ROUTE WIRES TO LOCATION
1. If an old thermostat is being replaced and is in a
satisfactory location, and the wiring appears to be in
good condition, use existing wiring. If in doubt, rewire.
2. If a new location is chosen or if this is a new installation,
thermostat wire must first be run to the location se-
lected. All wiring must conform with local and national
electrical codes and ordinances.
3. Probe for obstructions in partition before drilling 1 ⁄

”
hole in wall at selected location. Take up quarter round
and drill a small guide hole for sighting (see Fig. 1).
From basement, drill
3 ⁄
4
” hole in partition floor next to
guide hole. In houses without basements, drill 1 ⁄
2
” hole
through ceiling and into partition from above (see Fig.
1).
4. Through this hole drop a light chain, or 6” chain
attached to a strong cord. Snag cord in basement with
hooked wire. In houses without basements, drop cord
through hole in ceiling and down partitioning; snag
cord at the thermostat location.
5. Attach thermostat wire to cord and pull wire through
hole in wall so that 6” of wire protrudes.
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment dam-
age, disconnect electric power to system, at main
fuse or circuit breaker box, until installation is
complete.
This typical wiring diagram shows only terminal identifica-
tion and wiring hook-up. Always refer to the wiring instruc-
tions provided by the equipment manufacturer for system
hook-up.
All wiring should be installed according to local and
national electrical codes and ordinances.
Wire colour DOES NOT indicate polarity. Polarity is
obtained from an oscilloscope or voltmeter.

INSTALLATION
SELECT THERMOSTAT LOCATION
Proper location insures that the thermostat will provide a
comfortable home temperature. Observe the following
general rules when selecting a location:
1. Locate thermostat about 5 ft. above the floor.
2. Install thermostat on a partitioning wall, not on an
outside wall.
3. Never expose thermostat to direct light from lamps,
sun, fireplaces or any temperature radiating equip-
ment.
4. Avoid locations close to windows, adjoining outside
walls, or doors that lead outside.
5. Avoid locations close to air registers or in the direct
path of air from them.
6. Make sure there are no pipes or duct work in that part
of the wall chosen for the thermostat location.
7. Never locate thermostat in a room that is warmer or
cooler than the rest of the home, such as the kitchen.
8. Avoid locations with poor air circulation, such as be-
hind doors or in alcoves.
9. The living or dining room is normally a good location,
provided there is no cooking range or refrigerator on
opposite side of wall.
