INSTALLATION
THERMOSTAT LOCATION
Thermostat should be mounted:

• Approximately 5 ft. (1.5m) above floor.
• Close to or in a frequently used room, preferably on an inside partitioning wall.
• On a section of wall without pipes or duct work.

Thermostat should NOT be mounted:

• Close to a window, on an outside wall, or next to a door leading to the outside.
• Exposed to direct light and heat from a lamp, sun, fireplace, or other temperature-radiating object which may cause a false reading.
• Close to or in direct airflow from supply registers.
• In areas with poor air circulation, such as behind a door or in an alcove.

THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION

1. Turn off all power to unit.

2. If an existing thermostat is being replaced:
   A. Remove existing thermostat from wall.
   B. Disconnect wires from existing thermostat, one at a time. Be careful not to allow wires to fall back into the wall.
   C. As each wire is disconnected, record wire color and terminal marking.
   D. Discard or recycle old thermostat.
   NOTE: Mercury is a hazardous waste and MUST be disposed of properly.

3. Separate the thermostat from base.

4. Route thermostat wires through hole in base. Level base against wall (for aesthetic value only – thermostat need not be leveled for proper operation) and mark wall through 2 mounting holes.

5. Drill two 3/16-in. mounting holes in wall where marked. (Note: Mounting holes on thermostat are designed to fi t on a horizontal J-box).

6. Secure base to wall with 2 anchors and screws provided making sure all wires extend through hole in base.

7. Connect wires to proper terminal of the connector block in the thermostat.

8. Push any excess wire back into wall. Excess wire inside the thermostat case can interfere with proper air fl ow across the temperature sensor. Seal hole in wall to prevent air leaks. Leaks can affect operation.

9. Install thermostat on base.

10. Turn on power to the unit.

Temperature Algorithm

7.1 TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Configure the logic the thermostat uses to meet the temperature setpoints.

• Proportional Integral (default) – This logic will use a combination of temperature differential and operating time to determine the appropriate heating or cooling stages for operation (see NOTE 1).
• Proportional Integral (No Down Staging) – This logic includes the Proportional Integral logic, but in addition the logic keeps all active heating or cooling stages energized until the demand is fully satisfied (see NOTE 1).
• Differential – This logic will only use temperature differential to determine the appropriate heating or cooling stages for operation. This logic will keep all active heating or cooling stages energized until the demand is fully satisfied (see NOTE 2).

NOTE 1: The Proportional Integral options require fist stage heating or cooling to be active for a minimum of 5 minutes, before energizing second stage when configured for multi stage operation.
NOTE 2: The Differential option will activate first stage heating or cooling when the temperature is more than the first stage differential value (User Manual section 5.6.2.3), below or above the setpoint. Second stage heating or cooling will be activated when the temperature is more than the first and second stage differential values combined (User Manual section 5.6.2.3), below or above the setpoint. Third stage heating will be activated when the temperature is more than the first, second, and third stage differential values combined (User Manual section 5.6.2.3), below the setpoint.
7.2 ANTICIPATOR
If you fi nd that the thermostat is overshooting or undershooting the temperature setpoint value, the Anticipator setting allows for adjustment to correct the temperature algorithm. When the Anticipator value is set to a lower number, the thermostat becomes more sensitive and when the Anticipator value is raised, the thermostat becomes less sensitive. If the thermostat is overshooting the temperature setpoint, adjust the Anticipator value up to reduce thermostat sensitivity. If the thermostat is undershooting the temperature setpoint, adjust the Anticipator value down to increase thermostat sensitivity.
Adjust the Anticipator setting using the up/down arrow buttons. Press the center button to save changes.

• Anticipator (default 3): valid range: 1 to 9

7.3 DIFFERENTIAL
The Differential adjustment will vary the number of degrees from the setpoint before a call for heating or cooling is made.
Use this function if you fi nd that the thermostat is starting a call too soon/late or staging equipment up/down too quickly/ slowly. For example, with a 1 ˚F 1st stage differential and a heating setpoint of 70˚F, your thermostat will not call for heating until the temperature is 69˚F.
Adjust the Differential setting using the up/down arrow buttons. Navigate between Differentials using the left/right arrow buttons. Press the center button to save changes.
7.4 CYCLES PER HOUR
The thermostat allows the user to adjust the maximum number of on/off cycles per hour to maintain the desired indoor temperature.
