PLEASE READ PRIOR TO INSTALLIN OUR idevies THERMOSTAT IRE ADAPTER The installation of the idevices ire Adapter and all wiring must conform to local and national electrical codes. Improper wiring or installation may cause damage to this product, your, your HVA system, or your home, and could result in personal injury. The idevices ire Adapter is intended to share two signals over one wire, so that you can add a wire to a system that doesn t currently have one. our system will need at least 3 physical wires between the HVA control board and the, as well as an accessible 2 /ommon terminal on the HVA control board or transformer to connect to. The ire Adapter can also be used to add a wire other than. This can be helpful if, for example, you wish to add air conditioning to a heat only system, fix a broken wire that is inaccessible, or upgrade a one stage furnace to a two-stage furnace. e recommend you contact an HVA professional to discuss these options. ETTIN STARTED The idevices ire Adapter should be installed in or near the HVA system control board or furnace, or another dry, indoor location. Find a location with easy access to the wires that run between the HVA unit and the If needed, you can use two #8 screws (not included) to mount the wire adapter to a convenient surface. 2.05 3.30 ire Adapter idth: 3.30 Height: 2.05 Depth: 0.98 Mounting Hole idth: 0.17 Height: 0.62 Separate the front cover from the wire adapter by squeezing the four tabs (two on either side) 3
