TR60 Thermostat Installation
The TR60 thermostat is a two part thermostat with a Wall Display Unit (WDU) and a HVAC Control Unit.
Install theTR60 Wall Display Unit (WDU) on the wall in the traditional thermostat location. The HVAC
Control Unit is typically installed at the HVAC mechanical system location, but it can be installed anywhere
in the wiring between the WDU and the HVAC system.
Wiring
Retrofit installations
The Wall Display Unit replaces the traditional thermostat. The existing thermostat wiring can be used (4
wires required). Install the TR60 WDU at the thermostat end and simply cut the cable at the desired
location of the HVAC Control Unit and connect it in the line. 4 wires are required between the WDU and
HVAC Control Unit and typically 5 wires are required between the HVAC Control Unit and the HVAC
system. Heat Pump and Multistage systems may require additional wires between the HVAC Control Unit
and the HVAC System. Consult your HVAC system wiring diagram.
New Construction
For new installations, prewire the thermostat location back to the mechanical HVAC system with either
thermostat wire, 5 conductor, (18-20ga) or Cat 5 cabling. The TS60 WDU wires to the HVAC Control Unit
with this cable. The HVAC Control Unit wires to the HVAC system with thermostat wiring, typically 5 wire,
18-20Ga. Heat Pump and Multistage systems may require additional wires between the HVAC Control
Unit and the HVAC System. Consult your HVAC system wiring diagram.
BEFORE REMOVING THE OLD THEMOSTAT! Write down connections!
Be sure to write down the existing wiring connections to the old thermostat. Label the wires with the
thermostat connection. Refer to these when connecting the HVAC Control Unit to the HVAC system.

Caution: Thermostat wiring color codes are not standardized beyond simple 5 wire systems. Do
not rely on the color of the wire to determine function. Check it and write it down!
