Installation
Replacing Existing Thermostat
- The cover, which may snap or hinge over the existing thermostat.
- The electronics or body, which controls the existing system.
- The sub-base, where the wires attach through the wall to the existing system.
- Always turn off power to the air conditioning and heating system prior to removing existing thermostat.
- Carefully remove the cover and electronics body from the old thermostat sub-base. Depending on the brand, these parts may pull off or need to be unscrewed. The old sub-base should remain wired and on the wall until steps 4 and 5.
- Label every old wire with the letter of the connection to which the wire is attached. Example letters are R, M, Y, etc. Depending on the brand of the old thermostat, your letters may be different.

Secure the wires to prevent them from slipping into the opening in the wall.
- Remove the old sub-base from the wall, again being careful that the wires do not slip into the opening in the wall.
- Use the chart on page 1 to determine the new thermostat connections. As an example, if the old thermostat had a G or F connection, it goes to G on the new thermostat. It may be helpful to use the chart by circling (with a pencil or pen) the letter of each wire removed from the old thermostat.
NOTE: This thermostat is designed for use on low voltage 24-volt AC single-stage or multi-stage systems, including heat pumps with up to three stages of heating and two stages of cooling. Do not use this thermostat on systems with voltage higher than 30 Volts AC. This thermostat requires a transformer common wire for proper installation if used as a hardwired thermostat.
Installing New Thermostat
NOTE: When installing this thermostat in a new location, following a few simple guidelines and the applicable building codes will give the best results. Install the thermostat in a location that provides good airflow by avoiding areas behind doors, near corners, air vents, direct sunlight or heat-generating devices. The wiring must conform to all building codes and ordinances as required by local and national code authorities having jurisdiction for this installation.
- Always turn off the power to the air conditioning and heating system prior to installing this thermostat.
- Locate the release latch on the bottom (not the back) of the thermostat. Press the release latch in and separate the body from the sub-base of the thermostat. Because this thermostat has 14 possible connection points, you may need to apply moderate force to separate the parts.
- Set the thermostat electronics and cover down on a clean surface. Place the sub-base on the wall in the desired location.
- Using the slotted mounting holes in the sub-base, mark the placement of the mounting holes through the slots and onto the wall. Ensure the wires come out of the wall into the center hole of the sub-base.
- After verifying the drill will not damage items in the wall, use a 3/16 drill to create the mounting holes. Gently tap the supplied plastic anchors into the holes in the wall.
- Place the thermostat sub-base against the wall in the desired location. Ensure the thermostat is level, the wires are inserted in the opening, and the mounting holes are aligned with the slots on the sub-base.
- Fasten sub-base to wall using supplied screws into the plastic wall anchors.
- Connect wires to the quick wiring terminal blocks. Use the wiring diagram chart to ensure the old and new connections are correct.
- To prevent electrical shorts and potential damage to the thermostat, make sure all wire connections are secure and not touching each other.
- Locate the thermostat body, and ensure the cover is still installed properly. Using the mounting tabs on the top of the sub-base as a guide or hinge, close up the thermostat case by pivoting the body and cover closed. The latch on the bottom of the thermostat will click when the case is properly closed. Because this thermostat has 14 possible connection points, you may need to apply moderate force to close the case.
- Flip the front thermostat cover up and open the battery compartment door.
- Locate the positive [+] ends of the batteries and match them with the positive [+] terminals located in the battery compartment. Install the two new “AA” alkaline batteries (supplied). Close battery compartment door.
- Restore system power and proceed to programming and system checkout.

Setting Thermostat Installer Options
The Installer Options section allows the system and programming parameters to be set up at installation. The Installer Options mode is menu driven. As the different options are programmed you may eliminate specific options. For example, if the system is set to a single-stage heat pump, Option 8, selecting the AUX stage fan control will no longer be available.
The Installer Option mode is entered by holding the RETURN and buttons together for 3 seconds. Installer Option 1 (Residential or Commercial) will be displayed. Pressing the or buttons will scroll between choices. To scroll to the next installer option, press the RETURN button. To scroll backward between installer options, press the PROG button. The thermostat will return to normal operating mode by pressing the RETURN and PROG buttons at the same time.
NOTE: The thermostat will return to normal operating mode automatically after 30 seconds if no buttons are pressed.
NOTE: Any changes to Installer Option 6 (System Type) will cause Options 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 to reset to the default values that are dependent on system selection.
NOTE: Any changes to Installer Options 1 through 6 will cause all User Options and Programming to reset to their default values if the User Options were previously programmed. See User Manual, Section 2.
- Selects a Residential or Commercial (BUS) profile. Determines programming events per day. If Residential is selected, 4 events per day are available. If Commercial is selected, 2 events per day are available. Only the 7 day programmable mode is available for the Commercial profile.
- Selects the programming mode, either full 7 days or 5-2 day (weekday weekend) programming or non-programmable. If the Commercial profile was selected in step 1 this option is not available.
- Selects either a 12-hour or 24-hour clock.
- Selects a preferred temperature scale of either ºF or ºC.
- Selects Auto Changeover on or off. When off is selected, the AUTO icon will not be displayed when selecting the system options with the system button. When Auto Changeover mode is enabled and selected, the system automatically switches between heating and cooling when the room temperature meets the programmed heating or cooling set points.
- Selects single-stage conventional (11C), 2-stage conventional (22C), single-stage heat pump (11HP), 2-stage heat pump (22HP), or 3-stage heat pump (32HP). Any change made to the system type resets Installer Options 7 through 11 to their default values depending on the system selected.
- Selects between 1st stage gas or electric heat Fan Control. This Installer Option is not available with a heat pump system.
- Selects aux-stage gas or electric heat Fan Control. This Installer Option is only available with a 2 or 3-stage heat pump system.
