Before you Begin
If you are removing an existing thermostat, Proliphix recommends that you label each
connection as you remove the wiring. You will use these same wires (and labels)
when you connect the IMT. See
Wiring the Base Plate Terminals (page 4)
.
Use the following steps to remove an existing thermostat
:
1
Turn off power to the entire HVAC system or the fuse/circuit breaker panel.
2
Remove the cover from the existing thermostat. If the cover does not snap off when
pulled firmly from the top or bottom, check the owners manual for removal
procedures.
3
Disconnect each wire. Label the wires with the terminal designation from the existing
thermostat. Place the label about 1/2” away from the end of the wire to allow for
stripping of the ends.
4
Remove the existing thermostat from the wall.
Installing and Wiring the Thermostat
This section describes a two-step installation process in which you install (or mount)
the thermostat base plate and wire the thermostat.
Inserting the Battery
Insert the battery that is shipped with the thermostat before installing the thermostat
on the wall. The battery needs to be inserted to ensure the time of the thermostat
remains accurate during a power outage. See
Figure 3 on page 7
for battery location
and orientation.
Installing the Base Plate
Perform the following steps to mount the thermostat base plate on the wall:
1
Review the
Installation Guidelines
on
page 2
and position the base plate in an
appropriate location on the wall. Ensure the location allows you to access and pull the
wires through the opening in the base plate.
2
Using a pencil, mark the center of the screw holes on the left and right side, and
bottom center of the base plate.
Note
If this is a new installation, obtain the wire designations from the HVAC installer.
Note
There are four mounting holes on the backplate that allow for mounting in a single
vertical or horizontal oriented single gang electrical box using only two screws. If
you are installing the backplate on drywall directly, then use three screws.
