Caution
Tools
To avoid electrical shock and to prevent damage to the furnace, air conditioner,
and thermostat, disconnect the power supply before beginning work.
This can be done at the circuit breaker, or at the appliance.
You will need #1 Phillips screwdriver (small) and
Drill with 3/16-in. (4.8mm) bit for this installation.

Install guide GT5020
On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in place of the
old one if possible.
On new installations, follow the guidelines listed below.
Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the
floor, and in a room that is used often.
Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as: in
direct sunlight; near a lamp, radio, television, radiator register, or
fireplace; near hot water pipes in a wall; near a stove on the other side
of a wall.
C A U T I O N
Your thermostat is a precise instrument.
Please handle it with care.
Turn off electricity to the appliance before installing or
servicing thermostat or any part of the system. Do not
turn electricity back on until work is completed.
Do not short (jumper) across electric terminals at
control on furnace or air conditioner to test the system.
This will damage the thermostat and void your warranty.
All wiring must conform to local codes and ordinances.
This thermostat is designed for use with 24 volt AC and
millivolt systems.The thermostat should be limited to a
maximum of 1.0 amps; higher amperage may cause
damage to the thermostat.
This thermostat does not require leveling.
Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as: on a wall separating
an unheated room; or in a draft from a stairwell, door, or window.
Do not locate in a damp area.This can lead to corrosion that will shorten
thermostat life.
Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as: in a corner or an
alcove; or behind an open door.
Do not install the unit until all construction work and painting has been
completed.

2 Remove old unit
IMPORTANT : LABEL ALL WIRES
BEFORE DISCONNECTINGTHEM!
Switch electricity to the furnace and
air conditioner OFF;
then proceed with the following steps.
Remove cover from old thermostat.Most are snap-on types
and simply pull off. Some have locking screws on the side
or front.These must be loosened. Note the letters printed
near the terminals. Attach labels (enclosed) to each wire for
identification.
Label the wires one at a time. You must have all the wires labeled
before you proceed. With all wires labeled, remove them from the old unit.
Make sure the wires do not fall back inside the wall.
Wind them around a
pencil to keep them from falling.
Loosen all screws on the old thermostat and remove it from the wall.
Fill wall opening with non-combustible insulation to prevent drafts. PG 3

Caution
Read instructions carefully before removing any wiring from existing thermostat.
Wires must be labeled before they are removed.THERE IS NO STANDARD
COLOR CODE. When removing wires from their terminals, ignore the color of the
wires since these may not match the letter.
3 Mount the GT5020
Separate front from back of unit. Press up on the
catch on bottom of thermostat and swing the body
away from the base, lift up to remove the body from
the base.
Hold the base against the wall, with the wires
coming through the opening below the terminal block.
Position the base for best appearance.
Attach the base to the wall with the two
screws provided.
If you are mounting the base to sheet rock
or if you are using the old mounting holes,
use the plastic anchors provided.Drill a
3/16-in.(4.8mm) hole for the insert at each
screw location, then mount the base.

4 Gas-Electric Selection
REFER to the back of the Control Unit
If you have Electric Heat or a Heat Pump you must place the Gas/Electric jumper in the ELECT
position (thermostat controls the Fan).
If you have Gas Heat the Gas/Electric Jumper should be in the GAS position (furnace controls
the Fan).
I
f your heat pump has auxiliary
heat, select the DIFFERENTIAL
jumper. This controls how often
your auxiliary heat will come on.
'2' is most comfort (cold climates)
'4' is most efficient (warm climates)
The unit must be reset when a
jumper is changed.

6 Install Batteries
The GT5020 requires batteries to operate your system
and retain its programming in memory.
.
Switch MODE switch to OFF and the FAN switch to
AUTO.
.
Insert 2 AAalkaline batteries according to the
polarity noted in the compartment.
.
Press the RESET button to clear the transient
program memory. Initially, LCD display will go off.
NOTE: Replace the batteries when this LOW battery indicator appears on the display or once a year.
With batteries removed, you have approximately 30sec before your custom programming is lost.
7 Power Options
PG 6
Please be aware of the following power options
1) The GT5020 can run on batteries only. (2AAAlkaline)
The batteries will last well over 1 year. If the batteries are not replaced the thermostat
will stop working.
2) The GT5020 can run on the C wire if available. (24 VAC ONLY)
As shown in the wiring diagrams, The C wire is the other side of the 24VAC heating transformer. If the
C wire is used, the batteries are for AC power loss only and are not required.

Please refer back to these guidelines for safe and secure wire connections.
.
Take care not to damage the labels for each wire in handling.
.
Strip insulation 3/8 in. (9.5mm) from wire ends.
.
Connect labeled wires only to a terminal with corresponding letter.
.
Bend the wire slightly, insert the wire under the contact plate and tighten
the screw down onto the wire.
The Wire chart shows wire labels used on
Gemtech thermostats. Please determine what
wires you have and select the correct wiring
diagram to "go to" on pages 9.
Before you Connect Wires
What Wires Do You Have?
8 Wire Connections
Make sure your wires are labeled. This is necessary to determine which step-by-step wiring
diagram you should use. This may require you to find the 'other end' connection for each wire on
your heating or air conditioning equipment and read the label there.
If you have a Zoned Heating/Cooling system with multiple thermostats, please refer to our website
at www.Gemtech-thermostats.com for installation notes.
Caution
Do not allow
wires to touch
each other or parts on unit.
Wires must be routed through
the hole in the back plate, below
the terminal block, or they will
hit parts on the cover.
PG 8
The Wire Chart below will help you determine the terminal connections you will use
on your new thermostat. See chart section that applies to your heat/cool system.
