WIRING CONNECTIONS

Refer to equipment manufacturers' instructions for specific

system wiring information . After wiring, see CONFIGURA-

TION section for proper thermostat configuration.

For wiring diagrams, see next page .

Wiring diagrams shown are for typical systems and describe

the thermostat terminal functions .

INSTALLATION

Battery Location

2 "AA" alkaline batteries are included in the thermostat at

the factory with a battery tag to prevent power drainage .

Remove the battery tag to engage the batteries .

To replace batteries, set system to OFF, remove thermostat

from wall and install the batteries in the rear along the top of

the thermostat (see Figure 1) .

Remove Old Thermostat

A standard heat/cool thermostat consists of three basic parts:

1 . The cover, which may be either a snap-on or hinge type .

2 . The base, which is removed by loosening all captive

screws .

3 . The switching subbase, which is removed by unscrewing

the mounting screws that hold it on the wall or adapter

plate .

Before removing wires from old thermostat,

label each wire with the terminal designation from

which it was attached. Disconnect the wires from the old

thermostat one at a time .

Do not let wires fall back into

the wall.

Installing New Thermostat

1 . Pull the thermostat body off the thermostat base . Forcing

or prying on the thermostat will cause damage to the unit .

2 . Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole

locations on wall using base as a template .

3 . Move base out of the way . Drill mounting holes . If you

are using existing mounting holes and the holes drilled

are too large and do not allow you to tighten base snugly,

use plastic screw anchors to secure the base .

4 . Fasten base snugly to wall using mounting holes shown

in Figure 1 and two mounting screws . Leveling is for

appearance only and will not affect thermostat operation .

5 . Connect wires to terminal block on base using appropriate

wiring schematic (see diagrams on next page) .

6. Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire resis-

tant material (such as fiberglass insulation) to prevent

drafts from affecting thermostat operation .

7 . Carefully line the thermostat up with the base and snap

into place .
