TURN OFF POWER TO THE HEATING SYSTEM AT THE MAIN
POWER PANEL TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
All cables and connections must comply with local electrical
codes.
This thermostat has tinned copper wires for line and load connec-
tions. Special CO/ALR solderless connectors must be used if
these wires will be connected to aluminium conductors.
Install the thermostat onto an electrical box.
Install the thermostat about 1.5 m (5’) high, on an inside wall facing
the heater.
Avoid locations where there are air drafts (such as the top of a
staircase or an air outlet), dead air spots (such as behind a door),
or direct sunlight.
Do not install the thermostat on a wall that conceals chimney or
stove pipes.
The thermostat wires are not polarized; either wire can be con-
nected to the load or to the power supply.
