•Mount on an interior wall, in a frequently occupied space.
•Keep the thermostat 18" from an outside wall.

•Thermostat can be mounted to a vertical junction box
•DO NOT mount the thermostat:
–behind doors, in corners or other dead air spaces.
–in direct sunlight or near lamps, appliances or other sources of heat.
–on an outside wall or wall exposed to an unconditioned space (i.e. garage).
–in the flow path of a supply register, in stairways or near outside doors.
–on a wall where concealed pipes or ductwork could influence the sensor.
–near sources of electrical interference such as arcing switch contacts.
If installing an indoor temperature sensor…
•Mount the thermostat where it can be readily accessed. Note that the backlighting illuminates whenever a button is pressed.
•Thermostat can be mounted on a vertical junction box
•DO NOT mount the thermostat where the operating range temperatures will be exceeded (i.e. attic or unventilated equipment room).
•Mount the sensor in the same location as if installing a thermostat alone.
