This section describes the required tools, guidelines, and installation instructions for
the IMT.

#1 or #2 Phillips head screwdriver.
Drill with a 3/16” or 7/32” bit.

Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines to install the IMT:
Install the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 feet (1.5m) above the floor, and in
a room that is used often.
Install the CAT5/CAT5E/CAT6 cabling from the wiring center to the thermostat
installation site for model IMT550c. This is not required for the IMT550w model
(802.11 b/g wireless).
Install the thermostat in an area or room with adequate air circulation and where
there are no unusual heating/cooling conditions, such as: sunlight, near a lamp,
radio, television, radiator register, or fireplace; near hot water pipes in a wall; near
a stove on the other side of the wall, on a wall separating an unheated room; or in
a draft from a stairwell, door, or window; in a corner or alcove; or behind an open
door.
Install the unit after all construction work and painting is complete.
Preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD) — Static electricity may cause damage
to the components on the thermostat’s circuit module. Do not remove the
thermostat from the protective bag until you are ready to install the thermostat.
If you are replacing an existing thermostat, mount the thermostat in the same
location as the thermostat in which you are replacing.
