4.  Align and secure the mounting base to the connection box 

using the two screws supplied;

5.  Route wires coming from the wall through the hole of the 

mounting base and make the required connections using 

the “Four-wire installation” figure, and using the supplied 

solderless connectors. A pair of wires (black) must be 

connected to the power source (120-208-240 VAC) and 

another pair (yellow) must be connected to the heating 

cable (refer to the drawings displayed on the back of the 

thermostat). For connections with aluminum wires, you must 

use CO/ALR connectors. Please note that thermostat wires 

do not have polarity, meaning that any wire can be connected 

to the other. Then, connect the wires of the floor temperature 

sensor at the indicated location behind the thermostat.
