Installation
Warning: Disconnect power before beginning installation.
Thermostat Location
Install the thermostat approximately 5 feet (1.5m) above the floor in an area that has a good amount of air circulation and maintains an average room temperature. Avoid installation in locations where the thermostat can be affected by drafts, dead air spots, hot or cold air ducts, sunlight, appliances, concealed
pipes, chimneys, and outside walls.
Install your new Braeburn thermostat in 5 basic steps:
- Install the Sub-Base
- Provide Power
- Connect Your Wires
- Set Installer Switches
- Attach Thermostat to Sub-Base
Install the Sub-Base:
- Remove the sub-base from the body of the thermostat.
- Mount the sub-base as shown below:
NOTE: After sub-base installation, you may insert the quick reference card into the slot on the top of the base.
Provide Power
- For 24 Volt AC power, you must connect the common side of the transformer to the C terminal on the thermostat sub-base.
- For primary or backup power, insert the 2 supplied “AA” type alkaline batteries into the battery compartment located in the rear housing of the thermostat. Make sure to position the Positive (+) and Negative (-) sides of the batteries correctly with the +/- symbols in the battery compartment.

System Testing
Warning Read Before Testing
- Do not short (or jumper) across terminals on the gas valve or at the heating or cooling system control board to test the thermostat installation. This could damage the thermostat and void the warranty.
- Do not select the COOL mode of operation if the outside temperature is below 50º F (10º C). This could possibly damage the controlled cooling system and may cause personal injury.
- This thermostat includes an automatic compressor protection feature to avoid potential damage to the compressor from short cycling. When testing the system, make sure to take this delay into account.
NOTE: The compressor delay can be bypassed by pressing the reset button on the front of the thermostat. All user settings will be returned to factory default.
- Move the SYSTEM switch to HEAT mode.
- Press ∧ to raise the set temperature a minimum of 3 degrees above the current room temperature. The system should start within a few seconds. With a gas heating systemhttps://manualslibraryy.com/intertek-heat-pure-1500-infrared-heating-system-user-manual/, the fan may not start right away.
- Move the SYSTEM switch to the OFF mode. Allow them to fully shut down.
- Move the SYSTEM switch to the COOL mode.
- Press ∨ to lower the set temperature a minimum of 3 degrees below the current room temperature. The system should start within a few seconds (unless compressor short cycle protection is active – See note above).
- Move the SYSTEM switch to the OFF mode. Allow the cooling system to fully shut down.
- Move the FAN switch to the ON mode. The system fan should start within a few seconds.
- Move the FAN switch to the AUTO mode. Allow the system fan to turn off.
NOTE: Installer switches are located on the back of the thermostat. The reset button must be pressed after making any changes to these switches.

Detailed Explanation of User Options:
Temperature Differential (User Options 1 and 2)
The differential setting is the temperature control range that your thermostat will provide. The smaller the setting, the tighter your range of temperature control and comfort will be. The 2nd stage differential is only for system with a second stage of heating (auxiliary heat).
Extended Hold Period (User Option 3)
The Extended Hold Period lets you select the period your thermostat will hold the temperature when the HOLD mode is activated (See “Temperature Adjustment”). When LNG is selected the thermostat will hold your temperature indefinitely. When 24HR is selected, the thermostat will hold your temperature for 24 hours and then return to the current program at that time.
Service Filter Monitor (User Option 4)
The Service Filter Monitor is a user-selectable service monitor that will display a reminder for a required air filter replacement by flashing the SERVICE FILTER segment in the display. When the selected interval has been reached, and required cleaning or replacement has been performed, touch the RETURN button to reset the timer and reset the service monitor. Select OFF or a set number of days before the reminder will appear.
Adaptive Recovery Mode (early recovery) (User Option 5)
During Adaptive Recovery Mode (ARM™), room temperature is recovered gradually by turning on the heating or cooling before the end of the set back period. The set point temperature is changed to that of the upcoming program temperature.

Thermostat Maintenance
Changing the Batteries
Depending on your particular installation, this thermostat may be equipped with two (2) “AA” type alkaline batteries. If batteries are installed and they become low, a low battery indicator will appear in the display. You should change your batteries immediately when you see the low battery signal by following these instructions.
- Remove the thermostat body by gently pulling it from the base.
- Remove old batteries and replace them with new batteries.
- Make sure to correctly position the (+) and (-) symbols.
- Gently push the thermostat body back onto the base.
NOTE: We recommend replacing the thermostat batteries annually or if the thermostat will be unattended for an extended period of time.

Braeburn 2020 Universal Thermostat-FAQs
Can a Braeburn thermostat operate without batteries?
Some Braeburn thermostats require two “AA” alkaline batteries, while newer models can be powered by batteries, hardwiring, or both. Refer to your user manual for specific details.
What is the purpose of the hold button on a Braeburn thermostat?
The hold button enables extended hold, clears an extended hold, or cancels a temporary override.
How can I adjust the temperature on my thermostat?
Use the up and down buttons or a dial to set your desired temperature. For programmable models, enter the programming mode and follow the instructions to set schedules.
What modes are available on the Braeburn thermostat?
The thermostat has five modes: AUTO, COOL, OFF, HEAT, and EMER (emergency heat). You can select these by pressing the system button.
How do I change the thermostat mode?
Turn the dial to highlight “Mode,” then press the thermostat toward the wall to select it. Use the dial to choose your preferred mode and temperature setting.
How can I tell if my thermostat battery is low?
The thermostat provides warnings before the batteries are completely drained. If the screen goes blank, it indicates the batteries have run out of power.
What voltage does the Braeburn thermostat require?
The thermostat requires 24-volt AC power or two “AA” alkaline batteries for proper operation. Batteries can also serve as a backup when using AC power.
Will my thermostat work during a power outage?
Without electricity, your thermostat won’t function, leaving your home vulnerable to extreme temperatures in winter or summer.
What’s the difference between the “Run” and “Hold” functions?
The “Run” function follows preset temperature schedules, saving energy when you’re away. The “Hold” function temporarily overrides the preset schedule, allowing you to adjust the room temperature manually.
