WIRING  
Location  
Install the thermostat about 5 ft (1.5m) above the floor in an  
area with good air circulation at average temperature. See  
Fig. 2.  
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and  
ordinances. Follow equipment manufacturer wiring  
instructions when available. Refer to Fig. 15 through 20 for  
typical hookups. A letter code is located near each terminal  
for identification. Refer to Table 4 for terminal designations.  
Do not install the thermostat where it can be affected by:  
drafts, or dead spots behind doors and in corners.  
hot or cold air from ducts.  
radiant heat from sun or appliances.  
concealed pipes and chimneys.  
unheated (uncooled) areas such as an outside wall  
behind the thermostat.  
CAUTION  
Disconnect power before wiring to prevent electrical  
shock or equipment damage.  
1
. Loosen the terminal screws on the wallplate and  
connect the system wires. See Fig. 4  
Wallplate Installation  
The thermostat can be mounted horizontally on the wall or on  
a 2 in. x 4 in. wiring box. Position wallplate horizontally on the
