INSTAllATION  
REMOTE TEMpERATURE SENSOR (OpTIONAl)  
A remote temperature sensor can be used if the thermostat has to be mounted in a concealed location. A 8051 flush  
mount or 8053 surface mount remote temperature sensor can be attached to the T1 and T2 terminals and mounted  
in a recommended area. The remote sensor must be enabled in the installer setup menu. When the remote sensor is  
installed it overrides the internal sensor.  
Remote temperature sensor should be mounted:  
• On an interior wall, in a frequently occupied space.  
• Approximately 5‘ above floor.  
Do not mount remote sensor:  
• Behind doors, in corners or other dead air spaces.  
• In direct sunlight, near lighting fixtures, or other  
appliances that give off heat.  
• At least 18” from outside wall.  
• On an outside or unconditioned area wall.  
• Using less than 300’ of wire.  
• In the flow of a supply register, in stairwells, or near  
outside doors.  
• On a wall with concealed pipes or ductwork.  
• Near 120 VAC lines.

THERMOSTAT MOUNTINg  
1. Remove the rear mounting plate from the thermostat.  
2. Pull wires through the opening on the back of the  
thermostat.  
3. Position and level the mounting plate of the thermostat  
on wall and mark the hole locations with a pencil.  
4. Drill 1/4” holes and insert supplied anchors  
(drywall only).  
5. Place mounting plate over anchors, insert and tighten  
screws.  
6. Seal wire entry holes to prevent drafts affecting  
temperature readings.  
pOwER & RESET OpTIONS  
The thermostat is dual power. It can either be AC or battery powered, or both (to provide backup power for the clock).  
Batteries are optional if your thermostat was wired to run on AC power when installed.  
For heat pump systems the C terminal must be connected to the common of the 24VAC transformer in order for the  
system fault and emergency heat indicators to operate.  
The thermostat has a memory backup that saves the thermostat settings in case of a power interruption. The system  
settings will be retained but the clock will reset after 90 seconds with no battery or AC power.  
The reset button located under the battery cover can be used to reset the thermostat to factory defaults. The system  
settings will also be reset to default.

Installation notes:  
• Ensure power at the HVAC equipment is off.  
• Loosen screw terminals, insert stripped wire and  
re-tighten.  
2Jumper between RC & R is used in single transformer systems  
(see wiring diagrams).  
• Push the excess wire back into the opening and plug  
the wall opening to prevent drafts.

In this setting, the heat pump will lock out before the fossil fuel auxiliary heat comes on; eliminating the need for a dual fuel kit. If utilizing  
electric auxiliary heat, set to Electric. In this setting, the heat pump and electric auxiliary heat are allowed to run simultaneously.
