A thermostat is not included and must be ordered
separately.

A Comfort Sync

TM

 thermostat must be used in

communicating applications.

In non-communicating applications, a traditional non-
communication thermostat may be used.

In all cases, setup is critical to ensure proper system
operation.

Field wiring for both communicating and non-
communicating applications is illustrated in these
instructions.
