Warning:
The electricity to your heating/cooling system should be turned off before attempting to install or remove any thermostat. Failure to do so could result in bodily injury and damage to equipment.
Getting Started
First, determine that your heating/cooling system is compatible with KELVIN. KELVIN??? will work with most 24V gas, oil or electric heating and cooling systems. It will NOT work with any 120 volt heating systems. Please see the technical specifications for more information. Professional installation is highly recommended.
Mounting Instructions
If you are replacing an existing thermostat please verify that the location fits the criteria below.
The KELVIN??? thermostat should be mounted approximately 5ft from the floor
KELVIN should be located in an area with good airflow
KELVIN should not be located near anything that will affect its temperature reading prematurely. Some examples of this are:
???Direct sunlight
???Directly above a radiator
???Located in a non heated room
???Next to an outside door
Remove the old thermostat
Make sure that the electricity to the heating and cooling system is turned off. Remove each wire one by one from the old thermostat. Make sure to label the wires (Rc, Rh, W, H, etc) so they can be connected to KELVIN correctly. Make sure that the wires do not fall into wall. You can wrap the wires around a pencil to stop them from falling into the wall.
Separate the thermostat body from the wall plate by pressing on the two indents on the bottom of the thermostat and pulling the two pieces apart.
Press Here 
Mounting KELVIN to the wall
Hold the wall plate up to the wall. Place a mark in the center of each of the mounting holes. Make sure that wires come through the open section of the wall plate. Verify that the wall plate is level. The thermostat will work correctly if it is not level, however the installation will look a lot nicer if it is. If you are mounting the unit to sheetrock, use the two wall anchors provided. Drill a 3/16??? hole as marked on the template. Tap the wall anchors into the sheet rock so that they are flush with the wall. Mount the wall plate with the screws provided.
Connecting the wires
Connect the correct wire to the corresponding terminal screw. You may need to strip some of the insulation off the wire to make the connection. If the original thermostat did not have labels (or this is a new installation) please refer to the figure below for the correct wiring reference. If your system has separate wires for cooling (Rc) and heating (Rh) then you need to remove the
factory jumper between Rh and Rc. If you don???t see your configuration listed or are unsure of how to connect it, please contact a Professional or call technical support for more information.

Quick programming guide
1) Insert 4 AA batteries (not included) into KELVIN as shown below.
Setting the time.
Open the door to expose the programming buttons.
Press and hold the SET TIME button until the thermostat says ???Set the time???.
Use the up and down buttons to set the hour. Each press will change the hour by one.
You can scroll through the hours more quickly if you disable the voice prompts by pressing the VOICE button. After the hour has been set, press the SET TIME button again and the minutes will begin to flash. Use the up and down keys again to set the minutes. Finally press the SET TIME button a third time to complete the process.
Setting the day
Press the SET DAY button. The thermostat will advance one day for each press of the SET DAY button. Keep pressing the button until the correct day is reached.
If you disabled the sound you should
Testing KELVIN
Snap the thermostat body onto the wall plate and set it to heat mode. Press the up button and raise the temperature at least 2 degrees more then the current temperature. Wait a minute or so and verify that your heat has turned on. You should hear a click when the thermostat enables the heating system. After you verified that the heating system works turn the temperature back down to the desired level. The cooling system can be tested in a similar manner, but the thermostat needs to be set to cool.
Using KELVIN
One of the features that makes KELVIN unique is that you can raise and lower the temperature by using your voice. To do this walk over to the thermostat and press either the up or down button. The thermostat will then tell you the time and temperature. After that it will be waiting for your instructions. There are two possible commands ???raise??? and ???lower???. If you say, ???raise??? KELVIN will raise the current set temperature 1 degree. You can then say ???raise??? again and change it another degree. KELVIN will listen for 15 seconds before it stops listening for your command. KELVIN will also respond to ???lower??? in similar manner however it will lower the temperature by one degree instead of raising it.
Advanced Settings
Gas/Electric Setting
Power Stealing
-If your have an electric system and the fan does not operate after the testing phase. You need to change the Gas/Electric jumper. To do this remove the thermostat from the wall and turn it over. On the back you will see a small opening. Put a jumper on J13, to connect the two pins. This will enable electric mode.
Since this opening is very small you will probably
need to use a pair of needle nose pliers or a tweezers.
If you have problems with your heating of cooling system not turning off, you will need to remove the jumper from J14. Again this jumper is located in the little window on the back of the thermostat. Since this opening is very small you will probably need to use a pair of needle nose pliers or a tweezers.
If your system contains a C wire, then you can change J14 from connecting the 2nd and 3rd pins to the 1st and 2nd pins. This will enable the thermostat to run without any batteries. However batteries should always be left in the unit incase of a power failure. Please remember to remove any jumpers that might be installed across terminals C and W or C and Y. Failure to do so could result in damage to the thermostat.
