INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION LOCATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Thermostat should be mounted:
•Onaninteriorwall,inafrequentlyoccupiedspace.
•Approximately5‘abovefloor.
•Atleast18”fromoutsidewall.
•Thermostatcanbemountedtoaverticaljunctionbox.
Do not mount thermostat:
•Behinddoors,incorners,orotherdeadairspaces.
•Indirectsunlight,nearlightingfixtures,orother
appliancesthatgiveoffheat.
•Onanoutsideorunconditionedareawall.
•Intheflowofasupplyregister,instairwells,ornear
outside doors.
•Onawallwithconcealedpipesorductwork.

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR (OPTIONAL)
Outdoortemperaturecanbemeasuredbyattachingan
8052sensortotheS1andS2terminals.Systemsetting
#05(Remotesensor)isusedtoenablesensor.
Heat pump models can use the outdoor temperature to
effectivelyutilizetheheatpump:
•WhentheoutdoortemperatureislessthantheLow
BalancePoint,theheatpumpwillbelockedoutand
onlyauxiliaryheatingwillbeused.
•WhentheoutdoortemperatureishigherthantheHigh
BalancePoint,theauxiliaryheatingwillbelockedout
andonlytheheatpumpwillbeusedtoprovideheating.
