Installation
Overview
Installing the thermostat is a relatively simple process and typically takes from 10 to 30
minutes to complete. You should consider the current outdoor temperature. If unexpected
problems occur, you do not want to risk freezing or overheating, while you are sorting the
problem out.
You will need screwdrivers, a wire stripper/cutter, and a drill for installing the wall anchors to
complete the installation. A volt/ohm meter can be helpful for troubleshooting but is not
required.
Most conventional thermostats, probably including the one you are replacing, use a single
wall mounted enclosure. The BAYweb thermostat uses two modules: the Thermostat Keypad
and the Control Module. This design eliminates the use of batteries and potential need to pull
new wire out to the wall, and results in a more compact and elegant design.
The Thermostat Keypad is mounted on wall in place of
your existing thermostat.
If your existing thermostat is larger than the new one,
you can easily pull off the keypad later to touch up the
paint after you have completed the installation.
The control module mounts near or on your
furnace and/or air conditioner, and is spliced
into your existing thermostat wire.
The module should ideally be powered from
an outlet on the same circuit as your furnace.
You will need an Internet connection for the
Control Module.
If it is not convenient to plug into your network
there, consider using an optional power-line
Ethernet adapter.
