Model TZEMT500AB32MAA
Installation Instructions
NOTE: This thermostat is not compatible with dual
fuel systems (heating system with both heat pump and
gas or oil furnace), unless the system is controlled with
a dual fuel accessory relay kit.
1WARNING
Voltage hazard. Can cause electrical shock or equipment damage. Disconnect power to
heating and cooling equipment before beginning installation.
2Remove the existing thermostat cover from the wall plate.
Leave wires attached.
Consult instructions that came with existing thermostat as needed.

MERCURY NOTICE
When this control is replacing an old control that contains mercury in
a sealed tube, do not dispose of your old control in the trash. Dispose
of properly. Contact your local waste management authority for
instructions regarding recycling and proper disposal of the old control.
A listing of heating, ventilating and air conditioning wholesalers that
participate in the Thermostat Recycling Corporation’s recycling
program are available at www.thermostat-recyle.org .
The TZEMT500 Thermostat is compatible with single and
multistage forced air systems, including:
• Gas furnace systems
• Oil furnace systems
• Electric furnace systems
• Heat pump systems
• Air conditioning systems
The TZEMT500 Thermostat may be compatible with some
other system types, including:
• Boiler systems
• Geothermal systems
• Multi-zoned systems
The TZEMT500 Thermostat is not compatible with the
following system types:
• Radiant floor systems
• Wall heating systems
• Propritary HVAC Communication Protocols
The TZEMT500 Thermostat is not compatible with dual
fuel systems (gas or oil furnace & heat pump combined)
without adding a special kit. See Note below.

or high utility costs. Use the System Type list to properly select and setup the control to ensure proper heating and
cooling system operation.

4 Determine if your system has a 24 VAC common wire which is required to power the thermostat.
If your existing thermostat has a terminal labeled C, X, B, or COM with a wire connected to it, skip to step 6.a.
If your thermostat does not have a C, X, B, or COM terminal, or does not have a wire connected to it, go to step 5.b.
5Connect a 24 VAC common wire to power the thermostat.

f. Connect the unused wire to the 24 VAC terminal,
then replace the air handler or furnace cover.
�iThe 24 VAC common wire is typically (but not always)
blue in color. If the blue wire is not used, it is
recommended that you use the blue wire.
e. Find a wire from the thermostat bundle that is
unused at the thermostat and at the air handler
or furnace.
�iIt is possible that one of the unused wires at the
thermostat will already be connected to the 24 VAC
common terminal at the air handler or furnace. If so,
go to step 6.

not connected and comparing to the wire bundle at
the thermostat.

Wire specification (RS1 & RS2): 2 conductors, 18 gauge wire. Make sure that the sensor wires have a cable separate from the ther-
mostat cable. Best results for distances of 100 feet or less. Accuracy may be affected for distances up to a maximum of 200 feet.
Shielded cable is recommended for distances over 100 feet and less than 200 feet.
Remote Sensors Part Numbers
Remote Indoor Sensor: Use ZZSENSAL0400AA for indoor applications.
Remote Outdoor Sensor: Use BAYSEN01ATEMPA for outdoor applications.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the sensor wires have a cable separate from the thermostat cable.
IMPORTANT: Follow directions below for averaging. These instructions replace the averaging information found in the Installer’s
Guide for the ZZSENSAL0400AA.
Note: Remote Sensor 2 can be selected as an indoor sensor or an outdoor sensor.
Remote Temperature Sensor Connections and Operation:
A) Indoor sensor connected to RS1. Replaces internal sensor. RS2 not connected.
Remote Sensor 1 (RS1) replaces the internal temperature sensor of the thermostat. This allows the thermostat to
be installed in a location different than the area where the temperature will be measured. Use ZZSENSAL0400AA.
See Figure A.
B) Indoor sensor connected to RS2. Averages temperature with internal sensor. RS1 not connected.
RS2 is used as an indoor temperature sensor that averages temperatures with the internal sensor. Use
ZZSENSAL0400AA. See Figure B.
If RS2 is set to indoor location (“IN” - Default selection in the thermostat installation set up menu) and a sensor is
attached to the RS2 sensor terminals of the thermostat, the RS2 temperature is averaged with the thermostats
internal temperature sensor.
C) Indoor sensors connected to RS1 and RS2. Averages RS1 and RS2 sensor temperatures. Internal sensor is not used.
Remote Sensor 1 (RS1) and Remote Sensor 2 (RS2) are both used as indoor sensors. The RS1 temperature and
RS2 temperature is averaged. See Figure C.
D) Outdoor sensor connected to RS2. Reports outdoor temperature to comfort control.
RS2 is used as an outdoor temperature sensor. Use BAYSEN01ATEMPA. See Figure B.
If RS2 is set to outdoor location (“OUT” in the thermostat installation set up menu) and a sensor is attached to the
RS2 sensor terminals of the thermostat, the RS2 temperature is used to report outdoor temperature. It is also
displayed on the thermostat main screen. See Step 19 to configure for outdoor temperature sensing.
E) Indoor sensor connected to RS1 and Outdoor sensor connected to RS2. RS1 replaces the internal sensor. RS2 reads
the outdoor temperature.
Remote Sensor 1 (RS1) replaces the internal temperature sensor of the thermostat. This allows the thermostat to
be installed in a location different than the area where the temperature will be measured. Use ZZSENSAL0400AA.
RS2 is used as an outdoor temperature sensor. Use BAYSEN01ATEMPA. See Figure C.
If RS2 is set to outdoor location (“OUT” in the thermostat installation set up menu) and a sensor is attached to the
RS2 sensor terminals of the thermostat, the RS2 temperature is used to report outdoor temperature. It is also
displayed on the thermostat main screen. See Step 19 to configure for outdoor temperature sensing.

Cutting the JP1 jumper
The jumper is located on back of the thermostat face as shown in the
illustration to the right. Cut the jumper using small diagonal cutters being
careful not to damage the board.
15 Turn power to heating and cooling system back on.
The thermostat display should turn on and begin displaying information. If the thermostat display does not come on, go back
through the installation steps and look for problems. Pay special attention to steps 3, 4, and 6.
14 Route the wires per label on the mounting plate and attach the
thermostat face to the wall plate.
Tuck wiring flat inside the wall plate.a.
It is critical that wires are not bunched together and that they are pressed flat.
Carefully align the face plate to the wall plate while aligning pins into wireb.
terminals.
Once thermostat face is properly aligned, apply pressure at top and bottomc.
of thermostat face until it is secure.
