INSTALLATION
• The Braeburn 5970 Thermostat Guard can be used in virtually all new or existing
®
thermostat applications. The enclosed template provides mounting locations for a wide
range of commercial thermostat models.
• With most existing thermostat applications, the thermostat guard can be installed
without removing the thermostat from the wall. In existing applications, only the cover
and ring base will be used, NOT the wallplate. For some existing installations the
thermostat may need to be removed from the subbase to install ring base.
• In new thermostat applications, the thermostat guard can be used with or without
the wallplate. The wallplate is usually used to cover scratches or marks from the old
thermostat installation.
