FEATURES

• The TX1500 can be used with most 24 volt gas, oil or electric heating and air conditioning systems, single-stage heat pumps or gas millivolt heating systems.

It cannot be used with 120 volt heating systems or multistage heat pumps. Ask your dealer for other LUX thermostats to control those systems.

• The TX1500 is programmable. There

are four programming periods per day. Each period can be programmed separately .

• Easy to use Lux Speed Dial®.

• Y ou can use the built-in time/temperatur e pr ograms, or alter them to suit your schedule. The TX1500 provides separate programming for weekdays, Saturday, and

Sunday — for both heating and cooling. You can override the programmed temperatures for as little as one programming period or for an entire vacation.

• In cool weather , when the system switch is set to HEAT, the TX1500 will maintain cooler “set back” room temperatures to save energy. It will then change to warmer “comfort” settings — all automatically, at specified times during the day.

• In warm weather ,when the system switch is set to COOL, the TX1500 will maintain warmer “set back” room temperatures to save energy. It will then change to cooler “comfort” settings - all automatically, at specified times during the day.

• A large liquid crystal display shows time, day of the week, and room and set temperatures. It will remind you when the filter should be changed in your blower.

• Temperature swing adjustment lets you fine-tune your system for maximum comfort and economy.

Thank you for your confidence in our product. To obtain the best results from your investment, please read these instructions and acquaint yourself with your purchase before installing your new thermostat. Then follow the installation procedures, one step at a time. This will save you time and minimize the chance of damaging the thermostat and the systems it controls. These instructions may contain information beyond that required for your particular installation. Please save for future reference.

CAUTION

• Your thermostat is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care.

• Turn off electricity to the appliance before installing or servicing thermostat or any part of the system. Do not turn electricity back on until work is completed.

• Do not short (jumper) across electric terminals at control on furnace or air conditioner to test the system. This will damage the thermostat and void your warranty .

• All wiring must conform to local codes and ordinances.

• This thermostat is designed for use with 24 volt and millivolt systems. The thermostat should be limited to a maximum of 1.0 amps; higher amperage may cause damage to the thermostat. If you are in doubt, call your utility company.

INSTALLATION

Please read all instructions carefully before beginning installation.

TOOLS REQUIRED

#1 Phillips screwdriver (small) Drill with 3/16-in. (4.8mm) bit

THERMOSTAT LOCATION

On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in place of the old one unless the conditions listed below suggest otherwise. On new installations, follow the guidelines listed below.

1. Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor, and in a room that is used often.

2. Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as: in direct sunlight; near a lamp, radio, television, radiator, register, or fireplace; near hot water pipes in a wall; near a stove on the other side of a wall.

3. Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as: on a wall separating an unheated room; or in a draft from a stairwell, door, or window.

4. Do not locate in a damp area. This can lead to corrosion that will shorten thermostat life.

5. Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as: in a corner or an alcove; or behind an open door.

6. Do not install the unit until all construction work and painting has been completed.

7. This thermostat does not require leveling.

REMOVING THE OLD THERMOSTAT

Switch electricity to the furnace and air conditioner OFF; then proceed with the following steps.

1. Remove cover from old

thermostat. Most are snap-on types and simply pull off. Some have locking screws on the side. These must be loosened.

2. Note the letters printed near the terminals. Attach labels

(enclosed) to each wire for identification. Remove and label wires one at a time. Make sure the wires do not fall back inside the wall.

3. Loosen all screws on the old thermostat and remove it from the wall.

MOUNTING THE TX1500 ON THE WALL

3. Press up on the button on bottom of thermostat and swing the body away from the base and up to remove the body from the base.

1. Strip insulation 3/8 in. (9.5mm) from wire ends and clean off any corrosion.

CAUTION

To avoid electrical shock and to prevent damage to the furnace, air conditioner, and thermostat, disconnect the power supply before beginning work. This can be done at the fuse box, at the circuit breaker, or at the appliance.

CAUTION

Read instructions carefully

before removing any

wiring from existing

thermostat. Wires must be

labeled before they are

removed. When removing

wires from their terminals,

ignore the color of the wires since these may not comply with the standard.

2. Fill wall opening with

non-combustible insulation to prevent drafts from affecting the thermostat.

CAUTION

Be careful not to drop the body or disturb electronic parts.

Leave the cover closed while the body is being removed from the base.

If you are mounting the base

to a soft material like

plasterboard or if you are using

the old mounting holes, the

screws may not hold. Drill a 3/16-in. (4.8mm) hole at each screw location, and insert the

plastic anchors provided. Then

mount the base as described

below.

ATTACHING WIRES

4. Hold the base against the wall, with the wires coming through wherever it is convenient for wiring. Route the wires to below the terminal block. Position the base for best appearance (to hide any marks from an old thermostat). Attach the base to the wall with the two screws provided.

CAUTION

Do not allow wires to touch each other or parts on thermostat. Wires must be

trapped between black spacer and brass terminal. Also, be sure to tighten securely

all 7 electrical terminal screws.

If you have an electric system and the blower does not operate after installation, find the

NOTE

electric/gas heat selector on the back of the body . Move the selector to the ELEC position.
