Selecting Location
— Mount the thermostat on an approved electrical junction
box.
— Locate the thermostat 4 to 5 ft (1.5m) above the floor on an
inside wall where the thermostat can be exposed to
average room temperature.
— Locate the thermostat away from concealed warm or cold
water pipes, light switches and dimmers, and refrigerators.
— Locate the thermostat away from drafts of hallways,
fireplaces, stairways, and fans.
Mounting
When replacing an old line voltage thermostat:
— Carefully remove the old thermostat to avoid damaging the
wiring insulation.
— Check the old insulation for cracks, chips, or fraying and
apply approved electrical tape, where necessary, to ensure
adequate insulation.
NOTE: Make line voltage wiring connections directly to the
leadwires installed on the thermostat, using wire con-
nectors approved for the number and size of conduc-
tors.
IMPORTANT
When using aluminum conductors, all wiring connec-
tions to the thermostat must be made to the factory-
installed lead wire, using approved CO/ALR solder-
less connectors.
1.
Connect all wires with the thermostat cover in place. Be
sure that all wire connectors are tight. Install any secu-
rity features. See Fig. 2 and 3.
2.
Pre-bend the solid conductors and push them into the
electrical box.
3.
Remove the thermostat cover by grasping both the top
and bottom of the cover and pulling out..
IMPORTANT
Carefully handle the thermostat. Excessive pressure
can damage the control knob or sensing element.
4.
Turn the dial so the setpoint indicator is at the 12 o’clock
position. (This prevents accidental damage to the dial-
stop during mounting.)
5.
Using the screwdriver, secure the thermostat to the
electrical box by tightening the two mounting screws.
See Fig. 4.
6.
Level the thermostat only for appearance.
7.
Tighten the screws and replace the cover.
