ELECTRIC HEAT OR SINGLE-STAGE

HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS

Read entire paragraph before setting electric heat switch. If you are unsure of your application, contact a qualified service person.

If you have a single-stage heat pump system, OR your system uses central electric heat, where the blower is energized by a separate circuit through the fan relay (meaning that the fan turns on immediately on call for heat), then the switch on the thermostat base must be moved to the “ELECTRIC” position (see fig 1). If the thermostat is energizing electric heat sequenc- ers, the switch MUST remain in the “GAS” position.

If you must move the switch to the “ELECTRIC” position (to the left), use a small screwdriver or pencil.

6.Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire-resistant material (such as fiberglass insulation) to prevent drafts from affecting thermostat operation.

HYDRONIC (HOT WATER OR STEAM)

HEATING SYSTEMS

This thermostat is set to operate properly with a forced-air heating system. If you have a hydronic heating system (a system that heats with hot water or steam), you must set the thermostat to operate properly with your system. Change the second option in the configuration menu to SL (see CONFIGURATION MENU, page 4).

CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION

If at any time during testing your system does not operate properly, contact a qualified service person.

Turn on power to the system.

ATTACH THERMOSTAT BASE TO WALL

1.Remove the packing material from the thermostat. Gently pull the cover straight off the base. Forcing or prying on the thermostat will cause damage to the unit. If necessary, move the electric heat switch (see ELECTRIC HEAT SYSTEMS, above).

2.Connect wires beneath terminal screws on base using appropriate wiring schematic (see figs. 2 through 7).

3.Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole locations on wall using base as a template.

4.Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes.

5.Fasten base loosely to wall, as shown in fig. 1, using two mounting screws. Place a level against bottom of base, adjust until level, and then tighten screws. (Leveling is for appearance only and will not affect thermostat operation.) If you are using existing mounting holes, or if holes drilled are too large and do not allow you to tighten base snugly, use plastic screw anchors to secure subbase.

Fan Operation

If your system does not have a G terminal connection, skip to Heating System.

1.Move fan switch to ON position. The blower should begin to operate.

2.Move fan switch to AUTO position. The blower should stop immediately.

Heating System

1.Move SYSTEM switch to HEAT position. If the heating system has a standing pilot, be sure to light it.

2.Press to adjust thermostat setting above room tempera- ture. The heating system should begin to operate.

3.Press to adjust temperature setting below room tem- perature. The heating system should stop operating.
