READ THE  INSTALLATIONSTION INSTRUCT FIRST
Thank you for your confidence in our product. To obtain the best results from your investment, please read this manual and acquaint yourself with your purchase before installing your new thermostat. Then follow the installation procedures, one step at a time. This will save you time and minimize the chance of damaging the thermostat and the systems it controls. These instructions may contain information beyond that required for your particular installation. Please save it for future reference.

FEATURES

• The unit can be used with most 24-volt gas, oil, or electric heating and air conditioning systems, gas millivolt heating systems, and single-stage heat pumps.
• It cannot be used with 120-volt heating systems or two-stage heat pumps. Ask your dealer for other LUX thermostats to control those systems.
• A large easy-to-read display shows you the current room temperature at all times.
• The unit has a built-in digital control system to accurately control the temperature in your home.
• The unit will learn the temperature characteristics of your home on a daily basis and customize the control to give you the best comfort possible from a digital thermostat.
• You can also select a tighter temperature control if you have a forced hot water system or if closer comfort is preferred over energy savings.
• A press of either the Temperature Up or Down key will reveal the current Set Temperature.
• A 4-minute minimum off time in COOL prevents your air conditioning system from being damaged.
• Two Energizer® or DURACELL® “AA” alkaline batteries (not included) are used to retain your time and temperature programs.

CAUTION

• Your thermostat is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care.
• Turn off the electricity to the appliance before installing or servicing the thermostat or any part of the system. Do not turn the electricity back on until work is completed.
• Do not short (jumper) across electric terminals at the control on the furnace or air conditioner to test the system. This will damage the thermostat and void your warranty.
• All wiring must conform to local codes and ordinances.
• This thermostat is designed for use with 24-volt and millivolt systems. The thermostat should be limited to a maximum of 1.0 amps; higher amperage may cause damage to the thermostat. If you are in doubt, call your utility company.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Please read all instructions carefully before beginning installation.

TOOLS REQUIRED
#1 Phillips screwdriver (small) Drill with 3/16-in. (4.8mm) bit

THERMOSTAT LOCATION
On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in place of the old one unless the conditions listed below suggest otherwise. On new installations, follow the guidelines listed below.

1. Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor, and in a room that is used often.
2. Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as: in direct sunlight; near a lamp, radio, television, radiator, register, or fireplace; near hot water pipes in a wall; near a stove on the other side of a wall.
3. Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as: on a wall separating an unheated room; or in a draft from a stairwell, door, or window.
4. Do not locate in a damp area. This can lead to corrosion that will shorten thermostat life.
5. Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as: in a corner or an alcove; or behind an open door.
6. Do not install the unit until all construction work and painting have been completed.
7. This thermostat does not require leveling.

REMOVING THE OLD THERMOSTAT

1. Remove the cover from old thermostat. Most are snap-on types and simply pull off. Some have locking screws on the side. These must be loosened. Switch the electricity to the furnace and air conditioner OFF; then proceed with the following steps.
2. Note the letters printed near the terminals. Attach labels (enclosed) to each wire for identification. Remove and label wires one at a time. Make sure the wires do not fall back inside the wall.
3. Loosen all screws on the old thermostat and remove it from the wall.

CAUTION
Read the instructions carefully before removing any wiring from the existing thermostat. Wires must be labeled before they are removed. When removing wires from their terminals, ignore the color of the wires since these may not comply with the standard.

MOUNTING THE UNIT ON THE WALL

1. Press down on the button on top of the thermostat and swing the body away from the base and down to remove the body from the base.
2. Strip insulation 3/8 in. (9.5mm) from wire ends and clean off any corrosion.
3. Fill the wall opening with non-combustible insulation to prevent drafts from affecting

NOTE
If you are mounting the base to a soft material like plasterboard or if you are using the old mounting holes, the screws may not hold. Drill a 3/16-in. (4.8mm) hole at each screw location, and insert the plastic anchors provided. Then mount the base as described below.

ATTACHING WIRES
Hold the base against the wall, with the wires coming through wherever it is convenient for wiring. Route the wires below the terminal block. Position the base for the best appearance (to hide any marks from an old thermostat). Attach the base to the wall with the two screws provided.

Caution
Do not allow wires to touch each other or parts on the thermostat. Wires must be trapped between the black spacer and the brass terminal. Also, be sure to tighten securely all 7 electrical terminal screws.

The FAN switch works only if your system provides a wire for the UNIT’S “G” terminal.

ADVANCED FEATURES

TEMPERATURE SWING
A thermostat works by turning your heating or cooling system on and off whenever the room temperature varies a certain number of degrees from the set-point temperature. This variation is the “swing.” Your thermostat is carefully tuned to provide you with exceptional comfort as well as provide you with energy savings. Should you desire to have the temperature controlled even more tightly in your home at the expense of increased energy savings, you can change the swing value. Also, users of forced hot water systems may find this setting more comfortable.
Located on the back of the thermostat body are three jumpers. To change from 0.5 degrees F control to 0.25 degree F control, remove the jumper indicated by 0.5 F / 0.25 F. Press the small unmarked button on the front of the thermostat with a paper clip for the change to take effect. The unit will now control your home to 0.5 degrees.

MIN/2 MIN MINIMUM RUN TIME
Your thermostat has an internal timer built in to protect your compressor. The timer forces a minimum on-time of 5 minutes. You may change this minimum on-time to 2 minutes. To
To accomplish this, place the jumper labeled W3 over both pins. You must press the small unmarked button on the face of the thermostat for the changes to take effect. Elec/Gas

CHANGING FROM °F TO °C

• To change to Celsius – place the jumper labeled W2 over both pins.
• Press the small unmarked button on the front of the thermostat for the changes to take effect.
