OPERATION

.

1. Turn power off to the heating

and cooling systems.

2. Place COOL-OFF-HEAT

In OFF position.

3. Place

AUTO-ON switch

Into AUTO position.

4. Remove the cover using a coin

or screwdriver.

5. Place thermostat against the wall at desired location. Make sure

wires will feed through opening on base of thermostat.

6. Mark placement of mounting holes. See Fig. 3.

Set base aside.

7. Drill the marked holes using a 3/16" drill bit. NOTE: Enclosed plastic

anchors do not require drilled hole for drywall.

8. Tap plastic anchors into the wall.

9. Align base with plastic anchors and feed wires

through opening.

10. Secure base to wall with supplied screws.

11. Connect wires to terminal strip. Refer to wiring diagrams on other

side of this sheet. Make sure wire connections are secure.

12. Place fan option switch into either the "ELEC" or "GAS" position

depending upon the type of furnace. Refer to Figure 4

figure 4

13. Put the °F/°C switch to either °F for Fahrenheit display

or °C for Celsius display readout.

14. Put the HP/NON HP switch to either the HP for Heat Pump or NON

HP for furnace applications in the proper position.

15. Install two “AA” ENERGIZER brand batteries or equivalent into bat-

tery compartment. Be sure to match positive (+) ends of batteries
with positive (+) battery terminals in the battery compartment. The
display will show as follows:

16. Replace cover onto thermostat by snapping into place.

17. Turn on power to system . Test thermostat as described in

the following section.

To Test Thermostat

WARNING: DO NOT SHORT (JUMPER) ACROSS TERMINALS OF GAS VALVE OR SYS-
TEM CONTROL TO TEST OPERATION. THIS WILL DAMAGE THE THERMOSTAT AND
VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

CAUTION: D

O NOT SWITCH SYSTEM TO COOL IF THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW

50°F (10°C). T

HIS

CAN DAMAGE THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY

.

1. Place the COOL-OFF-HEAT switch

into the COOL position

2. Press the

button until the

temperature setting is at least
3 degrees below the room temperature.
The air conditioning system should
turn on within a few seconds.

NOTE: When in the COOL mode (or HEAT and COOL for single stage heat
pumps), once the thermostat turns off, a built in 5-minute delay prevents
the system from turning on again. This protects the compressor. No addi-
tional time delay relay is required. To override the 5-minute delay for
installation, press the reset button.

3. Put the COOL-OFF-HEAT switch

into the OFF position. The air
conditioning system should turn off.

4. Put the COOL-OFF-HEAT switch

into the HEAT position.

5. Press the

button until the

temperature setting is at least
3 degrees above room temperature.
The heating system should turn on.
The fan may not turn on immediately,
depending upon the fan delay built
into the furnace.

6. Put the COOL-OFF-HEAT switch

into the OFF position. The heating
system should turn off. The fan may
continue to run for a short period
of time .

7. Put the

AUTO-ON switch to

the ON position. The blower fan
should turn on.

8. Put the

AUTO-ON switch to

the AUTO position. The blower fan
should turn off.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING:

• Always turn off power at the main power source by unscrewing

fuse or switching circuit breaker to the off position before installing,
removing, cleaning or servicing thermostat.

• Read all of the information in this manual before installing or pro-

gramming this thermostat

• This is a 24V AC low-voltage thermostat. Do not install on voltages

higher than 30V AC.

• All wiring must conform to local and national building and electrical

codes and ordinances.

• Do not short (jumper) across terminals on the gas valve or at the

system control to test installation. This will damage the thermostat
and void the warranty.
