WARNING!
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Can cause injury or death: Turn off power at the main service panel by removing the fuse or switching the appropriate circuit breaker to the OFF position before installing the thermostat receiver. - Remove the cover of the old thermostat. This should expose the wires.
- Remove wires from wire terminals.
- Remove the existing thermostat base from the wall.
- Cut or stuff wires into the hole in the wall and seal the hole with nonflammable insulation or putty, or use a wall plate obtainable from a local hardware or home building store.
INSTALL THERMOSTAT (when mounting to a wall)
IMPORTANT: Thermostat installation must conform to local and national building and electrical codes and ordinances.
Note: Mount the thermostat about five feet above the floor. Do not mount the thermostat on an outside wall, in direct sunlight, behind a door or in an area affected by a vent or duct.
MOUNT THE THERMOSTAT
- Turn off power to the heating and cooling system.
WARNING!
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Can cause injury or death: Turn off power at the main service panel by removing the fuse or switching the appropriate circuit breaker to the OFF position before installing the thermostat receiver. - Remove the thermostat cover by pressing the two push tabs on the bottom of the thermostat housing while pulling the front of the thermostat away from the base.
- Put the thermostat base against the wall where you plan to mount it.
- Mark the placement of the mounting holes on the wall.
- Set the thermostat base and cover away from the working area.
- Using a 3/16″ drill bit, drill holes in the locations you have marked for mounting.
- Use a hammer to tap supplied plastic wall anchors in mounting holes.
- Align the thermostat base with mounting holes and use supplied screws to mount the thermostat base to the wall.
- Insert four “AA” batteries into the battery holder. Verify that they are oriented as shown on the battery holder.
WARNING!
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Can cause injury or death: Turn off power at the main service panel by removing the fuse or switching the appropriate circuit breaker to the OFF position before installing the thermostat receiver.
- Remove the room cabinet by pulling it out at the bottom to release it (1); then lift it up to clear the rail along the unit top (2).
NOTICE: Make sure you are properly grounded. Electrostatic discharge (ESD)/static electricity can harm the board.
- Move the #4 (CLASS 2) dip switch up to enable the unit to operate with a Class 2 Remote Thermostat.
- Remove the screw and access cover to the auxiliary controls.
- Connect the thermostat cable to R, GL, GH, B, Y, W, and C unit terminals by inserting the wire tips into the bottom of the block and tightening the screws.
- Route the thermostat cable from the unit to the R, GL, GH, B, Y, W, and C terminals on the receiver. Ensure that the same color wire is connected to the matching terminal on both ends. Connect by inserting the wire tips into the bottom of the block and tightening the screws.
NOTE: Leave plenty of thermostat cable length to allow routing to and installation of the receiver onto the unit. - Turn on power at the main service panel by replacing
the fuse or switching the appropriate circuit breaker to the ON position. - Link the Thermostat to the receiver. See the “Link the Receiver section.
IMPORTANT: This step must be performed correctly. Check the thermostat to make sure it is accurately trans-ponding to the receiver. If the links were not set correctly, reset them. See the “Reset the Thermostat section in the Ownerâs Manual. - Put the cover back on the thermostat and secure it with its cover screw.
- Clean the mounting location. Install the four mounting post feet into each corner hole on the underside of the receiver. Peel off the adhesive backing from each foot. Locate and press the receiver onto the unit, in the correct location, for either Model with a Junction Box or Models without a Junction Box. See the below illustration to determine the correct location for your model type.(If accidentally placed in the wrong location or if the receiver needs to be moved, carefully pry each foot from the unit, apply new two-sided tape to the feet and relocate to the new location.)REMOVE THE PLASTIC BAG/INSTRUCTIONS AND PLACE IT IN A SECURE AND DRY LOCATION ON THE UNIT (OR AN OBVIOUS LOCATION) FOR FUTURE USE OR FOR THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS.
NOTE: If replacement mounting feet are needed, they may be ordered at www.mouser.com. Order part no. 561-LAD187.Replace the control access cover with the screw removed earlier. - Reinstall the room cabinet by hooking the top over the rail along the unit top, then pushing it in at the bottom.

LINK THE RECEIVER
The thermostat and receiver will not operate as a system until they are linked together through the installation process. The linking process connects one or more receivers to a thermostat so that they will communicate with each other as a control system. Up to eight (8) receivers can be linked to a single thermostat. Until linked, a control receiver will not operate. Once linked, a control receiver will only respond to its specific thermostat.
LINK THE THERMOSTAT TO THE RECEIVER
A thermostat and receiver that have been linked will not interfere with or be affected by any other thermostat or receiver in adjacent rooms, apartments or neighboring homes. Linking information is stored in memory—it is not necessary to relink a thermostat and receiver if the thermostat batteries are removed or after a power outage. If multiple installation teams are installing and linking thermostats at the same time, coordinate the activity to avoid the possibility of installers simultaneously attempting to perform the linking process. Because this is an RF system, installers in nearby rooms/areas where it is possible RF overlap could exist run the risk of interfering with each other. Installation and linking activity going on around a system already installed will not interfere with it.
LINK THE RECEIVER (cont.)
- Press the SW4-INSTALL button inside the thermostat. Press the HEAT/COOL button on the front of the thermostat to select your choice. Press the UP button to set the receiver number (0-7) and press the HEAT/COOL button to set the receiver.
- PB1–NETWORK
