To Install Thermostat

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

 – Turn off power at the main service panel by removing the fuse or switching the appropriate circuit breaker to the OFF position before removing the existing 

thermostat.
IMPORTANT:

 

Thermostat installation must conform to local and national building and electrical codes and ordinances.

 

 

Note:

 

Mount the thermostat about five feet above the floor. Do not mount the thermostat on an outside wall, in direct sunlight, behind a door, or in an area affected by a vent or duct.

1. Turn off power by removing the fuse or switching the appropriate circuit breaker off.
2. To remove cover, remove screw and pull gently at the seam at the top.
3. Set thermostat away from working area.
4. Align thermostat base with junction box mounting holes and feed the control wires through hole.
5. Use supplied screws to mount thermostat base to junction box. 
 

CAUTION!

:

 

Be sure exposed portion of wires does not touch other wires.

6. Wire nut the thermostat wires to your system wires.
7. Gently tug wire to be sure of proper connection. Double check that each wire is connected to the 

proper terminal. 

8. Snap thermostat to base that is mounted on the wall. Refasten with screw.
9. Turn on power to the system at the main service panel.
10. Test thermostat operation as described in “Testing the Thermostat”.

Configuration Mode Settings

1 – System

Select the type of operation you require.
1.  Heat Only is for a system with only heating. 
2.  Cool Only is for a system with only cooling.
3.  2-Pipe Manual Changeover is for a 2 pipe system that handles both heating and cooling. The user 

selects whether the system will be set to heating or set to cooling.

4.  2-Pipe Seasonal Changeover is for a 2 pipe system that handles both heating and cooling. The 

thermostat selects whether the system will be set to heat or set to cool based on the pipe sensor 
temperature.

5.  2-Pipe Manual Changeover with Auxiliary is for a 2 pipe system that handles both heating and 

cooling. The user selects whether the system will be set to heat or set to cool. If set to heat and the 
pipe sensor indicates there is not heat, the auxiliary output will be turned on.

6.  4-Pipe Manual Changeover is for a 4 pipe system. The user selects whether the system will be set 

to heat, cool or off.

7.  4-Pipe Auto Changeover is for a 4 pipe system. The user selects whether the system will be set to 

heat, cool, heat & cool or off.

  “1”  Heat only
  “2”  Cool only
  “3”  2-pipe manual changeover
  “4”  2-pipe seasonal changeover 

2 – Temperature Scale

This thermostat can function in Fahrenheit and Celsius.
F = Fahrenheit (

Default)

C = Celsius

3 – Valve Type

This thermostat operates with Normally Open or Normally Closed valves. Select the correct valve 
type for your system. 
no = Normally Open (

Default)

nc = Normally Closed

“5”  2-pipe seasonal changeover w auxiliary
“6”  4-pipe manual changeover
“7”  4-pipe auto changeover (

Default)

4 – Temperature Sensor

Select the type of room temperature sensor you are using.
o = Onboard temperature sensor (

Default)

r = Remote temperature sensor

5 – Fan Operation

Select either Automatic Fan or Continuous Fan. 
Automatic Fan will automatically adjust the fan speed (Low, Medium, High) based on the set point 
and room temperature. The more the room temperature is from the set point the faster the fan will 
operate. The fan will be off in OFF mode.
Continuous Fan will run the fan at the fan speed that is selected with the FAN button. It can be 
turned OFF only when in OFF mode.
A = Automatic Fan (

Default)

C = Continuous Fan
