THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION

Two ways to install a thermostat

• STEP1
  Power off your Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning(HVAC) system by using the master switch or circuit breaker box. This is important for your safety.
• STEP2
  Confirm your system is off by turning on your heat(during winter)or your AC(during summer).Wait a few minutes you should not feel air coming from your vents.
• STEP3
  Remove your old thermostat cover from the wall.

TIPS:

1. Look for your master switch or circuit breaker box in the basement, attic,utility close,or behind a wall panel near the thermostat.
2. If you have a boiler, check to see that the main flame is extinguished.
3. Many thermostats simply pop off or unclip from the base, while others may have screws that you will need to remove.

CHECKPOINT:COMPATIBILITY
Does your old thermostat’s backplate have any of these indicators?

• STEP4
  Take a picture of the wires connected to the terminals of your old thermostat. you may need to reference this photo later on.

CHECKPOINT:C WIRE
Do your have a C wire connected to you old thermostat?

TIPS:
The wiring on your old thermostat may look different, just check to see if there’s a C wire.

Install your thermostat with a C wire

If you have a C wire, it will power your thermostat. you won’t need the Electric Control Module included in the box.

TIPS:
TO install accessories(humidifier,dehumidifier or ventilator)please refer to the wiring diagrams at wiring.

• STEP5
  Carefully disconnect and label the wires from your old thermostat one at a time, using the labels provided.

TIPS:
If you have a jumper between RC, RH, OR R, leave it alone. Only label the wires that run from your wall into a terminal block.

• STEP6
  Unscrew the mounting plate of your old thermostat to remove it from the wall.

WARNING:
Be careful, as some thermostats may contain mercury.
Recycle your old thermostat safely with your local hazardous waste facility.

• STEP7
  Decide if you want to use the Base plate with your thermostat.
  The Base plates useful if you want to hide marks or holes left on the wall by your old thermostat.
  If using the Base plate,align the mounting holes on the Base plate and backplate and press them into place together.
• STEP8
  Pull the wires through the hole in the middle of the backplate and then attach the backplate to the wall using the drywall anchors and screws provided.

TIPS:
Use a 3/16” drill a hole for the drywall anchors.

CHECKPOINT: INSERT YOUR R WIRE(S)
Do your have more than one R wire?(That includes R,RC, and RH)

• STEP9
  Insert your remaining wires into the side (not the front) of their corresponding terminal blocks.
• STEP10
  Tug on the wire gently to ensure they are securely connected.

TIPS:

1. Press the terminal block levers to insert the wires more easily.
2. When a wire has been connected correctly, the level on the block will be lower.

• STEP11
  Gently press your thermostat into the backplate until it “clicks” into place.

TIPS:
If the thermostat “rocks”or is not flush with the wall,be sure the excess wires are pushed all the way into the wall.

STEP12
Turn the power to your HVAC system back on using the master switch or at the circuit breaker box.

Congratulations, you did it!
Say hi to your new thermostat! To complete your setup and registration, follow the instructions on your thermostat screen.

Install your thermostat without a C wire

If you don’t have a C wire, you will need to use the Electric Control Module included to reliable power your thermostat.

CHECKPOINT: 3 OR 4 WIRES
The Electric Control Module requires your system to have either of the following:4 wires W1,Y1,G,and R(or RC or RH)
Do you have these wires?

• STEP5
  Take your Electric Control Module, wire labels, tools, your smartphone, and go to your HVAC system.
• STEP6
  Open your HAVC system’s cover to reveal at control board.
• STEP7
  Take a picture of the wires connected to your control board.
  You may need to reference this photo later on.WARNING:
  HVAC systems contain high-voltage wires. Use caution when working with the control board. If you’d rather leave it up to a professional.
• STEP8
  Label only the R,Y,or Y1,G, and W or W1 wires with the matching labels provided.
  If you have more than one wire going into these terminals, only label those going to your thermostat.STEP9
• Disconnect the wires labeled
  R,Y, G, and W from the control board.
  * Important＊
  Attention please at this time, you need to change the wire number. As follow
• STEP10
  Connect the wires you disconnected from the control board into their matching green terminal blocks on the Electric Control Module .
• STEP11
  Tug on the wires gently to ensure they are securely connected.
  TIPS:
  1. Insert the wires more easily.
  2. When a wire has been connected correctly,tight screw to ensure the wiring.
• STEP12
  Connect the five wires coming out of your Electric Control Module to their corresponding terminals on the control board.

CHECKPOINT: Electric Control Module

• STEP13
  Mount the Electric Control Module inside your HAVC system, taking care not to strain the wires.
  Close the HVAC cover panel securely return to your thermostat.
  TIPS: Make sure your HVAC panel is fully closed.Some systems will not turn on if the cover panel has not been closed properly.
• STEP14
  Back at your thermostat:
  Carefully disconnect and label the wires from your old thermostat one at a time, using the labels provided. If you have a jumper between RC,RH,or R leave it alone. Only label the wires that run from your wall into a terminal block.
• STEP15
