Push tab 1

#6 1” screws
Place a screwdriver or similar object into the
small slot located in the top of the thermostat.
Push the screwdriver against the plastic tab and
pull the top of the front cover so that it pivots
around the bottom edge of the base.
STEP THREE
MOUNTING THE BASE
The thermostat should be installed on an
interior wall of the desired zone approximately
5’ (1.5 m) above the floor. Do not mount the
thermostat in a location that may be affected
by localized heat sources or cold drafts. It
may be necessary to install a draft barrier
behind the thermostat to prevent air from
blowing through the wiring hole and affecting
the thermostat’s built-in sensor.
Mount the base directly to the wall using
two #6 1” screws. The screws are inserted
through the mounting holes and must be
securely fastened to the wall. If possible, at
least one of the screws should enter a wall
stud or similar surface. If the thermostat is to
be mounted to a 2” x 4” electrical box, order
an Adaptor Plate 007. This plate mounts to the
electrical box and the thermostat mounts to
the plate. Ensure that the electrical box does
not provide cold air to the thermostat.
NOTE: If the thermostat is to be used for remote sensing (i.e. The built-in air sensor is
disabled and an indoor sensor is being used.) Mount the thermostat in the desired location
in an appropriate manner.
