Installation is easy—even if you’ve never done it before!
Your new thermostat has been designed for fast, easy installation.
Install in three simple steps
- Label wires and remove your old thermostat (see pages 4-5).
- Install and wire your new thermostat (see pages 6-14).
- Set your new thermostat to match your heating/cooling system (see pages 15-24).
Installation tips
- Have everything you need ready to go before you begin (see page 3).
- Do not use wire color as a guide. Use wire labels instead (see page 7).
If you have installation questions, call 1-866-228-8942. TURN OFF the POWER at the heating/cooling system (or fuse/circuit-breaker panel) before you begin the installation.
Pre-installation checklist
Note: Remove the wallplate from the thermostat and see the label on the back of the thermostat for the model number
Required tools & supplies
- No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
- Small pocket screwdriver
- Drill
- Drill bit (3/16” for drywall, 7/32” for plaster)
- Hammer
- Pencil
- Electrical tape
- Level (optional)
- Two fresh AA alkaline batteries
Remove your old thermostat
- Turn off power at the heating/cooling system (or fuse/circuit-breaker panel).
- Remove the cover and thermostat, but leave the wallplate with wires attached
Label wires and remove old wallplate
Use a screwdriver to disconnect wires one by one. As you disconnect each wire, wrap it with the label matching the letter on your old thermostat. (Adhesive labels are supplied in your thermostat package.) Remove the old wallplate only after all wires are labeled. Be careful not to let loose wires fall into the wall opening
IGNORE WIRE COLORS
Use only letter designations to identify wire types.
Remove the wallplate from the new thermostat
Grasp the top and bottom of the wallplate and pull to remove it from your new thermostat.
Mark wallplate mounting position
Mount Wallplate
Connect wires: Conventional Heating and Cooling
- Match each labeled wire with the same letter on the new thermostat.
- Use a screwdriver to loosen screws, insert wires into a hole, then tighten screws.
- Push any excess wire back into the wall opening.
Labels don’t match?
If labels do not match the letters on the thermostat, see page 11.
Have a Heat Pump System?
See page 10.
Connect wires: Heat Pump
- Match each labeled wire with the same letter on the new thermostat.
- Use a screwdriver to loosen screws, insert wires into the hole, then tighten the screws.
- If E and Aux do not each have a wire connected, use a small piece of wire to connect them to each other.
- Push any excess wire back into the wall opening.
Labels don’t match?
If labels do not match the letters on a thermostat, see page 12.
Alternate wiring (conventional systems)
If labels do not match terminals, connect wires as shown here (see notes, below).
- Remove the metal jumper connecting R and Rc only if you must connect both R and Rc wires.
- If your old thermostat had both R and RH wires, remove the metal jumper. Connect the R wire to the Rc terminal, and the RH wire to the R terminal.
- If your old thermostat had only 1 C or C1 wire, connect it to the C terminal. If your old thermostat had 2 C or C1 wires, wrap each separately with electrical tape and do not connect them.
Alternate wiring (for heat pumps only)
- Leave metal jumper in place, connecting R & Rc terminals.
- If your old thermostat had both V and VR wires, stop now and contact a qualified contractor for help.
- If your old thermostat had separate O and B wires, attach the B wire to the C terminal. If another wire is attached to the C terminal, stop now and contact a qualified contractor for help.
- If your old thermostat had Y1, W1, and W2 wires, stop now and contact a qualified contractor for help.
- If the L terminal is used, the C terminal wire must be connected (contact a contractor if there is no C wire).
- If E and Aux terminals do not each have a wire connected, use a small piece of wire to connect them.
INSTALL BATTERIES
Remove the tab and mount the thermostat
TIP: If wires interfere when you try to mount the thermostat, push the excess wire back into the wall opening.
