When replacing an existing thermostat, install the RC-1000 in the same location. If the existing location doesn't meet the following criteria, choose a new location to mount the RC-1000. When choosing a location for the thermostat:

1.Ensure that the thermostat is mounted 5 feet above the floor and is at least 2 feet from an outdoor wall.

2.Ensure that the thermostat is located in an area where there is adequate air circulation.

3.Do not mount in the path of direct sunlight or of radiant heat generated by appliances.

4.Do not mount behind an outdoor wall, near a fireplace, or in the path of any air ducts.
