INSTALLATION
WARNING
TURN OFF POWER TO THE HEATING SYSTEM AT
THE MAIN POWER PANEL TO AVOID
ELECTRICAL SHOCK. THE INSTALLATION MUST
BE PERFORMED BY AN ELECTRICIAN.
All cables and connections must conform to the
local electrical code.
Special CO/ALR solderless connectors must be
used when connecting with aluminum
conductors.
Install the thermostat onto an electrical box.
Install the thermostat about 5 feet high, on an
inside wall facing the heater.
Avoid locations where there are air drafts (such as
the top of a staircase or an air outlet), dead air
spots (such as behind a door), or direct sunlight.
Do not install the thermostat on a wall that
conceals chimney or stove pipes.
The thermostat wires are not polarized; either wire
can be connected to the load or to the power
supply.
NOTE: Always keep the thermostat's vents clean and
unobstructed.
