• Standard five terminals for single or two-transformer sys-  
tems  
Features:  
• Battery powered (3 “AA” Energizer® alkaline batteries in-  
cluded).  
• B and O terminals for single stage heat pumps or damper  
operation  
• Simultaneous heat and cool temperature storage  
• LCD continuously displays set point and room temperature  
PRECAUTIONS  
CAUTION  
Thisthermostatisintendedforusewithalowvoltagesystem;do  
not use this thermostat with a line voltage system. If in doubt  
about whether your wiring is millivolt, line, or low voltage, have  
itinspectedbyaqualifiedheatingandairconditioningcontractor  
or electrician.  
!
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment dam-  
age, disconnectelectricpowertosystem, atmainfuse  
or circuit breaker box, until installation is complete.  
Do not exceed the specification ratings.  
WARNING  
!
Allwiringmustconformtolocalandnationalelectricalcodesand  
ordinances.  
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage.  
Higher voltage will damage control and could cause  
shock or fire hazard.  
This control is a precision instrument, and should be handled  
carefully. Roughhandlingordistortingcomponentscouldcause  
the control to malfunction.  
Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary  
control to test. Short or incorrect wiring will damage  
thermostat and could cause personal injury and/or  
property damage.

INSTALLATION  
REMOVE OLD THERMOSTAT  
1. Shut off electricity at the main fuse box until installation is  
complete. Ensure that electrical power is disconnected.  
2. Remove the front cover of the old thermostat. With wires  
still attached, remove wall plate from the wall. If the old  
thermostathasawallmountingplate,removethethermostat  
and the wall mounting plate as an assembly.  
3. Identify each wire attached to the old thermostat using  
the labels enclosed with the new thermostat.

GAS  
4. Disconnect the wires from old thermostat one at a time. DO  
NOT LET WIRES FALL BACK INTO THE WALL.  
5. Install new thermostat using the following procedures.

install "+" ends to the left)  
If you have a single-stage heat pump system, OR your system  
uses central electric heat, where the blower is energized by a  
separate circuit through the fan relay (meaning that the fan  
turns on immediately on call for heat), then the switch on the  
back of the thermostat base must be moved to the “ELECTRIC”  
position (see fig. 1). If the thermostat is energizing electric heat  
sequencers, the switch MUST remain in the “GAS” position.

the electric heat switch (see ELECTRIC HEAT SYSTEMS,  
above).

2. Connect wires beneath terminal screws on base using  
appropriate wiring schematic (see figs. 3 through 10).

4. Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes.  
5. Fasten base loosely to wall, as shown in fig. 2, using two  
mounting screws. Place a level against bottom of base,  
adjust until level, and then tighten screws. (Leveling is for  
appearance only and will not affect thermostat operation.) If  
you are using existing mounting holes, or if holes drilled are  
too large and do not allow you to tighten base snugly, use  
plastic screw anchors to secure subbase.

BATTERY LOCATION

This thermostat requires 3 “AA” alkaline batteries to operate.  
Batteries are installed in the thermostat at the factory with a  
battery tag to prevent power drainage. You must remove the  
battery tag to engage the batteries and provide power to the  
thermostat.

CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION  
This thermostat has a built-in short-term (5-minute) time delay.  
This feature is activated after the compressor shuts down and  
the setpoint is changed within the 5-minute period. During this  
5-minute period, COOL will flash on the display indicating that  
the thermostat has locked out the compressor to allow head  
pressure to stabilize. This thermostat does not sense AC power  
loss and therefore does not activate the short term compressor  
protection feature when power is restored.  
If at any time during testing your system does not operate  
properly, contact a qualified serviceperson.

OPERATION  
Before you begin using your thermostat, you should be familiar  
with its features and with the display and the location and  
operation of the thermostat buttons. Your thermostat consists of  
two parts: the thermostat cover and the base. To remove the  
cover, gently pull it straight out from the base. To replace the  
cover, line up the cover with the base and press gently until the  
cover snaps onto the base.

batteries are low and should be replaced, the display will be  
blank except for the word BATTERY. When the batteries  
are low, pressing any button will cause the display to  
operate for ten seconds. After ten seconds, the display will

until the tempera-  
ture you want to maintain is shown on the right side of the  
display. If you want to turn the system off, just move the  
SYSTEM switch to OFF.  
The FAN switch controls the fan operation. When the FAN  
switch is set to AUTO, the fan will cycle with the furnace or air  
conditioner. When the FAN switch is set to ON, the fan will run  
continuously, regardless of SYSTEM switch position.
