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.
