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.

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.
