and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.

°is thermostat is compatible with most oil, gas, electric,

2 wire hot water systems or single stage heats pumps. °is

thermostat will not control multi-stage heat pumps, line

voltage, or 3 wire hot water systems.

* Do not

disconnect the wires from your old thermostat

until all wires have been properly labeled.

You must

label all wiring accordingly

, wire color may not

indicate the function of the wire.

* Most thermostats are low voltage, and present no threat

to you during the uninstallation or installation process.

As a precaution though, turn off the power to your

Furnace by using the switch on the side or your breaker

box.

* °is thermostat is designed for use with 24 volt AC/

millivolt systems with a maximum of 1 amp

. Higher

amp or line voltage systems will cause damage to your

system and increase the risk of fire.

have screws or other locking devices that must first

be removed. Once the wallplate is exposed, locate

the wire terminals. If the wire terminals are not visible,

they may be connected to the back of the wallplate.

Look for any additional screws, tabs, or locking devices

* Using the chart below, label the wires one at a time from

your old thermostat with the included terminal stickers

and remove them from the thermostat.

* To ensure wires do not fall back into the wall hole, you

may tape them to the wall, or wrap them around a pencil.

WIRE INSTALLATION

A jumper wire has been included on the mounting plate

between the RH and RC1 terminals. °is jumper should

remain between these 2 terminals unless RH and RC each

have their own wire.

Consult the diagram for "5 Wire Heat

/ Cool" on the back of this page.

3-1. Loosen but do not remove the screws on the terminal

block.

NOTE:

Ensure the ends of the wires have enough exposed

wire to insert into the terminal block.

3-2. Insert each wire into the appropriate terminal and

tighten the screw.

Note

. Consult the wiring charts under "Wiring Diagrams"

on the backside of this sheet to ensure proper wiring.

3-3. Gently pull each wire to ensure they are properly

secured.

INSTALLING THE MOUNTING PLATE

2-1. Separate the wallplate from the thermostat by

gripping the thermostat firmly on the top and bottom

with one hand. With the other hand, press the release

tab on the bottom of the thermostat. Pull firmly to

release the two parts from each other.

2-2. Position the wallplate on the wall and pull the wires

through the opening on the mounting plate.

2-3. Level the mounting plate for appearance.

2-4. Mark holes for plastic anchors provided by using a

pencil to place a mark on the wall if your existing holes

do not line up with those on the Hunter wallplate.

2-5. Remove the wall plate and drill two 3/16” holes where

marked.

Note:

Do not let the terminal stickers come loose while

removing the wallplate.

2-6. Tap the plastic anchors into the holes with a hammer

until they are flush with the wall.

2-7. Reposition the wall plate on the wall, pulling the wires

through the opening. Insert the mounting screws

through the wall plate and into the anchors. Verify

that the wall plate is visually level and securely tighten

both screws.

Step 2-7.

FINISHING INSTALLATION

4-2. Once all the wiring and settings have been made on

the backplate and backside of the thermostat, place the

top of the thermostat at an angle over the two tabs on the

wall plate. Press the thermostat onto the wall plate and

press to snap the bottom tab into place.

Note

: Do not force the thermostat onto the wall plate, as

the terminal pins may be damaged. If the thermostat does

not snap into place properly, the unit may not work.

4-4. Restore power at the electrical panel or furnace.

4-1. Locate the SW1 switch on the back of the thermostat.

If you have a gas/oil heating system, move this switch to

the HG (Heating Gas) position, electric based systems

should be set to HE (Heating Electric), and single stage

heat pumps (SSHP) should be set to SSHP.

Warning:

Many 2 wire heat only systems are line voltage.

To determine this, check the size of the wire. If the wire

is much larger than the jumper wire included with this

thermostat do not connect to the thermostat.

Note:

If you have any addition wires that do not match

with the wiring diagrams in this manual, contact our

technical support department for assistance.

Warning:

Never connect a “common wire” to this

thermostat

, sometimes referred to as “C” or “B”. Doing

so could cause damage to the thermostat or your

heating/cooling system. Contact our technical support

department for wiring assistance.

Gather all tools necessary to complete your installation

before removing the old thermostat.

To install your thermostat you should have the following

tools:

Slotted Screwdriver

Phillips Screw Driver

Electric Drill and 3/16” drill bit

Hammer

Four 1.5v (AA) size alkaline batteries

Unpack your new Hunter® thermostat and ensure all

components are present in the Accessory Pack. °is

2 - #8 slotted screws

2 - wall anchors for mounting

1 - sheet of terminal labels

1 - jumper wire

1 - thermostat with mounting plate.

* Often, 2 wire heat only systems do not have terminal

labels. Connect 1 wire to the RH terminal and the other

to W.

* If both "O" and "B" are present, "B" may be a common

wire. Contact our technical support department for

wiring assistance.
