Wiring and Mounting

All wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances.

In replacement applications, inspect the old wiring
for frayed or cracked insulation. Replace any wires
in poor condition. In new installations, run two wires
to the chosen location.

Grasp the thermostat cover on the sides with one
hand. Pull outward on the left edge of the cover until
it snaps free of the thermostat base. Remove and
discard the shipping tab that protects the switch
contacts during shipping.

Connect the thermostat wires to the appropriate
terminals on the back of the thermostat. See Fig. 2
for typical hookup. Push any excess wire back
through the hole and plug any opening to prevent
drafts that can affect thermostat performance.

Adjust the heat anticipator to match the current draw
of the primary control in the system. See Heat
Anticipator Setting section.
