How to install a double pole wall mount thermostat.

You should be able to bypass the unit thermostat and utilize the wall mounted thermostat only. In my experience the wall mounted unit will control the temperature if placed in the appropriate location. Two of these are live wires and two are load wires. Since you are working with a double pole thermostat there should be four wires.

Using a wire connector connect the hot supply wire to the thermostat wires. Stop the next steps will differ depending on which thermostat you are installing for single pole thermostats. For one thermostats situated in the lower 6 inches of a room are not accurately measuring temperature since cold air sinks. Make sure to connect the ground to the thermostat or wiring box if available.

Then remove the thermostat from the wall. While this type of installation is easiest since it does not involve opening up walls it is considered to be inferior to installing the thermostat on the wall. Typically this is marked l1 or line step 8.
