INSTALLATION
1. This thermostat is a 24 VAC only control. Leave the Voltage Selec-
tion Switch in the 24 VAC position for proper operation. Failure to
select the correct voltage will result in thermostat malfunction or perma-
nent thermostat damage.
2. Connect wires using the wiring diagram. Wire nut off all unused wires.
All connections must be located in the outlet box.
3. Install the T170 base with the two furnished mounting screws to
a standard 4 x 4 x 2-1/8” square device box with a 2” x 4” mud ring
mounted horizontally. Tighten the screws evenly but do not over tighten.
4. To use a remote sensor on units with local sensing capability, remove
jumper JP-1 to disable local sensing. Failure to remove JP-1 will cause
improper operation of the thermostat with a remote probe installed.
5. Verify that the circuit board is rmly snapped into the cover and has
not been dislodged during handling.
6. Install the cover assembly. Press rmly to engage the cover locking
snaps.
7. Checkout: After wiring and installation is complete, energize the
system. Set fan to ON. Set the system button to AUTO, or available
selection. Using the UP arrow, adjust temperature above the ambient
temperature to cycle heating stage(s) on. Using the DOWN arrow adjust
the temperature below ambient temperature to cycle cooling stage(s)
on.
TYPICAL OPERATION
System Button Operation
OFF All thermostat outputs are off.
AUTO The thermostat automatically selects heating or cooling mode
depending upon the set point and room temperature. The ap-
propriate HEAT or COOL icon are illuminated if demand exists.
A 3°F dead-band is provided to prevent short cycling between
heating and cooling modes. After changeover, the control point
automatically shifts so that the control off point equals the set
point temperature.
COOL The thermostat operates as a cooling only thermostat.
HEAT The thermostat operates as a heating only thermostat.
Up/Down Arrow Button Operation
Up/Down arrows increased or decreased temperature.
Fan Button Operation
In ON the fan output is continuous. In AUTO the output cycles with
demand. Some models are available with Controlled Off and or Staged
Fan.
F/C Button Operation
This button toggles from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
Speed Button Operation
Some models have a Speed button instead of a F/C button. Fan speed
is determined by manual selection of HI or LO. Holding this button in
for 5 seconds will toggle the displayed temperature from Fahrenheit to
Celsius.
