Installation

Turn off power to HVAC system before installation. Remove old thermostat and prepare mounting location.

  1. Turn off power: Switch off circuit breaker for HVAC system at main panel.
  2. Remove old thermostat: Carefully disconnect wires and label them according to terminal markings.
  3. Mount new baseplate: Level and secure to wall using provided screws.
  4. Connect wires: Insert labeled wires into corresponding terminals on baseplate.
  5. Attach thermostat: Align and snap onto baseplate until it clicks into place.
  6. Restore power and test: Turn circuit breaker back on and verify operation.

WARNING! Electrical shock hazard. Always turn off power before installation. If unsure, consult a qualified HVAC technician.

First-Time Setup

After installation, configure basic settings for proper operation.

  1. Set time and day: Press MENU, navigate to CLOCK SETTINGS, enter current time and day.
  2. Select temperature format: Choose Fahrenheit or Celsius in SYSTEM SETTINGS.
  3. Configure system type: Set for conventional or heat pump system if applicable.
  4. Set temperature limits: Establish minimum and maximum temperature boundaries.
  5. Install batteries: Insert 2 AA batteries for backup power (recommended).

CAUTION! Ensure correct wire connections to prevent system damage. Verify settings match your HVAC equipment type.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

Access functions via front panel buttons or menu system. Front Panel: UP/DOWN arrows, MENU, HOLD, FAN button, SYSTEM MODE switch.

Menu Navigation: Press MENU to access: SCHEDULE, CLOCK SETTINGS, SYSTEM SETTINGS, ENERGY HISTORY, FILTER TIMER, KEYPAD LOCK.

Temperature Adjustment: Use UP/DOWN arrows to change setpoint. System Mode: Switch between HEAT, COOL, AUTO (automatic changeover), OFF.

Filter Timer: Set reminder interval (30-365 days) for filter changes.

Connecting to HVAC System

Proper wiring is essential for correct operation. Refer to wiring diagram included with thermostat.

  1. Identify wires: Common wires include R (24V power), W (heat), Y (cooling), G (fan), C (common).
  2. Connect to terminals: Match wire labels to terminal designations on baseplate.
  3. Heat pump systems: Additional O/B wire for reversing valve (consult HVAC manual).
  4. Dual transformer systems: Use jumper between Rh and Rc if separate heating/cooling power.
  5. Secure connections: Ensure wires are firmly inserted and no bare wire is exposed.

Tip: Take photo of old thermostat wiring before removal for reference. Use wire labels provided in package.

Programming Schedule

  1. Access schedule: Press MENU, select SCHEDULE.
  2. Select day: Choose individual days or copy to multiple days.
  3. Set periods: Program WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN, SLEEP times (default: 6am, 8am, 6pm, 10pm).
  4. Set temperatures: For each period, program separate heat and cool setpoints.
  5. Review schedule: Navigate through days to verify settings.
  6. Copy schedule: Use COPY function to apply same schedule to similar days.
  7. Override temporarily: Use HOLD function for vacations or special occasions.
  8. Resume schedule: Press HOLD again or select RESUME SCHEDULE in menu.

WARNING! Extreme temperature settings may cause system strain. Recommended differential: Heat 68°F, Cool 78°F for energy savings.
