All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
IMPORTANT: The room thermostat should be installed 4 to 5 feet above the floor on an interior wall which is relatively free from direct sources of heat (sunlight or supply airflow) or exposure to cold (drafts from open windows and doors). The nominal anticipator setting is 0.8 amperes, for the CMA/CMC (refer to the thermostat literature for additional information).

Once the furnace is installed, check the thermostat anticipator for proper nominal setting.
1.Connect a multimeter, capable of reading milliamps (mA), in series with the low voltage wires to the thermostat.
2.Increase the thermostat setting, or create a “call for heat”.
3.Read the value of the thermostat current, in milliamps.
4.Adjust the heat anticipator of the thermostat to the value read by the multimeter.
If the heat anticipator is set too high, the furnace may delay activation of a heating cycle for too long. If the heat anticipator is set too low, the furnace may cycle too frequently. Either condition may not provide optimal comfort to the homeowner.
