As with any HVAC project, careful installation is the key to a successful outcome.
Time taken during the installation process will be rewarded with fewer call-backs.
The steps required to install the 44-800 thermostat are as follows:
1. Read and understand this Installation Manual and Thermostat User Manual.
2. Mount and wire the subbase
3. Install the batteries
4. Set the 4 system switches to match the equipment application.
5. Wire optional remote temperature sensor(s).
6. Power the thermostat.
7. Set the Advanced Installer settings.
8. Test the thermostat.
GETTING STARTED

DISASSEMBLY
There are two release slots located on the bottom of the thermostat. Gently push the flat blade
of a small screwdriver into one slot at a time and pry upward until the catch disengages.
Carefully swing the thermostat upward and away from the subbase. (Figure 1)
THERMOSTAT LOCATION
The 44-800 should be installed in a location that
represents the ambient space temperature. Do not
install the thermostat in an area where drafts are
present, near the floor, behind doors or on an external
wall. Avoid placing the thermostat in areas where the
air movement is limited, affected by direct sunlight or
other areas not typical of the temperature in the space.
MOUNTING THE SUBBASE
When mounting the 44-800 subbase, be aware that
drafts may travel down wall cavities and enter the back
of the thermostat through the control wire hole in
INSTALLING THE THERMOSTAT
FIGURE 1

the wall. It is important to seal the hole to prevent any drafts that might affect the internal
temperature sensor. Pull the control wires through the large opening in the thermostat
subbase. Next, level and mount the subbase on the wall using the supplied anchors and
screws. (Figure 2)
Do not over tighten the mounting screws as the subbase may warp causing the
improper seating of the thermostat
connecting pins to the terminal blocks.
Use a properly sized screwdriver and
back each screw terminal out (counter
clockwise) before landing each wire to its
dedicated terminal. Do not over tighten
the terminal screws.
Check to ensure that all wires are landed
correctly and dressed properly to prevent
any shorts.
Refer to Typical System Wiring Diagrams
in this manual for proper wiring.

The 44-800 comes with two AAA batteries. Insert the batteries as illustrated for primary or
backup power. Even if the thermostat is hardwired, battery backup is essential to maintain
the real-time clock in the event of a power failure. All other memory is non-volatile in the
event of battery or primary power loss. (Figure 3)

REMOTE SENSOR INSTALLATION
REMOTE SENSORS
There are two type of remote sensors. The RS-1 is a single sensor that can be used
indoors or outdoors. The RS-2 contains two sensors. A combination of both sensors can be
used for indoor temperature averaging with or without the onboard sensor. Use separate
18-2 shielded cable when wiring sensors.
INDOOR SENSOR WIRING
When the RS-1 is used as an indoor sensor, the 44-800 can be configured to allow only
the remote sensor to control the temperature or a combination of remote and onboard
sensors can be used for temperature averaging. Refer to 16:TT in the installer setup menu
to select the proper remote sensor option. Indoor sensor wires to terminals S1 and SC.

Note
If using outside air or remote room
temperature sensor(s) battery life will be
drastically reduced.
If using remote sensors it is highly
recommended to power the 44-800 from 24V

REMOTE SENSOR INSTALLATION
Locate the sensor in the same manner as the thermostat. Mount the sensor 300mm away
from any outside wall. Do not install the sensor behind doors, in corners or other dead air
spaces. Keep the sensor away from direct air flow, supply registers or near sources of heat
such as lamps and appliances. The maximum wire length from the sensor to the
thermostat is 30meters. Use a separate 18-2 shielded cable for sensor wiring. Prior to
wiring the sensor to the thermostat, use an ohm-meter or multimeter to measure the
resistance of the sensor. Measure at the end of the wires that will connect to the
thermostat. Confirm the resistance value (within 5%) to the temperature where the sensor
is mounted. Use a quality digital electronic thermometer to read the temperature at the
sensor. Remove the sensor cover and place the thermometer probe next to the remote
sensor to verify an accurate reading. Disconnect power to the thermostat when wiring the
sensor to the proper sensor terminals. Strip only as much insulation off of the wires as
necessary to provide a good contact with the terminals. The sensor is not polarity specific
so either sensor lead may be connected to either designated terminal on the thermostat.
48

USING MULTIPLE SENSORS FOR TEMPERATURE AVERAGING
Multiple indoor remote sensors can be wired in series/parallel for temperature averaging.
The total value of the sensors must equal 10kÙ @ 25° C. The onboard sensor is not part of
the equation even if it is configured as part of the averaging circuit. Figure 6 illustrates two
RS-2 sensors used for averaging.

