CAUTION

WARNING

ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage

or improper operation.

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury

or death.

Improper wiring or installation may damage the thermostat

Check to make sure wiring is correct before proceeding with

installation or turning on unit.

Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main

electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position. There

may be more than 1 disconnect switch. Lock out and tag

switch with a suitable warning label.

. Push any excess wire into wall and against mounting base.

Seal hole in wall to prevent air leaks. Leaks can affect

operation.

. Turn OFF all power to unit.

. If an existing thermostat is being replaced:

a. Remove existing thermostat from wall.

10. Snap case back together.

11. Close thermostat assembly making sure pins on back of

circuit board align with sockets in connector.

b. Disconnect wires from existing thermostat, 1 at a time.

Be careful not to allow wires to fall back into the wall.

12. Turn ON power to unit.

c. As each wire is disconnected, record wire color and

terminal marking.

NOTE: If a common wire has not been connected, two AA

batteries must be used to power the thermostat.

d. Discard or recycle old thermostat.

NOTE: Mercury is a hazardous waste and MUST be disposed of

Make sure the customer is informed about changing the batteries

every 12 months, if a common wire is not available.

properly.

If a common wire is connected, then batteries are not needed for

any reason. Batteries may be installed if desired but the thermostat

will not draw power from them.

. Open thermostat (mounting base) to expose mounting

holes. The base can be removed to simplify mounting. Snap

apart carefully to separate mounting base from remainder of

thermostat.

Set Thermostat Configuration

Configuration options are intended to be selected at installation and

are normally not modified by the home owner. These options are

not discussed in the Homeowner’s Guide and therefore must be

made as part of the installation. A special procedure allows entry

into the configuration mode. The thermostat will automatically exit

this mode if no button is pressed for 3 minutes. While in the

configuration mode, up to 14 option choices can be made:

NOTE: If thermostat will not separate, insert a small screwdriver

into top slots for ease of opening.

. Route thermostat wires through large hole in mounting

base. Level mounting base against wall (for aesthetic value

only -- thermostat need not be leveled for proper operation)

and mark wall through 2 mounting holes.

. Drill two 3/16” (5mm) mounting holes in wall where

marked.

Option 01: Anticipator setting

Option 02: Clean filter setting

Option 03: Fahrenheit or Celsius selection

Option 04: Enable fan (G) on with W output

Option 05: HP / AC

. Secure mounting base to wall with 2 anchors and screws

provided, (additional anchoring holes available for more se-

cure mounting if needed) making sure all wires extend

through hole in mounting base.

. Adjust length and routing of each wire to reach proper ter-

minal and connector block on mounting base with 1/4”

Option 07: Enable zoning

Option 10: O (reversing valve) ON with Heat or Cool (present on

Heat Pump models only)

(6mm) of extra wire. Strip only 1/4” (6mm) of insulation

from each wire to prevent adjacent wires from shorting

together when connected.

Option 13: Room temperature offset adjustment

Option 15: Enable AUTO mode

Option 18: Backlight Configuration

Option 19: Equipment Present

. Match and connect equipment wires to proper terminals of

the connector blocks. (See Table 1.)

Option 21: Keypad Lockout

An explanation for each of these and how to enter the

configuration mode follows.

To enter the configuration mode:

To enter Configuration Mode, hold the FAN button down for

approximately 15 seconds. After the 15 second period, Option

turned on.

. Use up and down buttons to display Option 03. The SET

icon should be off.

NOTE: If the FAN button is pressed again or if no button is

pressed for 3 minutes, the thermostat will exit the configuration

mode and return to normal operation. To reenter the configuration

mode, the FAN button must be pressed and held for 15 seconds

again.

. Press MODE button once. The SET icon will come on. The

display now shows Option 03 setting.

. Use up and down buttons to move between the available

Option 03 choices of F (Fahrenheit) or C (Celsius). Factory

default is F.

While in configuration mode:

The display is used to show both the option number and the

selection choice within that option.

. Press MODE button again to return to Option 03. The SET

icon will now be off.

OPTION 01 -- ANTICIPATOR ADJUSTMENT

. Use up and down buttons to select another Option, or press

FAN button to exit configuration mode.

This adjustment controls the sensitivity and cycle rate of the

thermostat. Higher numbers decrease the sensitivity and slow the

cycle rate. Lower numbers increase sensitivity and increase cycle

rate. However, a limiting feature will not allow more than 6

equipment cycles per hour, regardless of setting. Values can range

from 1 to 9. Factory default setting is 3. This default selection will

provide optimum performance in nearly all installations. Try it

first. Do not change setting unless there is evidence of need to do

so.

Unlike conventional anticipators, this setting is not to be

determined by current draw. There is no need to measure, know, or

compensate for current. There is also no droop with this

thermostat, regardless of anticipator setting. This adjustment

controls only sensitivity and cycle rate up to the maximum of 6

cycles per hour.

OPTION 04 -- G (FAN) ON WITH W OUTPUT

This selection determines whether the G (fan) output is to be ON or

OFF when any W (furnace or strip heat) output is ON. Most

furnaces and fan coils manage their own blowers and do not

require a separate G signal. For these applications, select OFF.

Some auxiliary heaters require a separate G signal to turn on the

blower. In this case, select On. Factory default is OF (off).

To Select:

1. Enter configuration mode (if not already there).

2. Use up and down buttons to display Option 04. The SET

icon should be off.

. Press MODE button once. The SET icon will come on. The

display now shows Option 04 setting.

To Adjust:

. Use up and down buttons to move between available

Option 04 choices of ON or OF. Factory default is OF.
