Introduction

This thermostat is compatible with electric baseboards, fan- forced (convectors) and radiant
floor/ceiling heating systems. The unit is rated for high voltage wiring only (120V / 240V).
The minimum load requirement is 500W. This thermostat is NOT compatible with central heating
systems (24 volt or millivolt). Please see the compatibility chart on the next page for more details.

Warning

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO HAVE A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN
ON SITE TO ENSURE THE SAFE INSTALLATION OF YOUR THERMOSTAT.

The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for improper wiring, or any resulting damages.
Improper installation by a non-professional automatically voids the warranty.

Choosing a location for the new thermostat

Thermostat should be mounted:

On the existing metal electrical box which controls your heater.

Note: Ensure the thermostat is not near heat sensitive / flammable material such as exposed wood,
wallpaper or a desk full of papers. The normal surface temperature of the thermostat 45°C - 50°C
(113°F - 122°F) while in operation. The thermostat is rated to operate safely at these temperatures
but should be kept away from fire hazards.

For NEW home installation, the metal electrical box and thermostat should NOT be mounted:

Near temperature-radiating objects which may cause false readings
(For example: in front of a window, next to a door leading outside, or near the heat from a lamp,
direct sunlight, or a fireplace)
Near concealed pipes and chimneys.
In areas with poor air circulation, such as behind a door or in an alcove.

INSTALLATION

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO HAVE A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN
ON SITE TO ENSURE THE SAFE INSTALLATION OF YOUR THERMOSTAT.

The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for improper wiring, or any resulting damages.
Improper installation by a non-professional automatically voids the warranty.

Before installation begins:

Verify that the heating appliance being connected to is within the specified load range
Ensure that the thermostat being replaced is also rated for 120 or 240 volts.
Ensure that the heating system is protected by appropriate circuit breakers or fuses
Connect to COPPER conductors only.

TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; SHUT OFF POWER SUPPLY
AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT THE POWER IS

*

OFF BEFORE WIRING.

INSTALLATION

Remove the old thermostat carefully and identify the

1

two wires from the wall box.
The wiring designation is generally:
BYPASS / CONNECT

Gently remove the faceplate from the new thermostat

2

but DO NOT remove the screws from the back of the
unit because these screws hold the thermostat
together.

Using the wire nuts provided, securely fasten each

3

wire from the new thermostat to the live wires in the
wall box. Refer to the diagram.

NOTE: ENSURE NO BARE WIRE IS EXPOSED.

*Note: If there are 4 wires connected to the old thermostat,
the 2 extra wires should be connected together a wire nut.
(not supplied)

4

Mount the thermostat into the wall box, using two
screws through the mounting holes, then replace the
faceplate. (Place screws in the 2 right or 2 left holes)
