CAUTION  
Take care when securing and routing wires so they do not  
short to adjacent terminals or rear of thermostat. Personal  
injury and/or property damage may occur.

ATTENTION! This product does not contain mercury. However, this  
product may replace a unit which contains mercury.  
Do not open mercury cells. If a cell becomes damaged, do not  
touch any spilled mercury. Wearing non-absorbent gloves, take up  
the spilled mercury and place into a container which can be sealed.  
If a cell becomes damaged, the unit should be discarded.

* These are four-wire, single-transformer systems.  
Factory installed jumper wire between the RH  
and RC terminals must remain in place.  
WARNING  
!
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage. Higher  
voltage will damage control and could cause shock or fire  
hazard.  
Attach Thermostat Base to Wall  
1. Remove the packing material from the thermostat.Gently pull the  
cover straight off the base. Forcing or prying on the thermostat  
will cause damage to the unit. If necessary, move the electric  
heat switch (see ELECTRIC HEAT SYSTEMS, above).  
Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary control  
to test. Short or incorrect wiring will damage thermostat  
and could cause personal injury and/or property damage.  
Thermostat installation and all components of the system  
shall conform to Class II circuits per the NEC code.  
2. Connect wires beneath terminal screws on base using  
appropriate wiring schematic (see figs. 2 through 7).  
3. Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole locations  
on wall using base as a template.

4. Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes.  
This thermostat is configured from the factory to operate a heat/  
cool, fossil fuel (gas, oil, etc.), forced air system. It is configured  
correctly for any system that DOES NOT require the thermostat  
to energize the fan on a call for heat. If your system is an electric  
or heat-pump system that REQUIRES the thermostat to turn on  
the fan on a call for heat, locate the GAS/ELECTRIC switch (see  
fig. 1) and switch it to the ELECTRIC position. This will allow the  
thermostat to energize the fan immediately on a call for heat. If you  
are unsure if the heating/cooling system requires the thermostat  
to control the fan, contact a qualified heating and air conditioning  
service person.  
5. Fasten base loosely to wall, as shown in fig. 1, using two  
mounting screws. Adjust until level, and then tighten screws.  
(Leveling is for appearance only and will not affect thermostat  
operation.) If you are using existing mounting holes, or if holes  
drilled are too large and do not allow you to tighten base snugly,  
use plastic screw anchors to secure subbase.  
6. Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire-resistant  
material (such as fiberglass insulation) to prevent drafts from  
affecting thermostat operation.  
Battery Location  
This thermostat requires 2 “AAA” alkaline batteries to operate. If  
is displayed, the batteries are low and should be  
Hydronic (Hot Water or Steam)  
Heating Systems  
This thermostat is set to operate properly with a forced-air heating  
system. If you have a hydronic heating system (a system that heats  
with hot water or steam), you must set the thermostat to operate  
properly with your system.  
replaced. For best results, replace batteries once a year with new  
premium brand alkaline batteries such as Duracell® or Energizer®.  
To replace the batteries, install the batteries along the top of the  
base (see fig.1).The batteries must be installed with the positive (+)  
ends to the right.  
The factory default setting is forced air heat. Clipping jumper W905  
on the circuit board will produce a longer heating cycle which is  
normally for hot water or steam (hydronic) systems. Both settings  
produce a very accurate temperature control and can be set to  
your personal preference. As received, the thermostat cycles the  
system just under 1°F. With W905 clipped, the system cycles at  
approximately 1.5°F.
