Make sure your Heater/Air Conditioner is working
properly before beginning installation of the
thermostat.
Carefully unpack the thermostat. Save the screws,
bracket, and instructions.
Turn off the power to the Heating/Air Conditioning
system at the main fuse panel. Most residential
systems have a separate breaker for disconnecting
power to the furnace.
Proper installation of the thermostat will be
accomplished by following these step by step
instructions. If you are unsure about any of these
steps, call a qualified technician for assistance.

Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat.
Tape the ends of the wires as you disconnect
them, and mark them with the letter of the

For additional flexibility, your thermostat has three configurable
outputs. These outputs are designed to have different functions
depending on how the jumpers are set (below).
Each output, labeled MISC1, MISC2, and MISC3 may be set for one
of the four choices available.
In the diagram below, the MISC3 jumper has been set for HUM*
(humidification) operation, the MISC2 jumper has been set for
DEHUM* (dehumidification) operation, and the MISC1 jumper has
been set for Y2 (second stage cooling) operation.

The 3rd Stage of Heat is turned on when:
(A) The 1st and 2nd stages have been on for the time required (steps 23
and 24, page 13.6). It is adjustable from 0-60 minutes and the default
is two minutes.
(B) The temperature from the setpoint is equal to or greater than: the set-
point plus the 1st stage deadband (step #20, 13.5), plus the 2nd stage
deadband (step #21, 13.5) plus the 3rd stage deadband (step #22,
13.5). This 3rd stage deadband is adjustable from 0-10 degrees and
the default is two degrees.
W3 JUMPER SETTING
If the jumper for MISC1, MISC2, or MISC3 is set to W3, the corresponding MISC screw
terminal on the backplate will control a third stage of heat.

Manual
HUMIDIFICATION OPERATION - SECTION 9 of the Owner’s Manual
If your HVAC unit is equipped with a humidification system and the Humidity
Module (sold separately) has been installed, the thermostat will provide power
to the MISC1, MISC2, or MISC3 terminal of the thermostat when the
humidity in the home falls below the humidity setpoint you have chosen.
The value for this setpoint ranges from 0% to 60%. If no humidity is desired or
if a humidification system has not been installed, set the value to OFF.
HUM JUMPER SETTING
If the jumper for MISC1, MISC2, or MISC3 is set to HUM, the corresponding MISC screw
terminal on the backplate will control a humidification system.

DEHUM JUMPER SETTING
Explanation of Jumper Settings (continued)Explanation of Jumper Settings (continued)
If the jumper for MISC1, MISC2, or MISC3 is set to DEHUM, the corresponding MISC screw
terminal on the backplate will be connected to the dehumidification terminal of a furnace
board.
NOTE: Not all furnaces have a dehumidification terminal.
DEHUMIDIFICATION OPERATION - SECTION 10 of the Owner’s Manual
If your HVAC unit is equipped with a dehumidification system the thermostat will
operate in one of two ways.
1) Normally Closed (NC): The thermostat will de-energize the MISC1, MISC2,
or MISC3 terminal of the thermostat (this MISC terminal is connected to the
DEHUM terminal on your furnace) to allow the fan to run in low speed when
the humidity in the home is above the dehumidify setpoint you have chosen
and there is a call for 1st stage cooling.
2) Normally Open (NO):
The thermostat will energize the MISC1, MISC2, or
MISC3 terminal of the thermostat (this MISC terminal is connected to the
DEHUM terminal on your furnace) to allow the fan to run in low speed when
the humidity in the home is above the dehumidify setpoint you have chosen
and there is a call for 1st stage cooling.