- For heat pump units with an electric auxiliary stage, both the first and second stages of heating will run when a call for second-stage heat is made. For heat pump units with a fossil fuel auxiliary stage, the compressor stage(s) will be locked out one minute after a second stage heat call, and the second stage will only be used.
NOTE: Can be overridden by auxiliary balance point. See item 20 on page 10 for details. - Select between turning the AC power interrupt warning off or on. During a power loss when batteries are installed, the thermostat will display an outage warning. The system clock will continue to run, and all settings will be maintained until the outage period is over. This Installer Option is only available when the thermostat is installed as a hardwired unit.
- This thermostat provides cold weather compressor protection by locking out the compressor stage (1st stage) of heating for a period of time after a power outage greater than 60 minutes. The lockout period is one hour less than the outage time, up to a maximum of 12 hours. During that period of time, the auxiliary heat stage will still be available to maintain the set point temperature. The compressor lockout can be disabled by setting this option to OFF
- This thermostat includes an automatic compressor protection feature to avoid potential damage to the cooling system from short cycling. This thermostat automatically provides an adjustable delay after turning off the cooling system output to protect the compressor. This protection is also present in the heat mode of operation on single-stage heat pump systems to protect the compressor.
- During the COOL mode of normal operation, the fan will stay on for 60 seconds after the cooling system has satisfied the set point temperature and has turned off the compressor. This allows the system to provide higher efficiency during cooling operations.The delay is selectable between 0, 30, 60 or 90 seconds.
- The Recirculating Fan can be “locked on”, so that the only fan selections available to the user are CIRC and ON. The Recirculating Fan Mode provides more even temperature distribution and improves indoor air quality by circulating air through the furnace filtration system more often. By locking the Recirculating Fan on, the user will only have the option to run the fan all the time (ON) or use the Recirculating Fan Feature (CIRC). If the Recirculating Fan lock is set to off, the thermostat is put into the Recirculating Fan Mode by pressing the FAN button until the CIRC icon is displayed. If no call for heating or cooling occurs within the fan off cycle set in the User Options (see User Manual), the fan will run for 12 minutes. When the fan lock is set to on, the highest setting, 120 minutes, will run the fan least often – 9% minimum running time. The lowest setting, 24 minutes (factory default), will run the fan most often – 33% minimum running time. The Recirculating Fan feature is available in the COOL, OFF, HEAT, or EMER modes.
Fan Cycle Setting Fan Off Time (minutes) Fan Run Time (minutes) 24 24 12 40 40 12 60 60 12 120 120 12 - Enables or disables the ARM™ feature. During ARM™, room temperature is recovered gradually by turning on the heating or cooling before the end of the setback period. In a multi-stage configuration, room temperature is recovered gradually by using only the first stage heating or cooling until the last 20 minutes, to minimize the use of the 2nd stage heating or cooling. The set point temperature is changed to that of the upcoming comfort program temperature. The start time of recovery is based on the difference between the current room temperature and the upcoming comfort program set point temperature. ARM™ does not operate when the unit is in the temporary or permanent HOLD mode or if the program is temporarily overridden or if emergency heat is selected for multi-stage heat pumps. If the ARM™ feature is disabled the thermostat will recover the set point temperature at the programmed set point time after the setback period ends.
- If a Braeburn® indoor or outdoor remote sensor is connected during installation, the thermostat will automatically detect the type of sensor. When an indoor sensor is detected, you may select between internal (sensI), external (sensE), or averaging (sensA) for temperature control. When an outdoor sensor is automatically detected, the thermostat will remove the choices for indoor sensing from the menu and enable outdoor measurement. The outdoor sensor may be used to determine if balance points have been exceeded, and outdoor temperature display. For proper auto-detection, you must use a Braeburn brand external sensor. Should the external sensor become unwired, the thermostat will retain the settings, but the balance points, and outdoor temperature display will be disabled until the external sensor is repaired. Test the operation of the external sensor by pressing the PROG and HOLD buttons at the same time.
Option Setting Temperature Control Balance Points and Outdoor Display sens I (Internal Thermostat Sensor) At Thermostat N/A sens E (External Remote Indoor Sensor) At Remote Sensor N/A sens A (Internal and Remote) Average between Internal and Remote N/A - The keypad lockout feature has two levels of security. Level one locks all buttons (including the reset) except for the , and backlight buttons. Level 2 locks the entire keypad except the backlight button. The and buttons can be pressed together to enter the lock code but the buttons do not work individually to adjust the temperature. The lock level is set during the Installer Options and the lock code is set in the User Options. See the User Manual, Section 2.
- When Auto Changeover mode is enabled and selected, the system automatically switches between heating and cooling when the room temperature meets the normal criteria for either a heating or cooling call. There is a forced separation (dead band) between the heating and cooling set points, so the systems do not work against each other. This option selects Auto Changeover Dead Band of 2º, 3º, 4º or 5º F. The default is 3º F.
- Only available with multi-stage heat pump and outdoor sensor connected. Locks out the use of the compressor heat stage for outside air temperatures less than installer setting. Select from no lockout or a setting between 10º F to 50º F (-9º C to 10º C).
- Only available with multi-stage heat pump and outdoor sensor connected. Locks out the use of the auxiliary heat stage for outside air temperatures over installer setting. Select from no lockout or a setting between 70º F to 40º F (21º C to 4º C). NOTE: This balance point overrides the fossil fuel compressor lockout. If the lockout is set to AG and the outdoor temperature is over the AUX balance point, the compressor will remain on during a second stage call. The unit will recover to the set point without the AUX stage.
- Selects Outside Air Intake Options. Scroll between none (disabled), economizer mode and time of day mode. Enables the operation of an outside air damper system in either the economizer mode or time of day mode. Available only in commercial (BUS) mode.
