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.

On the thermostat’s circuit board, there is a row of DIP switches, labeled #1
through #8. The position of these switches will change how the thermostat
operates, and also how information is conveyed to you on the LCD display
screen. If you make any changes to these options, the changes are not
recognized unless you either: change the position of the HEAT/OFF/COOL
mode switch, or press the “HW RST” (Hardware Reset) button on the circuit
board. The use of this button is further
described in the “ADVANCED FEATURES”
section of this manual.
These option switches are very small and
should be moved carefully using objects
such as: eyeglass screwdriver, fine-point
pen, toothpick, or similar. The listing
below describes the available choices for
each option switch:
SWITCH #1 (SYSTEM): [OFF/RIGHT = FURN, default] This setting is used for
the majority of all heating systems that are not heat pumps. Examples for
this setting would be: natural gas furnace, hot water baseboard heat, and oil
heat. [ON/LEFT = HP] Use this setting if you have a heat pump unit (which
looks just like an outside air conditioning unit, but is used for both cooing
and heating).
SWITCH #2 (TYPE): [OFF/RIGHT = PROG, default] The thermostat controls
the room temperature by following temperature program periods that you set
up based upon your daily routine. [ON/LEFT = MAN] The thermostat
operates manually just like a mechanical or non-programmable model. This
method of operation is very basic and only shows the room temperature and
set temperature; there are no temperature programs, days of the week, or
clock times.
SWITCH #3 (PERIODS): [OFF/RIGHT = 4, default] The thermostat uses four
temperature program periods in both heating and cooling (MORN, DAY, EVE,
and NITE). Each period has a separate start time and a set temperature.
[ON/LEFT = 2] The thermostat operates in the same manner as above,
however there are only two temperature program periods for heating and
cooling (DAY and NITE). This may be more convenient if you are typically
home during the day, and only need the set temperature to be different while
you are sleeping.

HARDWARE SETUP OPTIONS:

SWITCH #4 (SCALE): [OFF/RIGHT = F, default] All temperature values are
displayed using the Fahrenheit scale. [ON/LEFT = C] This setting displays all
temperature values using the Celsius scale.
SWITCH #5 (TIME): [OFF/RIGHT = 12 HR, default] This setting displays the
clock times and temperature program period start time values on the screen
using US standard AM and PM values. [ON/LEFT = 24 HR] This setting
displays the clock and temperature program period start time values on the
screen using the 24 HR military-time format (17:30 hours, 22:00 hours,
without using AM/PM).
SWITCH #6 (DELAY): [OFF/RIGHT = 5 MIN, default] This sets the minimum
length of time that Heat or Cool must remain either On or Off, before it will
automatically switch to the alternate On or Off state. This internal delay
prevents rapid cycling of your system and provides equipment protection
particularly for cooling units. The 5-minute setting is fine for most
applications. [ON/LEFT = 2 MIN] If you feel that your system may need to
cycle more frequently than the thermostat is allowing, then you may use the
2-minute setting.
SWITCH #7 (RECOVERY): [OFF/RIGHT = DISABLE, default] The Early
Recovery feature affects how the thermostat transitions from an energy
saving setback (DAY and NITE) program period, to a comfort (MORN and
EVE) program period temperature, when it is following the daily temperature
programs. When this is disabled, the thermostat makes a set temperature
change at the beginning of an upcoming period's start time. [ON/LEFT =
ENABLE] The Early Recovery feature will calculate the capability of your
system and turn on the heating or cooling early so that the temperature in
your home reaches the desired set point as close as possible to the start of
the period. During the time that the thermostat is performing a recovery, the
words “IN RECOVERY” will be shown, alternating at the top of the display
with the current system mode.
SWITCH #8 (BATTERY MONITOR): [OFF/RIGHT = ON, default] This setting,
regularly monitors the battery level, and shows “LOW BAT” on the screen if
the batteries need to be replaced. Use this setting at all times when
batteries are present in the thermostat. [ON/LEFT = OFF] This setting only
applies if you are NOT physically using batteries in the thermostat, and are
powering the thermostat entirely from the system (“C” wire terminal).
18

GAS / ELEC SLIDE SWITCH (FAN OPERATION):
This switch is a physical component by itself on
the circuit board, and is much larger than the
DIP switches listed above. [DOWN = GAS,
default] This setting lets the heating system
control the blower fan automatically by itself.
Systems that would typically use the “GAS”
setting would be: natural gas, propane, or oil
furnaces. This setting has no effect upon Cool
mode operation. [UP = ELEC/HP] This setting
runs the system’s blower fan when heat is called
for, and is required for heating systems that do not control their own fan
while the thermostat is in HEAT mode. Heat pump systems, and units with
an electric heating element typically require this setting.
Once the hardware options are set, install two new Energizer®or DURACELL®
"AA" size alkaline batteries. Ensure that the batteries are installed in the
proper direction as per the markings shown in the battery tray. If the
batteries were already installed before changing the hardware setup options,
change the position of the HEAT/OFF/COOL System Mode switch to accept
the new hardware option switch settings.
These two items below are both located on the right side of the thermostat
housing.
HEAT / OFF / COOL, SYSTEM MODE SWITCH: Set this switch to HEAT to
control your heating system, and COOL to control your cooling system. The
OFF position will disable both the heating and cooling units.
AUTO / ON, FAN MODE SWITCH: When this switch is in AUTO, the blower fan
(if present in your system) will automatically cycle on and off by itself while
heating or cooling is running. When in the ON position, the blower fan will
run constantly with or without a demand for heating or cooling, even when
the System Mode switch is in the OFF position.

NOTE: The Fan Mode switch only works if your system provides a wire for
the thermostat’s “G” wire terminal, to control a blower fan. The Fan Mode
switch has no effect in systems that do not have a blower fan (such as a hot
water radiator system).
