To Remove Existing Thermostat
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD – Turn off power at the main service panel by removing the fuse
or switching the appropriate circuit breaker to the OFF position before removing the existing
thermostat.
1. Turn off power to the heating and cooling system by removing the fuse or switching the appropriate
circuit breaker off.
2. Remove cover of old thermostat. This should expose the wires.
3. Label the existing wires with the enclosed wire labels before removing wires.
4. After labeling wires, remove wires from wire terminals.
5. Remove existing thermostat base from wall.
6. Refer to the following section for instructions on how to install this thermostat.
To Install Thermostat
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD – Turn off power at the main service panel by removing the fuse
or switching the appropriate circuit breaker to the OFF position before removing the existing
thermostat.
IMPORTANT: Thermostat installation must conform to local and national building and electrical
codes and ordinances.
Note: Mount the thermostat about five feet above the floor. Do not mount the thermostat on an
outside wall, in direct sunlight, behind a door, or in an area affected by a vent or duct.
1. Turn off power to the heating and cooling system by removing the fuse or switching the appropriate
circuit breaker off.

To Install Thermostat (continued)
2. To remove cover, insert and twist a coin or screwdriver in the slots on the sides of the thermostat.
3. Put thermostat base against the wall where you plan to mount it (Be sure wires will feed through the
wire opening in the base of the thermostat).
4. Mark the placement of the mounting holes.
5. Set thermostat base and cover away from working area.
6. Using a 3/16” drill bit, drill holes in the places you have marked for mounting.
7. Use a hammer to tap supplied anchors in mounting holes.
8. Align thermostat base with mounting holes and feed the control wires through wire opening.
9. Use supplied screws to mount thermostat base to wall.
10. Insert stripped, labeled wires in matching wire terminals. See “Wiring Diagrams” section of this
manual (Page 5).
CAUTION! : Be sure exposed portion of wires does not touch other wires.
11. Tighten screws on terminal block. Gently tug wire to be sure of proper connection. Double check that
each wire is connected to the proper terminal.
12. Seal hole for wires behind thermostat with non-flammable insulation or putty.
13. Set Gas/Electric switch. Set to gas for oil or gas systems. Set to electric for heat pumps or electric
heat systems.
14. Replace cover on thermostat by snapping it in place.
15. Turn on power to the system at the main service panel.
16. Test thermostat operation as described in “Testing the Thermostat” (Page 11).

1. Remove cover from remote sensor housing.
2. Select an appropriate location for mounting the remote sensor.
3. Mount remote sensor unit using hardware provided.
4. Install two strand shielded wire between remote sensor and thermostat. Shielded wire must be used.
Do not run remote sensor wire in conduit with other wires.
• Wire 1 should run between the S1 terminal on the thermostat and the S1 terminal on the
remote sensor
• Wire 2 should run between the S2 terminal on the thermostat and the S2 terminal on the
remote sensor
• Connect the shielding of the wire to the S2 terminal on the thermostat
5. Disable the main sensor (R12) on the thermostat by cutting it from the circuit board.

1. Temperature scale (F or C) – Choose Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Press the or button to select.
Press the button to advance to the next screen.
2. Differential (1°F - 5°F) (1°C - 3°C) – Set the number of degrees between your “turn on”
temperature and your “setpoint” temperature.
Press the or button to set differential value.
Press the button to advance to the next screen.
3. Deadband (1°F - 9°F) (1°C - 5°C) – Set the minimum number of degrees between your heating
system activation and your cooling system activation.
Press the or button to set deadband value.
Press the button to advance to the next screen.
