1. Strip the power wires ends, 24 VAC (R) and the Common (C)

approximately 3/8 of an inch.

2. Use the Wire Reference Chart (Table 1) and connect the appropriate

conductor to the wire which protrudes from the back of the thermostat.
If this is a first time installation, note the thermostat wire color for future
reference in order to properly connect the thermostat wiring to the
ceiling assembly.

3. If the system has Heat Pump capability, strip and attach the Cool Active

or Heat Active Reversing Valve wire (O or B), according with the
system needs.

4. If a Gas Heat / Furnace system is to be operated from the thermostat,

strip and attach the Furnace system wire (W2).

5. If an Electric Heater system is to be operated from the thermostat, strip

and attach the Electric Heat wire (W1).

6. If the unit to be controlled by the thermostat has only one Fan speed,

connect both fan wires, Low Fan (G) and High Fan (GH), together.

7. Any unused wire should have its end insulated, using a wire nut or

crimp connector.

8. Gently push the excess thermostat wiring back into the wall opening.

Because the wall may have a different temperature inside when
compared to the outside, fill the wall opening with a noncombustible
insulation. Insure that wires cannot contact screws or sharp edges

     in the wall cavity.
9. Snap the thermostat body onto the base.

E.  Selecting the Model for the RF Wall Thermostat
1. According with the system features that the RF Wall Thermostat is

going to control, a Model Number must be assigned during the power
up. See Table 2 for proper number.

2. When powering up the thermostat, hold the UP push button. Release the

button. The display will be blinking, showing the factory default Model
Number “15”.

3. Use the UP button to change that number for the proper number for

your installation (see Table 2).

4. After choosing the proper Model Number, wait about 6 seconds for the

unit to restart, saving your configuration.

5. If no action is taken for 6 seconds after powering up the thermostat, it

will restart without changing the Model Number.

The remote system will give you control of both the cooling and heating

appliances from the comfort of your favorite chair.  This remote control
system has new features like ON/OFF timer, auto change over (optional
with heat appliance) and dry mode (for humidity control).

Wiring is required between the thermostat and the HVAC unit. The

thermostat wiring is field installed and must be considered before wall
paneling and ceiling panels are in place.  Wall thermostat controlled air
conditioners are normally OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
installed.  Wall thermostat controlled air conditioners may be installed for
aftermarket applications, with additional considerations given to the
thermostat wire routing.

The thermostat is equipped with a 3 amp fuse that will automatically

reset.

These instructions are provided for the proper mounting of the

thermostat itself.  An Operation Chart and Terminal Cross Reference Chart
are provided to show thermostat capabilities.

Wiring procedure is dependent upon the unit to be matched with this

component.

This thermostat is a sensitive instrument.  For accurate temperature

control and comfort, the following considerations should be taken into
account:
1. Locate the thermostat on an inside wall about five feet above the floor.

Pick a dry area where air circulation is good.  The thermostat should be
mounted within a reasonable distance from the appliance the thermostat
will control.  This will assure a more accurate temperature relationship
between the thermostat and the appliance the thermostat will control.

2. Do not install the thermostat where there are unusual heating conditions;

such as direct sunlight, heat producing appliances (television, radio, wall
lamp, etc.) or a furnace or air conditioner supply register.

A separate wire bundle to power the 24 VAC thermostat will need to be

routed between the thermostat and the power supply.  Both 24 VAC (R) and
Common (C) must be brought up to the thermostat.
1. Route the wire bundle between the thermostat and the unit. Allow an

additional 6 inches of length at the thermostat and 12 inches at the Ac
unit.  This will give the installer the required slack necessary for wiring.

2. Route the separate 2 wire thermostat bundle between the thermostat and

the power supply.   Allow 6 inches of additional wiring on both ends.

3. If stapling the wire bundle during the routing process, be careful not to

pierce the thermostat wiring insulation.

C.  Attaching the RF Wall Thermostat
1. Separate the thermostat body from the subbase by gently pulling at the

top and bottom.

2. If this thermostat is a replacement thermostat for one which has failed or

no longer meets the needs of the system: note the thermostat wiring on
the back of the old thermostat subbase, and the system function each
wire was operating. This will save time and trouble when rewiring the
new thermostat. Before removing the thermostat wiring from the old
thermostat, make sure the power supply to the thermostat is
disconnected.

3. Attach the new thermostat subbase to the wall at the desired mounting

location.
