Introduction
The thermostat is a wall mounted, low-voltage thermostat which

heating and air conditioning system. Batteries are not required;
temperature and mode settings are preserved with the power off.

power stealing device and mUST have both R and C connected.

Thermostat Location
Thermostat should be mounted:
- approximately 5 ft. (1.5m) from floor.
- Close to or in a frequently used room, preferably on an
inside partitioning wall.
- On a section of wall without pipes or duct work.
Thermostat should NOT be mounted:
- Close to a window, on an outside wall, or next to a door
leading to the outside.
- Exposed to direct light and heat from a lamp, sun,
fireplace, or other temperature-radiating object which
may cause a false reading.
- Close to or in direct airflow from supply registers and
return-air grilles.
- In areas with poor air circulation, such as behind a door
or in an alcove.
