If replacing an old thermostat, the new thermostat will be mounted in place of the old. If a new location is desired it will be necessary to move your wiring. New installations and relocation should follow the guidelines below to ensure the most accurate temperature reading and ease of use.
Test your system
Verify that your heating and/or cooling system is operating properly before you try to install your new thermostat. DO NOT do so by shorting (jumper) across electric terminals at the furnace or air conditioner. This may damage the thermostat. DO NOT REMOVE your existing thermostat until power has been turned off at the circuit breaker.
Once the power to the heating AND cooling systems is off follow these steps:
What wires does your system use?
Make sure your wires are labeled correctly. It may be necessary to find the ‘other end’ connection for each wire on your heating or air conditioning equipment and read the label there.
IMPORTANT: This thermostat runs on batteries and the C wire. If you do not have a C wire you can run a new wire from the HVAC or use a standard 24VAC wall transformer
Prepare the wires
Please follow these guidelines for safe and secure wire connections:
Install the back plate
Use the bubble level provided on the back plate as a guide. Mark where the screws will go with a pencil through the screw holes on the back plate.
TIPS:
Wire your new thermostat
Go to page 8 to find the wiring diagram that matches your wiring and insert the wires into the back plate.
TIP: Anything that wasn’t connected to your old thermostat shouldn’t be connected to your new thermostat either. You may also have extra wires that do not match. Leave them as is.
EXCEPTIONS:
The thermostat can be powered by a battery or 24 VAC. If a wall transformer is used to power your thermostat connect between C and RH. Ensure the batteries are installed following the specified polarity markings on the thermostat.
CAUTION: Special Battery Warning
Connect the Thermostat to the Gateway
Install Thermostat body to the back plate
Press the thermostat body firmly into the back plate mounted to the wall. Ensure that the pins on the body are correctly aligned with the header attached to the terminal board on the back plate. Failure to do so could cause damage to the thermostat.
Turn the power on
Restore power to your heating and cooling system. This can be done at the circuit breaker.
Your thermostat configuration will be done online at the customer site on your customer account page. Here you will configure the parameters of your system, such as Heat Pump or Normal, number of heat and cool stages, heating fuel, calibration temperature, and configurable terminal (Z). Refer to your configuration number on the wiring diagrams page to see the values you should enter on the online configuration.
This is also were you have the option to change advanced configuration settings, such as: Swing, Differential, Recovery Setting, Fan Circulation Period and Duty Cycle, Maximum Setpoints, Minimum Setpoints, Thermostat Lock, Demand Response Delay, Demand Response Duty Cycle, and Modes Enabled.
WARNING: Use caution when changing advanced configuration settings. These configuration settings should only be changed by those familiar with heating and cooling systems parameters. Contact your local HVAC professional for help.
For definitions of these settings and more information go to www.building36.com
By default, the thermostat is configured to 2 heat stages and 2 cool stages (2 Heat pumps, 2 Aux).

Batteries die quickly
If a thermostat is paired using a C-Wire, that information is saved in the network and cannot be changed unless removed and paired again without a C-Wire connection. The same applies to inclusions on battery power. If you find your thermostat batteries are dying unusually quickly, check and make sure the C-Wire connection is still intact. If a device is paired using C-Wire the Z-Wave communication never sleeps and the thermostat will act as a repeater, sending messages to other devices as well. If the C-Wire is removed this kind of activity will drain the battery very quickly.
Heating or cooling doesn’t turn on when the target is set above or below the ambient
The thermostat is configured to have a minimum set of a half-degree difference in temperature from the target before the system turns on to protect the system from damage due to excessive use. The cooling system also has a built-in compressor delay. Each time compressor is turned on, a large amount of pressure is built up and must be equalized. This delay time prevents damage to the compressor from not allowing this pressure to equalize before being turned on again.
Manual configuration of the HVAC system on the thermostat
The system type (Normal or Heat Pump) can be physically set on the thermostat if necessary by doing the following:
Exclusion of thermostat from Z-Wave network
If for some reason the thermostat must be removed from the network, follow the steps below to do so.
A heat pump is cooling when it should be heating
Because both types of heat pump reversing valves share a single terminal on your thermostat back plate, you need to be sure you have the thermostat configured for the correct wire. Try switching your O/B selection on the customer thermostat configuration page. Contact your local HVAC professional for further with this issue. The same applies to a heat pump that is heating when it should be cooling.
FCC NOTICE:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
NOTE: THE GRANTEE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE. SUCH MODIFICATIONS COULD VOID THE USER’S AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.
