INSTALLATION & OPERATION

THERMOSTAT LOCATION
For accurate temperature control and comfort, the correct location is very important. On new installations, the guidelines listed below should be followed as closely as possible. When replacing an old thermostat, install the new one in the same location unless these conditions suggest otherwise.

  1. Locate the thermostat on an inside wall about five feet above the floor, where it is easy to install and adjust. It should be in a room that is used often, such as a family room.
  2. Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as direct sunlight, close to a lamp, radio, television, radiator, register, near a fireplace, or other heat-producing appliance. Also, check for hot water pipes within the wall, or a stove on the other side of the wall.
  3. Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as on an outside wall, or one separating an unheated room, or in drafts from stairwells, doors, or windows.
  4. Do not locate in a damp or humid area. This can shorten thermostat life due to corrosion.
  5. Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as in a corner, alcove, or behind an open door.
  6. Do not install until all construction work and painting have been completed.

TOOLS REQUIRED
Wire stripper or knife, drill with 3⁄16″ bit, screwdriver, level, and a pencil.

REMOVING OLD THERMOSTAT
Please read all instructions carefully. As you complete each step, check the adjoining square ■■✓.

  • Disconnect the electricity and turn off the gas to the heater.
  • Remove the cover from the old thermostat.
  • Disconnect wires from the thermostat, making sure they do not fall back inside the wall. Make note of wires and to which terminals they are attached as you disconnect them. For example: “Yellow wire to terminal Y, Red wire to terminal RH,” etc.
  • Strip insulation 3⁄8″ from wire ends and clean off any corrosion.
  • Loosen all screws on the old thermostat and remove it from the wall.
  • Fill the wall opening with non-combustible insulation to prevent drafts from affecting the thermostat.

INSTALLING NEW THERMOSTAT

  • Place a new decorative wall plate (if supplied), Figure 4, over the wall opening. The decorative wall plate can optionally be left off.
  • Remove the Front Cover of the new thermostat by inserting a finger in the side of the thermostat and gently prying away each corner. Remove Base, Figure 2, from Sub-Base, Figure 3, by loosening three captive screws.
  • Place Sub-Base, Figure 3, on the wallplate over the wall opening. Mark the wall with a pencil at mounting holes as shown in Figure 2. Now lay the wallplate and Sub-Base to the side.
  • Drill two holes with a 3/16” bit, 1” deep.
  • Insert plastic screw anchors into drilled holes, and flush with the wall surface.
  • Bring wires through a large hole in the decorative wall plate and through Hole For Wires in Sub-Base.
  • Referring to your notes and the following diagrams, attach wires to the terminal screws shown in Figure 2. Make sure bare metal wires do not touch each other. Push all excess wire back into the wall.

NOTE
If you have an electric system and the blower does not operate after installation, find the factory-installed yellow wire currently attached to the “Y” terminal and move it to the “A” terminal on the sub-base.

  • Place Base, Figure 3, over Sub-Base and attach by tightening three captive screws.
  • Fasten loosely to wall using two mounting screws. Place a level against the bottom of the Base, adjust until it is level and then tighten the mounting screws to secure.
  • Find the anticipator setting on old thermostat. The setting on new thermostat should be the same. Do this by carefully sliding the long pointer, Figure 2, over desired number printed on the anticipator. If old anticipator setting cannot be determined, look on gas control on the furnace, or set at at .6. During the heating season, the furnace should operate about five times an hour. If adjustments are necessary, move heat anticipator pointer slightly and recheck.
    NOTE: Set pointer to 1.2 for millivolt systems.
  • Attach the front cover, Figure 1, to base.
  • Turn the electricity and gas back on and set the pointer on top of the thermostat to the desired temperature.
  • FOR HEATING: Set slide switch to “Heat”. Set fan switch to “Auto”.
  • FOR COOLING: Set slide switch to “Cool”. Set fan switch to “Auto”.
  • FAN: For continuous blower operation, set the switch to “ON”. For automatic blower operation set the fan switch to “Auto”. The thermostat will then cycle the blower “on” anf “off”.Luxpro-PSM40SA-Heating & Cooling-Thermostat-Installation-Instruction-FIG-4

A thermostat can only control the temperature near it. If you find that it is uncomfortable some distance away from the thermostat, change the setting in order to compensate for this.
