Installing Your New Thermostat
NOTE: When installing this thermostat in a new location, following a few simple
guidelines and the applicable building codes will give the best results. Install the
thermostat in a location that provides good airflow by avoiding areas behind doors,
near corners, air vents, direct sunlight or heat generating devices. The wiring must
conform to all building codes and ordinances as required by local and national
code authorities having jurisdiction for this installation.
1. Always turn off the power to the air conditioning and heating system prior to
installing this thermostat.
2. Locate the release latch on the bottom (not the back) of the thermostat. Press
the release latch in and separate the body from the sub-base of the thermostat.
3. Set the thermostat electronics and cover down on a clean surface. Place the
sub-base on the wall in the desired location.
4. Using the slotted mounting holes in the sub-base, mark the placement of the
mounting holes through the slots and onto the wall. Insure the wires come out
of the wall into the center hole of the sub-base.
5. After verifying the drill will not damage items in the wall, use a 3/16 drill to
create the mounting holes. Gently tap the supplied plastic anchors into the holes
in the wall.
6. Place the thermostat sub-base against the wall in the desired location. Ensure
the thermostat is level, the wires are inserted in the opening, and the mounting
holes are aligned with the slots on the sub-base.
7. Fasten sub-base to wall using the supplied screws into the plastic wall anchors.
8. Connect wires to the quick wiring terminal blocks. Use the wiring diagram chart
to insure the old and new connections are correct.
9. To prevent electrical shorts and potential damage to the thermostat, make sure
all wire connections are secure and not touching each other.
10. Turn the thermostat body over, exposing the rear view of the circuit board.
11. Locate the internal ˚F / ˚C switch on the circuit board. Using your fingers, flip
the switch toward the preferred temperature ˚F / ˚C scale.
12. Locate the internal fan option switch, HG (Gas) / HE (Elec) on the circuit board.
This switch controls the heating system fan delay. Select gas for gas or oil fired
systems. This will allow the furnace to run for a few seconds before starting
the fan. Select electric for systems with electric furnace elements that require
the fan to come on immediately. Using your finger, flip the switch toward the
HG (Gas) or HE (Elec).
13. Locate the internal NORM HP switch on the circuit board. This switch configures
the thermostat for normal (NORM) heating and cooling systems or heat pump
(HP) systems. Using your fingers, flip the switch toward the NORM or HP.
14. Locate the internal programming switch on the circuit board. This switch
configures the programming mode for either 5-2 DAY (weekday-weekend), or
full 7 DAY programming. Using your finger, gently flip the switch toward the
programming option that best suits your schedule.
15. Ensure the cover is still installed on the thermostat body, and install the unit
onto the sub-base. To do so, use the mounting tabs on the top of the sub-base
as a guide hinge, and close up the thermostat case by pivoting the body and
cover closed. The latch on the bottom of the thermostat will click when the case
is properly closed.
16. Flip the front thermostat cover open and open the battery compartment door.

Testing Your New Thermostat

NOTE: Test your thermostat prior to programming any user settings. Pressing the
RESET button will erase any user entries previously programmed and return them
to their default values.
1. Place the system switch in the HEAT position.
2. Press the button on the keypad until the set point temperature setting is a
minimum of 3 degrees higher than the current room temperature. The heating
system should start within several seconds. The fan may not turn on immediately
due to the heating system built-in fan delay.
3. Place the system switch in the OFF position. The heating system should stop
within several seconds on normal single stage heating or cooling systems. On
single stage heat pump systems you must wait 5 minutes for the automatic
compressor short cycle protection period to expire, or press the RESET button
to bypass this feature for initial testing purposes. Pressing the RESET button
will erase any user entries for time of day, day of week, option settings and
programming if previously programmed.
4. Place the system switch in the COOL position.
5. Press the button on the keypad until the set point temperature is a minimum
of 3 degrees lower than the current room temperature.
6. The cooling system should start within several seconds. Place the system switch
in the
OFF position. The cooling system should stop within a few seconds.
7. Place the fan switch in the ON position. The system blower should start.
8. Place the fan switch in the AUTO position. The system blower should stop.

cont.
• Do not short (or jumper) across terminals on the gas valve or at the heating or
cooling system control board to test the thermostat installation. This could
damage the thermostat and void the warranty.
• Do not select COOL mode of operation if the outside temperature is below 50˚ F
(10˚ C). This could possibly damage the controlled cooling system and may cause
personal injury.
• This thermostat includes an automatic compressor protection feature to avoid
potential damage to the cooling system from short cycling. This thermostat
automatically provides a 5-minute delay after turning off the cooling system
output to protect the compressor. This protection is also present in the heat
mode of operation on single stage heat pump systems.

17. Locate the positive [+] ends of the batteries and match them with the positive
[+] terminals located in the battery compartment. Install the two new “AA”
alkaline batteries (supplied). Close battery compartment door.
18. Restore system power and proceed to Testing Your New Thermostat.
NOTE: If batteries were installed prior to accomplishing steps 10 through 15, you
will need to reset the thermostat to register thermostat switch configurations prior
to programming any user settings. Gently press the RESET button on the front of
the thermostat using a paper clip or a small pencil tip.
