CONTROL MODULE
INSTALLATION1
The control module should be installed close to the
equipment being controlled. Do not install it within a
metal enclosure that might interfere with wireless
communications. Only standard 18 gauge thermostat
wire is required to wire the module to the equipment.
Two #6 sheet metal mounting screws are included or the
module can be installed with double-backed adhesive
tape.
WIRING2
The control module is powered by the 24VAC from
HVAC system. The diagrams below show wiring when
configured for Gas / Electric and Heat Pump systems.

THERMOSTAT
LOCATION3
The thermostat should be located in an area that
represents the ambient space temperature and within
100 feet of the control module. Do not install the
thermostat in an area where drafts are present, near the
floor, behind doors or on an external wall. Avoid placing
the thermostat in areas where the air movement is
limited, affected by direct sunlight or other areas not
typical of the temperature in the space.
REMOVING THE SUB-BASE4
Hold the sub-base with one hand, press the case as
shown to the right and pull the bottom of the thermostat
from the sub-base. Refer to the illustration to the right.
PRESS HERE TO RELEASE
CASE FROM SUB-BASE

above the floor.
Level the sub-base for appearance and use the wall
anchors and screws provided.
INSTALLING BATTERIES6
Slide the battery cover off and install two AA batteries
included with the thermostat. Install the batteries with the
positive terminals to the right as shown. Replace the
battery cover.

THERMOSTAT INSTALLER OPTIONS7
To reset the factory defaults, remove the batteries and
re-install them while holding the key. All prior
changes will default to the factory settings. This will
require setting the Zone and Home number and linking
to a control module, resetting the time of day and
programming schedules if necessary. Refer to the
Installer Options Chart default settings to make any
additional changes.

RESETTING FACTORY DEFAULTS
If multiple wireless thermostat/control module sets are
used that are less than 500 feet away from one another,
the zone and/or home number for each thermostat must
be changed and each thermostat needs to be to a
control module. It’s helpful to have the thermostat and
control module near each other while setting the Zone
and Home numbers and linking.
