THERMOSTAT LOCATION  
Thank you for your confidence in our product. To obtain the best results  
On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in place of the old one  
unless the conditions listed below suggest otherwise. On new installations, follow  
the guidelines listed below.  
READ  
from your investment, please read these instructions and acquaint yourself with  
your purchase before installing your new thermostat. Then follow the  
installation procedures, one step at a time. This will save you time and  
minimize the chance of damaging the thermostat and the systems it controls.  
INSTALLATION  
INSTRUCTIONS  
FIRST  
1. Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor, and in  
a room that is used often.  
These instructions may contain information beyond that required for your particular installation.  
Please save for future reference.  
2. Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as: in direct  
sunlight; near a lamp, radio, television, radiator, register, or fireplace; near hot  
water pipes in a wall; near a stove on the other side of a wall.  
3. Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as: on a wall separating an  
unheated room; or in a draft from a stairwell, door, or window.  
4. Do not locate in a damp area. This can lead to corrosion that will shorten  
thermostat life.  
5. Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as: in a corner or an alcove; or  
behind an open door.  
6. Do not install the unit until all construction work and painting has been completed.

You can use the built-in time/temperature programs, or alter them to suit your  
schedule. The TX250 provides separate programming for weekdays and weekends  
— for both heating and cooling. You can override the programmed temperatures for  
as little as one programming period or for an entire vacation.

In cool weather, when the system switch is set to HEAT, the TX250 may maintain  
cooler “set back” room temperatures to save energy. It will then change to warmer  
“comfort” settings — automatically, at specified times during the day.

ADVANCED FEATURES  
TEMPERATURE SWING  
A thermostat works by turning your heating or cooling system on and off whenever the  
room temperature varies a certain number of degrees from the set-point temperature. This  
variation is the “swing.”

The FAN switch works only if your system  
provides a wire for the TX250’s “G” terminal.  
Your system should cycle on about 3 to 6 times per hour. A smaller swing number  
increases the number of cycles, so room temperature is more constant. Setting “1” is  
approximately 1/4°F. Each increase of 1 value increases the swing by approximately 1/4°F.  
A larger swing number decreases the number of cycles, and may save energy in some  
cases.
