Thermostat Quick Reference

The low battery icon is displayed when the AA battery power is low. Whenever 

the thermostat detects low battery voltage from the AA batteries, the low battery 

icon will begin flashing on the screen for 21 days (if the batteries are not changed). 

If the batteries are not changed 22 days after the thermostat detects low battery 

voltage, the thermostat screen will only show the flashing battery icon until buttons 

are pressed. If the batteries are not changed 43 days after the thermostat detects 

low battery voltage, the thermostat screen will only show the flashing battery icon 

until buttons are pressed and the set points will offset to 85°F/29°C in cooling and 

55°F/13°C in heating. At this stage, set point changes can be made temporarily but, 

the set points will change back to defaulted values after a 4-hour period. The 

thermostat will continue to perform this low battery flashing, temperature offset 

condition until the internal voltage threshold is reached. When the thermostat 

internal voltage threshold is reached, all relays will be opened and the thermostat 

will become inoperable until new batteries are installed.

Wiring

Tech Settings

Wiring Tips

RH & RC Terminals

For single transformer systems, leave the 

jumper wire in place between RH and RC. 

Remove jumper wire for two transformer 

systems.

Heat Pump Systems

If wiring to a heat pump, use a small 

piece of wire (not supplied) to connect 

terminals W and Y.

(With NO AUX or 

Emergency Heat)

C Terminal

The C (common wire) terminal does 

not have to be connected when the 

thermostat is powered by batteries.

Wire Specifications

Use shielded or non-shielded 

18-22 gauge thermostat wire.

Caution: 

Electrical Hazard

All components of the control 

system and the thermostat 

installation must conform to 

Class II circuits per the NEC Code.

Warning:

Installation Tip:

 Do not overtighten terminal block screws, as this 

can damage the terminal block.  A damaged terminal block can 

keep the thermostat from fitting on the subbase correctly or cause 

system operation issues.    

Max Torque = 6in-lbs.

Wiring

If you are replacing a thermostat, 

make note of the terminal 

connections on the thermostat 

that is being replaced.  In some 

cases the wiring connections will 

not be color coded. For example, 

the green wire may not be 

connected to the 

G

 terminal.

Loosen the terminal block 

screws. Insert wires then 

retighten terminal block screws.
Place nonflammable insulation 

into wall opening to prevent 

drafts.

Features

Temporary and Permanent Hold Feature

Note: 

 This is a programmable thermostat, and will always be 

running  a programmed schedule.  However, it can be overidden with 

a Temporary or Permanent Hold.

Temporary Hold

: With the system in Heat or Cool, anytime the 

SET-AT temperature is changed with the + or - buttons, the 

thermostat will enter a Temporary Hold.  This will be indicated by 

“HOLD” flashing and will remain in this hold until the next 

programmed time period begins.

Permanent Hold

:  To enter a Permnent Hold, press the Hold/Run 

button while “HOLD” is flashing.  The word “HOLD” will remain on 

continuously, indicating a Permanent Hold.

To Return to Running Schedule

:  To manually exit  permanent hold 

and return to scheduled program, press Hold/Run button.

Gas

: For all systems that control the fan during a call for heat, put the 

fan operation jumper pin to the 

GAS

 position.

Electric

:  Select Electric to have the thermostat control the fan 

during a call for heat.
