6 Mount thermostat and outdoor sensor

Follow the guidelines below when mounting the thermostat:
• Do NOT install the thermostat in an area where it can be exposed to water or rain.
• Avoid locations where there are air drafts (top of staircase, air outlet), dead air spots
(behind a door), direct sunlight or concealed chimney or stove pipes.
• For a new installation, choose a location about 1.5 m (5 ft.) above the floor.
• Install the thermostat on an inside wall facing the heater.
• Keep the thermostat's top and bottom air vents (openings) clean and unobstructed at
all times.
Two mounting plates are provided for mounting the thermostat on the wall or on a junction
box. Use Method A for a slimmer thermostat look. Choose Method B if you prefer not to
make an opening in the wall. Method C must be used for installation on a junction box.
