1 Location
On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in place of the
old one if possible.
On new Installations, follow the guidelines listed below.
Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the
floor, 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, or
fireplace; near hot water pipes in a wall; 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 or an
alcove; or behind an open door.
Do not install the unit until all construction work and painting has been
completed.
This thermostat does not require leveling.
