This easy installation guide will walk you through the

proper installation of your Hunter® thermostat. For

questions or assistance you may contact our technical

department at 1-888-830-1326 (CAN 1-866-268-1936) .

Hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday thru Friday

and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.

This thermostat is compatible with most oil, gas, electric,

2 wire hot water systems or single stage heats pumps. This

thermostat will not control multi-stage heat pumps, line

voltage, or 3 wire hot water systems.

* Do not disconnect the wires from your old thermostat

until all wires have been properly labeled. You must

label all wiring accordingly, wire color may not

indicate the function of the wire.

* Most thermostats are low voltage, and present no threat

to you during the uninstallation or installation process.

As a precaution though, turn off the power to your

Furnace by using the switch on the side or your breaker

box.

* This thermostat is designed for use with 24 volt aC/

millivolt systems with a maximum of 1 amp. Higher

amp or line voltage systems will cause damage to your

system and increase the risk of fire.

Warning: Many 2 wire heat only systems are line voltage.

To determine this, check the size of the wire. If the wire

is much larger than the jumper wire included with this

thermostat do not connect to the thermostat.

Note: If you have any addition wires that do not match

with the wiring diagrams in this manual, contact our
technical support department for assistance.

Warning: Never connect a “common wire” to this

thermostat, sometimes referred to as “C” or “B”. Doing

so could cause damage to the thermostat or your

heating/cooling system. Contact our technical support

department for wiring assistance.

Gather all tools necessary to complete your installation

before removing the old thermostat.
To install your thermostat you should have the following

tools:
Slotted Screwdriver
Phillips Screw Driver
Electric Drill and 3/16” drill bit
Hammer
Four 1.5v (AA) size alkaline batteries
Unpack your new Hunter® thermostat and ensure all

components are present in the Accessory Pack. This

includes:
2 - #8 slotted screws
2 - wall anchors for mounting
1 - sheet of terminal labels
1 - jumper wire
1 - thermostat with mounting plate.

* Often, 2 wire heat only systems do not have terminal

labels. Connect 1 wire to the RH terminal and the other

to W.

* If both "O" and "B" are present, "B" may be a common

wire. Contact our technical support department for

wiring assistance.
