3.  Tighten screws on terminal block. Gently tug wire to be sure of proper connection. Double check that each wire is 

connected to the proper terminal.

4.  Remove unused  Gas/Electric jumper. Keep

 gas for oil or gas systems. Keep electric for heat pumps or electric 

heat systems.

5.  Replace thermostat by snapping it in place.
6.  Turn on power to the system at the main service panel.
7.  Test thermostat operation as described in “Testing the Thermostat”.

Remote Sensor Installation (Optional)

1.  Remove cover from remote sensor housing.
2.  Select an appropriate location for mounting the remote sensor.
3.  Mount remote sensor unit using hardware provided.
4.  Install two strand shielded wire between remote sensor and thermostat. Shielded wire must be used. Do not run 

remote sensor wire in conduit with other wires.

  • 

Wire 1 should run between the S1 terminal on the thermostat and the S1 terminal on the remote sensor

  • 

Wire 2 should run between the S2 terminal on the thermostat and the S2 terminal on the remote sensor

  • Connect the shielding of the wire to the S2 terminal on the thermostat
5.  Disable the main sensor (R12) on the thermostat by cutting it from the circuit board.

 

WARNING

Always turn off power at the main power supply before installing, cleaning, or removing thermostat.

•  This thermostat is for 24 VAC applications only; do not use on voltages over 30 VAC
•  Do not short across terminals of gas valve or system control to test operation; this will damage your thermostat 

and void your warranty 

•  All wiring must conform to local and national electrical and building codes
•  Do not use air conditioning when the outdoor temperature is below 50 degrees; this can damage your A/C system 

and cause personal injuries
