Product Usage Instructions

Installation:

1. Power off your system and remove the old thermostat. Note: Do
   not remove the wall plate.

2. Take a picture of your old thermostat wires for reference.

3. Label the wires with tags.

4. Please confirm if your old thermostat has a C wiring (Blue
   line).

5. If you have Plan A (compatible wiring):

6. Remove the wall plate by unscrewing it from the wall and gently
   pulling it out.

7. Connect the mounting plate and wire the cables through the
   holes in the temperature controller mounting plate.

8. Connect the wires to the base. Connect the R or RC wire into
   the RC terminal, and connect other wires to their corresponding
   terminals.

9. Attach the thermostat on the base.

10. If you have connected both the RC-wire and the RH-wire to the
    wall plate, adjust the DIP switch on the back of the thermostat
    accordingly.

11. Power on your system to complete configuration.

12. If you have Plan B (power module installation):

13. Find and open the HVAC system’s cover.

14. Take a picture of the wires connected to the terminals of your
    old thermostat for reference.

15. If your system has the required wires (WC, G, Y, R), install
    the power module.

16. If your system does not have these wires, it may not be
    compatible with the power module.

17. Label the wires from the control board to the old
    thermostat.

18. Disconnect the wires of W/W1, Y/Y1, and R from the control
    board to the thermostat.

Plan B:
What is Power Module? Power module requires your system to have the following wires:

WC G Y R

4 wires: W/W1, Y/Y1, G, and R (or Rc or Rh) or 3 wires: Y/Y1, G, and R (or Rc or Rh)

Install the Power Module
1. Find the HVAC terminals Find and open the HVAC system’s cover. take a picture of the wires connected to the terminals of your old thermostat, you may need to reference this photo later

If you do not have these wires, your system may not be compatible with the power module.

To HVAC control board

The C-wire is used to provide Power module power to the thermostat. If your system does not have the “C” wire, can use the power module to power your thermostat using the existing wires. There are 2 sides with connections, 4 terminals is for thermostat, 5 terminals is for the control board connections.
