Install Guide CT101

PG 1

Caution

• Your thermostat is a precise instrument, handle it with care.

• Turn off electricity to the HVAC system 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 the control on the furnace or air conditioner to test the system. This may damage the thermostat.

• All wiring must conform to local codes and ordinances.

• This thermostat is designed for use with 4AA alkaline batteries and/or 24 volt AC C wire (or a 12-24 AC or DC source) and millivolt gas systems. Each thermostat relay load should be limited to 1.0 amp; higher amperage may cause damage to the thermostat.

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 circuit breaker.

TOOLS

You will need a small Phillips screwdriver and a drill with 3/16-in. (4.8mm) bit for wall mounts.

LOCATION

Replacement installations - mount the CT101 in place of the old thermostat. A new location will require moving your wiring. For new installations and relocating the CT101 - follow the guidelines listed below:

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

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

• 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.

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

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

• Do not install the CT101 until all construction and painting has been completed.

• This thermostat does not require leveling.

REMOVE OLD UNIT

Switch OFF electricity to the HEATING and COOLING systems.

Then follow these steps:

• Remove cover from old thermostat. Most are snap-on types and simply pull off. Some have locking screws on the side or front. These must be loosened. DO NOT remove wires. Note the letters printed near the terminals. Attach labels (enclosed) to each wire for identication.

Caution

Read instructions carefully before removing any wiring from existing thermostat. Wires must be labeled before they are removed. THERE IS NO STANDARD COLOR CODE. When removing wires from their terminals, ignore the color of the wires and LABEL THEM by the lettered terminal where they were screwed.

• Label the wires one at a time. You must label all the wires before you proceed.

• With all wires labeled, remove them from the old unit.

• Make sure the wires do not fall back inside the wall. You can wind them around a pencil to keep them from falling.

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

PG 3

PG 4

What wires do you have?

Make sure your wires are labeled. This may require you to nd the ‘other end’ connection for each wire on your heating or air conditioning equipment and read the label there. Refer to the Wire Reference page at end of install section for better understanding of wire labels from different HVAC system makers.

IMPORTANT: The CT101 runs on 4 AA alkaline batteries and/or the C wire if available. If you do not have a C wire you can run a new wire from the HVAC or use a standard 12-24V [AC or DC] wall transformer. A constant power source is required when using a radio module.

IMPORTANT: If you have both RH and RC you need to

Please follow these guidelines for safe and secure wire connections:

• You will need at least 2.6” of wire for each of your connections to the CT101.

• If you do not have enough wire, splice additional wire to allow enough slack.

• Terminals accept wires from 16-22awg.

• Fan out wires below the hole as shown.

• Remove insulation 1/8” from the tip of each wire.

• When handling, take care not to damage the labels for each wire.

• “Fan out” wires as illustrated with CT101 below the wall opening. As in the example: fan out the wires so that the C wire is above the C terminal, the W above the W. This allows the CT101 to t snug to the wall.

Caution

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

• Position the Wires behind the CT101 and up over the terminal area.

• Do not bunch wires behind the CT101. Feed any slack back into the wall opening.

Connect Your Wires

• Connect labeled wires only to a terminal with the same letter label.

• Insert the wire in the terminal well and tighten the screw securely. NOTE: If you wish you can mount the CT101 to the wall rst, and then connect the wires.

• The CT101 can be externally powered with a power source rated from 12V to 24V, AC or DC, at 300ma or greater. If used, connect to the C and RH terminals (no polarity).

Mount the CT101 to Wall

1. Hold the CT101 against the wall, with the wires coming over the top; above terminal block. The CT101 will cover the hole in the wall.

2. Position CT101 for best appearance.

3. Attach the CT101 to the wall with the screws provided.

4. If you are mounting the CT101 to sheet rock or if you are using the old mounting holes, use the plastic anchors provided.

5. Mark rst and drill a 3/16-in.(4.8mm) hole for the insert at each screw

Install 4 AA Batteries

• Install 4 AA alkaline batteries [required] following the marked polarity in the battery compartments. Put the battery in negative end rst against the spring, then push the positive end in.

IMPORTANT: Press the RESET button (under top

cover) to implement the HVAC switch selections.

• With all the wires connected it is time to turn the AC power back on. Do this at the breaker you used to switch it off. The CT101 will power-up in the OFF mode. Your CT101 is not congured to operate your HVAC system yet. You must now congure your thermostat for your HVAC system.

Caution

Special Thermostat Battery Cautions

Always replace the batteries as soon as the “Low Batt” ashes. The thermostat is a battery powered device. You must be responsible to replace batteries before they run out. Failure to replace batteries can result in overheating or excessive cooling of your house.

• Even if the “Low Batt” indicator does not ash, you should always replace the batteries at least once a year. Replacing the batteries also helps to prevent leakage that can corrode and damage the thermostat.

• If you are leaving your home for a month or more, you should replace the batteries as a precaution against battery failure in your absence.

BATTERY WARNING

• Always use new alkaline batteries.

• Failing to replace the batteries, when necessary,

could cause the thermostat to lose power or

Do Not Mix Old And New Batteries. Do Not Mix Alkaline, Standard (Carbon - Zinc), Or Rechargeable (Nickel - Cadmium) Batteries DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN FIRE. BATTERIES MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK.

malfunction. If the thermostat loses power, then the thermostat will not control the temperature which could result in your HVAC system not functioning as you intended and lead to possible damage from overheating or excessive cooling.

• If the thermostat batteries fail with the heat OFF, this can result in NO HEAT and possible frozen or broken pipes and water damage.

• If the thermostat batteries fail with the cool OFF, this can result in NO COOL and could cause possible damage or excessive temperatures.

This thermostat runs on 4AA batteries. The CT101 can be externally powered with a power source rated from 12V to 24V, AC or DC, at 300ma or greater. If used, connect to the C and RH terminals (no polarity). The 24VAC “C” wire is the other side of the 24VAC heating transformer and can be found where the other thermostat wires connect at the wall or at the furnace. Do not use the common or ground side of the line voltage.
