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.
1. Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, at about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the
floor, and in a room that is used often.
2. Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as:
direct sunlight, near a lamp, television, radiator, register, fireplace, on a wall
opposite a stove, or that carries hot water pipes.
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 where air circulation is poor, such as: in a corner or alcove,
or behind an open door.
5. Do not locate in a damp area.  This can lead to corrosion that may
shorten thermostat life.
6. Do not install the unit until all construction work and painting has been
completed.

1.  Switch 

OFF the electricity to

both the furnace and air

conditioner; then proceed with

the following:
2.  Remove cover from old

thermostat.  Most are snap-on

types and simply pull off. Some

have screws on the sides, these

must be loosened first.
3.  Take note the letters printed

near the wire terminals.  Attach labels (enclosed) to each

wire for identification by terminal letter, not color.
4.  Make sure the wires do not fall back inside the wall,

and remove and label one wire at a time.
5. Loosen all screws on the old thermostat and/or base,

and remove it from the wall.

1.  Strip insulation leaving 3/8 in. (9.5mm) of bare wire on the
ends and clean off any corrosion present.
2.  Fill the wall opening with non-combustible insulation to
prevent drafts from affecting the thermostat.

3. Pull your new thermostat apart by opposite pressure on the two
thumb tabs located on the bottom edge of the thermostat to separate
the unit

NOTE: 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.

4. Hold the base against the wall.  Route the wires through the
larger hole adjacent to 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.

5.  Clean bare wire ends must be inserted between the

black clamp plate and the brass terminal.
6.  Securely tighten all electrical terminal screws (even
unused ones).

The diagrams below are provided for new installations
or for unreferenced wires.

7. Please review the "SETUP OPTIONS" section to configure the
thermostat's options.

NOTE: Before use, remove the plastic film (if present) that is protecting
the LCD display screen.

8. Install two (2) Energizer

®

or DURACELL

®

"AA" size Alkaline Batteries

at this time.  **For instructions on installing the batteries, see the
"BATTERIES AND MAINTENANCE" section.
9. Install your DMH110 thermostat onto its base.  To do this, line up
the tabs on all four corners and gently push the unit straight onto the
base.  Do not use unnecessary force if the body does not snap into
place easily.  Remove the body, line it back up and try again.
10.Turn the electrical power back ON to both your heating and/or air
conditioning systems.
11.Verify that both systems (and the blower fan) are operating properly.
When set to a high temperature, the heating system should provide
warm air after a short time in 

Heat Mode.  Likewise, a cooling system

should provide cool air after a short time when set to a low
temperature in 

Cool Mode.  Usually, sound from the furnace and air

conditioning units can be heard while either of them is running.  The
rush of moving air should be heard within a short time after either has
been started.
12.Your installation is now complete.

NOTE: If you have an Electric Heat system and the blower does not
operate after installation, locate the "Gas/Electric" option inside the back
of the thermostat.  Move the jumper to the "Electric" position.

NOTE: This thermostat is able to be installed and used without changing
the items in this SETUP OPTIONS section.  These are optional, and are
provided to meet your personal preferences.

The Hardware 

RESET button restarts your thermostat's internal

programming and then returns the unit back to normal operation.  A press
of this button is required to recognize any jumper setting changes
performed at the back of the thermostat on the circuit board.  This reset is
a white button located inside on the back of the thermostat, on the circuit
board.  It is labeled 

RESET.

There are four (4) headers (or jumpers) located inside the thermostat at

the rear of the circuit board.  These settings can be changed from their
default values by removing its corresponding black jumper cap and
reinstalling the cap so that it is positioned on only one (1) of the metal
pins, and not both.  A change to ANY of the jumper settings will not be
recognized by the thermostat until a HARDWARE RESET is performed.
An OPEN jumper means the cap is only on one (1) metal pin, and a
CLOSED jumper means the cap is on both of the metal pins.  Each of
these jumpers changes a different option, the choices for these options
are listed in a table printed on the circuit board.

A table similar to this one shown

here is printed on the thermostat's
circuit board.  There may be minor
differences in some of the wording of
your specific model, but the function
of each option will be the same.

