- Page 2: Installation and user guide Safety Failure to read and follow all instructions carefully before installing or operating this control could cause personal injury and/or property damage. To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage, disconnect electric power to the system at the main fuse or circuit breaker box until installation is complete. To prevent compressor and/or property damage, if the outdoor temperature is below 55°F, do not operate the cooling system. This information is intended for use by individuals possessing adequate backgrounds of electrical, mechanical, HVAC, and experience. Attention: Mercury notice This product does not contain mercury. However, this product may replace a product that contains mercury. During installation, testing, servicing, and troubleshooting of this product, it may be necessary to work with live electrical components. Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage. Higher voltage will damage control and could cause shock or fire hazard. Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary control to test. Short or incorrect wiring will burn out thermostat and could cause personal injury and/or property damage.
- Page 3: American Standard 103 Non-Programmable Product specifications Product models: ACONT103, 103 Size: 3-7/8” x 5-1/2” x 1-3/16” (HxWxD) Operating temperature: 32°F to 105°F (0 to +41°C) / 90% RH Non Condensing Input power (DC): Two 1.5V AAA Alkaline System modes: Heating, Cooling, Off, Emergency Heat The 103 is a non-programmable HP 2H/1C thermostat with a digital display for use with HP applications only. The 103 is designed for installation in climate controlled living spaces. For proper temperature sensing, avoid exposing the 103 to heat radiated from lamps, sunlight, fireplaces, or any other radiant heat source.
- Page 4: Installation and user guide Pull the cover off the thermostat body. Forcing or prying on the thermostat will cause damage to the unit. Connect wires to terminal block on base using appropriate wiring diagram. Move base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole locations on wall using base as template. Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire resistant material to prevent drafts from affecting thermostat operation. Two “AAA” alkaline batteries are included in the thermostat at the factory with a battery tag to prevent power drainage. Remove the battery tag to engage the batteries. The O/B switch on this thermostat is factory set to “O” position. If your emergency or auxiliary heat system requires that the thermostat energize the fan circuit, do not cut jumper W906. The factory default setting for temperature display is Fahrenheit. If you prefer slow cycle, clip jumper W905.

- Page 8: Installation and user guide for the thermostat provides an overview of its features and operation. Familiarize yourself with the display and the location/operation of the thermostat buttons and switches before use. The flame icon indicates the system is in heating mode, while a flashing flame icon signifies that the second-stage heat is activated. A snowflake icon shows that the system is in cooling mode, and both icons flashing indicate the thermostat is in lockout mode. The thermostat buttons include an up arrow to raise the temperature setting and a down arrow to lower it. The fan switch can be set to ON or AUTO. The display shows the current temperature and the programmed set temperature, which is blank when the system is off. The system switch allows selection between COOL, OFF, HEAT, and EMER modes. A BATT indicator appears when the batteries are low and need replacement. New AAA alkaline batteries should be installed if the house will be unoccupied for an extended period.
- Page 9: American Standard 103 Non-Programmable Cooling System Move SYSTEM switch to COOL position. Press to adjust thermostat setting below room temperature. The blower should come on immediately on high speed, followed by cold air circulation. To prevent static discharge problems, touch side of thermostat to release static build-up before touching any keys. If at any time during testing your system does not operate properly, contact a qualified serviceperson. Configuration Menu The configuration menu allows you to set certain thermostat operating characteristics to your system or personal requirements. Move the SYSTEM switch from the OFF position to exit the configuration menu. Heating System Move SYSTEM switch to HEAT position. If the auxiliary heating system has a standing pilot, be sure to light it. The heat pump system should begin to operate. The auxiliary heat system should begin to operate and the Flame icon will be flashing. Emergency System EMER bypasses the Heat Pump to use the heat source wired to terminal E on the thermostat. EMER is typically used when compressor operation is not desired, or you prefer back-up heat only.
- Page 10: Installation and user guide Troubleshooting Reset operation: Pressing specific buttons can reset the thermostat and restore factory defaults. For optimum performance, replace batteries once a year with fresh “AAA” alkaline batteries. Common problems include no heat, no cool, or no fan, often caused by blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. If the thermostat does not function correctly after a reset, contact your heating/cooling service person. Diagnostic steps include setting the system switch to heat or cool and checking for secure wire connections. Heating system may require service or thermostat replacement if issues persist. Thermostat cycles may be influenced by its location or the size of the heating/cooling system. Thermostat thermometer setting can be adjusted by +/-3 degrees. A blank display or unresponsive keypad may indicate a voltage spike or static discharge.
