Installation
Step 1: Thermostat Location
Retrofit or Replacement Installations:
Mount the new thermostat in the same location as the old one.
New Installations:
Follow the guidelines below and refer to the diagram:
•Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. above the floor, and in a room that is used often.
•Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as in direct sunlight, near a lamp, radio, television, radiator register, or fireplace, near hot water pipes in a wall, near a stove on the other side of a wall.
•Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions such as on a wall separating an unheated room, or in a draft from a stairwell, door or window.
•Do not locate in a damp area. This can lead to corrosion that will shorten the life of the thermostat.
•Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as in a corner or an alcove, or behind an open door.
•Do not install the thermostat unit until all construction work and painting has been completed.
•This thermostat does not require leveling for proper operation.

CAUTION:
Your thermostat is a precise instrument, handle it with care. • Turn off electricity to the heating and air conditioning units before installing or servicing the thermostat or any part of the system. • Do not turn electricity on again until work is completed. • Do not short (jumper) across electric terminals at control on furnace or air conditioner to test the system. This will damage the thermostat and void your warranty. • All wiring must conform to local codes and ordinances. • This thermostat is designed for use with 24 volt AC systems. The thermostat should be limited to a maximum of 1.0 amps, higher amperage may cause damage to the thermostat.
