1 Welcome The Wi-Fi Touchscreen thermostat makes it easier and smarter to control your household temperature. With the help of zone sensors, you can balance hot or cold spots throughout the home to achieve best comfort. You can schedule your thermostat working hours so it will work based on your plan. This guide will provide you with an overview of the product and will help you understand how to use it. 2 In the box PCT513 Wi-Fi Touchscreen Thermostat Wall Plate 2*Screws Label 1.
3 Installation Guide 3-1 Removing your old thermostat Step 1. Switch off your HVAC system Before you start, please switch off your HVAC system to protect you and avoid blowing a fuse. Wait a few minutes, try to adjust the temperature in your old thermostat to double check if the system is off. Breaker box Switch Step 2. Remove the old thermostat Remove the old thermostat from the wall, keep the wallplate with wires.
Step 3. Compatibility Check If you find a thick wire with wire nuts on the backplate of the old thermostat, or if the voltage of your old system is 120v or higher, it will not be compatibled with PCT513. If none of the above, then please proceed to the next step. OR 120V or higher Step 4. Take a photo Take a picture of the wires connected to the terminal of your old thermostat. You may need to reference this photo later.
Step 5. Label the Wires with Tags Label each wire on the wallplate with the tags (label 1) provided. Then carefully disconnect the wires. RC G Y1 W1 C RC RH G Y1 Y2 W1 W2 C O/B Note: If there are any jumper wires between Rh, Rc, or R terminals, do not label them. PCT513 does not need jumpers. Remove them and save along with your old thermostat.
3-2 Connect wires Do you have a C wire connected to your old thermostat? YES → 3-2-1 RC NO → 3-2-2 G Y1 W1 C RC RH G Y1 Y2 W1 W2 C O/B Terminal designation: Terminals RC RH C W1 W2 Y1 Y2 G O/B S What it means 24VAC primary for cooling 24VAC primary for heating 24VAC common 1st stage Primary heating relay / Aux heat 2nd stage Secondary heating relay / Aux heat 1st stage Primary compressor contactor 2nd stage Secondary compressor contactor Fan relay Changeover valve for heat pumps Optional wiring mod
3-2-1 Install the thermostat with a C-wire Step 1. Remove the wallplate Unscrew the wallplate from the wall, gently pull it out to ensure the wires ↑ ↑ will not fall back into the hole. RC G Y1 W1 C RC RH G Y1 Y2 W1 W2 C O/B Step 2. Attach the base of PCT513 to the wall Bundle and insert the wires through the hole of wall plate and the base of PCT513, then attach the base to the wall with the screws.
Step 3. Connect the wires Connect wires to the corresponding terminal in the base. Take a picture of the wires when you finished. You may need to refer it for the wirings in the setup wizard later.
Step 4. DIP Switch Adjust the DIP switch on the back of the thermostat to 'Disconnect' if you have connected both the RC-wire and the RH-wire to the wallplate, otherwise, switch it to the 'Connect' side. DIP switch RC&RH Connect Disconnect Step 5. Attach the PCT513 to the base Gently press the PCT513 into the base until it clicks.
Step 6. Power on your system Congratulation! The installation is finished. Please power on your HVAC system. Breaker box Switch When the power is successfully energized, the thermostat's screen will light up and go into wizard. You can complete the following configuration according to section 4.
3-2-2 Install the thermostat without a C-wire (Optional) Power module Power module requires your system to have the following wires: 4 wires: W/W1, Y/Y1, G, and R (or Rc or Rh) or 3 wires: Y/Y1, G, and R (or Rc or Rh) RC G Y1 W1 RC RH G Y1 Y2 W1 W2 C O/B If you do not have these wires, your system may not be compatible with the power module.
Description: The C-wire is used to provide power to the thermostat. If your system does not have "C" wire, you can use the power module to power your thermostat using the exiting wires. To HVAC control board To thermostat Power module There are two sides with connections. One side (4 terminals) is for thermostat connections, the other side, pre-wired (5 terminals), is for the control board connections.
Step 1. Find the HVAC terminals Find the control board of your HVAC system. Open your HVAC system’s cover and take a picture of the wires connected to the terminals of your old thermostat. You may need to reference this photo later. HVAC Control Board W C G Y R W → C G Y R → Step 2. Label the wires Label only the wires from the control board to your old thermostat with the tags provided (label 2 control board). Label 1.
Step 3. Disconnect the wires Disconnect the W/W1, G, Y/Y1, R wires from the control board. Control Board ↓ W C G W G R Y R Y To thermostat Step 4. Connect the wiring module Reconnect them correspondingly to the 4 terminals side of the power module.
Step 5. Connect the wires Generally, the control board will have W, C, G, Y, R terminal, connect the pre-wired side of the power module (5 terminals) to the corresponding terminals. HVAC Control Board W C G Y R W G Y R To HVAC control board To thermostat Power module Step 6. Position the wiring module The power module should be installed between your thermostat wiring and your control board.
Step 7. Add new tags Add new tags to the following tags to simplify your wiring: R/RC/RH→ RC Label 1. C C If you have a C wire, you will not need the label 2 below. R RC RH O/B * R G RC Y/Y1 RH Y2 G→ C G Y/Y1 Y2 O/B W/W1 W/W1 * W2 W2 Label 2.
