Terminals: R (hot), W (heating), Y (cooling), G (fan), O/B (changeover), C (common).

Applications: Gas or Oil-Burning Furnaces: Yes; Hydronic Heating Systems: Yes; Central Air Conditioning Systems: Yes; Single-Stage Heating and Cooling Systems: Yes; Two-Stage Heat Pumps: Yes.

Precautions

CAUTION! To prevent electrical shock/equipment damage, disconnect power at main fuse/circuit breaker until installation complete. Label wires prior to disconnection. If in doubt about wiring, consult qualified heating/air conditioning contractor.

WARNING! Do not use on circuits exceeding 24 VAC 50/60 Hz (1.5A per terminal, 1.5A max total); higher voltage damages control/causes shock/fire. Do not short terminals on gas valve/primary control to test; short/incorrect wiring burns out components/causes injury/property damage. Conform to NEC Class II circuits. Do not operate cooling below 50°F (compressor damage).

Set the ELEC/GAS switch based on the system type. Set the cycle rate (Fast or Slow for hydronic systems). Install 2 AA batteries and attach the thermostat cover. Restore power.

Wiring Diagrams

Note: For heat pumps, set O/B switch: O for cool, B for heat. Refer to old thermostat wiring for exact matches.

Check Operation

Restore power. Set SYSTEM to HEAT/COOL, FAN to ON/AUTO, adjust setpoint to test.

Fan Operation

2. Adjust setpoint above room temperature; heating should activate.
3. Adjust below; heating should stop.

Emergency System

1. For heat pumps: Set SYSTEM to EMER.
2. Adjust setpoint above room temperature; emergency heat should operate.
3. Adjust below; emergency heat should stop.

Cooling System

CAUTION! Do not operate below 50°F.

1. Set SYSTEM to COOL.
2. Adjust setpoint below room temperature; cooling should activate.
3. Adjust above; cooling should stop.
