MERCURY NOTICE
When this control is replacing an old control that contains mercury in a sealed tube, do
not dispose of your old control in the trash. Dispose of properly. Contact your local waste
management authority for instructions regarding recycling and proper disposal of the old
control.
A listing of heating, ventilating and air conditioning wholesalers that participate in the
Thermostat Recycling Corporation’s recycling program are available at
www.thermostat-recyle.org.

c. Pull wires through hole in center of wall plate.
d. Locate the new wall plate over existing opening.
e. Mark two holes with pencil.
f. Use a level to verify that the two hole locations are level.
g. Correct hole locations as needed.
6Prepare two mounting holes.
h. Drill 1/16” pilot holes in the two locations that were marked in step 9. If mounting to drywall with no
studs behind it, enlarge pilot holes to 1/8” for anchors (included with the thermostat).
i. If using anchors, screw them into the holes.
8Attach all wires securely to the new thermostat.
(See the Field Wiring Diagrams on the following page.)
Note: A wire must be connected to “24COM” to power the thermostat.
a. Use the information from the Field Wiring Diagrams to match the wires to the correct terminals.
b. Use 1/8” blade screwdriver to secure wires in terminals.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Improper wiring can lead to equipment damage. Follow the Terminal Connection information from step 6
carefully to ensure the control is wired properly. After wires are secure, bare wires MUST NOT touch each
other. See the Field Connection Wiring Diagrams on the following pages for specific system applications.
7Install new wall plate.
c. Pull wires through hole in center of wall plate.
d. Locate the new wall plate over existing opening.

Apply pressure at two tabs on top of wall plate to release it.
ÎNOTE: It is not recommended that this Z-waveTM thermostat be mounted onto metal structures.
Metal may adversely affect the radio frequency (RF) communication between the thermostat and the
Z-waveTM bridge.
3Remove existing wall plate.
ÎNote: During this process, make sure that the wires do not pull back into wall opening.
a. Detach all wires from wall plate.
b. Remove all screws attaching the wall plate to the wall and remove wall plate.

Enhanced Dehumidification Mode
When the AZEMT500B is connected to variable speed indoor products,
the enhanced dehumidification mode can reduce indoor airflow to improve
dehumidification during the cooling run cycle. When 24 VAC is present at the BK terminal,
(HC to H1 = N.C.) airflow will be 100 percent. When 24 VAC is removed from BK,
(HC to H1 = N.O.) airflow will be reduced by 20 percent. See Notes 11 and 12.
HC to H1 = N.C. when RH% is lower than RH% setpoint
HC to H1 = N.O. when RH% is higher than RH% setpoint
Not applicable with 2 step outdoor products combined
with legacy variable speed indoor products that require
BK for high stage airflow: System Types B, D, or F on page 4.
Enhanced Dehumidification Mode

Wire specification (RS1 & RS2): 2 conductors, 18 gauge wire. Make sure that the sensor wires have a cable separate from the thermostat
cable. Best results for distances of 100 feet or less. Accuracy may be affected for distances up to a maximum of 200 feet. Shielded cable is
recommended for distances over 100 feet and less than 200 feet.
CAUTION: Keep this wiring at least one foot away from large inductive loads such as electronic air cleaners, motors,
line starters, lightning ballasts, and large distribution panels. Failure to follow these wiring practices may introduce electrical
interference (noise) which can cause erratic system operation. Shielded cable is required if the above wiring guidelines cannot be
met. Be sure to ground only one end of the shield to the thermostat common terminal. Tape back the other end of the shield.
Remote Sensors Part Numbers
Remote Indoor Sensor: Use ZZSENSAL0400AA for indoor applications.
Remote Outdoor Sensor: Use BAYSEN01ATEMPA for outdoor applications.
ÎIMPORTANT: Make sure that the sensor wires have a cable separate from the thermostat cable.
ÎIMPORTANT: Follow directions below for averaging. These instructions replace the averaging information found in the Installer’s
Guide for the ZZSENSAL0400AA.
ÎNote: Remote Sensor 2 can be selected as an indoor sensor or an outdoor sensor.
Remote Temperature Sensor Connections and Operation:
A) Indoor sensor connected to RS1. Replaces internal sensor. RS2 not connected.
Remote Sensor 1 (RS1) replaces the internal
temperature sensor of the thermostat. This allows the
thermostat to be installed in a location different than
the area where the temperature will be measured. Use
ZZSENSAL0400AA. See Figure A.
B) Indoor sensor connected to RS2. Averages
temperature with internal sensor. RS1 not
connected.
RS2 is used as an indoor temperature sensor that
averages temperatures with the internal sensor. Use
ZZSENSAL0400AA. See Figure B.
If RS2 is set to indoor location (“IN” - Default selection in
the thermostat installation set up menu) and a sensor is
attached to the RS2 sensor terminals of the thermostat,
the RS2 temperature is averaged with the thermostats
internal temperature sensor.
C) Indoor sensors connected to RS1 and RS2.
Averages RS1 and RS2 sensor temperatures.
Internal sensor is not used.
Remote Sensor 1 (RS1) and Remote Sensor 2 (RS2)
are both used as indoor sensors. The RS1 temperature
and RS2 temperature is averaged. See Figure C.
D) Outdoor sensor connected to RS2. Reports
outdoor temperature to comfort control.
RS2 is used as an outdoor temperature sensor. Use
BAYSEN01ATEMPA. See Figure B.
If RS2 is set to outdoor location (“OUT” in the thermostat installation set up menu) and a sensor is attached to the RS2 sensor terminals
of the thermostat, the RS2 temperature is used to report outdoor temperature. It is also displayed on the thermostat main screen. See
Step 15 to configure for outdoor temperature sensing.
E) Indoor sensor connected to RS1 and Outdoor sensor connected to RS2. RS1 replaces the internal sensor. RS2 reads the
outdoor temperature.
Remote Sensor 1 (RS1) replaces the internal temperature sensor of the thermostat. This allows the thermostat to be installed in a
location different than the area where the temperature will be measured. Use ZZSENSAL0400AA.
RS2 is used as an outdoor temperature sensor. Use BAYSEN01ATEMPA. See Figure C.
If RS2 is set to outdoor location (“OUT” in the thermostat installation set up menu) and a sensor is attached to the RS2 sensor terminals
of the thermostat, the RS2 temperature is used to report outdoor temperature. It is also displayed on the thermostat main screen. See
Step 15 to configure for outdoor temperature sensing.

the board.
11 Turn power to heating and cooling system back on.
The thermostat display should turn on and begin displaying information. If the thermostat display does not come on, go back through the
installation steps and look for problems.
10 Attach the thermostat face to the wall plate.
a. Carefully align the face plate to the wall plate while aligning pins into wire terminals.
b. Once thermostat face is properly aligned, apply pressure at top and bottom of thermostat face
until it is secure.
