heating systems, and single stage heat pumps.  
It cannot be used with 120 volt heating systems  
or two stage heat pumps. Ask your dealer for  
other LUX thermostats to control those systems.  
2. Note the letters printed near the terminals. Attach labels (enclosed) to each  
wire for identification. Remove and label wires one at a time. Make sure the  
wires do not fall back inside the wall.  
3. Loosen all screws on the old thermostat and remove it from the wall.  
• A large easy to read display shows you  
the current room temperature at all times.  
MOUNTING THE UNIT ON THE WALL  
1. Press down on the button on top of thermostat and swing the body away  
from the base and down to remove the body from the base.  
• The unit has a built in digital control system  
to accurately control the temperature in your home.  
• The unit will learn the temperature characteristics of your home on a daily basis and  
customize the control to give you the best comfort possible from a digital thermostat.  
2. Strip insulation 3/8  
in. (9.5mm) from wire  
ends and clean off  
any corrosion.  
3. Fill wall opening with  
non-combustible  
insulation to prevent  
drafts from affecting  
the thermostat.

You can also select a tighter temperature control if you have a forced hot water system or if  
closer comfort is preferred over energy savings.  
R
A press of either the Temperature Up or Down key will reveal the current Set Temperature.  
A 4-minute minimum off time in COOL prevents your air conditioning system from being

If you are mounting the base to a soft material like plasterboard or if you are  
using the old mounting holes, the screws may not hold. Drill a 3/16-in. (4.8mm)  
hole at each screw location, and insert the plastic anchors provided.  
Then mount the base as described below.  
ATTACHING WIRES  
4. Hold the base against the wall, with the wires coming  
through wherever it is convenient for wiring. Route the  
wires to below the terminal block. Position the base  
for best appearance (to hide any marks from an old  
thermostat). Attach the base to the wall with the two  
screws provided.

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.”  
Your thermostat is carefully tuned to provide you with exceptional comfort as well as provide you  
with energy savings. Should you desire to have the temperature controlled even more tightly in  
your home at the expense of increased energy savings, you can change the swing value. Also  
users of forced hot water systems may find this setting more comfortable.  
Located on the back of the thermostat body are three jumpers.  
To change from 0.5 degree F control to 0.25 degree F control, remove the jumper indicated by  
0.5 F / 0.25 F.  
INSTALLING BATTERIES/ MAINTENANCE  
Press the small unmarked button on the front of the thermostat with a paper clip for the change  
to take effect. The unit will now control your home to 0.5 degrees.  
The unit requires batteries to operate your furnace and retain its memory.  
Replace the batteries when the LO BATT indicator appears in the display or at  
least once a year.  
5 MIN/2 MIN MINIMUM RUN TIME  
Your thermostat has an internal timer built in to protect your compressor. The timer forces a  
minimum on-time of 5 minutes. You may change this minimum on-time to 2 minutes. To  
accomplish this, place the jumper labeled W3 over both pins. You must press the small  
unmarked button on the face of the thermostat for the changes to take effect.  
N O T E  
If you have an electric system and the blower does not operate after installation, find the  
electric/gas heat selector on the back of the body. Move the selector to the ELEC position.
