Read This Before Installing Thermostat
IMPORTANT
1Read the entire installation section of this Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before you begin to install or
operate your Hunter Thermostat.
INSTALLATION
2All installation is normally performed at your
thermostat.
ARMCHAIR PROGRAMMING
3You can program your thermostat before installation
by inserting the batteries and following the instruc-
tions starting on page 12. This can be done while you
relax in your favorite chair and is a very good way to
familiarize yourself with all the functions of your Hunter
Thermostat.
SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY
4Your Thermostat is designed to operate with most
gas, oil, electric, or 2-wire hot water heating and air
conditioning systems. It will also operate single-stage
heat pumps that do not have auxiliary or emergency
heat. These have 24 volt or millivolt control systems
and represent most central heating, air conditioning, or
space heating units in the United States.
This thermostat will not control 120/240 Volt systems or
millivolt systems.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION
5The thermostat provides a 3.5 minute delay after
shutting off the heating or cooling system before it
can be restarted. This feature will prevent damage to
your compressor caused by rapid cycling.
