6.  Do one of the following: 
•  If the cable is terminated: Inspect the RJ-11 
connector for damage. 
•  If the cable is non-terminated or if the RJ-11 
was damaged: Cut the cable, leaving about 
three inches (75 mm) on the room unit side 
of the drywall, and attach an RJ-11 
connector with an RJ-11 crimping tool. On 
the RJ-11 connectors, ensure that pin 
Number 1 connects to the same wire at 
each end of the cable. See Figure 3.  
 
For retrofits: Before cutting the cable, 
make sure it is disconnected from the 
Temperature Room Unit port on the TEC 
 
Figure 3.  Terminating the RJ-11 Connector. 
7.  Plug the terminated cable into the RJ-11 
connector on the back of the room unit's printed 
circuit board (PCB). 
8.  Feed the extra cable back through the hole. 
9.  Snap the room unit cover to the room unit base 
plate by first hooking the room unit front to the 
top latches, and then rotating the cover 
downward until it latches. 
10. Loosen the safety set screw at the bottom of the 
base one or two revolutions to lock the cover to 
the base. Be careful not to loosen too far as the 
screw can be completely removed from the 
base. 
11. Connect the room unit to the Temperature Room 
Unit port on the TEC or ATEC. 
The installation is now complete.
Electrical Box and Rough-in 
Mounting, Typical 
1.  If a locator is attached to the rough-in device, 
remove the locator by removing the two screws 
and lightly rocking the locator to pull it free. 
2.  Untie the twist tie and pull about three inches 
(75 mm) of the room unit cable through the hole 
in the base plate. 
3.  Mount the room unit base plate on the wall, 
noting the "UP" arrow: 
NOTE: If required, position the Back Plate 
behind the Room Unit Base, aligning the 
top and bottom mounting holes, prior to 
mounting to the wall: 
a.  Install the two room unit mounting screws 
provided, but do not tighten. 
b.  Level the room unit base plate for 
appearance only. 
c.  Tighten the two mounting screws to the 
room unit base plate. 
 
Over-tightening may cause the room unit 
base plate to crack or bend. 
4.  Continue with Drywall Mounting (No Rough-in), 
Typical, Steps 7 through 11. 
The installation is now complete. 
Set-up of Displayed Temperature 
Units 
displayed temperature 
units is °F. To change 
the display to °C mode, 
snip the wire jumper on 
the back of the PCB (the 
visible side when the unit 
is taken off the wall).
