Location:
If replacing an old thermostat,
the new thermostat will be
mounted in place of the old.
If a new location is desired
it will be necessary to move
your wiring.
New installations and
relocation should follow
the guidelines below
to ensure the most accurate
temperature reading and ease
of use.
Removing Existing Thermostat:
• Mount thermostat on an
inside wall, approximately 5
ft. (1.5m) above the floor in a
frequently used room.
• Do not install in locations
near appliances or
devices that affect the
local temperature such as
televisions, lamps, or dryers.
• Avoid areas that are exposed
large temperature variances,
such as: direct sunlight, near
an AC unit, above or below
auxiliary heat and air vents,
and drafts from windows.
• Be aware of what is on the
other side of the wall the
thermostat is being installed
on. Do not install on walls
adjacent to unheated rooms,
stoves, or housing hot water
pipes.
• Damp areas will not only
affect the humidity reading
of your thermostat, but could
lead to corrosion shortening
the life of your thermostat.
• Install in a location with good
air circulation. Stagnant air
will not accurately reflect the
rate of change of temperature
in the room. Avoid areas
behind open doors, corners,
and alcoves.
• Wait until construction and
painting are finished before
installing.
Test your system
Verify that your heating and/
or cooling system is operating
properly before you try to
install your new thermostat.
Once power to the heating AND cooling systems is off follow these
steps:
DO NOT do so by shorting
(jumper) across electric
terminals at the furnace or air
conditioner. This may damage
the thermostat.
DO NOT REMOVE your
existing thermostat until
power has been turned off
at the circuit breaker.
• Remove cover from your existing thermostat. Do not disconnect
the wires yet.
TIP: Take a picture of the wires before you detach them from the
existing thermostat.
• Label all existing wires, one at a time, with the labels provided.
8 | Intelligent Thermostat User Guide

Removing Existing Thermostat:
Install Your New Thermostat
What wires does your system use?
Install the back plate
Wire your new thermostat
Make sure your wires are labeled correctly. It may
be necessary to find the ‘other end’ connection
for each wire on your heating or air conditioning
equipment and read the label there.
Use the bubble level provided
on the back plate as a guide.
Mark where the screws will
go with a pencil through the
screw holes on the back plate.
Go to page 8 to find the wiring diagram that matches your wiring
and insert the wires into the back plate.
IMPORTANT: This thermostat runs on batteries
and the C wire. If you do not have a C wire you
can run a new wire from the HVAC or use a
standard 24VAC wall transformer
• Disconnect all of the wires and remove the
existing thermostat.
TIP: Remember to secure the wires so they don’t
fall into the wall.
Prepare the wires
Please follow these guidelines for safe and
secure wire connections:
• Ensure the wires are a proper gauge.
CAUTION: Wiring can vary for each
manufacturer. Label all wiring before removing
it from your existing thermostat.
• Make sure wires have exposed straight ends
about 1/8” long.
CAUTION: Verify that your system is 24 VAC. If
your old system is labeled as 120 or 240 volts, or
has wire nuts your system is high voltage. Do not
install your thermostat to a high voltage system.
Contact your local HVAC professional for help.
TIPS:
• Use the trim plate to cover
up any marks or holes left
from the old thermostat.
Attach the trim plate before
securing the back plate to
the wall.
• Drill holes with 3/16” drill bit
to tap in the drywall anchors
for added support.
TIP: Anything that wasn’t connected to your old thermostat
shouldn’t be connected to your new thermostat either. You may
also have extra wires that do not match. Leave them as is.
EXCEPTIONS:
• If you have R, connect it to RH.
• If you have RH & RC remove black jumper in lower left corner of
back plate terminal board.
• Z can be used for W3, H, or DH.

