Installation
Switch off power
Step 1
This TJ-225 thermostat is designed to work on most 24V-AC low voltage heating and cooling systems
such as gas and oil furnaces, heat pumps, and single or dual-stage systems.
This protects you and avoids blowing a fuse in your
equipment. To make sure the power is off, change the
temperature with your current thermostat and wait at least
five minutes to be sure that your system doesn’t turn on. Breaker Box

Remove your old thermostat from the wall plate
Step 4
Confirm your system is off by turning on your heat ( during winter ) or your AC ( during
summer ). Wait a few minutes—you should not feel air coming from your vents.
NOTE : If you have a digital
thermostat that has a
blank display, skip this
step.
Most thermostats allow you to remove the main unit and provide
access to a wall plate which holds the wiring terminals, you can
take off the thermostat by grasping and gently pulling. Some
thermostats may have screws, buttons, or clasps.
NOTE : Do not remove any wires from your thermostat at
this time!

Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat
one by one, you may need a screwdriver to
release wires from terminals.
NOTE : Wrap the wires around a pen or
pencil so they don’t fall back into the hole in
the wall.
Use the enclosed screws and anchors to
mount the new wall plate. In most cases, you
can utilize the same mounting position of
your old thermostat. Be sure to check the
alignment of your wall plate pre and post
installation of the thermostat unit.

If you do not have a C-wire connected to your old thermostat, please
check below wiring diagram.
Check for spare wire behind your wall plate or old thermostat, if you have a spare wire, connect
it to the C terminal on the new wall plate.
Remove cover from furnace or heating system, open the heating and cooling system’s cover to
find the control board. You should see the same terminal labels that are on your thermostat.
Find the other end of the unused wire, locate the bundle of wire that are the same as the ones
at your thermostat.