Touch MODE until Cool appears. Touch the DOWN arrow and lower the setpoint a few
degrees below the space temperature. After a brief moment, the internal fan ‘G’ and cooling
‘Y’ relay will energize. The word Cool will flash. If the thermostat has been configured for
two stage cooling, lower the set point a few degrees and the second stage cooling relay ‘A’
will energize. Cool will flash twice, pause and repeat the sequence to indicate second
stage has been energized.
TESTING CONVENTIONAL HEAT PUMP OPERATION
When the 44-800 is configured for conventional heat pump operation, testing is the same
as a heating and cooling system with the exception that the fan “G’ relay is always
energized with compressor, auxiliary and emergency heat calls.
TESTING FOSSIL FUEL OPERATION
This is NOT typically used in Australia.
When the 44-800 is configured for fossil fuel operation, testing is the same as a

TESTING
conventional heat pump system with the exception that the heat pump is never allowed to
run when the fossil fuel furnace is energized. Whenever the thermostat calls for second
stage (auxiliary) heat, the compressor ‘Y’ relay is de-energized along with the fan ‘G’ relay
and the ‘A’ relay energizes the fossil fuel furnace. With the installation of an outdoor sensor,
both high and/or low balance point control can be used to prioritize heat pump or fossil fuel
operation based on a selected outdoor temperature.
TESTING LOW BALANCE POINT (Heat Pump or Fossil Fuel)
When an outdoor sensor is used with the 44-800, Installer Option 18:LB allows you to
select a low balance point temperature. When the outdoor temperature falls below the low
balance point setting, a call for heat from the thermostat automatically energizes the
auxiliary heat ‘A’ relay. To test the low balance point setting, set 18:LB above the displayed
outdoor temperature and force a call for heating. The ‘A’ relay will energize the compressor
‘Y’ relay will be bypassed. Set 18:LB below the displayed outdoor temperature and force a
call for heating. The compressor ‘Y’ relay will energize and the ‘A’ relay will not energize as
long as the thermostat does not call for second stage. After testing, reset the low balance
point temperature to a normal operating range.

TESTING
TESTING HIGH BALANCE POINT (Heat Pump or Fossil Fuel)
High balance point is designed to prevent the auxiliary heat ‘A’ relay from energizing when
the outdoor temperature is above the balance point setting. To test the high balance point
setting, set 19:HB below the displayed outdoor temperature and force a call for second
stage heating. The ‘A’ relay will not energize and only the compressor ‘Y’ and fan ‘G’ relays
will be active. If the thermostat is placed in the E.heat mode, the high balance point is
ignored and the ‘A’ relay will energized on a call for heat. After testing, reset the high
balance point temperature to a normal operating range.
Adaptive Recovery is only available in programmable mode (Installer Menu 12:RC = ON).
The Adaptive Recovery function of the 44-800 permits the user to program a time that a
desired set temperature is required. The thermostat then calculates the most energy
efficient time to bring on the equipment to reach the set point at the designated time. This
calculation involves a complex control algorithm that compares the space temperature
deviation from set point and rate of recovery history.

BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM POSSIBLE FAULT AND REMEDY
No LCD display If thermostat is battery powered only, remove battery compartment
and check to see that the positive (+) and negative (-) ends of each
battery are oriented properly. If thermostat is hardwired, remove the
thermostat from the subbase and check for 24 Volts across terminals
‘C’ and ‘R’. If no voltage, fault could be equipment or wiring related.
Thermostat can not be set In the Installer Options menu, set 4:FN = A for auto changeover.
