# Thermostat Wall Mounting

> Installation guide for Airform Thermostat. 

<Tip>
  Note: The Airform Thermostat should be installed after the Indoor Unit(s) and Outdoor Unit(s) have been installed and tested for heating and cooling operation.
</Tip>

## Parts You Will Need

For wall mounting:

* Screw Driver
* Drill & Drill Bit
* Level
* Pencil

### Prepare The Wall Mounting Location

* Before mounting the wall mount bracket, find a suitable location on the wall for the Thermostat.

<Tip>
  Look for a location where the temperature is most representative of the ambient room temperature and has no hazards within the wall.
</Tip>

* Decide how you will mount the wall bracket to the wall:
* Install A: Screws with wall anchors (recommended)
* Install B: Adhesive (provided in-box. Adhesive should only be used
  for painted drywall, glass, and metal.)
* Using a level, pencil a small horizontal line on the wall where you intend to place the Thermostat. We recommend mounting the Thermostat anywhere from 3 to 5 feet from the floor.

<Tip>
  If installing near a light switch, center the Thermostat with the light switch, and place it about 1.5-2.5 inches away from the switch for a cohesive look.
</Tip>

Follow the instructions below on the following pages based on your chosen wall mounting:

### Install A: Screw-Mount to Wall with Pre-Installed In-Wall Wiring

* At the center of your horizontal pencil line, using a ½ in. drill bit, drill a hole into the hollow of the wall.
* If you are not installing directly into a stud, line up the wall mount to the horizontal line, and mark the screw locations using the provided wall mount. Use a ⅛ in. drill bit to drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Now push the drywall anchors into the holes.
* Using suitable in-wall wiring, fish the power wire from your intended power source location and through the ½ in. hole you drilled. Fasten the wires with tape to prevent them from falling back into the wall.
* Pull the wires through the large center hole in the Thermostat wall mount, so that the flat side of the wall mount is positioned against the wall.
* Use the horizontal line indicators on the wall mount to align it to your horizontal pencil line; mark the locations of the screw holes on your wall. Ensure that the Airform logo is right side up.
