installations only).

INCLUDED FLOOR/SLAB TEMPERATURE SENSOR:

This thermostat kit contains a floor/slab temperature sensor that gets wired to the thermostat baseplate. The

floor/slab sensor is an important component in the system, to properly control the heating output commands.

The thermostat uses information from both the on-board internal room/air sensor, and also the wired remote

floor/slab sensor during temperature control. The thermostat controls the room/air temperature to your

desired setpoint value using the heat provided by the floor, but also maintains the floor/slab temperature to

within the MIN/MAX thresholds that you would like it to remain within.

The recommended location in the slab for this sensor is inside of an extra piece of radiant floor tubing at least

3-4 ft. (90-120 cm) in from the perimeter of the slab, with this tube at a depth of approximately 1 in. (25 mm)

below the finished surface of the slab. Please ensure that the sensor is positioned at least 8 in. (20 cm) from

any heated water tubing within the floor/slab, so that the true temperature of the slab is being measured.

REMOVAL OF OLD THERMOSTAT:

1.Turn OFF the electricity to all heating and cooling components. Do not turn the electricity back on until all

work is completed.

2.Remove the front portion of your old thermostat to expose the wiring connections.

3.Write down the letters printed near each wire terminal that is used, and also the color

of each wire that is connected to it.

4.Carefully remove the wires one at a time, and bend them in a manner so that they do

not fall back inside the wall. Do not allow bare wire ends to touch each other.

5.Loosen the mounting screws for the old thermostat and carefully remove it from the

wall.

THERMOSTAT MOUNTING LOCATION:

On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in place of the old one unless the conditions listed

below suggest otherwise. On new installations, please follow these general guidelines:

1. Mount the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor.

2. Do not locate the thermostat where air circulation is poor such as in a corner, alcove, or behind a door that

is normally left open. Do not locate the thermostat where unusual heating or cooling conditions may be

present, such as: direct sunlight, above a lamp, television, or radiator, or on a wall next to an exterior door

or window.

3. Do not locate in a damp environment, as this can lead to corrosion that may shorten thermostat life. If

painting or construction work is still ongoing, cover the thermostat completely or wait until this work is

complete before installation.

INSTALLATION NOTES:

• This thermostat is powered by the 24 VAC from the system, and must have a System Common wire (negative

[-] side of the 24V transformer) attached to the “C” terminal adjacent to the “RH” wire connection.

• If you only have three wires going to the thermostat location (RH, C, and W), then your hydronic zone valve

will need to receive its Common connection from the transformer. If your hydronic zone valve cannot

receive a Common Power connection directly from the transformer, the thermostat can provide Common

Power to the zone valve using the optional “C” terminal output along with the “W” terminal for heating

activation, but a fourth wire must be added.

INSTALLATION OF NEW THERMOSTAT:

1. Loosen the screw underneath the middle of the thermostat housing, and

separate the two halves by pulling the two bottom surfaces apart.

2. If needed, strip wire insulation leaving only 1/4 in. (6 mm) bare wire ends, and

clean off any corrosion present.

3. Route the wires through the large opening in the new thermostat base plate,

and attach your wires using the diagrams on the back page of this installation

sheet.

4. When attaching the wires to the thermostat, please ensure that the bare wire

ends are held all the way into the terminal block while the screws are being

tightened.

COMPLETE THE INSTALL:

1. Fill the wall opening with non-combustible insulation to prevent drafts from

affecting the thermostat’s normal operation.

2. Hold the base against the wall, and try to line up the screw holes from the prior

thermostat to mount the base plate

3. If the previous holes cannot be used, hold the thermostat base against the wall

so that it appears straight and level (position the base for best appearance) and

mark for the new screw holes. Attach the base to the wall using the screws

provided (use the supplied plastic anchors if needed when mounting to a soft

material such as drywall).
