Mounting
Quick Start
For optimum temperature sensor performance,
the FlexStat must be mounted on an interior wall
and away from heat sources, sunlight, windows,
air vents, and air circulation obstructions (e.g.,
curtains, furniture). Additionally, for a model with
an occupancy sensor option, install it where it will
have unobstructed view of the most typical traffic
area. (See the FlexStat Application Guide for more
information.)
If replacing an existing thermostat, label wires as
needed for reference when removing the existing
thermostat.
1. Complete rough-in wiring at each location prior
to thermostat installation. Cable insulation must
meet local building codes.
CAUTION
To prevent mounting screw heads from touching the
circuit board in the thermostat, use only the mounting
screws supplied by KMC Controls. Using other screws
may damage the FlexStat. Do not turn screws in
farther than necessary to remove the cover.
2. If the cover is locked on the backplate, turn the
hex screws in the bottom and top of the FlexStat
CLOCKWISE until they (just) clear the cover.
(See Illustration 1.) Pull the cover away from the
backplate (mounting base).
3. Route the wiring through the backplate.
4. With the embossed “UP” and arrows toward the
ceiling, fasten the backplate to a wall handy-box.
BAC-12xxxx models mount directly on vertical 2
x 4 inch boxes, but they require an HMO-10000/
HMO-10000W wall mounting plate for horizontal
or 4 x 4 boxes. BAC-13xxxx/14xxxx models mount
directly on any of those types of boxes.
5. Make the appropriate connections to the terminal
blocks. (See the Connections and Wiring section.)
6. Place the FlexStat cover over the backplate while
being careful not to pinch or dislodge any
wiring. Back the hex screws (counterclockwise)
out of the brackets until they engage the FlexStat
cover and hold it in place.

ONLY.
THESE MODELS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE
WITH THE BACKPLATES OF OLDER BAC-10000
SERIES FLEXSTATS (WITH ONLY 3 EXTERNAL
INPUTS)!
If replacing an older 3-input FlexStat,
replace the backplate as well. See other installation
guides for other models.
To select and use a FlexStat in an application:
1. Select the appropriate model for the intended
application and options (see the FlexStat Data

2. Mount and wire the unit (see this Installation
Guide).
3. Configure/program the unit (see the FlexStat
Operation and Application Guides).
4. If necessary, troubleshoot any issues (see the
FlexStat Operation Guide).
5. Operate the unit (see the FlexStat Operation
