This low voltage thermostat is designed to provide conve-
nient control of the heating/cooling system. To provide
greater room comfort, the sensitive spiral bimetal is com-
bined with an adjustable heating anticipator and a fixed
cooling anticipator to provide maximum comfort.

CAUTION
!
Do not exceed the specification ratings.
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment
damage, disconnect electric power to system at
main fuse or circuit breaker box until installation
is complete.
All wiring must conform to local and national electrical
codes and ordinances.

Heat Pump Applications
ATTACH SUBBASE TO WALL
This subbase WILL NOT provide multi-stage heating or
cooling operation. For single-stage heat pump applica-
tions, install a short jumper wire across terminals W and
Y. If the old thermostat has a terminal that is continuously
energized, disconnect the wire from the old thermostat's
terminal and connect it either to the: 1) B terminal, if the
reversing valve is energized on a call for heat; or to the 2)
O terminal, if the reversing valve is energized on a call for
cool. If the system heats on a call for cool, or vice versa,
this wire has been connected to the wrong terminal.
CAUTION
!
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment
damage, disconnect electric power to system at
main fuse or circuit breaker box until installation
is complete.
1. Disconnect electrical power at main fuse or circuit
breaker.
2. Pull wires through opening near center of subbase
and connect wires beneath terminal screws (see figs.
2through6fortypicalwiringforeachapplication.Also
refertosubsectionsbelowforspecialsystemconfigu-
rations).
NOTE
RH and RC must be jumpered for single transformer heat
pump systems.
3. Push excess wiring into wall and plug hole with fire-
resistant material (such as fiberglass insulation) to
prevent drafts from affecting thermostat operation.
Special Application Terminals
The B and O terminals can provide switching for special
functions other than heat pump operation. When the
system switch is in the HEAT position, the B terminal is
energized. When the system switch is in the COOL
position, the O terminal is energized.
4. Positionsubbaseoverholeinwallandmarkmounting
hole locations on wall.
5. Drill mounting holes.
6. Fasten subbase loosely to wall, as shown, using two
mounting screws. Place a level against bottom of
subbase, adjust until level, and then tighten mounting
screws to secure subbase. If holes in wall are too
large and do not allow you to tighten subbase snugly,
use plastic expansion plugs to secure subbase.
ATTACH THERMOSTAT TO SUBBASE
1. Remove cover from thermostat base by gripping the
base in one hand. Use the other hand to pull gently at
the top or bottom of the cover.

2. Carefully remove the shipping protective packing
from the switch.

3. Attachthermostatbasetosubbase,beingsurethatall

The subbase as shipped may not operate the fan cor-
rectly. If both the heating and cooling system must oper-
ate the fan relay, remove the yellow factory-installed
jumper wire from the Y terminal and connect it to the A
terminal. The fan should now cycle when the thermostat
calls for either heat or cool.
4. Snap cover on thermostat and set switches and
temperature lever to desired set point (see OPERA-
TION section).
5. Turn on power to the system.

OPERATION &
MAINTENANCE
This thermostat is easy to operate. Fig. 8
shows how the heating/cooling system
and fan operate when the switches are in
various positions. Use the system switch
to select either heating or cooling, or to
turn the heating/cooling system off. Use
the fan switch to control fan operation.
When the fan switch is in the AUTO
position,thefanwillcyclewiththeheating
or cooling system (the fan will not run if
the system switch is in the OFF position
and the fan switch is in the AUTO posi-
tion). When the fan switch is in the ON
position, the fan will run continuously,
regardlessofsystemswitchposition(even
if the system switch is set to OFF, the fan
will run if the fan switch is in the ON
position).

1. The anticipator’s heat may adversely affect thermo-
stat recalibration. To prevent this, disconnect electri-
cal power to the thermostat at the furnace, main fuse,
or breaker box.
ADJUSTING HEAT ANTICIPATOR
CAUTION
!
The adjustable heat anticipator WILL BURN OUT
if 25 VAC is applied directly to the thermostat by
shorting out the primary control during testing.
This may cause personal injury and/or property
damage.
2. Movetemperatureadjustmentlevertoasettingabout

3. Remove thermostat cover. Slip 7¦32” wrench onto hex
nut beneath bimetal (see fig. 10). While holding
temperature adjustment lever stationary, turn hex
nut clockwise until movable contact moves off of
magnet.
This thermostat is equipped with an adjustable heat
anticipator and was preset at the factory to provide
satisfactoryoperationoftheheatingsystemundernormal
conditions. If additional adjustments are necessary, they
may be made as follows (see fig. 9):
4. Move temperature adjustment lever to lowest setting.
5. Replace thermostat cover. Wait 10 minutes for bi-
metal temperature to stabilize. Do not stand near the
thermostat during this period, as your breath and
body heat will affect bimetal temperature.
1. Remove thermostat cover.
2. If heat cycle is too long, set heat anticipator to a
slightly lower dial setting (1¦2 division).
6. Move temperature adjustment lever to correspond to
actual room temperature. Then remove thermostat
cover.
3. If heat cycle is too short, set heat anticipator to a
slightly higher dial setting (1¦2 division).
