I M P O R T A N T !
Thank you for your confidence in our product. To obtain the best
results from your investment, please read this manual and acquaint
yourself with your purchase before installing your new thermostat.
Then follow the installation procedures, one step at a time. This
will save you time and minimize the chance of damaging the
thermostat and the systems it controls. These instructions may
contain information beyond that required for your particular instal-
lation. Please save for future reference.
FEATURES
• The TX500 can be used with most 24
volt gas, oil or electric heating and air
conditioning systems or gas millivolt
heating systems. It cannot be used
with 120 volt heating systems or heat
pumps. Ask your dealer for other LUX
thermostats to control those systems.
• The TX500 is programmable. There
are four programming periods per day.
Each period can be programmed
separately.
• You can use the built-in time/
temperature programs, or alter
them to suit your schedule. The
TX500 provides separate programming
for weekdays and weekends — for both
heating and cooling. You can override the
programmed temperatures for as little as one
programming period or for an entire vacation.
• In cool weather, when the system switch is set to HEAT, the TX500 will maintain cooler "set back"
room temperatures to save energy. It will then change to warmer "comfort" settings - all automatically, at
specified times during the day.
• In warm weather, when the system switch is set to COOL, the TX500 will maintain warmer "set back" room
temperatures to save energy. It will then change to cooler "comfort" settings - all automatically, at specified
times during the day.
• A large liquid crystal display shows time, day of the week, and room and set temperatures.
• 5/2 Minute Selectable Minimum Run/Off Time for Short Cycle/Compressor Protection.
• Two Energizer or DURACELL "AA" alkaline batteries (not included) are used to retain your time and

temperature programs.
WARNING: Use Energizer
C A U
• Your thermostat is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care.
• Turn off electricity to the appliance before installing or servicing thermostat or any part of the system.
Do not turn electricity back on until work is completed.
• Do not short (jumper) across electric terminals at control on furnace or air conditioner to test the
system. This will damage the thermostat and void your warranty.
• All wiring must conform to local codes and ordinances.
• This thermostat is designed for use with 24 volt and millivolt systems. The thermostat should be
limited to a maximum of 1.0 amps; higher amperage may cause damage to the thermostat. If you are
in doubt, call your utility company.

THERMOSTAT LOCATION
On replacement installations, mount the
new thermostat in place of the old one unless
the conditions listed below suggest otherwise.
On new installations, follow the guidelines listed below.
1. Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor, and in a room that
is used often.
2. Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as: in direct sunlight; near a
lamp, radio, television, radiator, register, or fireplace; near hot water pipes in a wall; near a
52016
stove on the other side of a wall.
3. Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as: on a wall separating an unheated room;
or in a draft from a stairwell, door, or window.
4. Do not locate in a damp area. This can lead to corrosion that will shorten thermostat life.
5. Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as: in a corner or an alcove; or behind an
open door.
6. Do not install the unit until all construction work and painting has been completed.
7. This thermostat does not require leveling.
REMOVING THE OLD THERMOSTAT
Switch electricity to the furnace and air conditioner OFF; then
proceed with the following steps.

C A U T I O N
To avoid electrical shock
and to prevent damage to
the furnace, air conditioner,
and thermostat, disconnect
the power supply before OFF
beginning work. This can
be done at the fuse box, at
the circuit breaker, or at the
appliance.
C A U T I O N
Read instructions carefully
before removing any wiring
from existing thermostat.
Wires must be labeled before
they are removed. When
removing wires from their
terminals, ignore the color of
the wires since these may
not comply with the
standard.
2. Fill wall opening with
non-combustible
insulation to prevent
drafts from affecting
the thermostat.
