Installation

Choosing Location for the New Thermostat
Thermostat should be mounted:
• Approximately 5 ft (1.5m) from oor.
• Near or in a frequently used room, preferably on an inside partitioning wall.
• On a section of wall without pipes or duct-work.
Thermostat should NOT be mounted:
• Near a window, on an outside wall, or next to a door leading outside.
• With exposure to direct light or heat from a lamp, sun, replace, or other temperature-radiating objects which
may cause false readings.
• Near or in direct airow from supply registers and return-air grills.
• Near concealed pipes and chimneys.
• In areas with poor air circulation, such as behind a door or in an alcove.
After choosing a location for the new thermostat, you must arrange to have a heating contractor install the
control wiring for you.
Installation
TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK OR DEATH, SHUT OFF POWER
SUPPLY AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST
THAT THE POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING.

8
Replacing Old Thermostat
Note: Do not operate the cooling system when outside temperature is below 10ºC (50ºF) to avoid damaging the
compressor.
• Test the system to make sure that your heating and cooling are working properly before installation. If either
does not work, contact your local heating/air-conditioning dealer to x the problem before installation.
• TURN OFF POWER to system at the furnace, or at the fuse/circuit breaker panel.
• Carefully unpack your new thermostat and mounting plate; save packaging of screws, instructions and receipt.
• Remove cover from old thermostat. If it does not snap off when pulled rmly from the bottom, check for a
screw used to secure the cover.
• Loosen screws holding thermostat to the wall and lift away the thermostat.
• Disconnect wires from old thermostat or sub-base. As you disconnect each wire, use masking tape to label them
with the old terminal designation. If there are only two wires, they don’t need to be labeled.
• If there is an extra wire that is not connected to your old thermostat, then you won’t need to connect it to the
new thermostat.
• Take care not to let the wires fall back into the wall or let the ends of the wires touch one another.
• The wires are usually designated 'W', 'Y', 'G', 'RH', 'RC', 'O', 'B', 'H1', 'H2'.

Installation
Mounting the Thermostat Back-cover
• The back-cover should be mounted horizontally with the
terminals on the left side.
• Thread the existing wiring through the big center hole
from the back and set the back-cover horizontally on the
wall.
• Select two appropriate mounting holes and mark the
locations with a pencil. If necessary, use a level to
make sure the thermostat is leveled.
• Remove the back-cover from the wall and drill two 3/16
inch holes in the marked screw positions. Insert the
wall-anchors into the holes completely. If necessary,
use a hammer to tap-in lightly.
• Mount the back-cover with the two screws to the wall.
Make sure the metal terminals are on the left side.

10
Connecting the Wires to the Terminals
Connect the previously labeled wires to the corresponding terminals,
matching the designations.
Use a screwdriver to securely fasten the wires onto the terminals. Make
sure the wires do not short-circuit with other terminals.
• Depending on your heating/cooling equipment, you may need to connect
2 to 5 wires to the thermostat.
• If your old thermostat has a ‘C’ wire. Please wrap it with electrician’s
tape as it is not used with this thermostat.
• If you have both an ‘Rh’ and ‘Rc’ wires, you may connect them together to
the ‘R’ terminal of thermostat.
• If you are unsure of the connections, or for new installation, you may refer
to the wiring diagrams on the next page.

Setting the Fan Operation Jumper
Depending on your home’s heating system, you may need to change the jumper setting for the fan operation.
The jumper is located at the lower left-hand side of the back of the thermostat.
HG - Use this setting for gas or oil-fired furnaces.
This setting allows the fan operation to be controlled by the heating system; not the thermostat.
This is the correct setting for most systems.
HE - Use this setting for electric heating systems.
With this setting, the thermostat will turn on the fan immediately with the heating system.
The jumper is pre-installed in the ‘HG’ position as a factory default.
So there is no need to change the jumper if this is the correct setting.
To change the jumper setting, pull out the small black rectangular block
and align it to the new position and push it in fully.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY AND SELECTION OF ºC / ºF DISPLAY
Install the two AA size batteries (not included) to the thermostat following the polarity as marked. The LCD display
will show the room temperature flashing in Celsius. Press UP or DOWN to change the temperature display between
ºC and ºF.
Press DISPLAY or wait for 16 seconds, and the thermostat would go to its normal display, showing Monday 9:00 A.M.
Note: This is a one-time process. The temperature unit of the thermostat CANNOT be changed afterwards unless you
reset the thermostat.
ATTACHING THE THERMOSTAT TO THE BACK-COVER
Line up the front face of the thermostat squarely to the mounted back plate and press it rmly in place.
The thermostat should snap be closed and there should not be any signicant gaps or looseness between the front
face and the back-cover.

thermostat is pre-programmed for your convenience or you can set your own programs as desired.
PROGRAM1: MORNING This is typically for the morning when you may prefer a
warmer temperature.
PROGRAM2: DAY This is an energy-savings mode for the time you are away from home.
The setting can be adjusted to minimize energy consumption.
PROGRAM3: EVENING This is for the time you return home and want the house at a comfortable
temperature, typically warmer settings during winter and cooler settings
during summer.
PROGRAM4: NIGHT This is a sleep mode. You may choose to set temperature for energy
savings or comfort as desired.
NOTE:
• The 4 programs for weekdays and the 4 programs for weekends are independent.
You may set them to the same or different time/temperature combination.
