Copywrite 2019, Smart Forced Air, Inc.  Page 3 of 8 Welcome! Thank you for your purchase of the Smart Forced Air Thermostat product. Introduction The Thermostat product is designed to allow the user to add climate control zones to their home or office.  Each Thermostat can be associated (i.e. linked) to one or more SFA (Smart Forced Air) Registers.  Physical Installation Select the Location: Each SFA Thermostat will ideally be located on a building’s interior wall, away from direct sunlight, and located away from other direct sources of heating or cooling.  For example, it would be best to not locate the Thermostat directly over a candle, a stereo, a TV, or some other piece of electronics that generates a lot of heat. Typical installation heights range between 36” to 60”, depending on the preferences of the users and the physical requirements of the particular location. The overall governing rule of thermostat location is to select a place that will do a good job of representing the temperature of the particular zone you are controlling.   Mounting Wall Plate: Before attaching the Wall Plate to the wall, keep in mind that the first location selected for a Thermostat might not be your final ideal location – making use of the included 3M command strips can be useful to test a location before “committing” to the location with screws in the wall.   Once the location has been selected, the Thermostats Wall Plate can be attached to the wall.  Two methods of attachment have been provided to keep installation fast, clean, and easy.  The first method is to use the provided 3M Command Strips (part number XXXXX).  The second method is to use screws with sheet rock anchors (also provided).  Take note of the level bubble on the Wall Plate to help you achieve a level installation of the wall plate.   Mounting Thermostat: Once the Wall Plate has been attached to the wall, insert the three included AA batteries into the Thermostat (note battery polarity).  After the batteries have been inserted, and the display can be seen, simply press the Thermostat onto the Wall Plate, and the Thermostat will snap into place.   To remove the Thermostat from the Wall Plate, simply pull the Thermostat until the clips release; it should not take much force to release the Thermostat from the Wall Plate.
