Terminal Designations

This thermostat is shipped from the factory to operate a conventional heating

and cooling system. This thermostat may also be configured for a heat pump 

system. See the “heat pump” configuration step on page 17 of this manual to 

configure the thermostat for heat pump applications.

Wiring

Caution: 

Electrical Hazard

All components of the control 

system and the thermostat 

installation must conform to 

Class II circuits per the NEC Code.

Warning:

Do not overtighten terminal 

block screws, as this can 

damage the terminal block.  

A damaged terminal block 

can keep the thermostat 

from fitting on the subbase 

correctly or cause system 

operation issues.

Installation Tip

Max Torque = 6in-lbs.

Wiring

If you are replacing a thermostat, 

make note of the terminal 

connections on the thermostat that 

is being replaced.  In some cases 

the wiring connections will not be 

color coded. For example, the 

green wire may not be connected 

to the 

G

 terminal.

Loosen the terminal block screws. 

Insert wires then retighten the 

terminal block screws.

Place nonflammable insulation into 

the wall opening to prevent drafts.

Wiring Tips

C Terminal

The C (common wire) terminal does 

not have to be connected when the 

thermostat is powered by batteries.

Wire Specifications

Use shielded or non-shielded 18-22 

gauge thermostat wire.

Failure to disconnect the power 

before beginning to install this 

product can cause electrical shock 

or equipment damage.

Note:

In many heat pump systems with 

no emergency heat relay, a jumper 

can be installed between 

E

 and 

W2

 to turn thermostat into a single 

stage control for Emergency Heat 

Operation.

Thermostat Quick Reference

The low battery indicator is displayed when the AA battery power is low. If the user 

fails to replace the battery within 21 days, the screen will only show the low battery 

indicator but maintain all functionality.  If the user fails to replace the batteries after 

an additional 21 days (days 22-42 since first “low battery” display) the setpoints will 

change to 55˚F (Heating) and 85˚F (Cooling). If the user adjusts the setpoint away from 

either of these, it will hold for 4 hours then return to either 55˚F or 85˚F.  After day 63 

the batteries must be replaced immediately to avoid freezing or overheating because 

the thermostat will shut the unit off until the batteries are changed.

Time and day of the week

System Operation Indicators:

 HEAT ON, COOL ON and stages are shown 

when these systems are running. NOTE: The compressor delay feature is 

active if these icons are flashing. The compressor will not turn on until the 5 

minute delay has elapsed.

Setpoint: 

Displays the user selectable setpoint temperature

HOLD

 is displayed when thermostat program is permanently overriden.

Low Battery Indicator: 

Replace batteries when this indicator is shown.

Program Menu Options: 

Show different options during programming.

Time Periods -

 Shows the 4 time Periods for Residential. 2 or 4 Commercial

Battery Installation

Battery installation is recommended even if the thermostat is 

hardwired (C terminal connected).  When the thermostat is hardwired 

and batteries are installed, the thermostat will activate a compressor 

delay of 5 minutes when it detects a power outage from the hardwired 

power supply.

Important:

High quality alkaline batteries are recommended. 

Rechargeable batteries or low quality batteries 

do not guarantee a 1-year life span.

Insert 2 AA Alkaline batteries 

(included). High quality alkaline 

batteries are recommended.

Simple operating instructions

are found on the back of the 

battery door.

Clean Display: 

Will disable screen for 30 seconds to allow cleaning. A press 

and hold of clean also will reset filter change and other reminders.
