Power Requirement

24VAC Required!

This thermostat must run on the HVAC 24VAC (C) wire.

As shown in the wiring diagrams, the C wire is the other side of the 24VAC heating transformer and can be found where the other thermostat wires connect at the wall or at the furnace. Do not use the common or

ground side of the line voltage. With the C wire con- nected, the thermostat will continue to work if the bat- teries die or are removed. The batteries are for back-up in case of power loss and only will last a few days.

In case of total power loss the NORMAL and SAVE energy settings will return to their default settings (see operation guide) when power is reapplied.

Changing Calibration

Your thermostat comes from the factory calibrated to +/- 1 degree of actual temperature. It is an accurate instrument. If you want your thermostat to display the same temperature as another thermometer in your home, you can adjust its calibration.

To change the calibration:

1.Remove the top cover.

2.Locate the Calibration switch and slide it to the ON position. The current calibration factor (+/-)of the CA8900 will appear in the LCD display.

3.Push the UP or DOWN arrows until the desired cali- bration factor is reached.

4.Slide the Calibration switch to the OFF position. The new calibrated temperature will be displayed on the LCD.
