Setup and Installation
1. Turning Off Power
Before beginning installation, ensure the power to your heating and cooling system is completely turned off at the main circuit breaker or fuse box. This is crucial for your safety.
2. Removing Old Thermostat
- Carefully remove the cover of your old thermostat.
- Take a picture of the existing wiring connections for reference.
- Label each wire with the corresponding terminal letter using the provided wire label stickers.
- Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat terminals.
- Unscrew and remove the old thermostat base from the wall.
3. Mounting the New Thermostat
- Separate the front cover of the NP110 thermostat from its base.
- Position the new thermostat base on the wall where the old thermostat was located. Use a level to ensure it is straight.
- Mark the drilling locations through the mounting holes on the base.
- Drill pilot holes if necessary and insert the wall anchors.
- Secure the thermostat base to the wall using the provided mounting screws.
4. Wiring the Thermostat
Connect the labeled wires to the corresponding terminals on the NP110 thermostat base. Refer to the wiring diagram below for common configurations. Ensure wires are securely fastened.
| Terminal | Description |
|---|---|
| R | 24V AC (Heating Power) |
| C | 24V Common (Optional, for continuous backlight) |
| W | Heat Relay |
| Y | Cooling Relay |
| G | Fan Relay |
Note: If your old thermostat had different terminals or you are unsure, consult a professional HVAC technician.
5. Installing Batteries and Attaching Cover
Insert the two AAA batteries into the battery compartment on the back of the thermostat cover, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Once wired and batteries are in place, carefully snap the thermostat cover onto the base.

Operating Instructions
Thermostat Overview

Image: A detailed view of the Emerson NP110 thermostat's display, showing temperature readings and the up/down arrows for adjustment.
The Emerson NP110 features a clear digital display and simple slide switches for mode selection.
- Digital Display: Shows the current room temperature and the set temperature.
- Up/Down Arrows: Used to adjust the desired set temperature.
- Fan Switch (On/Auto): Controls the fan operation.
- System Switch (Cool/Off/Heat): Selects the operating mode.
Setting the Temperature
To adjust the desired temperature:
- Use the Up arrow button to increase the set temperature.
- Use the Down arrow button to decrease the set temperature.
- The display will show the new set temperature briefly, then revert to the current room temperature.
Selecting System Mode
Use the System slide switch to choose the operating mode:
- Cool: The thermostat will activate the cooling system when the room temperature rises above the set temperature.
- Off: The heating and cooling systems are turned off. The fan can still be operated manually.
- Heat: The thermostat will activate the heating system when the room temperature falls below the set temperature.
Fan Operation
Use the Fan slide switch to control the fan:
- Auto: The fan runs only when the heating or cooling system is actively operating. This is the most energy-efficient setting.
- On: The fan runs continuously, regardless of whether the heating or cooling system is active. This can help with air circulation.
Backlight Feature
The display backlight improves visibility in low light conditions. To activate or deactivate the backlight feature:
- Set the SYSTEM switch to the HEAT position.
- Press the UP and DOWN arrow buttons simultaneously for two seconds. The display will show "-L" and "FF" (off) alternately.
- Press UP or DOWN to change "FF" to "ON".
- Move the SYSTEM switch to OFF to exit the feature.
When set to "ON", the backlight will illuminate for a few seconds after any button is pressed, then automatically turn off.

Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: Replace the two AAA batteries annually, or immediately when the low battery indicator appears on the display.
- Cleaning: Clean the thermostat's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Airflow: Ensure that there are no obstructions around the thermostat that could block airflow to the internal temperature sensor.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display or blank screen | Dead batteries; No power to HVAC system. | Replace AAA batteries; Check circuit breaker/fuse for HVAC system. |
| Heating/Cooling system not responding | System switch in "Off" position; Incorrect wiring; Blown fuse in HVAC system. | Set system switch to "Heat" or "Cool"; Verify wiring connections; Consult HVAC technician. |
| Temperature reading seems inaccurate | Thermostat exposed to direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources. | Relocate thermostat if possible; Ensure no obstructions to sensor. |
| Fan runs continuously in "Auto" mode | Fan switch set to "On"; Wiring issue. | Set fan switch to "Auto"; Check G wire connection. |
If problems persist after attempting these solutions, contact customer support or a qualified HVAC professional.
