WHAT’S IN THE BOX AND REQUIRED TOOLS

WARNING

Before you get started, take a few minutes to read this guide and watch the Allia thermostat’s step-by-step installation video to ensure a safe and easy installation.
VIDEO: stelpro.com/en/allia

Before installing or using the thermostat, the homeowner and installer must read and understand these instructions and keep them for future reference. The manufacturer will assume no responsibility and the warranty will be void if the installer or user does not follow them. Failure to follow these guidelines could result in property damage, injury, burns, and potentially fatal electric shock. Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in accordance with the electrical and building codes in effect in your area.

1. Connect the thermostat ONLY to a 120 VAC to 240 VAC power source and respect the load limits.
2. Protect the heating system with appropriate circuit breakers or fuses.
3. Clean the thermostat regularly to remove accumulated dirt. DO NOT use liquid to clean the ventilation openings of the thermostat.
4. DO NOT install the thermostat in a place where it could get wet or on an exterior wall. However, you can install it on insulated interior walls. To avoid any risk of overheating, leave a clearance of  at least 12 in. around the thermostat so that it is adequately ventilated.
5. Also, make sure not to obstruct the ventilation grilles at the bottom and top of the thermostat housing. Clogged grilles can cause the thermostat to overheat and interfere with its operation.

WARNING: High voltage. Switch off the power before installation and maintenance.
NOTE: Stelpro reserves the right to modify its product without notice to improve its operation. Therefore, the instructions in this guide may not apply exactly to your thermostat model. Refer to the Stelpro website for the most recent documentation. Your product, including its LCD screen, name and packaging, may also be different from the one presented in this manual.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

WHERE TO SET UP YOUR HUB

With a minimum amount of planning, you can optimize the Allia mesh network and ensure good communication between devices. The hub allows you to manage the Allia thermostats and other Allia-compatible connected objects in your home. Install the hub in the most central location possible to boost communication between the various rooms. The more Alliacompatible connected objects you have in your home, the more they will act as Zigbee signal repeaters to allow good communication between thermostats and connected objects.

WHERE TO INSTALL YOUR THERMOSTATS

1. Install an Allia thermostat in every room where you want to control the temperature.

2. Install the thermostat about 5 ft above the floor, on an inside wall facing the heating system. The thermostat must be placed on an electrical box.

3. The space in front of the thermostat must be completely clear for it to operate optimally.
   Do not install the thermostat behind a piece of furniture or a curtain, for instance.
   WARNING: To avoid overheating, leave at least 12 in. clearance around the thermostat to ensure adequate ventilation.

4. To avoid inaccurate temperature readings, do not install the thermostat:
   | near a window or door that leads outdoors.
   | in a place exposed to direct light or heat from the sun, a lamp, a fireplace or any other heat source.
   | near an air vent.
   | near pipes, concealed ducts or a chimney.
   | in a place with poor air circulation, such as behind a door.
   | in an area with a high dust concentration.
   | in a place where there are frequent drafts, such as the top of a staircase.

INSTALLATION

TURNING THE POWER OFF

To protect yourself against electric shock, switch off the power to the wires at the electrical panel. Then, make sure the wires are no longer powered, e.g., checking that the heating system remains off even when the setpoint temperature is higher than the room temperature (mechanical thermostat).

ATTACHING THE MOUNTING PLATE

1. Loosen the screw at the base of the Allia thermostat, without completely removing it, until the thermostat and the mounting plate are no longer attached. Slide the mounting plate down and away from the thermostat.
2. Using the mounting screws provided (2), attach the Allia thermostat mounting plate to the electrical box.
3. Pass the power supply wires through the large opening in the center of the mounting plate.

NOTE: You can place the mounting plate to the left, center or right of the electrical box according to your needs (see image). Make sure that the mounting plate is straight so that the thermostat is also straight.

CONNECTING THE ELECTRICAL WIRES

1. Using the supplied connection caps,* connect the Allia thermostat wires to those of the heating system and power supply wires according to the corresponding connection diagram.
2. Tighten the caps on the wires to make sure the connection is secure.
3. Then, place all the wires in the electrical box.

WARNING: Improperly connected electrical wires are a fire hazard.
*If the power supply wires are made of aluminum, use CO/ALR connection caps instead (not supplied).

ATTACHING THE THERMOSTAT TO THE MOUNTING PLATE

1. Make sure that the thermostat’s ventilation openings are clean and unobstructed.
2. Align the notch at the top of the thermostat with the notch on the mounting plate.
3. Then, place the thermostat on the mounting plate, taking care not to pinch the wires between the device and the mounting plate.
