LOCATION
When replacing an existing thermostat, install the RC-80 in the same
location. If the existing location doesn't meet the following criteria,
choose a new location to mount the RC-80.
When choosing a location for the thermostat:
1. Ensure that the thermostat is mounted about 5 feet above the
floor and is at least 2 feet from an outdoor wall.
2. Ensure that the thermostat is located in an area where there is
adequate air circulation.
3. Do not mount in the path of direct sunlight or of radiant heat
generated by appliances.
4. Do not mount behind an outdoor wall, near a fireplace, or in the
path of any air ducts.
REMOVING AN EXISTING THERMOSTAT
1. Disconnect the power to the control transformer.
2. Remove the cover to the existing thermostat.
3. Disconnect the wires going to each terminal on the thermostat.
Label each wire with the letter or number at the terminal.
4. Remove the existing plate or base from the wall.
