Location
If replacing an old thermostat, the new
thermostat can be mounted in its place.
If a new location is desired it will be
necessary to move the wiring.
New installation and relocation should
follow the accompanying guidelines to
ensure the most accurate temperature
reading and ease of use.
• Mount thermostat on an inside wall,
approximately 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor
in a frequently used room.
• Do not install in locations near appliances
or devices that affect the local temperature
such as televisions, lamps, or dryers.
• Avoid areas that are exposed to large
temperature variances, such as:
direct sunlight, near an AC unit,
above or below auxiliary heat and
air vents, and drafts from windows.
• Be aware of what is on the other side
of the wall where the thermostat is
being installed. Do not install on walls
adjacent to unheated rooms, stoves,
or housing hot water pipes.
• Damp areas will not only affect the
humidity reading of the thermostat, but
could lead to corrosion and shorten the life
of the thermostat.
• Install in a location with good air circulation.
Stagnant air will not accurately reflect the
rate of temperature change in the room.
• Avoid areas behind open doors, corners,
and alcoves.
• Wait until construction and painting are
finished before installing.
Preparation
Test the system
Verify that the heating and/or cooling system is
operating properly before you try to install the
new thermostat.
CAUTION: Do not test the system by
shorting electric terminals at the furnace or
air conditioner. This may damage
the thermostat.
Turn the power off
Turn all heating and cooling systems off.
This can be done at the circuit breaker.
CAUTION: Do not remove the existing
thermostat until power has been turned off
at the circuit breaker.
Once power to the heating and cooling systems
is off, perform the following steps:
Remove the thermostat cover
Remove the cover from the existing thermostat.
Do not disconnect the wires yet.
Take a picture of the wires before you detach
them from the existing thermostat for
future reference.
