INSTAllATION

INSTAllATION lOCATION RECOMMENDATIONS

Thermostat should be mounted:
• On an interior wall, in a frequently occupied space.
• Approximately 5' above floor.
• At least 18" from outside wall.
• Thermostat can be mounted to a vertical junction box.

THERMOSTAT MOUNTINg

1. Remove the rear mounting plate from the thermostat.
2 . Pull wires through the opening on the back of the
thermostat .
3. Position and level the mounting plate of the thermostat
on wall and mark the hole locations with a pencil .
4. Drill 1/4" holes and insert supplied anchors
(drywall only) .
5. Place mounting plate over anchors, insert and tighten
screws .
6. Seal wire entry holes to prevent drafts affecting
temperature readings .

OUTDOOR TEMpERATURE SENSOR (OpTIONAl)

Outdoor temperature can be measured by attaching an 8052 sensor to the S1 and S2 terminals. The outdoor sensor
must be enabled in the installer setup menu .
In heat pump mode the outdoor temperature
sensor can be used to efficiently utilize an air
source heat pump:
• When the outdoor temperature is less than the Low
Balance Point, the heat pump will be locked out and
only auxiliary heating will be used.
• When the outdoor temperature is higher than the
High Balance Point, the auxiliary heating will be
locked out and only the heat pump will be used to
provide heating.

INSTAllATION

REMOTE TEMpERATURE SENSOR (OpTIONAl)

A remote temperature sensor can be used if the thermostat is to be mounted in a concealed location. A 8051 flush
mount or 8053 surface mount remote temperature sensor can be attached to the T1 and T2 terminals and mounted
in a recommended area. The remote sensor must be enabled in the installer set-up menu, and once enabled will
override the thermostat's internal temperature sensor.
Remote temperature sensor should be mounted:
• On an interior wall, in a frequently occupied space.
• Approximately 5' above floor.
• At least 18" from outside wall.
• Using less than 300' of wire.
pOwER & RESET OpTIONS
The thermostat is a 24VAC powered device with a battery back-up for the clock.
The thermostat has a memory backup that saves the thermostat settings in case of a power interruption. The system
settings will be retained but the clock will reset after 90 seconds with no battery or AC power.
The reset button located under the battery cover can be used to reset the thermostat to factory defaults. The system
settings will also be reset to default .
