IMPORTANT: If your thermostat is built into the wall and connected
to thick wires with wire nuts, or if it is labeled 110, 120, or 240 volts,
you have a high voltage system that is not compatible with the GLAS
Thermostat. Do not connect your thermostat to these high voltage wires.
GLAS is only compatible with 24VAC systems.
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock.
Disconnect the power supply before making electrical connections.
Contact with components carrying hazardous voltage can cause electric
shock and may result in severe personal injury or death. If you have any
doubts about properly installing the device, please contact a professional
installer.
