Installation Location
To avoid having to move your wiring to a new location, mount the
thermostat in place of the old thermostat.
• Install the thermostat on an inside wall of an often-used room, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above
the oor.
• Do not install where there are unusual heating conditions, such as: in direct sunlight;near
a lamp, radio, television, radiator register, replace; near hot water pipes in the wall; or
near a stove on the other side of a wall.
• Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as: on a wall separating an unheated
room; or in a draft from a stairwell, door, or window .
• Do not locate in a damp area. This can lead to corrosion that will shorten the
thermo- stat’s life .
• Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as: a corner, an alcove, or behind an
open door.
• Ensure that the thermostat is level on the wall.
