4.2. Pre-Installation Checklist

1. Ensure your system is compatible (refer to Section 3).
2. Gather necessary tools: screwdriver, wire stripper (if needed), drill (if new mounting holes are required).
3. Purchase 2 AAA alkaline batteries if you plan to power the thermostat via batteries.

4.3. Wiring and Mounting Steps

1. Turn Off Power: IMPORTANT! Before beginning, turn off the power to your heating and cooling system at the main circuit breaker or furnace switch.
2. Remove 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 provided stickers according to its terminal.
3. Disconnect Wires: Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat terminals.
4. Mount New Base: Separate the front of the Mroinge M711 thermostat from its backplate. Mount the new backplate to the wall using the provided screws and wall anchors. Ensure it is level.
5. Connect Wires: Connect the labeled wires to the corresponding terminals on the new thermostat's backplate. Refer to the wiring diagram below.
6. Install Batteries (Optional): If using battery power, insert 2 fresh AAA alkaline batteries into the battery compartment.
7. Attach Thermostat Body: Carefully snap the front of the thermostat onto the mounted backplate.
8. Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.

5. Operating Instructions

The Mroinge M711 thermostat is designed for simple and intuitive operation.

5.1. Basic Operation

• Adjusting Temperature: Use the large UP (▲) and DOWN (▼) arrow buttons on the right side of the thermostat to set your desired temperature. The 'Set To' display will show your target temperature.
• System Mode Selection: Use the 'SYSTEM' slide switch at the bottom of the thermostat to select the operating mode:
  • COOL: Activates the cooling system.
  • OFF: Turns off both heating and cooling systems.
  • HEAT: Activates the heating system.
• Fan Operation: Use the 'FAN' slide switch at the bottom of the thermostat to control the fan:
  • ON: The fan runs continuously.
  • AUTO: The fan runs only when the heating or cooling system is actively operating.

5.2. Advanced Settings

• Temperature Calibration: The thermostat allows for calibration to match other temperature readings in your home. Refer to the full installation manual for specific steps on how to enter calibration mode and adjust the offset.
• Compressor Delay Protection: This feature is built-in to protect your HVAC compressor from short cycling. It typically imposes a 3-minute delay between cycles. This feature is selectable ON or OFF; consult the full manual for adjustment.
• Heating and Cooling Swing (Cycle Rate): The swing setting, also known as differential or anticipation, determines how far the temperature can drift from the setpoint before the system activates. A smaller swing setting results in more frequent, shorter cycles, while a larger swing setting results in fewer, longer cycles. The factory default is typically 0.4°F for both heating and cooling.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your thermostat.

6.1. Battery Replacement

If your thermostat is powered by batteries, replace them when the low battery indicator appears on the display. It is recommended to use high-quality AAA alkaline batteries.

1. Gently pull the front cover of the thermostat away from the wall plate to access the battery compartment.
2. Remove the old AAA batteries.
3. Insert two new AAA alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Snap the front cover back onto the wall plate.

6.2. Cleaning

To clean the thermostat, gently wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the unit.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Mroinge M711 thermostat, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Display / Blank Screen:
  • Check if the power to your HVAC system is on at the circuit breaker.
  • If using battery power, replace the AAA batteries with fresh ones.
  • Ensure the thermostat is securely snapped onto its wall plate.
• Heating/Cooling Not Engaging:
  • Verify the 'SYSTEM' switch is set to 'HEAT' or 'COOL' as desired.
  • Check that the set temperature is appropriately above (for heating) or below (for cooling) the current room temperature.
  • Allow for the compressor delay protection (approx. 3 minutes) if the system just turned off.
  • Confirm that your HVAC system is receiving power.
  • Review the wiring connections at the thermostat and furnace/air handler to ensure they are secure and correct (refer to Section 4.4).
• Inaccurate Temperature Reading:
  • Ensure the thermostat is not exposed to direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources (e.g., lamps, appliances) that could affect its temperature sensor.
  • Perform a temperature calibration if necessary (refer to Section 5.2 or the full manual).
• Thermostat Not Responding to Button Presses:
  • Ensure the batteries are not low or depleted.
  • Gently press the buttons to ensure proper contact.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Mroinge customer support for further assistance.
