Installing the Thermostat

Installation Guidelines

Use the following guidelines to install the Proliphix thermostat:
If you are replacing an existing thermostat, mount the Proliphix thermostat in the
same location as the thermostat in which you are replacing.
Tip
Prior to installing or servicing the thermostat, turn off electricity to the HVAC
system; do not turn electricity back on until all work is complete.
Caution
Do not jumper wires together to test the system. This may cause harm to your
HVAC system and damage the thermostat, and therefore void the warranty.
All wiring must conform to local codes and ordinances. The distance between
CAT5/CAT5E/6 cables and HVAC cables should be a minimum of one inch.
2
Install the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 feet (1.5m) above the floor, and in
a room that is used often.
Install the CAT5/CAT5E/CAT6 cabling from the wiring center to the thermostat
installation site.
Install the thermostat in an area or room with adequate air circulation and where
there are no unusual heating/cooling conditions, such as: sunlight, near a lamp,
radio, television, radiator register, or fireplace; near hot water pipes in a wall; near
a stove on the other side of the wall, on a wall separating an unheated room; or in
a draft from a stairwell, door, or window; in a corner or alcove; or behind an open
door.
Install the unit after all construction work and painting is complete.
Install the unit in an unobstructed location where there are no objects on the wall
above or below the thermostat or other obstructions (such as furniture) restricting
vertical airflow.
It is not necessary for the thermostat to be level.
