INSTRUCTIONS of damaging the thermostat and the systems it controls. These instructions may
contain information beyond that required for your particular installation. Please
save for future reference.
FIRST
1. Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor, and in a
room that is used often.
2. Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as: in direct
sunlight; near a lamp, radio, television, radiator, register, or fireplace; near hot water
pipes in a wall; near a stove on the other side of a wall.
3. Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as: on a wall separating an
unheated room; or in a draft from a stairwell, door, or window.
4. Do not locate in a damp area. This can lead to corrosion that will shorten
thermostat life.
5. Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as: in a corner or an alcove; or
behind an open door.
6. Do not install the unit until all construction work and painting has been completed.
7. This thermostat does not require leveling.

You can use the built-in time/temperature programs, or alter them to suit your

Sunday — for both heating and cooling. You can override the programmed temperatures

In cool weather, when the system switch is set to HEAT, the TX1500 will maintain

TEMPERATURE SWING
NIGHT 10:00 PM 62° 10:00 PM 82°
A thermostat works by turning your heating or cooling system on and off whenever the
room temperature varies a certain number of degrees from the set-point temperature. This
variation is the “swing.”
The dial must be in the RUN
position to close the door.
Your system should cycle on about 3 to 6 times per hour. A smaller swing number
increases the number of cycles, so room temperature is more constant. A larger swing
number decreases the number of cycles, to save energy in most cases.
PROGRAMMING THE TX1500
You can change any preset times and/or temperatures to suit your schedules for the
