SMART THERMOSTAT 2 Product Manual | 1• Before installing or servicing the thermostat, turn o power to the system at the circuit breaker.• Leave power o until you have nished installing or servicing.• Shorting the electric terminals at the control on the heating or cooling system may damage the thermostat. Do not test the system this way.• You must follow all local codes and ordinances for wiring the system.• This thermostat should only be powered by 2 AAA alkaline batteries or a listed class 2 power supply at 24 VAC (C-Wire or wall transformer).• An amperage higher than 1 amp through each thermostat terminal may cause damage to the thermostat.• Verify that the system is 24 VAC. If the old system is labeled as 120 or 240 volts or has wire nuts, the system is high voltage. Do not install the thermostat to a high voltage system. Contact a local HVAC professional for help.

4 | SMART THERMOSTAT 2 Product Manual SMART THERMOSTAT 2Product Manual | 5LOCATIONIf replacing an old thermostat, the new thermostat can be mounted in its place. If a new location is desired it will be necessary to move the wiring. New installations and relocation should follow the accompanying guidelines to ensure the most accurate temperature reading and ease of use. • Mount thermostat on an inside wall, approximately 5 ft. (1.5m) above the oor in a frequently used room. • Do not install in locations near appliances or devices that aect the local temperature such as televisions, lamps, or dryers.• Avoid areas that are exposed to 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 where the thermostat is being installed. Do not install on walls adjacent to unheated rooms, stoves, or housing hot water pipes. • Damp areas will not only aect the humidity reading of the thermostat, but could lead to corrosion and shorten the life of the thermostat. • Install in a location with good air circulation. Stagnant air will not accurately reect the rate of temperature change in the room. Avoid areas behind open doors, corners, and alcoves. • Wait until construction and painting are nished before installing.PREPARATION The Existing Thermostat1. Test The SystemVerify that the heating and/or cooling system is operating properly before you try to install the new thermostat. DO NOT test the system by shorting electric terminals at the furnace or air conditioner. This may damage the thermostat. 2. Turn Power O• Turn all heating and cooling systems o. This can be done at the circuit breaker. CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE the existing thermostat until power has been turned o at the circuit breaker.Once power to the heating AND cooling systems is o, follow these steps:3. Remove Thermostat Cover• Remove the cover from the existing thermostat. Do not disconnect the wires yet. Make sure the wires are identied correctly. If you have an unidentied wire, it may be necessary to identify the wire where it connects to the heating or air conditioning equipment.
6 | SMART THERMOSTAT 2 Product Manual SMART THERMOSTAT 2 Product Manual | 7Install the Back PlateUse 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. Ensure the top of the back plate is facing up.TIP: If necessary, 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. TIP: Drill holes with 1/4” drill bit to tap in the drywall anchors for added support.Wire Your New ThermostatReconnect the wires to the new thermostat.TIP: If you have extra wires do not install them in the new thermostat. Please contact your local HVAC professional for additional assistance. • If you have R, connect it to RH.• Z1 or Z2 can be used for W3, H, DH, or EX.NOTE: If you have a 2-wire system (most common) or hydronic heating system, you must add the Power Resistor to the system. Connect this resistor at your heating equipment between the C and W terminals.CAUTION: Verify that the system is 24 VAC. If the old system is labeled as 120 or 240 volts or has wire nuts, the system is high voltage. Do not install the thermostat to a high voltage system. Contact a local HVAC professional for help.CAUTION: Wiring can vary for each manufacturer. Identify all wiring before removing it from the existing thermostat.TIP: Take a picture of the wires before you detach them from the existing thermostat for future reference.• 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 WiresFollow these guidelines for safe and secure wire connections:• Ensure the wires are a proper gauge between18-24 AWG.• Make sure wires have exposed straight ends about 1/8” long.INSTALL YOUR NEW THERMOSTAT
SMART THERMOSTAT 2Product Manual | 9Install Thermostat Body to Back PlateVerify that any excess wire is tucked back into the wall to allow room for the thermostat to sit ush against the back plate.Return the thermostat to the wall plate by pressing the thermostat body rmly into the back plate mounted to the wall. Ensure that the pins on the body are correctly aligned with the back plate. Failure to do so could cause damage to the thermostat.Insert Batteries Into the Thermostat The thermostat can be powered by battery or 24 VAC. If a wall transformer is used to power the thermostat, connect between C and RH.Ensure the batteries are installed following the specied polarity markings on the thermostat.Terminal DesignationsCONVENTIONAL SYSTEMTerminal DescriptionRC Cooling powerRH Heating powerZCongurable W3, H (humidier control), DH (dehumidifier control), EX (vent, external air baffle, ERV/HRV)Z2 Congurable W3, H (humidier control), DH (dehumidifier control), EX (vent, external air baffle, ERV/HRV)WHeat stage 1W2 Heat stage 2C Common wire from secondary sid of heating transformer (if 2 transformers)Y Cool stage 1Y2 Cool stage 2G FanO Energized in Cool modeB Energized in Heat modeHEAT PUMPRC Cooling powerRH Heating powerZCongurable W3, H (humidier control), DH (dehumidifier control), EX (vent, external air baffle, ERV/HRV)Z2 Congurable W3, H (humidier control), DH (dehumidifier control), EX (vent, external air baffle, ERV/HRV)WAux stage 1W2 Aux stage 2C Common wire from secondary side of heating transformer (if 2 transformers)Y Pump stage 1Y2 Pump stage 2G FanO Energized in Cool modeB Energized in Heat modeCAUTION: Special Battery Warning• Always replace the batteries as soon as you have low battery levels, indicated by a caution sign and “LOW BATTERY” ashing on the display. If the batteries drain, the thermostat could leave the HVAC system on or o, overheating or freezing the home.• Always replace the batteries when they are low to protect the thermostat from damage and corrosion by leaking batteries. • If the 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.• Always use new batteries as replacements. 8 | SMART THERMOSTAT 2Product Manual
