- Unscrew the front cover of the junction box [A] and remove it.
- Remove the knockouts [B] with a hammer and a screwdriver.
ASSEMBLE THE THERMOSTAT
- Attach the thermostat using the screws provided.
- To ensure proper grounding and heat transfer, make sure the thermostat is screwed in securely and is in contact with the junction box cover.
CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY WIRES
Complete the thermostat’s electrical connection according to one of the diagrams below. Tighten the wires securely in the supplied connection caps.
WARNING: Be sure to connect the wire colours as shown in the diagrams when making electrical connections.
INSTALL THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Install the temperature sensor [A] as shown, making sure it is firmly seated at the bottom of the groove.
INSTALL THE INTERFACE
- Make sure surfaces are clean and dry. Position the interface so that the numbers face in the correct direction, as shown.
- Remove the adhesive protection on the back of the interface.
