INSTALLATION TIPS
Wireless Range
Range between a zone thermostat and a master thermostat is approximately
100 feet with no obstructions and approximately 50 feet in standard residential
metal, brick, and concrete construction.
The remote should be mounted or placed approximately 4 to 5 feet above the oor.
Select an area with average temperature and good air circulation.
Do not mount or place thermostats in following locations:
• Close to hot or cold air ducts
• That are in direct sunlight
• With an outside wall behind the thermostat
• In areas that do not require conditioning
• Where there are dead spots or drafts (in corners or behind doors)
• Where appliances could radiate heat
• Do not set it next to or on hot appliances
• Do not put it in your pocket or hold in your hands for a long period of time.
Body heat will distort the temperature reading.
