ATTENTION INSTALLING PERSONNEL
As a professional installer you have an obligation to know the
product better than the customer. This includes all safety
precautions and related items.
Prior to actual installation, thoroughly familiarize yourself
with this Instruction Manual. Pay special attention to all
safety warnings. Often during installation or repair it is
possible to place yourself in a position which is more
hazardous than when the unit is in operation.
Remember, it is your responsibility to install the product
safely and to know it well enough to be able to instruct a
customer in its safe use.
Safety is a matter of common sense...a matter of thinking
before acting. Most dealers have a list of specific good
safety practices...follow them.
The precautions listed in this Installation Manual are in-
tended as supplemental to existing practices. However, if
there is a direct conflict between existing practices and the
content of this manual, the precautions listed here take
precedence.
RECOGN I ZE THI S SYM BOL
AS A SAFETY PRECAUTI ON.
The following installation instructions are for a typical
installation.
Please contact your PTAC salesperson for additional assis-
tance and explanation prior to ordering materials or cutting
openings.
1. ANTENNA INSTALLATION FOR DSA01NM KIT
An antenna must be installed on the digital PTAC to allow
operation of the DSA01NM remote RF thermostat.
PREPARATION
1. Disconnect power to the unit by unplugging the power
cord at the wall outlet or subbase, or disconnect power
at the fuse box or circuit breaker.
2. If the cabinet front is screwed to the chassis, remove
the 1/4” screw (or screws). See following figure.
Radio - Non Mesh
Antenna

Front Mounting Screw
accessed
through louvers.
3. Remove cabinet front from chassis by tilting the bot-
tom of the front forward, lifting slightly up and for-
ward.
4. Mount the antenna as high up on the control panel as
possible and as far to the right as possible in a location
that will not interfere with the reinstallation of the PTAC
polymer room front. Mark holes for screw location. Re-
move antenna housing and drill two 1/8” holes where
marked. Some units may have the holes already pre-
drilled in the correct location.

ANTENNA Mounting
5. Remove antenna cable and route cable through open-
ing in bottom of antenna housing.
6. Mount antenna housing with two screws as shown in
figure. (NOTE: The Amana®brand logo should be in
the lower right hand corner).
7. Plug wire harness from antenna into the white connec-
tor housing on the control board to the right of the
master switch, being careful not to bend and/or break
the wires when you connect the cable to the PTAC.
Gently push the connector into place by pushing on the
edge of the connector with your thumb nails. Avoid
pushing directly on the wires. The wire has a small
clasp that must be oriented to the front to slide into
the white housing properly.
8. Restore power to the PTAC unit.
9. Reinstall the polymer room cover.
NOTE: The LED must be oriented at the top o f t h e a n t e n n a
housing (the Amana®b r a n d l o g o w i l l b e o n t h e l o w e r r i g h t )
for proper unit operation.
2. THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION FOR DSA01NM
KIT
NOTE: An antenna must be installed on the digital PTAC
unit for the DSA01NM thermostat to be operable.
1. Select thermostat mounting location about five feet
above the floor, on an inside wall, out of direct sun-
light, away from sources of radiant heat (lamps, fire-
places, heating and air conditioning equipment, etc.),
away from windows or door to the outside, and avoid
areas with poor air circulation.
Ensure location is out of the path of foot traffic where
a person might accidentally bump into the thermostat
and damage the device but is visible and convenient
for the room guests to locate and operate.
2. Remove thermostat from mounting plate by pulling
apart at the bottom of the thermostat about 1”, and
slide thermostat up to release from the top of the
mounting plate.
3. Place thermostat mounting plate against the wall at
desired location and mark placement of mounting
holes. Make sure the UP arrow is pointing up on the
mounting plate.
4. When mounting, drill a 3/16” hole and tap plastic an-
chor into wall.
5. Screw mounting plate to the wall.
6. Install four (4) AA batteries (included) into the back of
the thermostat. Terminals are marked “+” and “-” for
polarity.
7. Prior to attaching the thermostat body to the wall plate,
follow the steps on page 3 of this document for bind-
ing the thermostat to the antenna. When these steps
are completed and the thermostat has been bound,
continue with verifying the unit’s operation.
8. Once the binding process has been completed and the
operation process has been verified, install the
DSA01NM thermostat to the wall plate by aligning the
top two tabs of the thermostat to the top two slots on
the mounting plate. Once the two tabs are aligned
with the two slots, press slightly downward so the tabs
fall into the slots. Press the bottom of the thermostat
toward the mounting plate until the bottom fasteners
snap securely into place.
NOTE: Do not install the thermostat on the wall plate until
the binding process has been completed and the operation
has been verified.

NOTE: The DSA01NM antenna is not designed to function
with an occupancy sensor (DD01x) or in an RF mesh. If you
require an energy management system or web based moni-
toring, you must install a DT01G RF wireless antenna (sold
separately).
3. BINDING OF RF DEVICE
RF TRANSMITS THROUGH WALLS.
The wireless device, DSA01NM, must be bound to the PTAC
for proper in-room communication. Ensure the PTAC unit is
powered but in the OFF position.
1. Press and hold OFF button on the PTAC until appears.
2. Press and then immediately release the white tactile
button on the back of the DSA01NM thermostat.
should now be displayed on the PTAC LED display. If
does not show on the display in 1-2 seconds, then press
and release the white button a second time. When
appears, press the OFF button on the PTAC to exit the
binding mode.
After the PTAC has finished a diagnostic review and
the LED display is back to a blank screen, proceed to
test the thermostat operation. See the following
DSA01NM GENERAL FUNCTIONS.
WHITE
TACTILE
BUTTON
DSA01NM GENERAL FUNCTIONS
The MODE button, located in the far left corner of the
thermostat, allows the user to choose between off cool and
heat positions.
1. The first push on any button on the thermostat turns
the backlight on.
2. The second push of the MODE button will then allow
the user to cycle through the modes of desired opera-
tion: OFF, COOL or HEAT.
NOTE: What you change on one device will update to the
other.
3. If the thermostat is functioning properly, mount the
thermostat body on the previously installed wall
plate.
4. CONFIGURATION
The PTAC control will automatically self-configure to work
with the wall thermostat (DSA01NM Kit) if installed and
bound.
