Installation Steps

1. Install the sub-base on the wall, ensuring proper alignment and mounting.
2. Provide power by connecting the thermostat to a 24V AC source or 2 AA alkaline batteries.
3. Connect the wires to the appropriate terminals, following the manual’s wiring diagram.
4. Attach the thermostat to the sub-base securely, ensuring all clips are fastened.

Step 1: Installing the Sub-Base

Begin by carefully removing the sub-base from the thermostat body. Mount the sub-base on the wall at the desired location, ensuring it is level and properly aligned. Use a pencil to mark the screw holes on the wall. Drill pilot holes using a 3/16-inch drill bit to avoid damaging the wall. If the wall is not drywall, install drywall anchors before screwing the sub-base into place. Tighten the screws firmly to secure the sub-base. Ensure all wires are neatly organized and within reach of the sub-base terminals. Refer to the wiring diagram in the manual for proper wire placement. Once the sub-base is installed, proceed to the next step of providing power to the system. This step is crucial for ensuring a stable and reliable connection for your Braeburn 5220 thermostat.

Step 2: Providing Power

Before connecting any wires, ensure the power to your HVAC system is turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box. The Braeburn 5220 thermostat requires a 24 Volt AC power supply or can be powered using two AA alkaline batteries. If using hardwired power, locate the 24V AC transformer, typically found near your HVAC system. Connect the appropriate wires to the sub-base terminals, following the wiring diagram in the manual. If you prefer battery power, insert the AA alkaline batteries into the thermostat, ensuring the polarity is correct. This step is critical for ensuring your thermostat operates reliably. Always follow safety precautions to avoid electrical hazards. Once power is provided, you can proceed to connect the wires in the next step. Proper power installation ensures your thermostat functions correctly and maintains consistent temperature control.

Step 3: Connecting the Wires

With the sub-base installed and power provided, the next step is to connect the wires to the thermostat. Begin by turning off the power to your HVAC system at the circuit breaker to ensure safety. Locate the wires coming from your heating and cooling system and match them to the corresponding terminals on the sub-base. Use a screwdriver to securely fasten each wire to the correct terminal, following the wiring diagram provided in the manual. Gently insert each wire into its designated terminal, ensuring no wires are forced or bent excessively. Double-check each connection to confirm they are secure and correctly matched. If you encounter any uncertainty, refer to the wiring diagram or consult a professional. Proper wire connections are essential for the thermostat to function correctly. Once all wires are connected, proceed to the next step of attaching the thermostat to the sub-base. This step requires patience and attention to detail to ensure reliable operation of your Braeburn 5220 thermostat.

Step 4: Attaching the Thermostat to the Sub-Base

Once the sub-base is properly installed and all wires are connected, the final step is to attach the thermostat to the sub-base. Carefully remove the thermostat from its packaging and ensure the alignment tabs on the back of the thermostat align with the corresponding slots on the sub-base. Gently push the thermostat onto the sub-base, ensuring it clicks securely into place. Use the provided screws to tighten the thermostat to the sub-base for added stability. After attaching, verify that the thermostat’s display lights up and functions correctly. If the display does not activate, check the wiring connections and ensure the power source is correctly provided. Additionally, insert the AA alkaline batteries into the thermostat’s battery compartment if you are using battery power. Once the thermostat is securely attached and powered on, you can proceed to configure the settings according to your preferences. Proper alignment and secure attachment are crucial for the thermostat to function accurately and maintain reliable performance.
