Placement

Heat from the screen may be trapped 

within the body of the Control by an 

external top-down airflow source, such 

as a ceiling fan.

The onboard thermistor may be biased 

by this heat causing the displayed 

indoor temperature to be elevated.

4.2  Mounting / Installation

 
Follow these steps to mount the

 

202

 

Control to the wall.

1. 

Turn OFF all power to heating and cooling equipment.

2. 

If an existing thermostat is being replaced:

a.  Record color and terminal marking of each wire.
b.  Disconnect the wires from the existing thermostat 

being careful not to allow them to fall back into the wall.

c.  Remove the existing thermostat from the wall.

3. 

Pull the thermostat body off the thermostat base. Forcing 
or prying on the thermostat will cause damage to the unit.

4. 

Move base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole 
locations on wall using base as template. (See Fig. 1)

5. 

Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes. If you are 
using existing mounting holes pull thermostat wire bundle 
through the hole in the thermostat base. Mount sub-base 
to wall. Leveling is for appearance only and will not affect 
thermostat operation.

6. 

Connect wires to terminal block on base using appropriate 
wiring diagram.

7. 

Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire resistant 
material (such as fiberglass insulation) to prevent drafts 
from affecting thermostat operation.

8. 

Two “AA” alkaline batteries are included in the thermostat 
at the factory with a battery tag to prevent power drainage

9. 

Remove the battery tag to engage the batteries

4.3  Battery Location

FIGURE 2. 

Leveling Thermostat

Leveling is for appearance only and 

will not affect thermostat operation.

 

Battery Location

Premium AA alkaline batteries are 

required when C-wire is not available. 

When C-wire is available, the batteries 

provide a back-up source of power (this 

will maintain the clock in the event of a 

power outage).

RC/RH Jumper Wire 

This thermostat electrically 

connects the RC and RH 

terminals so a jumper 

wire is not required. If the 

application provides a 

separate wire for RC and 

RH, clip the RC/RH jumper. 

This will isolate both 

terminals  so they can be 

independently used.

4.4  Battery Replacement

To replace batteries, set system to 

OFF

, remove thermostat from wall and install the batteries in the rear along the top of the thermostat 

(see Figure 1). For best results, use a premium brand “AA” alkaline battery such as Duracell

®

 or Energizer

®

. If the home is going to be 

unoccupied for an extended period (over 3 months) and “

 

 

” is displayed the batteries should be replaced before leaving.

IMPORTANT: 

• 

Do not exceed the specification 
ratings.

• 

All wiring must conform to local 
and national electrical codes 
and ordinances.

• 

This control is a precision 
instrument, and should be 
handled carefully. Rough 
handling or distorting 
components could cause the 
control to malfunction

Gas/Electric Switch

If the system is a heat pump or electric 

furnace, the GAS/ELEC Switch must be 

set to Electric. If your system is a gas or oil 

furnace, the switch must be set to Gas.

O/B Terminal Switch

The O/B switch on this thermostat is factory set to the O position. This will accommodate the majority of heat pump applications, 

which require the changeover relay to be energized in Cool. If the heat pump being installed requires a B terminal, to energize the 

changeover relay in Heat, the O/B switch must be moved to the B position. To enable single stage heat pump operation a jumper

must be field installed between Y and W. The 202 does not support auxiliary heat.
