WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD — Turn off power by unplugging the unit or by removing the fuse or switching the appropriate circuit breaker to the OFF position before removing the existing thermostat. Failure to do so could result in risk of electric shock.

PACKAGE CONTENTS/TOOLS REQUIRED:

Package includes:

  • Thermostat base
  • Thermostat
  • Screws
  • Wall anchors
    • 2-Way and 1-Way Thermostat Connectors

Tools needed:

  • Drill with 3/16" bit
  • Hammer
  • Screwdriver
  • Putty

TO REMOVE EXISTING THERMOSTAT

  1. Turn off power to heating and cooling system by removing the fuse or switching off the appropriate circuit breaker.
  2. Remove cover of old thermostat. This should expose the wires.
  3. Remove wires from wire terminals. Note which color wires are attached to each terminal.
  4. Remove existing thermostat base from wall.
  5. Refer to the following section for instructions on how to install this thermostat.

TO INSTALL THERMOSTAT

IMPORTANT: Thermostat installation must conform to local and national building and electrical codes and ordinances.

NOTE: Mount the thermostat about five feet above the floor. Do not mount the thermostat on an outside wall, in direct sunlight, behind a door or in an area affected by a vent or duct.

  1. Turn off power to the heating and cooling system by removing the fuse or switching off the appropriate circuit breaker.
  2. Loosen (do not remove) the screw on the bottom of the thermostat assembly to remove thermostat from base.
  3. Put thermostat base against the wall where you plan to mount it. Make sure wires will feed through the wire opening in the base of the thermostat. Ensure enough clearance to dress excess wire slack.
  4. With the base level, mark the placement of the mounting holes.
  5. Set thermostat base and thermostat away from working area.
  6. Using a 3/16" drill bit, drill holes in the locations you have marked for mounting.
  7. Use a hammer to tap supplied anchors in mounting holes.
  8. Align thermostat base with mounting holes and feed the control wires through the wire opening.
  9. Seal hole for wires behind thermostat with non-flammable insulation or putty, or use a wall plate obtainable from a local hardware or home building store.
  10. Use supplied screws to mount thermostat base to wall.
  11. Insert stripped wires in matching wire terminals by pressing on the corresponding terminal contact. See the "Wiring" section of this manual.

NOTICE

Make sure exposed portion of wires do not touch other wires.

  1. Gently tug wire to be sure of proper connection. Double check that each wire is connected to the proper terminal.
  2. Replace thermostat by snapping it in place and tighten bottom screw.
  3. Plug the unit in or turn on power to the system at the main service panel.
  4. Test thermostat operation in all modes (fan only, cooling, heating and both fan speeds).

WIRING

Refer to equipment manufacturer's instructions for specific system wiring information. After wiring, see INSTALLER MENU for proper thermostat configuration.

This thermostat is capable of two different wiring communication types:

1) 2-Way Communication: This communication may not be available for all single speed compressor models. This is the preferred form of communication for our variable speed compressor models. This communication protocol provides temperature and humidity data to the variable speed unit to optimize operation. Wiring to the unit will be made with a 4 or 5 wire connector. If your unit came with a 5 pin/5 wire connector, please see Diagram 2. Otherwise, please use the 5 pin/4 wire connector included with this thermostat and refer to Diagram 1.

5 Pin / 5 Wire Connector 5 Pin / 4 Wire Connector

2) Standard (1-Way) Communication: This is conventional thermostat thermostat communication where the thermostat provides only relayed signals for the unit to respond to. For this method, wiring to the unit will be completed using an 8 pin connector:

Wiring diagrams on the following pages are for typical systems and describe the thermostat terminal functions.

Precautions

  • Do not exceed the specification ratings.
  • All wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes and ordinances.
  • This control is a precision instrument, and should be handled carefully. Rough handing or distorting components could cause the control to malfunction.

WARNING

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 primary control to test. Short or incorrect wiring will burn out thermostat and could cause personal injury and/or property damage.

CAUTION

To prevent electrical shock

and/or equipment damage, disconnect electrical power to system, at main fuse or circuit breaker box, until installation is complete.

Note: 2-way communication provides variable speed models with temperature & humidity data to optimize performance.

A link icon (see page 15) will be displayed on the thermostat when a successful 2-way connection has been made.

For make up air models: To deliver make-up air only when a room is occupied, be sure to enable make-up air occupancy control on the unit (mode b2).

Problem Solution
No Display Press power button to ensure thermostat isn't off.Check for 24 VAC; display is blank when 24 VAC is not present
System fan does not come on properlyVerify that wiring is correct. (Note: Variable Speed units have fan that ramps up and down slowly)
All thermostat buttons are inoperativeVerify that 24 VAC is present; unit will not operate when 24 VAC is not present.
Thermostat turns on and off too frequentlyAdjust temperature differential (see Configuration Mode - Setting Temperature Differential, Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3 section).
Fan runs continuously Check fan selection. If set to High or Low in 8-wire mode, fan will run continuously. If thermostat is in 2-way control mode, verify the Auxiliary settings of the Zoneline HVAC unit.
Compressor doesn't run or turn off immediately when changing function or settingThere is a 3 minute time delay and a 3 minute minimum run time for the compressor when it turns on/off.
Fan doesn't run or turn off immediately when changing function or settingThis is normal. On some models, the fan may have a minimum run time/off time delay.
