THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
Leveling Thermostat
Leveling is for appearance only and
will not aect thermostat operation.
WIRING
Refer to equipment manufacturer’s instructions for specic system wiring information. After
wiring, see INSTALLER MENU for proper thermostat conguration. Wiring table shown are
for typical systems and describe the thermostat terminal functions.
WARNING
!
Do not use on circuits exceeding specied voltage.
Higher voltage will damage control and could
cause shock or re hazard.
Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary
control to test. Short or incorrect wiring will burn
out thermostat and could cause personal injury
and/or property damage.
CAUTION
!
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment
damage, disconnect electrical power to system,
at main fuse or circuit breaker box,until
installation is complete.
Precautions
• Do not exceed the specication ratings.
• All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes and ordinances.
• This control is a precision instrument, and should be handled carefully. Rough handing or
distorting components could cause the control to malfunction.

PRECAUTIONS

Brivis 6 DGH Manual Controller IM
3
1.) Gas/Elec Switch
If the system is a heat pump or electric furnace, the GAS/ELEC Switch must be set to
Elec. If your system is a gas or oil furnace, the switch must be set to Gas.
2.) O/B Terminal Switch
The O/B switch on this thermostat is factory set to the Oposition. This will accommodate
the majority of heat pump applications, which require the changeover relay to be
energized in Cool. If the heat pump being installed requires a Bterminal, to energize the
changeover relay in Heat, the O/B switch must be moved to the Bposition.
3.) RC/RH Jumper Wire
This thermostat electrically connects the RC and RH terminals so a jumper wire is not
required. If the application provides a separate wire for RC and RH, clip the RC/RH
jumper. This will isolate both terminals so they can be independently used.

There will be up to a 5 minute delay before the compressor turns on.(see INSTALLER MENU,
item 50)
CAUTION
!
To prevent compressor and/or property damage, if the outdoor temperature is below 50°F,
DO NOT operate the cooling system.
Do not allow the compressor to run unless the compressor oil heaters have been operational
for 6 hours and the system has not been operational for at least 5minutes.

Resetting the Thermostat or Thermostat Settings
If the thermostat has good batteries, but has a blank display or does not respond to key
presses, the thermostat should be reset by removing the batteries for 2 minutes. This reset
will not change the menu settings or program. If the condition persists after reinstalling the
batteries, replace the thermostat.
To conveniently reset only the schedule and user settings back to factory defaults, press Menu
and Backlight buttons at the same time and hold until the display goes blank and resets.
Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action

1.) System Switch not set to
Cool
2.) Loose connection to
thermostat or system
3.) Cooling System requires

Verify thermostat and system wires are securely
aached.
Diagnosc: Set System Switch to Cool and lower
setpoint below room temperature. Same procedures
as diagnosc for “No Heat” condion except set the
thermostat to Cool and lower the setpoint below the
room temperature. There may be up to a ve minute
delay before the thermostat clicks in Cooling if the
compressor lock-out opon is selected in the installer
menu. (see INSTALLER MENU, item 50)
