Procedure
- Use a 1/16 in. (1.5 mm) Allen wrench or Johnson Controls® T-4000-119 Allen-Head Adjustment Tool (order separately) to remove the security screw if it is installed on the top of the thermostat cover as illustrated in Figure 1.
-
Pull the top edge of the cover and open the thermostat as illustrated in Figure 1.
Important: The cover is not secured on the bottom. Do not drop the cover.Important: If you install more than one thermostat, keep track of which cover attaches to which base. The thermostat version and the base version must match to ensure correct operation.Important: Use correct Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions during installation and servicing to avoid damage to the electronic circuits of the thermostat.Figure 1. Removing the security screw and the thermostat cover
-
Align the thermostat mounting base on the wall with the security screw on the
top and use the base as a template to mark the two mounting hole locations. See
Figure 2.
Notes:
- If you need to install the thermostat on an electrical junction box, use 2-1/2 x 4 in. (63 x 101 mm) square boxes with mud ring covers and avoid smaller 1-1/2 x 4 in. (38 x 101 mm) square or 3 x 2 in. (76 x 51 mm) boxes. This procedure ensures that you have enough space for cabling, if needed.
- For surface-mounted applications, use durable mounting hardware, such as wall anchors, that cannot be easily pulled out of the mounting surface.
- Pull approximately 6 in. (152 mm) of wire from the wall and insert the wire through the center hole in the thermostat mounting base. See Figure 2.
-
Secure the mounting base to the wall surface using two mounting screws (user
supplied) as illustrated in Figure 2.
Note: Do not overtighten the mounting screws.Figure 2. Mounting hole locations, dimensions, in. (mm) and securing the thermostat mounting base to the wallNote: When you mount the unit on the wall, you can hang the front cover on the end of the back cover as illustrated in Figure 3.Figure 3.
