Before removing wires from old thermostat’s switching subbase,
label each wire with the terminal designation it was removed from.
1. Remove Old Thermostat: A standard heat/cool thermostat
consists of three basic parts:
a. The cover, which may be either a snap-on or hinge type.
b. The base, which is removed by loosening all captive screws.
c. The switching subbase, which is removed by unscrewing
the mounting screws that hold it on the wall or adaptor plate.
2. Shut off electricity at the main fuse box until installation is
complete. Ensure that electrical power is disconnected.
3. Remove the front cover of the old thermostat. With wires still
attached, remove wall plate from the wall. If the old thermostat
has a wall mounting plate, remove the thermostat and the wall
mounting plate as an assembly.
4. Identify each wire attached to the old thermostat.
5. Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat one at a time.
DO NOT LET WIRES FALL BACK INTO THE WALL.
6. Install new thermostat using the following procedures.

WARNING

Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage.
Higher voltage will damage control and could cause
shock or fire hazard.
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.
Thermostat installation and all components of the system shall conform to Class II circuits per the NEC code.

Electric Heat or Single-Stage
Heat Pump Systems
This thermostat is configured from the factory to operate a heat/
cool, fossil fuel (gas, oil, etc.), forced air system. It is configured
correctly for any system that DOES NOT require the thermostat
to energize the fan on a call for heat. If your system is an electric
or heat-pump system that REQUIRES the thermostat to turn on
the fan on a call for heat, locate the GAS/ELECTRIC switch (see
fig. 1) and switch it to the ELECTRIC position. This will allow the
thermostat to energize the fan immediately on a call for heat. If you
are unsure if the heating/cooling system requires the thermostat
to control the fan, contact a qualified heating and air conditioning
service person.

Attach Thermostat Base to Wall
1. Remove the packing material from the thermostat. Gently pull
the cover straight off the base. Forcing or prying on the
thermostat will cause damage to the unit. If necessary, move
the electric heat switch (see ELECTRIC HEAT SYSTEMS,
above).
2. Connect wires beneath terminal screws on base using appropriate wiring schematic (see figs. 2 through 7).
3. Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole locations
on wall using base as a template.
4. Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes.
5. Fasten base loosely to wall, as shown in fig. 1, 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.
6. Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire-resistant
material (such as fiberglass insulation) to prevent drafts from
affecting thermostat operation.

Hydronic (Hot Water or Steam)
Heating Systems
This thermostat is set to operate properly with a forced-air heating
system. If you have a hydronic heating system (a system that
heats with hot water or steam), you must set the thermostat to
operate properly with your system by changing the first option in
the configuration menu to SL (see configuration menu, page 5).

CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION
NOTE
To prevent static discharge problems, touch side of thermostat to release static build-up before touching any keys.
If at any time during testing your system does not operate
properly, contact a qualified serviceperson.

Fan Operation
If your system does not have a G terminal connection, skip to
Heating System.
1. Turn on power to the system.
2. Move fan switch to ON position. The blower should begin to
operate.
3. Move fan switch to AUTO position. The blower should stop
immediately.

Cooling System

! CAUTION
To prevent compressor and/or property damage, if the
outdoor temperature is below 50°F, DO NOT operate the
cooling system.

This thermostat has a time delay between cooling cycles to allow
the head pressure in the compressor to stabilize. If the temperature is adjusted to call for cool within 5 minutes of the last cycle the
snowflake icon will blink indicating the thermostat is locked out.
After 3 to 5 minutes, the compressor will start and the snowflake
icon will stop flashing. This helps prevent the compressor from
cycling too quickly and is normal operation for the thermostat.
1. Move SYSTEM switch to COOL position.
2. Press
to adjust thermostat setting below room temperature. The blower should come on immediately on high speed,
followed by cold air circulation
3. Press
to adjust temperature setting above room temperature. The cooling system should stop operating.

Heating System
1. Move SYSTEM switch to HEAT position. If the heating system
has a standing pilot, be sure to light it.
2. Press
to adjust thermostat setting above room temperature. The heating system should begin to operate.
3. Press
to adjust temperature setting below room temperature. The heating system should stop operating.

