FEATURES

Structure of thermostat and explanation of the keypads

We are pleased you have selected our wall thermostat. Our

products are manufactured to high quality standards and

are designed for years of service.

Read This Before Installing Thermostat

OPERATION

YOUR THERMOSTAT FUNCTIONS WITH

This Thermostat will NOT control 110/220 Volt systems.

IMPORTANT

Read the entire installation section of this Owner’s Manual

thoroughly before you begin to install or operate your

thermostat.

REMOVE THE MYLAR LABEL FROM THE LCD DISPLAY

WINDOW.

INSTALLATION

All programming is normally performed at your thermostats

location.

ARMCHAIR PROGRAMMING

You can program your thermostat before installation by

inserting the batteries and following the instructions starting

with the installer/configuration menu. This can be done

while you relax in your favorite chair and is a very good

way to familiarize yourself with all the functions of your

thermostat.

The following time and temperature settings are

pre-programmed into the thermostat:

COMPRESSOR PROTECTION

The thermostat provides a 4-minute delay after shutting

off the heating or cooling system before it can be restarted.

This feature will prevent damage to your compressor

caused by rapid cycling. Note that this delay also applies

to the heating system control. It does not provide a delay

when there are power outages. You can select the function

on or off at the configuration.

TEMPERATURE RANGE

This thermostat can be programmed between 45ºF and

95ºF (7ºC and 35ºC). However, it will display room tempera-

tures from 30ºF to 99ºF (0ºC and 37ºC). HI will be displayed

if the temperature is higher than 99ºF (37ºC), and LO will be

displayed if the temperature is lower than 30ºF (0ºC).This

thermostat will automatically shut down in Heat mode if the

temperature rises above 95ºF (35ºC), and automatically shut

down in Cool mode if the temperature drops below 45ºF

(7ºC).

NOTE: If the thermostat measures a temperature over

99ºF(37º), HI will be displayed on the LCD. If the tempera-

ture is below 32ºF(0º). and LO will be displayed on the LCD.

POWER FAILURE

Whenever the main power is interrupted or fails, the backup

battery power will maintain the current time. This thermo-

stat also contains permanent memory that will retain your

program setting through power outages.

POWER SUPPLY

The thermostat is powered by 24 VAC and has battery

backup.

BATTERY WARNING

Fresh alkaline batteries should provide about one year

of service. When the batteries become weak, BATT will

alternate on the display with the current time. When this

message occurs, install 2 new AA batteries. You have

approximately 1 minute to change the batteries and keep

the thermostat’s clock and program settings. Once the

batteries have become too weak to ensure proper

operation, your system will be turned off, and the display

will be cleared except for BATT flashing on the LCD display.

CAUTION: Once the BATT display occurs, the thermostat

is shut down, and your system will no longer

operate. In this condition, there is no temperature

control. NOTE: The backlight will not function

when the thermostat is in low battery condition.

NOTE: If you plan to be away from the premises over

30 days, we recommend that you replace the old

batteries with new alkaline batteries prior to leaving.

INSTALLATION

What You Need:

This thermostat includes two #8 slotted screws and two

wall anchors for mounting. To install your thermostat, you

should have the following tools and materials.

• Slotted screwdriver(s) • Small Phillips screwdriver •

Hammer • Electric drill and 3/16” bit • Two1.5V (AA) size

alkaline batteries (included)

CAUTION:

To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage,

disconnect electric power to system at main fuse or cir-

cuit breaker box until installation is

complete.

Before removing wires from old thermostat, label each wire

with the terminal

designation it was removed from.

1. Shut off electricity at the main fuse box until installation

is complete. Ensure that electrical power is

disconnected.

2. Remove old thermostat: A standard heat/cool

thermostat consists of three basic parts:

a. The cover, which may be either a snap-on or hinge

type.

b. The base, which is removed by loosening all screws.

c. The switching subbase, which is removed by

unscrewing the mounting screws that hold it on

the wall or adapter plate.

3. Remove the front cover of the old thermostat. With wires

still attached, remove wallplate from the wall. If the old

thermostat has a wall mounting plate, remove the

thermostat and the wall mounting plate as an assembly.

4. Identify each wire attached to the old thermostat.

5. Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat one at a

time.

DO NOT LET WIRES FALL BACK INTO THE WALL.

6. Install new thermostat using the following procedures.

WARNING

Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage. Higher

voltage will damage control and could cause a shock or fire

hazard. Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary

control to test. Incorrect wiring will damage thermostat and

could cause personal injury and/or property damage.

Selector Switches

Figure 1. Electric/Gas Switch (Fan Option)

This thermostat is configured from the factory to operate a

heat/cool, fossil fuel (gas, oil, etc.), forced air system. It is

configured correctly for any system that DOES NOT require

the thermostat to energize the fan on a call for heat. If your

system is an electric heat or heat-pump system that

requires the thermostat to turn on the fan on a call for heat,

locate the ELEC/GAS switch on the back of the thermostat

(see Figure 1) and switch it to the ELEC position. This will

allow the thermostat to energize the fan immediately on

a call for heat. If you are unsure if the heating/cooling

system requires the thermostat to control the fan, contact a

qualified heating and air conditioning service person. When

the thermostat is configured for heat pump, the thermostat

will always power the circulator fan on a call for heat in the

Heat mode. The ELEC/GAS switch must be set to match

the type of auxiliary heat your system uses for proper

operation in the Emergency mode.

All wiring diagrams are for typical systems only. Refer to

equipment manufacturer’s instructions for specific system

wiring information.

Attach Thermostat Base to Wall

1. Remove the packing material from the thermostat. Gently

pull the cover straight off the base. Forcing or prying on

the thermostat will cause damage to the unit.

2. Connect wires beneath terminal screws on base using

appropriate wiring schematic (see Figures. 2 through 6).

3. Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole

locations on wall using base as a template.

4. Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes.

5. Fasten base loosely to wall, as shown in Figure 1, using

two mounting screws. Place a level against bottom of

base, adjust until level, and then tighten screws. (Leveling

is for appearance only and will not affect thermostat

operation.) If you are using existing mounting holes, or if

holes drilled are too large and do not allow you to tighten

base snugly, use plastic screw anchors to secure sub-

base.

6. Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire

resistant material (such as fiberglass insulation) to pre-

vent drafts from affecting thermostat operation.
