Check for locking screws on the side or front that must be loosened rst.3. Attach provided labels to each wire for identication. Refer to the lettered terminal where the wires attach; do not use the color of the wires.4. Disconnect wires from the existing thermostat, and wind them around a pencil to keep them from falling back inside the wall.5. Loosen all mounting screws on the old thermostat and remove it from the wall.CGWGWCGW4• Read instructions carefully before removing any wiring from an existing thermostat.• Label all wires before disconnecting them form the existing thermostat.! CAUTIONCWRHGYPreperation8

WiringVivint Element CT200 Installation GuideCWRHGYAttaching the Mounting Plate to the wall1. Carefully pull the labeled wires through the center hole in the mounting plate.2. Position thermostat for best appearance to cover the hole in the wall.3. Mark rst and drill a ¼ in. (6mm) hole at each screw location.4. If you are mounting the Thermostat to sheet rock or if you are using the old mounting holes, use the plastic anchors provided.5. Attach the Thermostat to the wall with the screws provided.9

WiringVivint Element CT200 Installation GuidePrepare WiresMake sure your wires are labeled. If necessary, nd the “other end” connection for each wire on your heating or air conditioning equipment and note the label there. 1. Fan out wires so that they are aligned with their terminals. 2. Do not bunch wires in front of the mounting plate. Feed any slack back into the wall.Follow these guidelines for safe and secure wire connections:• Use at least 2.6 in. of wire for each of your connections to the Thermostat.• If you do not have enough wire, splice additional wire to allow enough slack.• Terminals accept wires from 16-22 awg.• Remove 1/8 in. insulation from the tip of each wire.• Take care not to damage the labels for each wire.! CAUTIONDo not allow wires to touch each other or other parts on the thermostat. If you have both RH and RC connections, you must set the RC/RH Switch to OPEN. If you do not have both connections, set the switch to CLOSED.CWRHGY10

WiringVivint Element CT200 Installation GuideConnecting Your WiresReference the Detailed Wire Diagram on page 23 to identify your wiring diagram and set-up information. If necessary, contact customer support for help.1. Connect a labeled wire only to a matching lettered terminal.2. Press the lever next to the terminal letter, then insert the wire in the terminal well.3. Make sure to insert the wire into the terminal well as far as it will go, then release the lever. The wire should be secure and not pull free easily.The Thermostat can be externally powered with a power source rated from 12V to 24V, AC or DC, at 100ma or greater. If used, connect to the C and RH terminals (no polarity).The 24VAC “C” wire is the other side of the 24VAC heating transformer and can be found where the other thermostat wires connect at the wall or at the furnace. Do not use the common or ground side of the line voltage.The Thermostat runs on 4 AA alkaline batteries, the C wire (if available), or both 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 12-24V [AC or DC] wall transformer.The C-wire is optional but preferred for all installations.CWRHGYExample of 5 Wire Heat/Cool System 11

WiringVivint Element CT200 Installation GuideBattery InstallationPower Supply While the thermostat can run without batteries on C-wire power, you should install batteries as well to provide power to the unit during outages. See the Thermostat Battery Cautions.1. Install four (4) AA alkaline batteries following the marked polarity in the battery compartments. Insert the battery negative end rst against the spring, then push the positive end in.2. With all the wires connected and the unit attached to the wall, it is time to turn the AC power back on. Reconnect the power at the breaker you used to switch it o. The Thermostat will power-up in the OFF mode.3. Your Thermostat is not yet congured to operate your HVAC system. You must now connect your thermostat to a Z-Wave Network and congure the HVAC and Heat Source settings.12

WiringVivint Element CT200 Installation Guide• Always use new Alkaline batteries.• Do not use rechargeable batteries of any type. They will not operate the thermostat properly and may lead to damage.• Do not mix old and new batteries.• Do not mix battery types, for example Lithium with Alkaline.• Do not dispose of batteries in re. Batteries may explode or leak.• Always replace the batteries as soon as the “Low Batt” warning ashes. The thermostat is a battery-powered device; you should replace the batteries before they run out, as failure to replace batteries can result in excessive heating or cooling of your house.• Always replace the batteries once a year, even if the “Low Batt” indicator does not ash. Replacing the batteries also helps to prevent leakage that can corrode and damage the thermostat.• If you are leaving your home for a month or more, you should replace the batteries as a precaution against battery failure in your absence.• Failing to replace the batteries when necessary could cause the thermo-stat to lose power or malfunction. If the thermostat loses power, then the thermostat will not control the temperature, which could result in your HVAC system not functioning as you intended and lead to possible damage from excessive heating or cooling.• If the thermostat batteries fail with the heat OFF, this can result in NO HEAT and possible frozen or broken pipes and water damage.• If the thermostat batteries fail with the cool OFF, this can result in NO COOL and could cause possible damage or excessive temperatures.!

SET UP YOUR ELEMENTTHERMOSTAT THROUGH THE VIVINT PANEL2615

Setup3Vivint Element CT200 Installation GuideZ-Wave and Power SupplyThe thermostat’s node type is xed when it connects to the Z-Wave network; if the C-Wire is not connected and is only battery-powered when connecting to the network, the thermostat will remain a frequent listening routing slave (FLiRS) node until it is removed from the network. When your thermostat is running on battery power, the Z-Wave radio will turn o to help conserve battery life. The Thermostat Z-Wave radio module supports Z-Wave beaming, which allows other devices in the network to wake up the Z-Wave module and accept commands and then go back to sleep.When your thermostat is running on C-Wire power, the Z-Wave radio will stay on and actively help route messages within the Z-Wave network. The thermostat’s node type is xed when it connects to the Z-Wave network; if the C-Wire is present and powered when connecting to the network, the thermostat will remain an always-listening node until it is removed from the network.Z-Wave and Thermostat ProgramsYou must connect the Thermostat to a Z-Wave network. This unit cannot operate without a network connection. When you are paired to a Z-Wave system, the Z-Wave application on your device controls your thermostat’s programs. You can still temporarily override settings on the thermostat itself, but otherwise you control it remotely.16
