To install the Equipment Interface:
- Make sure the surface is relatively flat and, if you are using a power adaptor, make sure there is
an electrical outlet within five feet of where you plan to mount the device. - Remove the front cover of the Equipment Interface. If necessary, Insert a flat-head screwdriver into one of the
slots as shown below, and gently twist the screwdriver. Place the back of the enclosure on the intended mounting surface and use it as a template to mark the location of the mounting holes, as shown below.
Move the back of the enclosure out of the way and make the holes where indicated in step 3. The mounting
holes can accommodate a #6 pan-head screw.- Fasten the back plate to the wall using the appropriate screws (not included).
Wiring the Equipment Interface
- Disconnect the power to the heating and air conditioning equipment.
- Disconnect the wires going to the existing thermostat.
