Gently pull the old thermostat away from the wall. Disconnect wires one by one, noting their labels. Remove any screws or clips securing it. Store wires safely to avoid damage or tangles, ensuring a smooth transition to the new T6 Pro installation.
Mounting the Thermostat
Mount the UWP plate level on the wall, aligning with the wall opening. Secure it firmly, then snap the thermostat into place for a safe, seamless installation.
4.1 Aligning the UWP with the Wall Opening
Ensure the UWP is level and align it with the wall opening. Gently push the UWP until it snaps securely into place. Proper alignment ensures stability and correct functionality of the thermostat, preventing any installation issues later on. Always check for level accuracy before securing the mounting plate to the wall anchors provided.
4.2 Securing the UWP Mounting Plate
Insert the UWP over the wall anchors, ensuring it is flush against the wall. Tighten the screws firmly to secure the plate. Verify the UWP is level and properly aligned. Once secured, check that the plate is stable and even, ensuring a solid base for the thermostat installation. This step is critical for proper thermostat functionality.
4.3 Snapping the Thermostat into Place
Align the thermostat with the UWP mounting plate, ensuring proper alignment. Gently push the thermostat onto the plate until it snaps securely into place. Verify that the thermostat is evenly seated and the display is visible. Once installed, turn the power back on and proceed to configure the settings as needed.
Wiring and Power Connections
Ensure all wires are securely connected to the appropriate terminals. Push excess wires into the wall opening and close the UWP door to maintain a clean installation.
5.1 Identifying and Connecting Wires
Identify the wires by their color coding or labels, ensuring they match the terminal designations on the T6 Pro Thermostat. Connect each wire to the correct terminal, securing them firmly. Push any excess wire back into the wall opening before closing the UWP door to ensure a clean and safe installation. Refer to the wiring diagram for specific configurations.
5.2 Ensuring Proper Power Supply
Turn the power on at the breaker box and verify the thermostat display lights up. Check that the system powers on correctly. If the thermostat doesn’t turn on, ensure all wires are securely connected and not damaged. Avoid short circuits and ensure the circuit voltage matches the thermostat’s requirements for proper operation.
5.3 Safety Precautions for Wiring
Always turn off power at the breaker box before handling wires to avoid electric shock. Handle wires gently to prevent damage. Ensure no bare wires touch each other, which could cause short circuits. Secure connections firmly but avoid overtightening. Use the correct tools and follow the wiring diagram. Never leave wires loose or exposed.
