1. Preparing for Installation
CAUTION
Do not remove the NT20e from the Electro-static bag until instructed from
this installation guide. The NT20e is extremely sensitive to ESD which
can cause damage to the electronic components on the NT20e circuit
module. The ESD bag protects the NT20e from ESD.
Installation Overview
The Proliphix family of thermostats provide a rich set of innovative features including the
ability to configure via a graphical interface locally or from any remote location. There
are several steps involved to physically install the unit, configure the required network
settings and remote access. This document covers the physical installation only. For
configuration or remote access refer to the user guides.
¾
If you are replacing an existing thermostat, mount the NT20e in place of the
existing one if possible. If you are installing the NT20e in a new location
follow these guidelines:
¾
You will need a #1 or #2 Phillips head screwdriver (small) and Drill with a
3/16" or 7/32" bit for this installation.
¾
Locate the NT20e on an inside wall, about 5 feet (1.5m) above the floor, and
in a room that is used often.
¾
Install the CAT5, CAT5E or CAT6 cable from wiring center to location of
NT20e
¾
Do not install the NT20e where there are unusual heating conditions, such as:
sunlight, near a lamp, radio, television, radiator register, or fireplace; near hot
water pipes in wall; near a stove on the other side of the wall.
¾
Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as: on a wall separating an
unheated room; or in a draft from a stairwell, door, or window.
¾
Do not locate in a damp area as this can lead to corrosion and shorten the
NT20e life.
¾
Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as: in a corner or alcove; or
behind an open door.
¾
Do not install the unit until all construction work and painting has been
completed as this may damage the NT20e.
¾
Do not mount anything directly below or above the NT20e. The wall should be
clear from the NT20e bottom to the floor and from the NT20e top to the
ceiling.
