Kuweka na Kuweka
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your thermostat. If you are unsure about any steps, consult a qualified HVAC technician.
1. Tahadhari za Usalama
- Turn off power to the heating and cooling system at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel before beginning installation.
- Ensure all wiring connections are secure to prevent electrical shorts or hazards.
2. Removing Old Thermostat
- Zima nishati kwenye mfumo wa HVAC.
- Ondoa kifuniko cha thermostat yako ya zamani.
- Take a picture of the existing wiring connections for reference.
- Label each wire with the terminal designation it was connected to (e.g., W for Heat, G for Fan, Y for Air Compressor, R for Power).
- Carefully disconnect the wires and remove the old thermostat base from the wall.
3. Kuweka Thermostat Mpya
- Feed the thermostat wires through the opening in the new thermostat base.
- Secure the thermostat base to the wall using the supplied screws and anchors.
- Ensure the base is level for accurate temperature readings.
4. Viunganisho vya Wiring
Connect the labeled wires to the corresponding terminals on the new thermostat base. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your unit for specific connections. Common connections include:
- R (au Rh/Rc): 24VAC Power (often red wire)
- W: Heat (often white wire)
- Y: Air Compressor / Cool (often yellow wire)
- G: Fan (often green wire)
- O / B: Heat Pump Reversing Valve (if applicable)
Note: If your system has separate transformers for heating and cooling, ensure the Rh and Rc terminals are connected correctly, or remove any jumper if instructed by your system's wiring diagram.
5. System Type Selection (Gas/Electric)
Locate the Electric/Gas switch inside the thermostat unit. Set this switch according to your heating system type:
- Weka kwa ELEC for Heat Pump or electric heat applications.
- Weka kwa GESI for gas or oil applications.
6. Ufungaji wa Betri
Your thermostat requires two "AAA" alkaline batteries for operation. These are typically included. To install:
- Open the battery compartment, usually located at the bottom front of the thermostat.
- Insert the two "AAA" batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).

- The display will show both the current room temperature and the set temperature.
2. Fan Settings
The Fan switch controls the blower fan operation:
- Washa: Kipeperushi hufanya kazi mfululizo, bila kujali ikiwa mfumo wa kuongeza joto au wa kupoeza unafanya kazi.
- Otomatiki: Shabiki huendesha tu wakati mfumo wa kupokanzwa au kupoeza unafanya kazi kikamilifu. Huu ndio mpangilio wa kawaida na wa matumizi ya nishati.

- BONYEZA: The heating and cooling systems are turned off. The fan can still be operated manually if set to ON.
- JOTO: Thermostat itawasha mfumo wa joto wakati halijoto ya chumba iko chini ya halijoto iliyowekwa.
Matengenezo
1. Kubadilisha Betri
Replace the two "AAA" alkaline batteries annually, or immediately when the low battery indicator appears on the display. To replace:
- Fungua sehemu ya betri.
- Ondoa betri za zamani.
