Note about dual fuel systems: 

This thermostat is not

compatible with dual fuel systems (heating system with both heat 
pump and gas furnace), unless the system is controlled with a dual 
fuel accessory relay kit.  If you are unsure whether your dual fuel 
system is controlled with this accessory or if you need a dual fuel kit, 
please contact a qualifi ed heating and cooling contractor.

WARNING

Voltage hazard. Can cause electrical shock or equipment damage. Disconnect power to 
heating and cooling equipment before beginning installation.

2

Remove the existing thermostat cover from the wall plate.

Leave wires attached.

Consult instructions that came with existing thermostat as needed.

Physical Installation and Wiring

1

The thermostat 

is compatible

 with single

and multistage forced air systems, including:

 

• Gas furnace systems

 

• Oil furnace systems

 

• Electric furnace systems

 

• Heat pump systems

 

• Air conditioning systems

The thermostat 

may be compatible

 with 

some other system types, including:

 

• Boiler systems

 

• Geothermal systems

 

• Multi-zoned systems

The thermostat 

is not compatible

 with the 

following system types:

 

• Radiant fl oor systems

 

• Wall heating systems

Also, the thermostat 

is not compatible

 with 

dual fuel systems (gas furnace & heat pump combined) 

without adding a special kit. See Note below.

If you are unsure about connecting this wire or you do not have any unused wires at the 

thermostat, contact a professional.

Connect a 24 VAC common wire to power the thermostat.

3

Determine if your system has a 24 VAC common wire which is required to power the thermostat.

If your system is a heat pump, skip to step 4.

a.  If your existing thermostat has a terminal named C, COM, X, or B with a wire connected to it, skip to step 4.
b.  If your thermostat does not have that terminal, or does not have a wire connected to it, go to step 3a.

a.  Locate all unused (disconnected) wires from the
     thermostat wire bundle and write down the colors.

 

24V Common wire is typically (not always) colored blue

Unused wires

Thermostat
wire bundle

c. Find the 24 VAC common terminal identified with
    the letter C, X, B, or COM. 

This terminal may already have a wire connected to it  

 

    but it may not be a wire that goes to the thermostat

f. Connect the unused wire to the 24 VAC terminal, 
   then replace the furnace cover. 

The 24 VAC common wire is typically (but not always)  

 

    blue in color. If the blue wire has been unused, it is  

 

    recommended that you use the blue wire.

e. Find a wire from the thermostat bundle that is 
    unused at the thermostat and at the furnace. 

It is possible that one of the unused wires at the   

 

   thermostat will already be connected to the 24 VAC  

 

   common terminal at the furnace. If so, go to step 4.

b. Go to your HVAC unit and remove the cover(s) to   
    access the 24 VAC furnace wire terminals.

d. Locate the thermostat wire bundle inside the
    furnace panel.

 

This wire bundle is routed from the thermostat,  

 

    through the walls, and into the furnace panel.

 

This bundle can be identified at the furnace by  

 

    checking the wire colors connected and not  

 

    connected and comparing to the wire bundle at the  

 

    thermostat.

Label the wires on your existing thermostat to match terminal names.

Do not use wire colors to chose labels. The terminal name 
is what is important.

a.  Locate the wiring labels located in the box with the new thermostat. 
b.  Look at where each wire is connected to the existing thermostat and fi nd the 

letter shown next to that wire terminal.

c.  Peel off the matching label and wrap it around each corresponding wire.

Important Notes:

If you have a short jumper wire between two terminals, remove the jumper and do 
not label it. This jumper wire is not required on the new thermostat.

If you had to connect a new 24 VAC common wire in step 3a, you will use the “C” 
label on that wire.

If you have a W terminal, use the W1 label on that wire.

If your thermostat has any terminals with names that do not match any on the label,  
write down the terminal names and wire colors for later reference.

Remove existing wall plate.

Note: During this process, make sure that the wires do 
not pull back into wall opening.

a.  Detach all wires from wall plate.
b.  Remove all screws attaching the wall plate to the 

wall and remove wall plate.

c.  See “MERCURY NOTICE” below.

MERCURY NOTICE

When this control is replacing an old control that contains mercury in 

a sealed tube, do not dispose of your old control in the trash.  Dispose 

of properly.  Contact your local waste management authority for 

instructions regarding recycling and proper disposal of the old control.

A listing of heating, ventilating and air conditioning wholesalers that 

participate in the Thermostat Recycling Corporation’s recycling 

program are available at www.thermostat-recyle.org .

Identify your System Type from the list below.

You will need to check your wire labels to help identify the system type.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD - 

Improper system type selection can lead to equipment damage 

or high utility costs.  Follow the System Type table carefully to properly select and setup the control to ensure proper 
heating and cooling system operation.

b.  Locate the new wall plate over existing opening.
c.  Attach wall plate to wall using two screws provided. Do not overtighten.

7

Separate the face of the new thermostat from the wall plate.

Apply pressure at two tabs on top of wall plate to release it.

8

Mark two mounting holes using new wall plate.

a.  Pull wires through hole in center of wall plate.
b.  Locate the new wall plate over existing opening.
c.  Mark two holes with pencil.
d.  Use a level to verify that the two holes locations are level. 
e.  Correct holes locations as needed.

9

Prepare two mounting holes.

a.  Drill 1/16” pilot holes in the two locations that were marked in step 9. 

If mounting to drywall with no studs behind it, enlarge pilot holes to 
1/8” for anchors.

b.  If using anchors, screw them into the holes.

a.  Use the information from step 11 to match the wires to the correct terminals.
b.  Use 1/8” blade screwdriver to secure wires in terminals.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD 

- Improper 

wiring can lead to equipment damage. Follow the Terminal 
Connection information from step 11 carefully to ensure the 
control is wired properly. After wires are secure, bare wires
MUST NOT touch each other.

If necessary, cut the internal jumper wire (JP1).

Cutting the JP1 jumper

The jumper is located on back of the thermostat face as shown in the 
illustration to the right. Cut the jumper using small diagonal cutters being 
careful not to damage the board.

15

Turn power to heating and cooling system back on.

The thermostat display should turn on and begin displaying information. If the thermostat display does not come on, go back 
through the installation steps and look for problems. Pay special attention to steps 3, 3a, and 11.

14

Attach the thermostat face to the wall plate.

a.  Tuck wiring fl at inside the wall plate.

It is critical that wires are not bunched together and that they are pressed fl at.

b.  Carefully align the face plate to the wall plate while aligning pins into wire 

terminals.

c.  Once thermostat face is properly aligned, apply pressure at top and bottom 

of thermostat face until it is secure.