This setting changes the minimum length of time that the heating or

cooling system must remain either on or off before it will automatically
switch to the alternate on or off state.  The purpose of this feature is to
provide air conditioning compressor protection by preventing brief or
undesirable on/off cycling.

This setting controls whether the temperature is displayed in

degrees °F or °C on the LCD screen.

This setting changes the size of the temperature control band with

respect to the set point.  The larger the swing setting, the larger the
temperature control range will be.  Conversely, the smaller the swing
setting, the smaller (or tighter) the temperature control range will be.
This setting is called NARROW and WIDE.

This setting changes whether the system's blower fan (if applicable)

is controlled by the thermostat in 

HEAT mode.  Choose ELECTRIC if

you have electric heating, and require the thermostat to control the fan.
Choose 

GAS if you have a gas heating system, this will allow the

furnace itself to control the operation of the blower fan.

The MODE switch has three positions: 

HEAT, OFF, and COOL.  In the

winter, set the mode switch to 

HEAT to control your heating system; in the

summer, set the switch to 

COOL to control your air conditioning.  In the

spring and fall, or when the windows are open, you can set the switch OFF.
When the switch is in the 

HEAT position, the word "HEAT" will be displayed

next to the temperature.  When the switch is in the 

COOL position, the word

"COOL" will be displayed next to the temperature.  Either of these indicators
will be flashing if the system is currently running, or on steady if the system
is not currently running.

NOTE: When the system mode switch is in the OFF position, it is normal for
the system's blower fan ("G" terminal if used) to still become activated
depending upon the position of the FAN mode switch (see below).

The FAN switch has two positions: 

AUTO and ON.  Whenever the fan is

commanded on by the thermostat, the word "FAN" will flash on the LCD
display.

●

In the 

AUTO position, the operation of the blower fan is determined only

by the on/off cycling of the heating and cooling systems.

●

When the FAN switch is in the 

ON position, the system's blower fan will

be commanded ON, and remain ON while the FAN switch is in the ON
position (this also includes when the System Mode Switch is in the OFF
position).

NOTE: The FAN switch only works if your system provides a wire for the
DMH110's "G" terminal.

There are three push buttons below the unit's display screen.  These are

used to: adjust the set point temperature, modify the values for user
changeable options, and to select the “SAVE” feature.

While in 

HEAT or COOL mode, a single press on either the UP or DOWN

button causes the word “SET” to appear on the screen.  Once “SET” is
present, the set point can be altered by pressing either the 

UP or DOWN

button once per degree of change, or by holding either button down for at
least two seconds to automatically increment the set point quickly in the
associated direction.

If the ambient temperature displayed on the LCD screen does not exactly

match a nearby thermometer, or perhaps another thermostat in the home,
the user has the ability to adjust or shift the displayed temperature.  The
displayed temperature can be altered by up to 5°F (or 3°C) in either
direction.  This adjustment is performed by first placing the System Mode
switch to the 

OFF position, then by pressing and holding both the UP and

DOWN buttons together for at least two (2) seconds, the screen will display
the word SET, and the default selection of zero (0).  Press either the 

UP or

DOWN buttons for the associated direction of change.  Note: If no buttons
are pressed within four (4) seconds, the thermostat will return back to normal
run mode.

The DMH110 thermostat does not require batteries to operate your

heating and cooling systems, however if you are planning on using only
system power to run your thermostat, we do strongly recommend the use of
good quality alkaline batteries in addition to the system power source.
Replace the batteries when the “LO BAT” indicator appears in the display, or
At Least Once A Year.
1. To access your unit's battery location, remove the front half of the
thermostat from its base plate by applying opposite pressure on the two
thumb tabs located on the bottom edge of the thermostat and separate the
unit.
2. The battery tray is located adjacent to the circuit board.
3. Remove the used batteries from the battery tray (if present) and install
two new Energizer

®

or DURACELL

®

"AA" size Alkaline Batteries into the

battery compartment.  Observe the correct polarity markings shown in the
compartment.
4. Install your DMH110 thermostat back onto its base plate.  To do this, line
up the tabs on all four corners and gently push the unit straight onto the
base.  Do not use unnecessary force if the body does not snap into place
easily.  Remove the body, line it back up and try again.