Insert batteries into Thermostat body
The thermostat can be powered by battery or 24
VAC. If a wall transformer is used to power your
thermostat connect between C and RH.
Ensure the batteries are installed following the
specified polarity markings on the thermostat.
Connect the Thermostat to the Gateway
CAUTION: Special Battery Warning
• Bring Gateway to the Thermostat.
• Always replace the batteries as soon as Low
Battery is indicated. If the batteries die, your
thermostat could leave the HVAC system on,
overheating or freezing your home.
• Put the thermostat in OFF mode (No mode icons are lit).
• Always replace the batteries at least once a year.
This will protect your thermostat from damage
and corrosion by leaking batteries.
• If your home is unoccupied for a month or more,
such as vacation homes, you should replace
the batteries as a preventive measure against
battery failure while you are away.
• Use only new batteries when changing.
• Press the inclusion button on the Gateway.
• Press and hold the DOWN button the thermostat to begin pairing. The RADIO icon should start
blinking.
• When the RADIO icon becomes solid, the thermostat is joined to the network.
• Login to your account to sync your thermostat with the Building 36 system, or contact your local
professional for installation setup.

Install Thermostat body to back plate
Configure Your System
Check Your System
Your thermostat configuration will be done
online at the customer site on your customer
account page. Here you will configure the
parameters of your system, such as: Heat
Pump or Normal, number of heat and cool
stages, heating fuel, calibration temperature,
and configurable terminal (Z). Refer to your
configuration number on the wiring diagrams
page to see the values you should enter on the
online configuration.
By default the thermostat is configured to 2 heat
stages and 2 cool stages (2 Heat Pump, 2 Aux).
This is also were you have the option to change
advanced configuration settings, such as: Swing,
Differential, Recovery Setting, Fan Circulation
Period and Duty Cycle, Maximum Setpoints,
Minimum Setpoints, Thermostat Lock, Demand
Response Delay, Demand Response Duty Cycle,
and Modes Enabled.
Press the thermostat body firmly into the back
plate mounted to the wall. Ensure that the
pins on the body are correctly aligned with the
header attached to the terminal board on the
back plate. Failure to do so could cause damage
to the thermostat.
WARNING: Use caution when changing
advanced configuration settings. These
configuration settings should only be changed
by those familiar with heating and cooling
systems’ parameters. Contact your local HVAC
professional for help.

Troubleshooting
Batteries die quickly
If a thermostat is paired using a C-Wire, that
information is saved in the network and cannot
be changed unless removed and paired again
without a C-Wire connected. The same applies
for inclusions on battery power. If you find your
thermostat batteries are dying unusually quick,
check and make sure the C-Wire connection
is still intact. If a device is paired using C-Wire
the Z-Wave communication never sleeps and
the thermostat will act a repeater, sending
messages for other devices as well. If the C-Wire
is removed this kind of activity will drain the
battery very quickly.
Manual configuration of HVAC system on
thermostat
Exclusion of thermostat from Z-Wave
network
Heat pump is cooling when it should be
heating
The system type (Normal or Heat Pump) can be
physically set on the thermostat if necessary by
doing the following:
If for some reason the thermostat must be
removed from the network, follow the steps
below to do so.
1. Put thermostat in OFF mode.
1. Press and hold the exclusion button on the
gateway.
Because both types of heat pump reversing
valves share a single terminal on your thermostat
back plate, you need to be sure you have the
thermostat configured for the correct wire. Try
switching your O/B selection on the customer
thermostat configuration page. Contact your
local HVAC professional for further with this issue.
The same applies to a heat pump that is heating
when it should be cooling.
2. Press and hold the UP button.
3. Press UP or DOWN buttons to select either
‘HP’ for heat pump configuration or ‘NORM’ for
normal configuration.
4. Press MODE button to confirm your selection.
2. Press and hold the DOWN button the
thermostat to enter exclusion mode. The
RADIO icon will begin flashing red.
3. When the RADIO icon becomes solid the
thermostat has now been successfully
removed from the network.
Heating or cooling doesn’t turn on when the
target is set above or below the ambient
The thermostat is configured to have a minimum
setting of a half degree difference in temperature
from the target before the system turns on
to protect the system from damage due to
excessive use. The cooling system also has a built
in compressor delay. Each time compressor is
turned on, a large amount of pressure is built up
and must be equalized. This delay time prevents
damage to the compressor from not allowing
this pressure to equalize before being turned
on again.
For more help contact your local HVAC professional or Building 36 Technologies.
