The Thermostat can also run on the provided 6VDC plug-in adapter. It plugs
into the Thermostat under the top cover.
NOTE: The Thermostat can be wall mounted by removing the "C" battery
stand, the 6VDC power adapter is required for operation.
ïRemove top cover to
configure the Thermostat.
Refer to the step-by-step

After you have finished the wiring of the WALL UNIT unit and the set the
JUMPERs of the Thermostat, the two units must be radio connected
before they can be used. If the BINDING LED at the WALL UNIT unit is on
solid, they are connected; if it is NOT ON follow this procedure connect
them.
On the WALL UNIT
Push and Hold the binding button
Touch the reset button once
When the binding LED is on solid, release the binding button
On the 6021Z THERMOSTAT
Push and Hold the binding button
Touch the reset button once
When the TEMPERATURE comes on screen, release the binding button
The above procedures clears the two radios so they can now be
connected by doing the following:
Push the Wall Unit's BINDING button once.
Push the Thermostat's BINDING button once; watch the displayed
countdown and wait! The two units are radio connected when the B units
BINDING LED is on solid.
The ZigBee radio system
There have been many radio controlled thermostat systems but they were
one way and there was no indication if they were working. The new
ZigBee radio is two way, it sends the command and gets back confirmation
that the command was received and implemented.
There is a radio tower icon on the Thermostat lower right display. If this
icon is not there, communication has been lost. If this occurs, all HVAC
functions are shut off.
Though the units are designed to work at least 100 feet from each other
that distance can be affected by interference or blocking from walls etc. If
your Thermostat unit cannot stay in communication (the radio tower icon
does not stay on) you may need a repeater unit between the two which
can be purchased at home depot.
The radio tower icon also shows a radiation pattern every time the
Thermostat communicates with the WALL UNIT unit.

NOTE: If you have labeled your wires, follow the correct Step-By-Step, and
these Check procedures do not operate your system call support at
1-877-505-2353
Check the system
Once the two units are connected, follow these procedures to verify you
have correctly installed the Thermostat and its WALL UNIT unit.
Because of the radio communication
confirmation system, there will be a
small delay between the operation
and the function. Follow these
procedures to verify you have
correctly installed the 6021z system.
To check Fan: (If you connected the
G wire - fan relay)
ïSwitch the FAN switch to the ON
position. You should see the FAN light go ON on the Wall Unit and verify that
air is blowing from the system.
Return to AUTO position for normal operation.
To check HEAT mode:
Set the mode switch to HEAT.
Set the fan switch to AUTO.
ïUsing the TEMP + button raise the Target Temp to 90deg.
Allow the system 2 min to respond.
ïVerify that heat is blowing from the system. HEAT light on the Wall Unit
should go ON.
To check COOL mode:
ïSet the mode switch to COOL.
ïPress the TEMP - button to a temp 5 degrees below the room temp.
Allow the system 2 minutes to respond.
ïVerify that cool air is blowing from the system. COOL light on the Wall Unit
should go ON.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed your unit.
Please proceed to the OPERATING Guide to initialize the
6021z System.

NOTE:The Thermostat comes from the factory calibrated to +/- 1o of actual
temperature. It is an accurate instrument. If you want your thermostat to
display the same temperature as another thermometer in your home, you
can adjust its calibration.
To change the calibration:
Remove the top cover.
Locate the calibration switch and slide it to the ON
position. The current calibration factor (+/-) of the
Thermostat will appear in the LCD display.
Push the UP or DOWN arrows until the desired
calibration factor is reached.
Slide the Calibration switch to the OFF position. The
new calibrated temperature will be displayed on the LCD.

The new ZigBee radio is two way, it sends the command and gets back
confirmation that the command was received and implemented.
There is a radio tower icon on the Thermostat lower right display. If this
icon is not there, communication has been lost. If this occurs, all HVAC
functions are shut off. The radio tower icon also shows a radiation pattern
every time the Thermostat communicates with the WALL UNIT unit.
Though the units are designed to work at least 100 feet from each other
that distance can be affected by interference or blocking from walls etc. If
your Thermostat unit cannot stay in communication (the radio tower icon
does not stay on) you may need a repeater unit between the two which can
be purchased at home depot.
