to Y1 on the thermostat. Connect AUX heat to the W2/E terminal.
!
1. Turn off power to heating and cooling system.
2. Remove cover of old thermostat to expose wires. Do not
disconnect wires. (See Figure 1)
3. Label wires per the Wiring Table.
4. After labeling wires, remove wires from terminals.
5. Remove existing thermostat base from wall.
6. Refer to the following section for instructions on how to

setting is at least 3 degrees below the room
temperature. The air conditioning system should turn on within a
few seconds.
NOTE: ONCE THE THERMOSTAT TURNS OFF WHEN IN THE COOL MODE,
A BUILT IN 5-MINUTE DELAY PREVENTS THE SYSTEM FROM
TURNING ON AGAIN. THIS PROTECTS THE COMPRESSOR. NO
ADDITIONAL TIME DELAY RELAY IS REQUIRED. TO OVERRIDE THE
5-MINUTE DELAY FOR INSTALLATION, PRESS THE RESET BUTTON.
3. Put the EMER-HEAT-OFF-COOL switch into the
OFF position. The air conditioning system
should turn off.

Temperature Differential
st
The temperature differential for 1 stage is factory set at 1.0°F (.5°C). This
means that whenever the room temperature changes by one degree
Fahrenheit from the temperature setting, the system will turn on. If the sys-
tem turns on too often, increase the temperature differential.
nd
NOTE: The temperature differential for 2 stage is factory set at
2.0°F (1.0°C)
