Product Manual
Location
If replacing an old thermostat,
the new thermostat can be
mounted in its place.
If a new location is desired
it will be necessary to move
the wiring.
New installations and
relocation should follow the
accompanying guidelines
to ensure the most accurate
temperature reading and ease
of use.
• Mount thermostat on an
inside wall, approximately
5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor
in a frequently used room.
• Do not install in locations
near appliances or devices that
affect the local temperature
such as televisions, lamps,
or dryers.
• Avoid areas that are exposed
to large temperature variances,
such as: direct sunlight, near
an AC unit, above or below
auxiliary heat and air vents,
and drafts from windows.
• Be aware of what is on the
other side of the wall where the
thermostat is being installed.
Do not install on walls adjacent
to unheated rooms, stoves, or
housing hot water pipes.
• Damp areas will not only
affect the humidity reading
of the thermostat, but could
lead to corrosion and shorten
the life of the thermostat.
• Install in a location with good
air circulation. Stagnant air will
not accurately reflect the rate
of temperature change in the
room. Avoid areas behind open
doors, corners, and alcoves.
• Wait until construction
and painting are finished
before installing.
