INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

The thermostat is a wall mounted, low-voltage thermostat, which maintains room temperature by controlling the opera- tion of a heating and air conditioning system. Batteries are not required; temperature and mode settings are preserved with the power off.

I. THERMOSTAT LOCATION

Thermostat should be mounted:

-Approximately 5 ft. (1.5m) from floor.

-Close to or in a frequently used room, preferably on an inside partitioning wall.

-On a section of wall without pipes or duct work.

Thermostat should NOT be mounted:

-Close to a window, on an outside wall, or next to a door leading to the outside.

-Exposed to direct light and heat from a lamp, sun,

fireplace, or other temperature-radiating object which may cause a false reading.

-Close to or in direct airflow from supply registers and return-air grilles.

-In areas with poor air circulation, (behind a door or in an alcove.)

II. INSTALL THERMOSTAT

1.Turn off all power to unit.

2.If an existing thermostat is being replaced:

A.Remove existing thermostat from wall.

B.Disconnect wires from existing thermostat, one at a time. Be careful not to allow wires to fall back into the wall.

C.As each wire is disconnected, record wire color and terminal marking.

D.Discard or recycle old thermostat.

NOTE: Mercury is a hazardous waste and MUST be disposed of properly.

3.Separate the thermostat and back plate.

4.Route thermostat wires through hole in back plate. Level back plate against wall (for aesthetic value only - thermo- stat need not be leveled for proper operation) and mark wall through 2 mounting holes.
