THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
WIRING
Refer to equipment manufacturer’s instructions for specific system wiring
information. After wiring, see INSTALLER MENU for proper thermostat
configuration. Wiring table shown are for typical systems and describe the
thermostat terminal functions
Terminal Designations | Terminal Function |
---|---|
RC* | Power for Cooling |
RH* | Power for Heating |
O/B | Changeover Terminal-Energized in Heat (B) or Cool (O) for Heat Pump or |
Damper Systems
Y| Cooling Relay
G| Fan Relay
W| Heating Relay
C| Common wire for 24V (optional with batteries)
When both RC and RH wires are present, cut RC/RH jumper (see next page).
**For heat pump systems, add a jumper wire to connect terminals Y and W
Leveling Thermostat
Leveling is for appearance only and will not affect thermostat operation
Precautions
- Do not exceed the specification ratings.
- All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes and ordinances.
- This control is a precision instrument, and should be handled carefully. Rough handing or
distorting components could cause the control to malfunction
WARNING
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage. Higher voltage will damage
control and could cause shock or fire hazard.
Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary control to test. Short or
incorrect wiring will burn out thermostat and could cause personal injury
and/or property damage.
CAUTION
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage, disconnect electrical
power to system, at main fuse or circuit breaker box, until installation is
complete.
Battery Location
Premium AA alkaline batteries are required when C-wire is not available. When
C-wire is available, the batteries provide a back-up source of power (this
will maintain the clock in the event of a power outage).
-
Gas/Elec Switch
If the system is a heat pump or electric furnace, the GAS/ELEC Switch must be set to Elec. If your system is a gas or oil furnace, the switch must be set to Gas. -
O/B Terminal Switch
The O/B switch on this thermostat is factory set to the O position. This will accommodate the majority of heat pump applications, which require the changeover relay to be energized in Cool. If the heat pump being installed requires a B terminal, to energize the
changeover relay in Heat, the O/B switch must be moved to the B position. -
RC/RH Jumper Wire
This thermostat electrically connects the RC and RH terminals so a jumper wire is not required. If the application provides a separate wire for RC and RH, clip the RC/RH jumper. This will isolate both terminals so they can be independently used.
INSTALLER MENU
To prevent changes that may affect system performance, this thermostat has an
INSTALLER’S MENU and an USER MENU. The INSTALLER’S MENU provides access to
every option, while the USER MENU provides access to items that will not
affect system performance. To access the INSTALLER’S MENU press the Menu
button for 8 seconds. The display will show item 30 in the table below. Use
Next and Back to navigate through menu items. Press or to change a menu
setting.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
---|---|---|
No Heat/ No Cool/ No Fan(common problem) |
- Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker
- Furnace power switch to OFF
- Furnace blower compartment door panel loose or not properly installed
- Loose connection to thermostat or system
|
- Replace fuse or reset breaker
- Turn switch to ON
- Replace door panel in proper position to engage safety interlock or door switch
- Tighten Connections
No Heat|
- System Switch not set to Heat
- Loose connection to thermostat or system
- Heating System requires service or thermostat requires replacement
| Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached.
Diagnostic: Set System Switch to Heat and raise the setpoint above room
temperature. Within five minutes the thermostat should make a soft click sound
and “Heat On” should appear on display. This sound indicates the thermostat is
operating properly. If the thermostat does not click, try there set operation
listed below. If the thermostat does not click after being reset, contact your
heating and cooling service person or place of purchase for a replacement. If
the thermostat clicks, contact the furnace manufacturer or a service person to
verify the heating system is operating correctly.
No Cool|
- System Switch not set to Cool
- Loose connection to thermostat or system
- Cooling System requires service or thermostat requires replacement
| Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached.
Diagnostic: Set System Switch to Cool and lower setpoint below room
temperature. Same procedures as diagnostic for “No Heat” condition except set
the thermostat to Cool and lower the setpoint below the room temperature.
There may be up to a five minute delay before the thermostat clicks in Cooling
if the compressor lock-out option is selected in the installer menu. (see
INSTALLER MENU, item 50)
Heat, Cool or Fan Runs Constantly| Possible short in wiring, thermostat, heat,
cool or fan system| Check each wire connection to verify they are not shorted
or touching other wires. Try resetting the thermostat. If the condition
persists contact your HVAC service person.
Thermostat Display & Thermometer Disagree| Thermostat display requires
adjustment| Display can be adjusted +/-5°. See User Menu item04
Furnace (Air Conditioner) Cycles Too Fast or Slow (narrow or wide temperature
swing)| The location of the thermostat and/or the size of the Heating System
may be influencing the cycle rate| Digital thermostats provide precise control
and cycle faster than older mechanical models. The system turns on and off
more frequently but runs for a shorter time. If you would like to increase
cycle time, choose SLO for slow cycle in the Installer menu. (Reference menu
items 30 & 35) If an acceptable cycle rate is not achieved, contact your HVAC
service person.
