Before You Begin; Installing And Wiring The Thermostat; Inserting The Battery - Proliphix IMT Installation Manual

Before you Begin

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.
Prior to installing or servicing the thermostat, turn off electricity to the entire
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/CAT6 cables and HVAC cables should be a minimum of one inch.
Before you Begin
If you are removing an existing thermostat, Proliphix recommends that you label each
connection as you remove the wiring. You will use these same wires (and labels) when
you connect the IMT. See
Use the following steps to remove an existing thermostat:
Turn off power to the entire HVAC system or the fuse/circuit breaker panel.
1
Remove the cover from the existing thermostat. If the cover does not snap off when
2
pulled firmly from the top or bottom, check the owners manual for removal
procedures.
Disconnect each wire. Label the wires with the terminal designation from the existing
3
thermostat. Place the label about 1/2" away from the end of the wire to allow for
stripping of the ends.
If this is a new installation, obtain the wire designations from the HVAC installer.
Note
Remove the existing thermostat from the wall.

Installing and Wiring the Thermostat

This section describes a two-step installation process in which you install (or mount)
the thermostat base plate and wire the thermostat.

Inserting the Battery

Insert the battery that is shipped with the thermostat before installing the thermostat
on the wall. The battery needs to be inserted to ensure the time of the thermostat
remains accurate during a power outage. See
and orientation. To replace the battery, use a Panasonic CR-1220 3v, or equivalent.
