Installation Sheet
Preparation
Gathering Tools and Warnings
This thermostat is compatible with most conventional oil, gas,
electric, hot water systems, single stage, and multi-stage heat
pumps. This thermostat will not control line voltage systems.
You will need the following tools to complete your installation:
• Phillips Screwdriver (#2)
• Two 1.5V (AA) size alkaline batteries
Take note of these warnings and cautions before
proceeding:
• Read all installation instructions before beginning installation!
If you still need assistance after reading this manual, call our
Technical Support at 1-888-830-1326.
• Do not disconnect the wires from your old
thermostat until all wires have been properly
labeled. You must label all wires properly because
wire color may not indicate the function of the wire.
• All wiring must be done in accordance with local code and
ordinances.
• Always turn power off to your furnace/compressor before the
installation process. Failure to do so could result in damage to
your thermostat and/or your heating and cooling system. Do not
restore power until your installation is complete.
• This thermostat is designed for use with 24V AC/millivolt systems
with a maximum of 1 amp. Higher amp or line voltage systems
will cause damage to your system and increase the risk of fire.
Old Thermostat Removal
1. Turn off power to your compressor and furnace.
2. Remove the cover to your existing thermostat. Some thermostats
may have screws or other locking devices that must first be
removed. Once the wallplate is exposed, locate the wire
terminals and try to identify the wire designations. If the wire
terminals are not visible, they may be connected to the back of
the wallplate. Look for any additional screws, tabs, or locking
devices to remove the wallplate. See Figure 1. If you are still
unable to find the terminals for the wires, it may be necessary
to contact the manufacturer of the original thermostat.

Labeling Your Wires
Use the table in Figure 2. to write down your wire colors and
the letter designations on the old thermostat. This will allow you
to keep a record of your old thermostat's wiring configuration
should you need to refer to it at a later time. This will also help our
Technical Support Department determine your system type and
proper wiring, should you need to contact them. Wire color does
not indicate the function of the wire, this is being used only to help
determine which wire has what letter designation.

the Thermostat. Figure 5.
2. Pull the wires through the back of the mounting plate, ensuring
none of the wire labels are removed. Figure 6.

the bubble level on the mounting plate Figure 7., then install
the other screw. Tighten both screws until secure. Figure 8.

on the back of this sheet. These tips
will also help you in wiring:
• Only 1 reversing valve is needed
to run a heat pump. If both "O"
and "B" are present, "B" may be a
common wire.
• Often, 2-wire heat only systems do
not have terminal labels. Connect 1
wire to the Rh terminal and the other
to W.
• If you have a 3-wire hot water
system, the damper valve control
wire will be labeled and attached to
the "A" terminal.
• If you need further assistance
