3.1.1 Temperature Sensing Considerations
The 950 Control is designed for installation in climate controlled living spaces. It is recommended to place
the unit in central locations with good circulation. Avoid exterior walls and areas near windows, doors, vents
or concealed pipes or chimneys. Important: The 950 Control utilizes a large 7” touch screen. This screen
generates heat which is vented out the top of the Control utilizing natural convection. If an air source is directed
at or from above, heat from the screen can be trapped within the Control body and can cause the indoor
temperature to be biased.
3.1.2 Wireless Recption Considerations
If enabling wireless, choose a mounting location that ensures adequate signal strength.
A wireless device may have significantly different signal strengths if its position chang-
es relative to other wireless devices. If the control shows poor signal strength, you may
be able to improve the signal strength by moving the control a short distance in any
direction.
Considerations to Maximize Signal Strength:
•
Do not mount the control
more than 30 feet from the wireless router (through no
more than three interior walls).
•
Do not mount the control in areas where
electromagnetic emissions from other devices, appliances or
wiring can interfere with the control’s communication. (i.e. wireless phones, security systems, wireless inter-
net cameras)
•
Do not mount the control in
recessed areas, near metal objects, or near structures. (i.e. doors, appliances,
entertainment centers or shelving units)
•
Do not mount the control closer than
2 inches to any pipes, duct work, or other metal obstructions.
•
Do not have
metal obstructions, concrete or brick walls between the control and the wireless router it
will be connected to.
NOTE: See the User’s Guide for wireless setup information.
Remove sub-base plate from the Control by inserting a small flat blade
screwdriver into the notch at each of the four tabs as shown.
Gently pry the sub-base away from the Control.
NOTE: This tight fit is normal and ensures that the Control is held securely to
the sub-base when mounted on the wall.

Heat from the 950 screen may be
trapped within the body of the 950
control by an external top-down airflow
source, such as a ceiling fan.
The onboard thermistor may be
biased by this heat causing the
displayed indoor temperature to be
elevated.
