A mounting location should be chosen where it will be constantly exposed to the average room temperature. The thermostat should also be located away from the following: concealed hot or cold water pipes, air ducts, hallway drafts, fireplaces, or stairways, to be able to sense temperature and control your heating

or cooling equipment properly. For the heating only models, avoid positioning this thermostat in a location which is directly above any baseboard heating components,

as this will cause erratic temperature control.

INSTALLATION:

[1] Disconnect the supply power before removing your old thermostat (if applicable) and keep it off until after you have completed installing this thermostat. Double

check that the thermostat is rated for the voltage and amperage to be switched. [2] If replacing an old thermostat, remove it carefully to avoid damaging the wires or

their insulation. Check the existing wire insulation for cracks, nicks, or fraying and apply certified electrical tape where necessary to achieve adequate insulation, or

replace the wires in an approved fashion. [3] For all three heating or cooling models, turn the dial fully counter-clockwise prior to installing. [4] Use the diagrams

shown above as a guide to ensure a proper connection between your voltage supply and your heating or cooling components, using the appropriate LINE and LOAD

designations. [5] Attach the connection wires using appropriately sized solderless wire connectors (provided). Be sure that ALL wire connections are securely

tightened. [6] Ensure that the thermostat is appropriately connected to the ground wire at the grounding screw on the rear of the thermostat housing. [7] Carefully

bend all of the solid conductors and push the excess wire length to the rear of the electrical box to allow enough room for the rear portion of the thermostat to be

recessed into the box. Be sure that no portions of the exposed ground wire are allowed to accidentally come in contact with the LINE or LOAD terminals on the rear of

the thermostat. [8] Carefully push the thermostat all the way into the box opening, and mount the thermostat to the box using appropriately sized mounting screws.

Ensure that the mounting screws will not project too far into the box and come in contact with any of the wires causing a short circuit. [9] Once complete, turn the

power back on to your heating or cooling equipment and turn dial to the desired temperature setting.

NOTE:

Model LV2 is intended for use on 250 or 277 volt heating systems where local codes require that a double line disconnect thermostat be used. On the LV2 model,

only LINE 1 is broken during normal temperature cycling of this thermostat. Both LINE 1 and LINE 2 are broken when the dial is turned to the OFF position.
