Install guide i29 rev.3 Your thermostat is a precise instrument, take care. Turn off electricity to the appliance before installing or servicing thermostat or any part of the system. Do not turn electricity back on until work is completed. Do not short (jumper) across electric terminals at control on furnace or air conditioner to test the system. This will damage the i29 Master Thermostat (Wall Unit) and void your warranty. All wiring must conform to local codes and ordinances.
Install guide i29 To avoid electrical shock and to prevent damage to the furnace, air conditioner, and all thermostats, disconnect the power supply before beginning work. This can be done at the circuit breaker, or at the appliance. You will need a small Phillips screwdriver and possibly a drill with 3/16-in. (4.8mm) bit for mounting the i29 Master Thermostat (Wall Unit). The i29 Wireless Thermostat system is made of two parts – The i29 Master Thermostat (Wall Unit) and the Slave Thermostat.
to weather conditions. It can be mounted at any angle on the wall. 24VAC Power – The Wall Unit REQUIRES the HVAC24VAC power wire (C) to work. If the C wire is not available at a previous wall installation, the C wire must be added or the Wall Unit should be mounted at the HVAC location where the C wire power is always available.
You will need at least 2.6” of wire for each of your connections to the Wall Unit. If you do not have enough wire, splice additional wire to allow enough slack. Fan out wires below the hole as shown. Please follow these guidelines for safe and secure wire connections. Easy Terminals do not require stripping the wire. Clip any bare wire from previous installation. Take care not to damage the labels for each wire in handling. Fan wires out as illustrated with Wall Unit below the wall opening.
·Find the reference page with your wiring diagram and jumper set-up information. Remember, the C wire or 24vdc power is required for the Wall Unit. If you combination of wires is not above you can use the wiring table on pages 17-18 to determine your connections, or call our USA support line at 1-877-505-2353 for help.
Hold the Wall Unit against the wall, with the wires coming over the top above terminal block. The unit will back cover the hole in the wall. Position Wall Unit for best appearance. Use the optional stand-offs if more space for wires is needed behind. Attach the unit to the wall with the screws provided. If you are mounting the unit to sheet rock or if you are using the old mounting holes, use the plastic anchors provided. Drill a 3/16-in. (4.
Remove the unit from back cover to configure the Thermostat. Refer to the step-by-step wiring diagram you used to wire the Wall Unit. There you will find a jumper setting diagram for the unit (pages 10 through page 16). Push RESET on the Thermostat (anytime set up jumpers are changed, reset is required) After you have finished the wiring of the WALL UNIT unit and the set the JUMPERs of the unit, the two units must be radio connected before they can be used.
The radio z-wave icon also shows a radiation pattern every time the Slave Thermostat communicates with the WALL UNIT unit. Once the two units are connected, follow these procedures to verify you have correctly installed the Thermostat and its WALL UNIT unit. Because of the radio communication confirmation system, there will be a small delay between the operation and the function. Follow these procedures to verify you have correctly installed the i29 system.
NOTE: The Thermostat comes from the factory calibrated to +/-1。of actual temperature. It is an accurate instrument. If you want your thermostat to display the same temperature as another thermometer in your home, you can adjust its calibration. To change the calibration: Remove the i29 Thermostat from back cover. Locate the calibration switch and slide it to the ON position. The current calibration factor (+/-) of the Thermostat will appear in the LCD display.

The i29 Thermostat can be used with most 24 volt gas, oil or electric heating and air conditioning systems, heat pumps or gas millivolt heating systems. It cannot be used with 120 volt heating systems. Ask The Home Depot for other thermostats to control those systems. The i29 Thermostat is digital. You can set your desired heat and cool temperature set point directly on the Large LCD display. You can easily override the set temperatures.

Operation guide i29 rev.5 Statement of use: The i29 Thermostat can be used with millivolt, 24VAC, 1 and 2 stage conventional gas/oil/elect heat, 1 and 2 stage heat pumps, 2 or 3 wire zoned hot water, zoned forced air, 1 stage cooling and hybrid systems. It cannot be used with 120 volt heating systems.
Location The Thermostat should be located in a convenient location in the living area. It is important to keep the thermostat away from HVAC registers, windows, direct sun, or a breezy areas. Do not hold the Thermostat for long period as your hands, this will heat it and change the displayed room temperature. If this occurs it may take 20 minutes to re-stabilize to the actual room temperature. Configure Set HEAT/COOL mode buttons to HEAT or COOL. The unit will display the Room temperature.
save energy position could be used when you are going to work, going to bed, on vacation, etc. Setting the FAN switch to AUTO automatically runs your system’s fan during heating and cooling. Setting the FAN switch to ON runs the systems fan continuously. The Thermostat should not be held for very long as the heat from your hands will heat up the i29 Thermostat and eventually change the displayed room temperature.
/ ℃ Select The F/C jumper is under the top cover. It determines which temperature system is displayed on the LCD display. With the jumper off, the display is Fahrenheit (default). With the jumper on both pins, the display is Centigrade. When this jumper is changed, the unit must be reset (on the top cover). To set a Heat Pump’s Aux only mode If you have a heat pump with auxiliary heat, and the heat pump is not working, you can use just the aux heat. To do this, change the mode button to OFF.
