Powerley Thermostat

Installation & Operation Guide

After a quick installation, your new Powerley Thermostat will allow you to monitor and control your HVAC system from any where in the world.

The average homeowner spends up to 50% of their energy costs on HVAC use. With the Powerley Thermostat , you'll have a great opportunit y to reduce those costs by intelligently managing temperature setpoints .

To take full advantage of features such as setpoint scheduling, use the companion app on your iOS or Android device to connect your Powerley Thermostat to your Energy Bridge.

It is recommended to hire a profes sional HVAC installer. However, if you do opt to install on your own, we'll guide you along the entire process.

Let's get started!

3. Check Compatibility

Before contin uing to Step 4, check yo ur HVAC system compatibilit y on page 12. Once you're sure yo ur system is co mpatible, remo ve the existing th ermostat fr om the wall.

4. Mount Wallplate

To separate the wallpl ate from the ther mostat front , grasp the si des of the front w hile holding the op ening in wallplate a nd pull apart .

Mount the wallpl ate using the scre ws and anchor s provided. I f necessar y, drill a 1/4-in hole for dr ywall or 5/ 32-in h ole for plast er.

NOTE: Make sure the arrows o n the wallplate are fa cing up.

5. Connect W ires (Conventional System)

A conventional o ne-stag e system usually has 4 -5 wires, wh ile a conventional m ulti-stage system ha s 6-7 wires. U se the picture y ou took in Step 2 to dete rmine which colo r wire goes to which ter minal. Refer to the w iring guide on th e next page to c onﬁ rm your wiring conﬁ guration.

Loosen the s crew by turning it co unterclockw ise and ins ert the wire on i nside edge of the terminal b lock. Tighten t he screw by turnin g clockwis e to secure the w ire in its terminal. Rep eat for remaini ng wires.

If you have a heat p ump system , refer to its us er manual for co rrect wire con ﬁ guration. See pg. 8 fo r the heat pump jump er conﬁ guration g uide. You should conﬁ gur e the heat pump jumper pr ior to providing p ower to your The rmostat.

NOTE: Do not remove the m etal jumper b etween ter minal blocks RH an d RC unless you have both RH and RC wires conne cted.

Wireless Information

This device ha s an open-air lin e-of-sight t ransmiss ion distance of 132 f eet (40m) which complies with Z-Wave st andards. Pe rforman ce can vary d epending on th e amount of object s in betwee n Z-Wave devices such as wa lls and furnitur e.

This produ ct can be oper ated in any Z-Wave netwo rk with other Z-Wave cert iﬁ ed devices fr om other manuf acturers . All non-bat tery oper ated nodes w ithin the netw ork will act as rep eaters regar dless of vendo r to increase relia bility of the net work.

Radio Freque ncy Limitations:

1. Each wall or obje ct (i.e.: ref rigerator, boo kshelf, large T V, etc) can re duce the maximum ran ge of 65 feet (20 m) by up to 20 to 30%.

2. P lasterboa rd and woode n walls block les s radio signal than concrete, b rick or tile walls which will h ave more of an ef fect on sig nal strength .

3. Wall mounted Z-Wave devi ces will also s uffer ran ge loss wh en housed i n metal junction boxe s and could red uce the range by up to 20 -30%.

Maintenance

• Do not expos e your unit to dust , strong sunlight , humidity, high tem peratures or

mechanical shock.

• Do not use ol d and new batte ries togeth er as old batte ries tend to lea k.
