INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (cont)
REPLACING THE THERMO-
STAT ON SUBBASE
1. Position the thermostat on the
hinged tabs at the top of the
subbase.
2. Gently swing the thermostat
down and press on the bottom
center until it snaps into place.
THERMOSTAT COVER LOCK
You may lock the cover down to
prevent unauthorized access to
the thermostat by adding the
plastic lock (included in the instal-
lation bag). Insert the plastic lock
piece into the bottom of the
mounted base. The ends of the
lock piece fit snugly under the
lock pins extending from the bot-
tom of the mounted base. The
tab in the middle of the lock piece
extends down from the base.
To release the locking mecha-
nism, press the lock piece up and
into the base while gently prying
open.
THERMISTOR MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
When placing the front cover on the thermostat ensure the
thermistor is not bent or misaligned.
Ensure that the thermistor does not touch the thermostat case.
The thermistor should be placed horizontal to the wall. Ensure the
thermistor is not pushed upward into the case.
The thermistor should be aligned so it is visible between the ribs
on the bottom of the subbase.

WIRING DIAGRAM
Notes about the wiring diagram
• The Wiring Diagram shows how the R and 24V terminals are connected
when the shunt is in place and the thermostat and subbase are
snapped together. The dotted lines show the factory-supplied internal
connections.
• If the 24V(c) is not available from the equipment, the shunt may be
removed and a separate 24V transformer must then be used to power
the thermostat. To remove jumper (labeled JP1) from the printed circuit
board, pull straight out.
• This thermostat may be used with 24 Volt DC. The negative side of the
DC supply must be wired to the 24V (c) terminal.

CAUTION
Power is supplied through the thermostat to the
remote devices. DO NOT connect any other 24V
source to the remote devices.
USER CONTROLS (cont)
OUTDOOR (ODT) BUTTON
If your thermostat has been installed with an electronic outdoor
remote sensor (Uni-Line part #10-529), you may view the outdoor
temperature simply by pressing the OUTDOOR button. Upon
releasing the button, the thermostat will once again display the
indoor temperature.
If the option is not connected, the thermostat will display
(
---.
DAY/NIGHT BUTTON
2©
When the thermostat is initially installed, the display will show the
2
symbol for your day temperature. By pressing the DAY/NIGHT
button you may select an alternate or night
©
temperature (the
thermostat will remember this setpoint). Simply press the
DAY/NIGHT button to alternate between temperature settings.
CELSIUS / FAHRENHEIT
Simultaneously press
¨ and § to switch between Celsius (C) and
Fahrenheit (F) temperature display.
REMOTE SENSOR (OPTION)
RS1 – RS2 – RS+V
The thermostat is designed to accept the electronic remote sen-
sor (Uni-Line part #10-528) which will allow you to locate your
thermostat in an area away from view. Indoor and outdoor sen-
sors are available separately.
CLOCK TERMINALS (OPTION) CLK1 – CLK2
Your thermostat is equipped with a dry contact closure input. By
connecting to any relay-based controller or clock timer, the ther-
mostat can be alternated between the day and night (setback)
temperature setpoints automatically. Upon initial power up of the
thermostat or after a power failure, the thermostat will check the
clock terminals and apply the day (open contact) or night (closed
contact) temperature setpoints accordingly.
ECONOMY / COMFORT
In the economy mode (switch #5 OFF) your thermostat will not
allow the equipment to be forced on with a change to the temper-
ature setpoint. In the comfort mode, the equipment will turn on
immediately with a change to the temperature setpoint.
TEMPERATURE ACCURACY
Full temperature accuracy will be realized only after the thermo-
stat has been installed and powered for at least one (1) hour.
ADD-ON HEAT PUMPS
Your DSL thermostat is equipped to enhance the performance of
an add-on heat pump. Your thermostat, in most applications, will
perform the function of a fossil fuel kit.
To select ADD-ON, place switch #1 to the ON position. The ther-
mostat will turn the compressor off with a call for auxiliary heat.
When the switch is set to NORMAL, the thermostat will allow the
compressor and the auxiliary heat to be on at the same time.
POWER FAILURES
Your thermostat employs the latest in solid state electronic
technology.
One of the unique features of your thermostat is that no battery is
required to maintain your selected setpoints in the event of a
power loss as the memory is unaffected by power failures of any
duration.
When power is restored, the thermostat will continue operating as
if the power had never been off.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LOCATION
To ensure proper operation, the thermostat should be mounted on
an inside wall in a frequently occupied area of the building. In
addition, its position must be at least 18" (46cm) from any outside
wall, and approximately 5' (1.5m) above the floor in a location
with freely circulating air of an average temperature. You should
avoid the following locations:
– behind doors or in corners where freely circulating air is
unavailable;
– where direct sunlight or radiant heat from appliances might
affect control operation;
– on an outside wall;
– adjacent to, or in line with, conditioned air discharge grilles,
stairwells, or outside doors;
– where its operation may be affected by steam or water pipes or
warm air stacks in an adjacent partition space, or by an area
behind the thermostat which is not climate controlled;
– where its operation will be affected by the supply air of an adja-
cent climate control HVAC device; and
– near sources of electrical interference such as arcing relay
contacts.
REMOVING THE THERMOSTAT FROM THE SUBBASE
1. Insert a flat blade screwdriver or coin 1/8" into the slot located
in the bottom center of the thermostat case and twist 1/4 turn.
When you feel or hear a click, grasp the case from the bottom
two corners and separate from the subbase. Some models
require more force than others when separating due to the
number of terminals on the subbase.
2. Swing the thermostat out from the bottom.
3. Lift the thermostat up and off the subbase.
4. Place the rectangular opening in the subbase over the equip-
ment control wires protruding from the wall and, using the sub-
base as a template, mark the location of the two mounting
holes (exact vertical mounting is necessary only for appear-
ance).
5. Use the supplied anchors and screws for mounting on drywall
or plaster; drill two 3/16" (5mm) diameter holes at the marked
locations; use a hammer to tap the nylon anchors in flush to
the wall surface and fasten subbase using the supplied screws.
(Do not overtighten!)
6. Connect the wires from your system to the thermostat termi-
nals. Carefully dress the wires so that any excess is pushed
back into the wall cavity or junction box. Ensure that the wires
are flush to the plastic subbase. The access hole should be
sealed or stuffed to prevent drafts from affecting the thermo-
stat.
7. Before the thermostat is reinstalled on the subbase, install the
optional clock/timer, indoor remote sensor and outdoor remote
sensor, if used. Refer to the installation instructions supplied
with each option. Also check the position of the DIP switches
on the back of the thermostat.
