• 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.

LOCATION
If 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 Thermostat
1. Test The System
Verify 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.

Install the Back Plate
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. 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 Thermostat
Reconnect 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 Wires
Follow 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 | 9
Install Thermostat Body to Back Plate
Verify 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.

CAUTION: 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.

(for example, natural gas, oil, or propane)
or backup heating.
• If Unsure - The system will automatically detect
which heat type is appropriate for your system.
Z1/Z2 Terminal Function
These are the “dynamic” terminals. If an auxiliary wire has
been connected, please specify the function it will perform.

THERMOSTAT SETUP
• Thermostat will automatically detect the connected wires.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the
thermostat conguration.
NOTE: If the thermostat screen does not show all the
connected wires, remove the thermostat from the wall
and verify that all wires are properly connected. If issues
persist, there may be an HVAC problem. Please contact
an HVAC service provider for assistance.
Depending on the system type and conguration, the
thermostat may request the following information
during setup:
Turn the Power On
Restore power to all the heating and cooling systems.
This can be done at the circuit breaker.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Heating or Cooling Doesn’t Turn On When the Setpoint is
Above or Below the Room Temperature
To prevent damaging the compressor, the thermostat inserts
a delay when cycling the compressor. If you think the system
should be on and it’s not, then change the setpoint to be
2 degrees beyond the current setpoint and wait 5 minutes
to see if the system turns on. If not, contact a local
HVAC professional.
Heat Pump is “Cooling When it Should be Heating” or
“Heating When it Should be Cooling”
Some heat pumps use the O terminal, while others use the B
terminal. Try switching the O or B wire to the opposite terminal.
Contact a local HVAC professional for further assistance.
