2.1 Removing the Old Thermostat

IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, CUT
POWER TO THE HEATING SYSTEM.

n Remove the old thermostat to access the wires.

Warning: If the old thermostat was mounted onto an electrical box,
it was probably powered by 120/240 volts. In this case, this thermo-
stat cannot be used.
o Identify and label each wire (with the corresponding letter on
the wire terminal) and remove them from the terminals.

p If necessary, strip the end of each wire (maximum of 1/4 inch).

q Wrap the wires around a pencil to prevent

them from falling into the wall.

r If the hole in the wall is too big, insulate it

using a non-flammable material in order to
avoid air draughts behind the thermostat.

2.2 Installing the New Baseplate

For a new installation, choose a location approximately 5 feet
(1.5 m) above the floor and on an inside wall. Avoid draughty
areas (top of staircase, air outlet, etc.), dead air spots (behind
doors), direct sunlight or areas near concealed pipes or chim-
neys.

n Remove the thermostat faceplate.

o Loosen the locking screw to separate the thermostat from its

baseplate (the screw cannot be completely removed).

p Tilt the thermostat upwards.

q Mark and bore the appropriate mounting holes (or use the

existing holes). Insert the plastic anchors.

r Pass the wires through the opening of the baseplate and fix the

baseplate to the wall using the screws provided.

2.3 Connecting the Thermostat

The connection of the new thermostat should be similar to that of
the old thermostat; however, it can vary depending on the installa-
tion.
Note: The red jumper wire between the Rc and Rh terminals must
be removed in 2- or 5-wire installations. The jumper must be used in
3- or 4-wire installations if you wish to use the mode selector switch
for the fan.