Operating Features
Now that you are familiar with the thermostat buttons and display,
read the following information to learn about the many features of
the thermostat.
• SIMULTANEOUS HEATING/COOLING SETPOINT
STORAGE — You can enter both your heating and cooling
setpoints at the same time. There is no need to re-enter the
thermostat at the beginning of each season.
• TEMPERATURE SETTING — Press
or
until the
display shows the temperature you want. The thermostat will
keep the room temperature at the selected temperature.
• °F/°C CONVERTIBILITY — The factory default setting is
Fahrenheit. If you need Celsius temperature setting, go to
menu mode and change the fifth option to C (see configuration menu, page 5).
• TEMPERATURE DISPLAY ADJUSTMENT — Your new
thermostat has been accurately set in our factory. However,if
you wish, you may adjust your new thermostat temperature
display to match your old thermostat. This can be accomplished (within a ±4° range) by going into the menu mode (see
configuration menu, page 5).

CONFIGURATION MENU

The configuration menu allows you to set certain thermostat operating characteristics to your system or personal requirements.
With the system switch in “OFF” mode, press
and
keys
at the same time to enter the configuration menu. The display will
show the first item in the configuration menu.
The configuration menu table summarizes the configuration
options. An explanation of each option follows.
Press
and
together momentarily to change to the next
menu item. To exit the menu, change the system switch from OFF
to HEAT or COOL. If no action is taken within fifteen minutes, the
thermostat will revert to normal operation.
2) Select FA or SL (Fast or Slow) Heating Cycle Rate—The
FA setting is frequently used for gas, oil or electric heat. The
SL setting produces a longer heating cycle which is normally
for hot water or steam (hydronic) systems. Both settings
produce very accurate temperature control and can be set to
your personal preference. FA cycles the system just under
1°F and the SL setting cycles at approximately 1.5F°.
3) Not Available
4) Select Compressor Lockout LOC OFF or ON—Selecting
LOC ON will cause the thermostat to wait 5 minutes before
turning on the compressor if the heating and cooling system
loses power. It will also wait 5 minutes minimum between
cooling cycles. This is intended to help protect the compressor from short cycling. Some newer compressors already

Symptom

Possible Cause

Corrective Action

No Cool

1. System Switch not set to Cool.

Set System Switch to Cool and lower temp below
room temp.
Verify thermostat and system wires are securely
attached.
Same procedure as diagnostic for No Heat
condition except set the thermostat to Cool and
lower the setpoint below the room temperature.
There may be up to a five minute delay before the
thermostat clicks in Cooling.

2. Loose connection to thermostat or system.
3. Cooling system requires service or

Heat, Cool or Fan Runs Constantly.

1. Possible short in wiring.
2. Possible short in thermostat.
3. Possible short in heat/cool/fan system.
4. Fan Switch set to Fan On.

Check each wire connection to verify they are not
shorted or touching together. No bare wire should
stick out from under terminal screws. If the
condition persists the manufacturer of your
system or service person can instruct you on how
to test the Heat/Cool system for correct operation.
If the system operates correctly, replace the
thermostat.

Furnace Cycles Too Fast or Too Slow
(narrow or wide temperature swing)

1. The location of the thermostat and/or the
size of the Heating System may be
influencing the cycle rate.

Digital thermostats normally provide precise
temperature control and may cycle faster than
some older mechanical models. A faster cycle
rate means the unit turns on and off more
frequently but runs for a shorter time so there is
no increase in energy use. If you would like to
increase the cycle time, go to menu mode as
mentioned in the instructions for Hydronic Heating
Systems. It is not possible to shorten the cycle
time. If an acceptable cycle rate is not achieved as
received or by changing cycle time from FAST to
SLOW on the menu mode contact a local
service person for additional suggestions.

Cooling Cycles Too Fast or Too Slow
(narrow or wide temperature swing)

1. The location of the thermostat and the size
of the Cooling System can influence the
cycle rate.

The cycle rate for cooling is fixed and can not be
adjusted. Contact a local service person for
suggestions.

Thermostat Setting and Thermostat
Thermometer Disagree

1. Thermostat thermometer setting requires
adjustment.

The thermometer can be adjusted +/- 4 degrees.
See Temperature Display Adjustment in the
Operation section.

Blank Display and/or Keypad
Not Responding

1. Thermostat loss of power
2. Voltage spike or static discharge.

Check possible blown fuse or tripped breaker.
Turn the system power off. Wait for 5 minutes and
turn the power on.
