Before you go any further, determine
what your existing wiring and equipment
situation is.
A. If you have a Heating only system without Air Conditioning, the First
Alert model sTHERM-500 will require 3 wires: R (24Vac), C (24Vac)
and W (Heat). Most systems that only have Heating use very simple
thermostats that require 2 wires: the R (24Vac) and W (Heat). The
THERM-500 thermostat requires 3 wires to supply power to the
thermostat. In this case an Add-a-Wire accessory will not work and it
will be necessary to install another wire for the C (24Vac) connection.
B. If you have a single stage fossil fuel heater with air conditioning, the
First Alert model THERM-500 will require 5 wires for independent fan
control. They are R (24Vac), C (24Vac), W (Heat), Y (Cooling), and G
(Fan). You may connect only 4 wires, as instructed in the “Making 4
Wires Work When 5 Wires Are Required” section on page 50.
If there are only 4 wires present that are connected to the existing
thermostat, there are at least 3 options available to connect the First
Alert THERM-500:
1. Use the 4 wires as instructed in the“Making 4 Wires Work
When 5 Wires Are Required” section on page 50, and note that
the fan will only operate with a Heating or Cooling demand.
2. Pull new thermostat wire from the HVAC equipment to the
thermostat so that there are at least 5 wires available.
3. Purchase and install an Add-A-Wire accessory.
C. If you have a multi-stage HVAC system comprised of a fossil fuel
heater with air conditioning, the First Alert model THERM-500 will
require the 5 wires mentioned above (R, C, W, Y, G) plus an additional
wire for each additional stage of Heating or Cooling. You may reduce
the 5 wire requirement to 4 if you give up independent fan control
following the instruction in the “Making 4 Wires Work When 5 Wires
Are Required” section on page 50, or use the optional Add-A-Wire
accessory.
Installation Instructions
52
D. If you have a heat pump without aux heat, the First Alert model
THERM-500 will require 5 wires: R (24Vac), C (24Vac), W1/O/B
(Reversing Value), Y (1st Stage Compressor), and G (Fan).
If you are short 1 wire, there are at least 3 options available to connect
the First Alert model THERM-500:
1. Use the available wires as instructed in the“Making 4 Wires
Work When 5 Wires Are Required” section on page 50 and note
that the fan will only operate with a Heating or Cooling demand.
2. Pull new thermostat wire from the HVAC equipment to the
thermostat so that there are at least 5 wires available.
3. Purchase and install an Add-A-Wire accessory.
E. If you have a heat pump with aux heat, the First Alert model
THERM-500 will require 6 wires: R (24Vac), C (24Vac), W1/O/B
(Reversing Value), Y (1st Stage Compressor), W2 (Aux Heat), and G
(Fan).
If you are short 1 wire, there are at least 3 options available to connect
the First Alert model THERM-500:
1. Use the available wires as instructed in the“Making 5 Wires
Work When 6 Wires Are Required” section on page 51 and note
that the fan will only operate with a Heating or Cooling demand.
2. Pull new thermostat wire from the HVAC equipment to the
thermostat so that there are at least 6 wires available.
3. Purchase and install an Add-A-Wire accessory.
Installation Instructions
53
Making 4 Wires Work When 5 Wires Are Required
If you have System B from page 48 and you would like to install the First
Alert model THERM-500 using only 4 wires, follow the directions below.
You will need a screwdriver along with a 3" long piece of thermostat wire
to use as a jumper:
1. Make sure the power is off.
2. Label and disconnect wires at the thermostat. Please note the color
and corresponding wire designator with each color. For example:
The R wire is red and the W wire is white and so on. You will need
this information handy for the next step at the HVAC equipment.
3. At the HVAC equipment end of the thermostat wires (usually at the
furnace), locate the terminals that the wires are attached to.
4. Remove the “G wire” from the terminal marked G.
5. Place the “G wire” on terminal C.
6. Place one end of the 3" long jumper on terminal G.
7. Place the other end of the 3" long jumper on terminal Y. Please note
that there will be more than 1 wire on terminal Y.
8. When connecting the wires to the First Alert thermostat, note that
the wire that was previously connected to the G terminal of the old
thermostat will now be required to be connected to the C terminal
on the First Alert thermostat. All other wires will be connected such
that the connections on each end of the individual wires match
terminal designations. For example: Connect the yellow wire on the
thermostat end to the Y terminal on the thermostat. The yellow wire
will be connected to the Y terminal on the HVAC equipment end also.
Installation Instructions

Making 5 Wires Work When 6 Wires Are Required
If you have System C or E from pages 48-49 or any system that requires 6
wires, and you would like to install the First Alert model THERM-500 using
only 5 wires, follow the directions below. You will need a screwdriver
along with a 3" long piece of thermostat wire to use as a jumper:
1. Make sure the power is off.
2. Label and disconnect wires at the thermostat. Please note the color
and corresponding wire designator with each color. For example:
The R wire is red and the W wire is white and so on. You will need
this information handy for the next step at the HVAC equipment.
3. At the HVAC equipment end of the thermostat wires (usually at the
furnace), locate the terminals that the wires are attached to.
4. Remove the “G wire” from the terminal marked G.
5. Place the “G wire” on terminal C.
6. Place one end of the 3" long jumper on terminal G.
7. Place the other end of the 3" long jumper on terminal Y. Please note
that there will be more than 1 wire on terminal Y.
8. When connecting the wires to the First Alert thermostat, note that
the wire that was previously connected to the G terminal of the old
thermostat will now be required to be connected to the C terminal
on the First Alert thermostat. All other wires will be connected such
that the connections on each end of the individual wires match
terminal designations. For example: Connect the yellow wire on the
thermostat end to the Y terminal on the thermostat. The yellow wire
will be connected to the Y terminal on the HVAC equipment end also.

Installation Instructions
This dip switch configures the thermostat to control a
conventional gas/electric system or a heat pump. If your
system is anything other than a heat pump, leave this
switch set for GAS/EL.*
*For some commercial heat pumps, this switch may need
to be set for GAS/EL. Consult the commercial heat pump
literature.
When the GAS/EL or HP dip switch is configured for HP,
this dip switch (O or B) must be set to control the
appropriate reversing valve. If O is chosen, the W1/O/B
terminal will energize in cooling. If B is chosen, the
W1/O/B terminal will energize in heating.
1. When GAS/EL or HP is set for GAS/EL:
This switch (GAS or ELEC) controls how the thermostat
will control the Fan (G) terminal in heating mode. When
GAS is chosen, the thermostat will not energize the
Fan (G) terminal in heating. When ELEC is chosen the
thermostat will energize the fan in heating.
2. When GAS/EL or HP is set for HP:
This switch (GAS or ELEC) defines the Aux Heat type.
When GAS is chosen, the auxiliary heat will not be
allowed to run during heat pump operation. When
using a Dual Fuel system, set this switch for GAS.
When ELEC is chosen, up to two stages of auxiliary
strip heat will be allowed to run.
