Mounting

Location Considerations

Locate a thermostat controller:
• on a partitioning wall, approximately 1.5 m (5 ft)
above the floor in a location of average
temperature
• away from direct sunlight, radiant heat, outside
walls, outside doors, air discharge grills, or
stairwells, or from behind doors
• away from steam or water pipes, warm air stacks,
unconditioned areas (not heated or cooled), or
sources of electrical interference
Allow for vertical air circulation to the thermostat
controller.

Wireless Signal Transmission Range

Line-of-sight transmission ranges between a
TEC20 Coordinator and a TEC Wireless Thermostat
Controller (or between TEC Wireless Thermostat
Controllers) can be less than the recommended
distances shown in Table 1. The effective transmission
range for indoor applications varies because of Radio
Frequency (RF) signal absorption and reflection due to
metal obstructions, walls (or floors), and furniture found
in typical building interiors.

Mounting the Thermostat Controller

Follow these steps to mount the thermostat controller:
1. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the
security screw on the bottom of the cover.
2. Pull the bottom edge of the cover and open the
thermostat controller as illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Removing the Cover
3. Carefully pull the locking tabs on the right side of
the mounting base, and unlock the Printed Circuit
Board (PCB). Open the PCB to the left as
illustrated in Figure 2.

4. Pull approximately 152 mm (6 in.) of wire from the
wall, and insert the wire through the hole in the
mounting base.
