Installation and Wiring
Removing the old thermostat
- Turn power OFF.
- To protect yourself and your equipment, turn off the power at the breaker box or switch that controls your heating/cooling system. Note that some systems may have separate heating and cooling breakers.
- To protect yourself and your equipment, turn off the power at the breaker box or switch that controls your heating/cooling system. Note that some systems may have separate heating and cooling breakers.
- Check that your system is off.
- Change the temperature on your old thermostat to be above room temperature in heat mode or below it in cool mode. If you don’t hear the system turn on within 5 minutes, the power is off. Note: If you have a digital thermostat that has a blank display, skip this step

- Remove the old thermostat’s faceplate.
- On most thermostats, you can take off the faceplate by grasping and gently pulling. Some thermostats may have screws, buttons, or clasps. Do not remove any wires from your thermostat at this time!

- Make sure there are no 120/240V wires.
- Do you have thick black wires with wire nuts?
- Is your thermostat 120V or higher?
- If you answered yes to either of these questions, you have a line voltage system and the thermostat will not work.
- Take a picture of how your wiring looks right now.
- Be sure to include the letters next to the terminals where the wires are inserted. This will be a helpful reference when wiring your thermostat.
- Tip: If the color of your wires has faded or if 2 terminals have the same wire color, use the wire labels provided in the package to label each wire.
- Be sure to include the letters next to the terminals where the wires are inserted. This will be a helpful reference when wiring your thermostat.
- Make note of any jumpers
- A jumper connects one terminal to another terminal. It may look like a small staple or even a colored wire.
- A jumper connects one terminal to another terminal. It may look like a small staple or even a colored wire.
- Record whether you have wires in the following terminals. Do not include jumpers as a part of your count. This thermostat does not need jumpers.
- Write down the color of the wires.
- Check mark the wires that are connected to terminals. Next to the check mark, write down the color of the wire. Do not include jumpers as a part of your count.
- Check all that apply (Not all will apply):
- Important: The X1N is for single-stage systems only. If unsupported wires are used, the thermostat will not operate the equipment as intended.

- Disconnect the wires and remove the old wall plate.
- Use a screwdriver to release wires from terminals. Then, use a wire label to identify each wire as it’s disconnected. The letter on the wire label should match the letter on the terminal.
- Tip: To prevent wires from falling back into the wall, wrap the wires around a pencil.

INSTALLATION
Installing Your X1N Thermostat
- Bundle and insert wires through the UWP.
- Pull open the UWP and insert the bundle of wires through the back of the UWP. Make sure at least 1/4-inch of each wire is exposed for easy insertion into the wire terminals.
- Pull open the UWP and insert the bundle of wires through the back of the UWP. Make sure at least 1/4-inch of each wire is exposed for easy insertion into the wire terminals.
- Insert the wall anchors.
- It is recommended that you use the wall anchors included in the box to mount your thermostat. You can use the UWP to mark where you want to place the wall anchors.
- a) Level the wall plate.
- b) Mark the location of the wall anchors using a pencil.
- c) Using a 3/16” bit, drill the holes.
- d) Insert wall anchors.
- e) Make sure anchors are flush with wall.
- It is recommended that you use the wall anchors included in the box to mount your thermostat. You can use the UWP to mark where you want to place the wall anchors.
- Set R-switch position and insert R-wire or wires.
- Set the R-switch up or down based on your wiring notes in Step 7 in Removing the old thermostat.
- Set the R-switch up or down based on your wiring notes in Step 7 in Removing the old thermostat.
Insert wires into the inner holes of the terminals on the UWP. The tabs will stay down once the wire is inserted. Various wiring options are shown on the following pages
If you have 1 R-wire (R,Rh, or Rc)
If you have 2 R-wires (R or Rh, and Rc)
Wiring
If labels do not match terminals, connect wires as shown below.
Conventional Systems
Alternate wiring (for conventional systems)
WIRING NOTES:
- If you must connect both R and Rc wires, set the R Slider Tab to the down position (2 wires).
- If your old thermostat had both R and RH wires, set the R Slider Tab to the down position (2 wires). Then connect the R wire to the Rc terminal, and the RH wire to the R terminal.
- If your old thermostat had only 1 C or C1 wire, connect it to the C terminal. If your old thermostat had 2 C or C1 wires, wrap each separately with electrical tape and do not connect them.
- C does not power the thermostat display or operations; batteries are always required.
Heat Pumps
Alternate wiring (for heat pump systems only)
WIRING NOTES:
- Keep R Slider Tab in the up position (1 wire).
- If your old thermostat had both V and VR wires, stop now and contact a qualified contractor for help.
- If your old thermostat had separate O and B wires, attach the B wire to the C terminal. If another wire is attached to the C terminal, stop now and contact a qualified contractor for help.
- If the O/B connection is used the thermostat will not support W, Aux/W2 or E wires.
- C does not power the thermostat display or operations; batteries are always required.
- This model does not support the heat pump fault alert (L/A terminal). If this is desired, please contact a contractor for a replacement model.
- Connect wires to the UWP.
- Refer to the notes you recorded on the chart during removal. Depress the tabs to put the wires into the inner holes of their corresponding terminals on the UWP (one wire per terminal) until it is firmly in place.

Built-in Compressor Protection
Damage can occur if your system’s compressor is restarted too soon after shutdown. This feature forces the compressor to wait for a few minutes before restarting. During the wait time, the display will show the message Waiting For Equipment under the room temperature reading. When the safe wait time has elapsed, the message disappears, and the thermostat will show “Heat on” or “Cool on”.

icon will appear in the lower part of the display. Pressing the lower left button, then the upper right button will show the alert # over the temperature reading.
- When the filter Reminder is active the
icon appears as well as Replace Filter.
Troubleshooting
Display is blank | • Make sure fresh AA alkaline batteries are correctly installed (see Step 7 of the section Installing the Thermostat) |
Heating or cooling does not run | • When running heat, display will show HEAT ON in lower right of display
• When running cool, display will show COOL ON in lower right of display • If display shows WAITING FOR EQUIPMENT under temperature reading, it is in compressor delay mode to protect the system. Wait 5 minutes to see if the thermostat makes a Heat or Cool call • If display does not indicate a call for Heat or Cool or WAITING FOR EQUIPMENT, verify the mode setting, temperature setpoint and room temperature If the Up or Down arrow is pressed • Upper left of display shows mode setting • Upper right shows setpoint • Center of display shows room temperature If the issue persists • Check circuit breaker and reset if necessary • Make sure power switch at heating & cooling system is on • Make sure furnace door is closed securely |
Heat runs with Cooling | • Verify there is not a wire attached to W for heat pump systems. See Wiring section
• For heat pump applications the reversing valve is energized in Heat on some heat pumps and Cool for other heat pumps. Verify that ISU 2060 is set correctly • Verify that no wires are shorted. Look for exposed sections of wire at the UWP |
Heat runs with no call for heat or cooling | • Verify display does not indicate HEAT ON or COOL ON

FAQs
- Q: Can the X1N thermostat be used with multi-stage HVAC systems?
- A: No, the X1N thermostat is designed for single-stage systems only. Using it with unsupported wires may result in improper equipment operation.
- Q: What should I do if I have thick black wires with wire nuts?
- A: If you have thick black wires with wire nuts, you likely have a line voltage system, which is not compatible with the X1N thermostat. Please consult a professional for further assistance.
