2.2 Subbase Installation

Proper installation of the subbase is crucial for the correct functioning of your Pro1 IAQ T701 thermostat. The subbase serves as the foundation for the thermostat and houses the wiring connections. Follow these steps carefully to ensure a secure and accurate installation.

Tools and Materials Needed

• Drill and drill bits
• Wall anchors (if required)
• Screwdriver (Phillips or flathead)
• Level tool
• Pencil and marker
• Subbase unit

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Choose the Installation Location: Select a wall location approximately 52 inches from the floor, which is the standard height for thermostat installation. Ensure the location is away from direct sunlight, drafts, and extreme temperatures to ensure accurate temperature readings.
2. Mark the Wall: Use the subbase as a template to mark the screw holes on the wall. Hold the subbase against the wall and trace the mounting holes with a pencil. For added accuracy, use a level tool to ensure the subbase is straight.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill bit slightly smaller than the wall anchors, create pilot holes at the marked locations. If you’re installing in drywall or a plaster wall, consider using wall anchors to prevent the screws from loosening over time.
4. Mount the Subbase: Align the subbase with the pilot holes and secure it to the wall using the provided screws. Tighten the screws firmly, but avoid overtightening, which could damage the subbase or the wall.
5. Level the Subbase: Double-check the subbase with a level tool to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. If necessary, adjust the screws to achieve proper alignment.
6. Connect the Wires: Refer to the wiring diagram in the manual or on the subbase to connect the wires correctly. Ensure all connections are secure and match the appropriate terminals (e.g., R, W, Y, G, C). For detailed wiring instructions, consult Section 2.3 of this manual.
7. Final Check: Once the subbase is installed and the wires are connected, turn the power to the HVAC system back on. Verify that the system responds correctly to the thermostat’s commands before proceeding with the thermostat installation.

Additional Tips

• For Brick or Concrete Walls: Use masonry bits to drill pilot holes and consider using masonry anchors for added stability.
• For Uneven Walls: If the wall surface is uneven, use shims or spacers to ensure the subbase is level and secure.
• Painting or Decorating: If you plan to paint or decorate the wall after installation, remove the subbase and thermostat beforehand to avoid damage.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter any issues during the subbase installation, refer to the following solutions:

• Loose Subbase: Check the screws and tighten them if necessary. If the problem persists, ensure the wall anchors are properly seated.
• Wires Not Reaching: Verify that the wires are long enough to connect to the subbase terminals. If necessary, consult a professional for assistance.
• Damaged Subbase: Inspect the subbase for any signs of damage. If damaged, contact Pro1 IAQ for a replacement.

By following these steps and tips, you can ensure a secure and accurate installation of the subbase for your Pro1 IAQ T701 thermostat. If you encounter any difficulties or have questions, visit the Pro1 IAQ website at www.pro1iaq.com or contact their customer support team for assistance.

2.3 Wiring the Thermostat

Wiring the Pro1 IAQ T701 thermostat is a critical step in its installation. Proper wiring ensures that the thermostat communicates effectively with your HVAC system, allowing it to regulate heating and cooling accurately. Before proceeding, ensure the power to your HVAC system is turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box to avoid any electrical hazards.

Understanding the Terminal Designations

The Pro1 IAQ T701 thermostat uses a standard wiring configuration, with terminals labeled as follows:

• R ⎻ 24V AC power from the transformer (usually marked as Rh or Rc depending on the system)
• W ⎻ Heating stage (for heating systems)
• Y ⎼ Cooling stage (for air conditioning systems)
• G ⎼ Fan (controls the blower fan)
• C ⎼ Common (required for proper thermostat operation)

Refer to your HVAC system’s wiring diagram or manual to confirm the correct terminal connections.

Step-by-Step Wiring Instructions

1. Turn Off Power: Verify that the power to the HVAC system is off using a voltage tester. This ensures your safety while working with electrical wires.



2. Remove Old Thermostat (if applicable): If you’re replacing an existing thermostat, carefully remove it from the wall and disconnect the wires from the old subbase. Label the wires with their corresponding terminal designations (R, W, Y, G, C) to avoid confusion during reconnection.
3. Connect Wires to the Subbase:
   1. Locate the terminal screws on the subbase and match the wires to their corresponding terminals based on your system’s configuration.
   2. Strip the insulation from the ends of the wires (if necessary) and insert them into the correct terminal slots.
   3. Tighten the terminal screws securely to ensure a good connection. Avoid over-tightening, as this could damage the terminals.
4. Mount the Thermostat: Once the wires are connected to the subbase, mount the thermostat onto the subbase by aligning the tabs on the thermostat with the slots on the subbase. Gently push the thermostat onto the subbase until it clicks into place.



5. Restore Power: Turn the power to the HVAC system back on at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
6. Test the System: Set the thermostat to a temperature above or below the current room temperature to test both heating and cooling modes. Ensure the fan switch is set to “Auto” or “On” to verify proper fan operation.

Common Wiring Mistakes to Avoid

• Incorrect Terminal Connections: Double-check the wiring diagram to ensure wires are connected to the correct terminals. Misconnecting wires can lead to improper system operation or damage to the thermostat.
• Loose Connections: Ensure all terminal screws are tightened securely to prevent intermittent operation or complete system failure.
• Forgetting the Common (C) Wire: The C terminal is essential for the thermostat’s operation. If your system requires a common wire, ensure it is properly connected to avoid power issues.
• Not Labeling Wires: If you’re replacing an old thermostat, label the wires before disconnecting them to simplify the reconnection process.

Troubleshooting Wiring Issues

If the thermostat does not power on or the HVAC system does not respond, check the following:

• Power Supply: Ensure the power to the HVAC system is on and that the circuit breaker or fuse has not tripped.
• Wiring Connections: Verify that all wires are securely connected to the correct terminals on both the subbase and the HVAC system.
• Battery Installation: If your thermostat is battery-powered, check that the batteries are installed correctly and that the battery compartment is closed properly.
