 House Control!

This manual covers the complete installation, programming and sequence of operation for this control. You will also find instruc-
tion on testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting the control and system that it operates. 

Improper installation and operation of this control could result 
in damage to the equipment and possibly even personal injury 
or death. It is your responsibility to ensure that this control is 
safely installed according to all applicable codes and standards. 
This electronic control is not intended for use as a primary 
limit control. Other controls that are intended and certified as 

safety limits must be placed into the control circuit. Do not 
attempt to service the control. Refer to qualified personnel for 
servicing. There are no user serviceable parts. Attempting 
to do so voids warranty and could result in damage to the 
equipment and possibly even personal injury or death.

Installation

The installer must ensure that this control and its wiring are 
isolated and/or shielded from strong sources of electromagnetic 
noise. Conversely, this Class B digital apparatus complies 
with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and meets all requirements of 
the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. 
However, if this control does cause harmful interference to 
radio or television reception, which is determined by turning 
the control off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct 

the interference by re-orientating or relocating the receiving 
antenna, relocating the receiver with respect to this control, 
and/or connecting the control to a different circuit from that 
to which the receiver is connected.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exi-
gences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.
