Read This Before Installing Thermostat IMPORTANT Read the entire installation section of this Owner’s Manual thoroughly before you begin to install or operate your Hunter Thermostat. • Remove the mylar label from the display window. 1 INSTALLATION All installation is normally performed at your thermostat. 2 PROGRAMMING You can practice programming before installing your thermostat by inserting and connecting the batteries and following the instructions on page 14.
BATTERY WARNING When the batteries are low, the “LOW BATT” indicator on the display will flash. When this happens, install new batteries immediately. Once the “LOW BATT” indicator appears, the thermostat will continue to operate for approximately 30 days. (Only alkaline batteries should be used in your thermostat. Rechargeable batteries have different properties which may cause the thermostat to not operate properly. Do not use old batteries.) The batteries should last one year.

Installation 8-9 What You Need This thermostat comes with two #8 slotted screws and two wall anchors for mounting. To install your unit, you should have the following tools and materials. ■ Slotted screwdriver ■ Hammer ■ Electric drill and 3/16" bit ■ Two 1.5V (AA) Size Alkaline batteries Remove Old Thermostat CAUTION: Do not remove any wiring from existing thermostat before reading the instructions carefully. Wires must be labeled prior to removal.
TYPICAL HOME THERMOSTATS FIGURE 1 Wall Mounting Plate Thermostat Cover Wall Mounting Plate Thermostat Cover
Installation 10-11 Label Wires ■ Each wire coming from the wall to the existing thermostat is connected to a terminal point on that thermostat. Each of these terminal points is usually marked with a code letter as shown in Table A on page 11. ■ The number of wires in your system can be as few as two (for heat only systems), as many as eight, or any number in between. If you follow the labeling procedures correctly, you do not have to be concerned about how many wires there are.
Wire Labeling If the code letter on your existing thermostat is This table will help you match the labels to the wires so you can attach them to your Hunter Thermostat. then mark wire with label shown RH, R, VR or 4 24 Volt and connect to thermostat Terminal shown RH RH RH RED RC RC, VC 24 Volt Cool RC RC G or F Fan NOTE: Follow the labels when connecting wires since many installations do not follow color coding of wires.
Installation 12-13 Wire Labeling NOTE: If your thermostat has one wire marked R or RH (4-wire system), then leave the jumper wire between the RH and RC terminals. Otherwise, if you have separate RH and RC wires (5-wire system), then remove the jumper wire between the RH and RC terminals. NOTE: Do not connect a “Common” wire (sometimes labelled “C”) to any terminal on this thermostat. Tape up the wire and do not use. This wire provides electricity to nonbattery powered thermostats.
Mount Wallplate and Thermostat Snap open the wallplate from your thermostat by pressing the release tab on the bottom of the thermostat. Position wallplate on wall and pull existing wires through large opening. Then level for appearance. Mark holes for plastic anchors provided if existing holes do not line up with Hunter Thermostat holes. Drill holes with 3/16" bit and gently tap anchors into the holes until flush with wall. Reposition wallplate to wall, pulling wires through large opening.
Installation 14-15 Selector Switches The heating system selector and the F°/C° selector switches are located on the Printed Circuit Board. ■ Heating system selector The heating system selector is a switch on the Printed Circuit Board on the inside of the thermostat. The switch is at “HG” position. Leave it in this position if you have a gas furnace or an oil burner. If you have an electric furnace, test to see whether the heat and fan come on as expected. Leave the switch in the “HG” position.
■ Be sure to tighten the terminal screws securely, otherwise a loose wire could cause operational problems with your system or thermostat. ■ Push excess wire back into hole to prevent interference with mounting of the thermostat cover. ■ Make sure the Function Switch is set at OFF, and the FAN-AUTO Switch is in AUTO. ■ Insert the bottom tab on the thermostat body into the slot at the bottom of the wallplate. Press top of the thermostat body to snap it into the wallplate.
Programming 16-17 Remove mylar label covering display window. When the heating or cooling system is actually operating, “HEAT” or “COOL” will appear on the display. 1 2 3 4 If power is interrupted the batteries will keep all programs. If “LOW BATT” indicator appears on the display replace the batteries. Setting the Time and Day of Week When you first install the two AA batteries, the thermostat automatically sets the day and time to Monday, 12:00 a.m.

Programming 18-19 Typical Suggested Summer and Winter Programs for Maximum Savings Studies conducted by the Department of Energy estimate that setting your thermostat back 10°F for two 8-hour periods during winter can reduce your fuel bill by as much as 33%. By setting your thermostat up 5° for two 8-hour periods during summer you can reduce your fuel bill up to 25%. Your thermostat is capable of holding up to 4 separate programs for each day of the week.
NOTE: The thermostat program will NOT take effect immediately after programming of your thermostat but at the next programmed time/temperature change. The thermostat is preset to 68°F for heat and 78°F for air conditioning. So if you want a temperature other than 68°F or 78°F right away, use the temporary manual override feature (described on page 28) to enter your desired temperature setting.
Programming 20-21 Personal Program Schedule Before programming or changing the program, use this Personal Program Schedule to determine which times and temperature settings will best satisfy both your comfort and energy saving requirements. Use a pencil so you can revise your records each time you change your temperature settings.
Programming Your Thermostat Your thermostat can be programmed in two different ways. 1. Auto-program method 2. Manual method Before programming, position the HEAT/OFF/COOL selector to the mode to be programmed.
