INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT!
• Please read all of these instructions carefully before beginning
installation.
• Label every wire terminal designation on your existing thermostat
wiring before removing your old thermostat.
• Ignore the color of the wires since they may not comply with any
standard. Please connect wires using the terminal letter
designations.
Thank you for your confidence in our product. To obtain the best results
from your investment, please read and follow the installation procedures
carefully, and one step at a time. This will save you time and minimize the
chance of damaging either the thermostat or possibly your heating and
cooling system. These instructions may contain information beyond that
which may be required for your particular installation.

TOOLS YOU MAY NEED:
FEATURES:

On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in place of the old
one unless the conditions listed below suggest otherwise. On new
installations, please follow these general guidelines:
1. Mount the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor.
2. Do not locate the thermostat where air circulation is poor such as in a
corner, alcove, or behind a door that is normally left open.
3. Do not locate the thermostat where unusual heating or cooling conditions
may be present, such as: direct sunlight, above a lamp, television, or
radiator, or on a wall next to an exterior door or window.
4. Do not locate in a damp environment, as this can lead to corrosion that
may shorten thermostat life.
5. If painting or construction work is still ongoing, cover the thermostat
completely or wait until this work is complete before installation.
WARNING:
All wiring must conform to the local codes and ordinances that are in your
particular location.
1. Turn OFF the electricity to all heating and cooling
components. Do not turn the electricity back on
until all work is completed.
2. Remove the front portion of your old thermostat to
expose the wiring connections.
3. Write down the letters printed near each wire
terminal that is used, and also the color of each
wire that is connected to it. Self-adhesive wire
labels are also enclosed.
4. Carefully remove the wires one at a time, and bend them in a manner so
that they do not fall back inside the wall. Do not allow bare wire ends to
touch each other.
5. Loosen the mounting screws for the old thermostat and carefully remove
it from the wall.

1. Strip wire insulation leaving only 3/8 in. (9.5mm) bare wire ends, and
clean off any corrosion present.
2. Fill the wall opening with non-combustible insulation to prevent drafts
from affecting the thermostat’s normal operation.
3. Route the wires through the opening in the new thermostat base plate, and
hold the base against the wall. Try to line up the screw holes from the
prior thermostat, and install the mounting screws.
4. If the previous holes cannot be used, hold the thermostat base against the
wall so that it appears straight and level (position the base for best
appearance) and mark for the new screw holes. Attach the base to the
wall using the screws provided (use the supplied plastic anchors if needed
when mounting to a soft material such as drywall).

CONNECTING THE WIRES:
When attaching the wires to the thermostat, please ensure that the bare wire
ends are held ALL the way into the terminal block while the screw is being
tightened.
WIRING BASE PLATE NOTICE:
This thermostat model is part of a family of similar models that have the
same general visual appearance. Even though this base plate may look the
same as base plates from other models, the wiring connections may have
different terminal letters for different purposes. Please do not interchange
the back plates and/or thermostat front halves of other similar looking
models. Doing so may cause undesired heating and/or cooling operation to
occur.

WIRING INFORMATION:

WIRING DIAGRAM NOTES:
(Important, please read all notes before connecting wires)
• If the information provided in the following wiring diagrams does not
clearly represent or match your system, please refer to the “TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE” section of this manual, and contact us before removing any
of your existing thermostat wiring.
• All of the dashed wires shown in the wiring diagrams are either optional,
or their usage depends upon your specific system type or brand. For
example: Diagram #1 shows the fan wire as optional. If your system does
not have a fan, than this terminal will not be used.
• Terminal letters shown in black represent typical wiring applications.
Depending upon the brand of your specific system or thermostat, your
terminal letters may not match exactly. Terminal letters shown in gray
represent other possible wiring designations that you might see on your
existing thermostat terminals.
• The optional “C” terminal is used for powering the thermostat by the 24-
volt system, using the System Common wire. This can be used alone, or
in addition to installing batteries as a backup. NOTE: connecting the
System Common wire to the thermostat is not necessary for heating and
cooling to function properly.
• If your old thermostat has both a “Y” and “C” wire present, then “C” is
most likely a System Common wire.
• For Heat Pump systems, you will use either the “O” terminal or the “B”
terminal on this thermostat, but not both. If your old thermostat has both
an “O” and a “B” wire present, then “B” is likely a System Common wire
and may be connected to the “C” terminal. Connecting a System Common
wire to this thermostat’s “B” terminal may damage the thermostat, and
also your heating and cooling system.
• Some Heat Pump systems have a wire for AUX electric heat (usually W2),
and also a separate wire for Emergency electric heat (usually E). This
thermostat uses the W2 terminal for both AUX and Emergency Heat. Tape
off your “E” wire, and confirm that all components function without it.
• If replacing an old thermostat that has a mechanical clock, there may be
two wires labeled as “C” for the clock power. Tape off these wires and do
not connect them to the “C” terminal of this thermostat.
