HVAC Selection

   

• Set

 the 

HVAC TYPE

 switch in the 

NORM 

position if you have conventional 

natural gas, propane, oil, or electric heat.  If you have a HEAT PUMP system set 

the 

HVAC TYPE

 switch to 

HP

.  They are located in the battery compatrment.  

• Set 

the 

HEAT TYPE

 switch in the 

GAS 

position if you have normal gas or oil heat 

or if you have a heat pump with gas or oil auxiliary heat. Put the 

HEAT SOURCE

 in 

the

 ELEC

 position if you have normal electric heat or if you have a heat pump with 

electric auxiliary heat. 

Install 4 AA Batteries

  

• Install 4 AA alkaline batteries [required] following the 

marked polarity in the battery compartments. Put the 

battery in negative end first against the spring, then 

push the positive end in. 

 IMPORTANT:

 Press the RESET button (under top 

cover) to implement the HVAC switch selections.

 

 

• With all the wires connected it is time to turn the AC power back on. Do this at the breaker you used 

to switch it off. The CT101 will power-up in the OFF mode. Your CT101 is not configured to operate 

your HVAC system yet.  You must now configure your thermostat for your HVAC system.
