Step-by-Step Installation Process

Begin by turning off the power to your HVAC system at the circuit breaker. Remove the existing thermostat carefully to avoid damaging wires. Mount the new Furrion thermostat using the provided hardware, ensuring it is level and securely fastened. Refer to the wiring diagram to connect the wires correctly: R (power), W (heating), Y (cooling), G (fan), and C (common). After wiring, restore power and test the thermostat in both heating and cooling modes to confirm proper function. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent future issues.

Wiring Diagram and Requirements

The Furrion thermostat requires a standard HVAC wiring setup. Refer to the wiring diagram for connections: R (24V power), W (heating), Y (cooling), G (fan), and C (common). Ensure all wires are securely connected to their respective terminals. For multi-zone systems, additional wires may be needed for zone control. Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before starting installation to avoid electrical hazards. Verify compatibility with your Furrion Chill system and consult a professional if unsure. Proper wiring ensures safe and efficient operation of your thermostat and HVAC system.

Mounting the Thermostat

Mounting the Furrion thermostat requires careful preparation. Ensure the location is central and visible for easy access. Use the provided mounting hardware, such as screws and wall anchors, to secure the unit firmly. For drywall, drill pilot holes and insert anchors to prevent screws from slipping. Align the thermostat straight using a level to ensure proper installation. If mounting on wood or metal, adjust hardware as needed. After securing, verify that all connections are tight and the thermostat functions correctly. This ensures optimal performance and longevity of the device. Proper mounting is crucial for accurate temperature control and system efficiency.

Product Features
