IMPORTANT
Level for appearance only. The thermostat func-

Fig. 3. Mounting wallplate to wall.
Remove the wallplate from the wall and drill two 3/16-
in. holes in the wall (if drywall). For firmer wall material
such as plaster or wood, drill 7/32-in. holes. Gently tap
provided anchors into the drilled holes until flush with
the wall.
Reposition the wallplate, pulling wires through the
wiring opening. Loosely insert the mounting screws
into the holes.
Level for appearance only; the thermostat functions
correctly even when not level. Tighten the mounting
screws.

4 WIRE WALLPLATE TERMINALS

All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances. If unsure about household wiring
procedures, call your local heating and air conditioning
contractor.
Refer to the labels you placed on wires when you
removed your old thermostat.
Match the letter of your old thermostat wire with the
terminal of the corresponding letter on your new
thermostat. Refer to Fig. 4.

NOTE: To ensure correct mounting of thermostat,
restrict all wiring to the shaded area in the cen-
ter of the terminals.
Loosen the terminal screws and slip each wire
beneath its matching terminal. The shape of the
terminals permit insertion of straight or wraparound
connections. See Fig. 5. Tighten the terminals.

Plug the hole in the wall with insulation to help prevent
drafts from adversely affecting thermostat operation.
The CT3451 Thermostat is powered with 3AA alkaline
batteries and is adaptable to most 18 to 30 Vac heating-
cooling systems. Refer to Fig. 6 through 10 for typical
system wiring diagrams.
