General Description

This thermostat enables intellegent HVAC control as part of a Control4 
automated system. It uses ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4)  wiring standards and 
communicates to the Control4 system using a wireless connection.  

The Control4 Wireless Thermostat features a backlit LCD display showing 
time, temperature, date, fan status, hold status, and HVAC operating mode. 
The front panel allows for temperature setpoint adjustment, HVAC mode 
change, variable hold options and fan control. It can also operate as a stand-
alone set-point thermometer if it loses communication with the system.

The specifications are described as follows.

Installation

1  

Place the thermostat in an good location to ensure its efficiency and 
avoid unnecessary cycling of the furnace or air conditioner.

•  

Make sure the thermostat gets good ZigBee wireless reception by 

(1) ensuring that the thermostat is not too far from another Zigbee 
device and (2) avoiding electrical equipment that may cause 
interference with the Zigbee signal (such as microwaves and 
cordless telephones that operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency).

•  

Place thermostats and external thermostat sensors away from direct 

sunlight, drafts, doorways, skylights, windows, and exterior walls.

2  

Locate and turn OFF the power supply for the HVAC system.

3  

If replacing an existing thermostat, check the number and type of wires 
attached to your old unit. If installing a thermostat for the first time, see 
“Sample Wiring Configuration” on page 2 for details on wiring the 
thermostat.

4  

When you are sure the power has been shut off, remove the old 
thermostat's cover from its rear plate, but do not disconnect any wires 
yet.

5  

Unscrew and remove the old thermostat's rear plate from the wall. 

Typically, the old thermostat has a letter identifying each wire. Use a 
piece of tape to label each wire that corresponds to the letter on the old 
thermostat. 

TIP: 

You can wrap the wires around a pencil or tape them to keep 

them from falling back into the wall.

6  

Disconnect the old thermostat.

CAUTION! 

Discard the old thermostat properly or recycle it. Mercury 

is a hazardous waste. You MUST dispose of it properly.

7  

Route thermostat wires through the large, rectangular hole in the rear 
plate and let wires hang. (Later steps describe how to match wires).

8  

Position the new thermostat rear plate against the wall to make sure it 
sits flush.

9  

Use a small level or visually 
check that the rear plate is 
level, then mark the 
locations of the three screw 
holes on the wall.

10  

Remove the rear plate 

from the wall and drill 3/16-
inch-mounting holes at the 
three screw hole locations 
you marked previously.

11  

Press the plastic wall anchors that were included in the product into 

the holes you drilled in Step 10.

12  

Thread the wires from the 

wall through the rear plate 
of the new thermostat to 
place the rear plate against 
the wall.

13  

Insert the mounting 

screws into the wall anchors 
and tighten them.

14  

Connect the wires to the 

screw terminals in the rear 
plate, matching the labeled 
wires (Step 5) to the letters on the terminals. The wiring can differ 
depending upon the wires available, (see Sample Wiring 
Configuration). 

IMPORTANT! 

Do not connect the common ground lead to the 

thermostat. Doing so can cause your system to malfunction.

15  

Set the dipswitches that sit next to the battery compartment: set for 

either an electric or fuel heating system; and for either a conventional or 
heat pump system.  

16  

Install the CR123A (3V) battery (included with the product) in the new 

Control4 thermostat faceplate according to labels on thermostat. 

NOTE: 

If the battery was in place and you changed dip switch 

settings, remove the battery and reinstall it. This forces the 
thermostat to reboot with the new configuration.

IMPORTANT! 

Do not install the battery in the wrong polarity.

17 

Install the faceplate to the thermostat rear plate. To do this: 

18 

Turn ON power supply for the HVAC system.

19  

Test the thermostat in both the auto and manual modes to confirm that 

the furnace and air conditioner cycle on and off at the appropriate 
settings. See the 

Control4 Thermostat User Guide

 for specific 

instructions.

TIP: 

Keep in mind that you need to set back the temperature for at 

least eight hours (either at night or while you are at work) to see a 
noticeable energy savings. 

Programming Instructions

As part of a Control4 system, the thermostat can follow a schedule with up to 
six different set points per day. You can also control the thermostat using the 
Wireless Touch Screen, the On-Screen Navigator (on your TV with the 
System Remote Control), or the Mini Touch Screen. See the 

Composer 

Online Help 

for programming instructions and see the 

Control4 Thermostat 

User Guide

 for instruction on programming using one of the navigation 

devices).

Troubleshooting

If thermostat is not working:

Ensure HVAC system is not turned OFF.

Check for proper wiring. (See the Sample Wiring Configuration sec-
tion.)
