PCM - PLENUM PRESSURIZATION
INSTALLATION & MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Thermostat Installation
General Description
The PCM Thermostats are all physically the same size and
mounting instructions will be typical.
Location
1. The PCM Thermostats must be mounted to a wall and
wired to the controller via the supplied plenum rated
CFLEX cable. This cable plugs into the thermostat and the
PCM controller with the ease of RJ-45 connections.
NOTE: The cable run can be extended using a Price cable
coupler and an additional CFLEX cable.
2. Mount the required thermostat in a place that is
convenient for the end user, but the following should be
taken into consideration:
• Do not mount a thermostat in direct sunlight i.e. across
from a window where heat can alter the temperature
reading.
• Should not be installed on an outside wall.
• Keep away from hot equipment like computers,
monitors and heaters etc.
• Ensure nothing will restrict vertical air circulation to the
thermostat. (Do Not Cover)
• Ensure wall is NOT pressurized! Hot/Cold air from a
pressurized wall will blow directly onto the thermostat’s
temperature sensor causing inaccurate readings.
Installation
1. The back plate on each thermostat is removable and can
be mounted to a standard electrical box or directly to
drywall using anchors supplied by others.
2. Run the CAT-5 cable through the center hole in the plate
and connect the cable to the thermostat. Then, secure the
thermostat onto the wall plate by inserting the top portion
of the thermostat first, then snapping the bottom half in.
3. All thermostats will come equipped with a 0.050 in. Allen
Key for the set screw at the bottom.
Careful thermostat installation will reduce field issues! Do
not twist or kink the blue CAT-5 thermostat cable. Damaged
cables are difficult to troubleshoot!

Thermostat Installation
Location
1. The Price Analog Controller (PAC) Thermostats mu st be mounted to a wall and wired to the PAC
controller. The connecting cable screws into the thermostat and the PAC controller with the
supplied terminal blocks. Note: the cable run can beup to 70 ft.
2. Mount the required thermostat in a place that is convenient for the end user, but the following
should be taken into consideration:
•Do not mount a thermostat in direct sunlight i.e. across from a window where heat can
alter the temperature reading.
•Should not be installed on an outside wall .
•Keep away from hot equipment like computers, monitors and heaters etc.
•Ensure nothing will restrict vertical air circulationto the thermostat. (Do Not Cover)
•***Ensure wall is NOT pressurized! Hot/cold air fr om a pressurized wall will direct
blow onto the thermostat’s temperature sensor causi ng ‘bad’ readings. ***
Installation
1. The back plate on each thermostat is removable and can be mounted to a standard electrical box
or directly to drywall using anchors supplied by ot hers.
2. Run the cable through the center hole in the plate. Connect the cable to the thermostat, and then
secure the thermostat onto the wall plate inserting the top portion of the thermostat first, and then
snapping the bottom half in.
3. The thermostat will come equipped with a 0.050” Allen key for the set screw at the bottom.
How to use the Dial Thermostat
•The Dial Thermostat is powered from the PACcontroller.
•Measures room temperature and features a dial adju stment and an occupancy
button.
•Temperature Setpoint limits can be adjusted throug h free setup software using
the Price LINKER, or through an LCD Setup Stat.
•Simply use the adjustable dial for temperature adj ustment.
•Occupancy button can be used to override the systemduring unoccupied
times. Default setting is 4hrs.
ECH TIP: Careful thermostat installation will reduce field
issues! Do not twist or kink the thermostat cable.
Damaged cables are difficult to troubleshoot!
