TYPICAL 4-WIRE SINGLE STAGE  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
SYSTEM MODE SWITCH:  
The MODE switch has three positions: HEAT, OFF, and COOL. In the  
winter, set the mode switch to HEAT to control your heating system; in the  
summer, set the switch to COOL to control your air conditioning. In the  
spring and fall, or when the windows are open, you can set the switch OFF.  
When the switch is in the HEAT position, the word "HEAT" will be displayed  
next to the temperature. When the switch is in the COOL position, the word  
"COOL" will be displayed next to the temperature. Either of these indicators  
will be flashing if the system is currently running, or on steady if the system  
is not currently running.  
1. Switch OFF the electricity to

Thank you for your confidence in our product. To obtain the best results  
from your investment, please read these instructions carefully and  
thoroughly. You should become fully acquainted with this thermostat before  
installing it for usage. Follow the installation procedures carefully, and one  
step at a time. This will save you time and minimize the chance of  
damaging either the thermostat or the systems that it controls. These  
instructions may contain information beyond that required for your particular  
installation. Please save these instructions for future reference.  
PUSH BUTTONS:  
There are three push buttons below the unit's display screen. These are  
used to: adjust the set point temperature, modify the values for user  
changeable options, and to select the “SAVE” feature.

The DMH110 can be used with most single-stage 24 volt gas, oil, or electric  
heating and air conditioning systems, single stage heat pumps, or gas  
Millivolt heating systems. It cannot be used with 3 wire zone valves, 120 volt  
heating systems, or multi-stage heat pumps. Ask your dealer for other LUX  
thermostats to control those systems.  
NOTE: If you are mounting the bas e to

8. Install two (2) Energizer® or DURACELL® "AA" size Alkaline Batteries  
at this time. **For instructions on installing the batteries, see the  
"BATTERIES AND MAINTENANCE" section.  
9. Install your DMH110 thermostat onto its base. To do this, line up  
the tabs on all four corners and gently push the unit straight onto the  
base. Do not use unnecessary force if the body does not snap into  
place easily. Remove the body, line it back up and try again.  
10.Turn the electrical power back ON to both your heating and/or air  
conditioning systems.  
11.Verify that both systems (and the blower fan) are operating properly.  
When set to a high temperature, the heating system should provide  
warm air after a short time in Heat Mode. Likewise, a cooling system  
should provide cool air after a short time when set to a low  
temperature in Cool Mode. Usually, sound from the furnace and air  
conditioning units can be heard while either of them is running. The  
rush of moving air should be heard within a short time after either has  
been started.

1 Year Warranty  
If the ambient temperature displayed on the LCD screen does not exactly  
match a nearby thermometer, or perhaps another thermostat in the home,  
the user has the ability to adjust or shift the displayed temperature. The  
displayed temperature can be altered by up to 5°F (or 3°C) in either  
direction. This adjustment is performed by first placing the System Mode  
switch to the OFF position, then by pressing and holding both the UP and  
DOWN buttons together for at least two (2) seconds, the screen will display  
the word SET, and the default selection of zero (0). Press either the UP or  
DOWN buttons for the associated direction of change. Note: If no buttons  
are pressed within four (4) seconds, the thermostat will return back to normal  
run mode.

The DMH110 thermostat does not require batteries to operate your  
heating and cooling systems, however if you are planning on using only  
system power to run your thermostat, we do strongly recommend the use of  
good quality alkaline batteries in addition to the system power source.  
Replace the batteries when the “LO BAT” indicator appears in the display, or

J UMPER SETTINGS  
The diagrams below are provided for new ins tallations

This thermostat should be limited to a maximum of 1.5 amps; higher  
There are four (4) headers (or jumpers) located inside the thermostat at  
the rear of the circuit board. These settings can be changed from their  
default values by removing its corresponding black jumper cap and  
reinstalling the cap so that it is positioned on only one (1) of the metal  
pins, and not both. A change to ANY of the jumper settings will not be  
recognized by the thermostat until a HARDWARE RESET is performed.  
An OPEN jumper means the cap is only on one (1) metal pin, and a  
CLOSED jumper means the cap is on both of the metal pins. Each of  
these jumpers changes a different option, the choices for these options  
are listed in a table printed on the circuit board.

is controlled by the thermostat in HEAT mode. Choose ELECTRIC if  
you have electric heating, and require the thermostat to control the fan.  
Choose GAS if you have a gas heating system, this will allow the  
furnace itself to control the operation of the blower fan.  
Wires must be labeled by their terminal letters before they are removed.  
Do not allow wires to touch each other or parts on thermostat.
