READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING49-5000637 Rev. 0 5 Before You Begin

• Determine the appropriate installation location for the thermostat The thermostat must not be installed near or on metal structures or surfaces including metal air ducting that may be in the wall. 0HWDOVWUXFWXUHVDQGVXUIDFHVVLJQL¿FDQWO\ reduce the range of the wireless signal. A. Refer to the Zoneline Owner’s Manual to enable the use of a wall thermostat. For AZ45/65 Series Models, auxiliary mode 6 should be set to “6A”. B. Zoneline output is 24VAC. Be sure the jumper on the wireless control card is on the AC position – jumper is connecting “R” and “C” (common) pins. This is the default position.6 49-5000637 Rev. 0

NETWORK INSTALLATION ONLY

NOTE: This section is not required unless the thermostats are networked Pairing the Thermostat and the Control Card: In case of Network Installation with online management, the thermostat and the Control Card must be paired with a Network Programmer specific to the property before the installation. Note: Thermostat and Control Card are factory paired. The thermostat and control card must not be powered during the pairing procedure - remove batteries from the thermostat and unplug the control card from the HVAC unit during the pairing procedure.

• Plug one programmer connector into the thermostat;

• Plug the other programmer connector into the control card.

The red light on the programmer should turn on and remain steadily lit.

If the red light on the programmer is blinking or is not steadily lit, unplug the programmer from the thermostat and the control card and repeat the steps above.

• Unplug the programmer from the thermostat and the control card. Thermostat Network Programmer Programmer Connector Control Card49-5000637 Rev. 0 7 Thermostat Installation Installing the Wireless Control Card

• Power off the Zoneline

• Insert the Control Card wiring harness into the thermostat connection port on the front of the Zoneline control box cover. AC input Remote Thermostat Connection Red Aux Set Button Image 18 49-5000637 Rev. 0 Thermostat Installation Installing the Wireless Control Card (cont.)

• Using double sided tape, attach the control card to the Zoneline control box cover (see image 2). The wireless control card antenna must not be touching any metal components of the hvac unit. The wireless control card antenna must face the thermostat on the wall and be oriented so that any metal parts of the Zoneline do not obstruct the wireless communication to the thermostat and, in case of a network installation, to other wireless control cards and the server. The wireless control card must not be placed in the Zoneline condensation pan and must be mounted so it cannot fall into the condensation pan.

• For wired applications, join the common and 24VAC wires with any code-approved low voltage field supplied connection method.

Remove the thermostat cover;

Replace the two (2) AA-cell batteries (not-supplied);

Follow the “Thermostat Configuration” instructions to set the thermostat clock;

Press the “Power” button to start using the thermostat; NOTE: The thermostat maintains all the “Thermostat Configuration” settings in a non-volatile memory. There is no need to configure the thermostat again after battery replacement. NOTE: While batteries are not required in a wired installation, batteries should be installed to prevent re-configuring the time on the thermostat if a power failure occurs.49-5000637 Rev. 0 28 Troubleshooting Error Codes ERR1 - Thermostat Temperature Sensor Hardware Defect ERR2 - Thermostat Radio Hardware Defect ERR3 - Thermostat Radio Software Defect ERR4 - No link with the Wireless Control Card ERR5 - Thermostat Memory Defect NOTES: For ERR1, ERR2, ERR3, and ERR5, call GE Appliances service. (Phone number located in Limited Warranty section on page 32. For ERR4, reset the configurations starting on page 5.29 49-5000637 Rev. 0 Troubleshooting The thermostat is not controlling the HVAC unit. Check if the HVAC unit is set to “External Thermostat” (Class 2) mode. Refer to Zoneline Owner’s Manual, Aux settings. Verify the status of the red light on the Wireless Control Card.

The red light is off The Wireless Control Card is not powered. Verify that the Wireless Control Card is properly wired to the HVAC unit-specifically make sure that the RED and the BLACK wire are properly connected.

If the red light is blinking with one (1) flash. The Wireless Control Card is powered but it is not communicating with the thermostat, turn the thermostat off and on to re-initiate the linking procedure. In case of a Network Installation, re-link the thermostat and the Wireless Control Card with the Network Programmer.

The red light is blinking with three (3) flashes. The Wireless Control Card is communicating with the thermostat. Verify that the Wireless Control Card is properly wired to the HVAC unit and that equipment settings on a thermostat - compressor type, electric heat and reversing valve - are properly configured.49-5000637 Rev. 0 30 Troubleshooting Initiating a Master Reset If there are reported errors or configuration issues, the user may master reset the thermostat to its default parameters. Procedure:

Remove the faceplate of the thermostat

Power down the thermostat by either removing the batteries or cutting power to the thermostat.

While the thermostat is powered off, press and hold the “config” button located on the control board inside the thermostat.

• Restore power to the thermostat by reinstalling the batteries.

• Once the screen lights up, release the “config” button.

If the master reset was successful, the thermostat will display “12:00”,indicating all settings will be reset to default and the thermostat needs to be re-configured.
