Fidure Smart Thermostat Installation Guide
Important Requirements and compatibility:
The A1
-
730 thermostat is designed for the popular single
-
stage
24VAC systems most commonly used in forced
-
air, heat
-
pump,
and hydronic systems.
WARNING:
DO NOT connect this thermostat to voltages higher
than 24 Volt AC, such as: base
-
board heaters, line/high
-
voltage
fan
-
coil, or systems with transformers providing higher than
24VAC. Improper use of this device can result in personal injury,
and/or property damage.
If you have doubts about your ability to install this
thermostats, consult a qualified technician.
Installation Steps
1. Turn off your existing system and disconnect the
power:
Perform this via the circuit breaker or the dedicated
furnace power switch if there is one. Verify this by trying to turn
the system on.
2. Remove the old thermostat, leaving the wall-plate
in-place:
Remove the body of the old thermostat and leave the
wall
-
plate connected for now.
3. Record the existing wiring set up:
Write down the existing wiring set up by recording what color wire
goes to what terminal on the wall
-
plate. The terminal on the old
thermostat’s wall
-
plate should have letter markings. Below is a
typical set up:
Use a small flat
-
head screw driver to tighten the terminal screw
and secure each wire.
If your wiring has two wires marked ‘R’, or ‘Rh/Rc’, connect R or
Rh wire to the R terminal on the thermostat, Rc wire to Rc
terminal and remove the metal jumper connecting the R and Rc
on the thermostat.
If your wiring has only one wire marked R, connect it to R
terminal and leave the jumper installed.
If your wiring has a wire marked, O or B and no W, connect it to
the W terminal (in this case, remember to correctly choose your
heat
-
pump in the thermostat settings menu after the install is
complete).
If there are more wires attached:
If additional wires connected to the old thermostat terminals such
as W2,Y2, X, etc it most likely means your system is not a single
-
stage system and not compatible with the A1730 Smart
Thermostat. If the only additional wire you see connected is
marked W2 (second stage heat), it may be possible that your
furnace supports both single and two
-
stage heat and still
compatible with A1730. Consult the owners manual for your
furnace for more details.
4. Remove the old thermostat wall-plate:
After you
have finished labelling the old thermostat wiring, disconnect the
wires from the old thermostat’s wall
-
plate and un
-
fasten it from
the wall.
5. Detach A1730 Smart thermostat’s wall
-plate:
Gently separate the wall
-
plate portion from the main body of your
thermostat by slowly pulling them apart. The two parts are snug
-
fit together and prying them does not require any tools.
6. Install the A1730 Smart thermostat’s wall
-plate:
Secure the wall
-
plate to the wall using the drywall anchors and
screws provided or use specific fasteners for your wall
construction material.
7. Connect the wires to the terminal:
Connect the
wires to the terminal connector matching your existing marked
wire to the terminal letter on the thermostat.
Once all of the necessary wires are attached to the terminal, tidy
up the wires by pushing the excess wire lengths back in to the
wall cavity and remove any unnecessary knots or loops that
might get in the way.
Double check to make sure the stripped portion of the wires are
not touching each other causing a short
-
circuit.
8. Attach the thermostat main body to wall-plate:
Once you have completed connecting the wires, align the
thermostat main body with the wall
-
plate and gently push around
the frame to fit the body on to the wall
-
plate.
If a gap persists and does not close, do not force the two parts
together. Remove the body and check again to make sure the
wires are not interfering.
A look at the side profile may confirm that two parts are
connected properly:
9. Reconnect the Power to the system:
Once the thermostat is installed, turn the power to the system/
furnace back on and follow the instructions in the Quick Start
Guide to finalize the settings such as system type, heat
-
pump
style, mode, etc.
