Installation of the Thermostat

Choosing the Best Location
■ Never locate the thermostat near or above a heat producing source(lamp, TV, fireplace, radiator, direct
sunlight, etc.).
■ Never locate in areas with drafts(stairwells, vestibules, foyers, against an outside/exterior wall, etc.).
■ Never locate in a room, which will be shut-off from the other living areas of the home.
■ On multi-story homes, locate thermostat on the ground floor.
■ Install at a height of about 4 to 5 ft above the floor.
■ Keep out of reach from children.
Installation
[On Hollow Plaster or Drywall]
1. Remove the back plate from the FR-5 thermostat by grasping the faceplate with one hand and sliding the
back plate downward with the other hand.
2. Pull the thermostat wire through the back plate.
3. Connect 2(orange colored/stranded) wires from unit to the 2 screws located on the FR-5 thermostat.
4. Mount the back plate to the wall using either of the above techniques(depending on the construction of the wall).
Recheck all connections both inside the unit and at the thermostat. Be careful not to pinch the control wires. Pinched
or shorted wires will prevent the system from operating. Do not over tighten wire nuts connecting wires together.
Use countersunk type screws to fix back plate to the wall.
Carefully tighten the 2 screws when connecting the wires. Do not apply excessive force. If the insulation of the wires is
damaged or if the terminals are in poor contact, the room thermostat will not work properly. Be careful to protect the
insulation of the wires.
