Installing Equipment Interface Module (if used)

EIM4010 is the new EIM that is being developed for ElitePRO S1000, S1100, and S1200 Thermostats.

The previous THM04R3000 EIM with Firmware rev. 1.1.4.0 or later (higher number) can work with ElitePRO S1000, S1100, and S1200 Thermostats. See the RedLINK product compatibility FAQ section for further details.

  1. Mount the EIM near the HVAC equipment or on the equipment itself. Use screws and anchors as appropriate for the mounting surface.

    If multiple EIMs are used, it is recommended to mount them at least 2 feet apart to prevent interference.

  2. To wire the EIM, strip 1/4” insulation, then insert wires (For wiring diagrams, see EIM Wiring Diagrams)
    Use 18- to 22 gauge thermostat wire.

EIM Wiring Diagrams

Typical wiring of a conventional system with up to 3 stage Heat and 2 stage Cool with one transformer

Remove jumper(s) if using separate transformers.

NOTE: See following pages for additional thermostat wiring guidelines for other system types, sensor wiring, IAQ Control, and other dry contact wiring options.


Wiring a third cool stage with EIM

Any set of U terminals (U1, U2, U3) can be assigned to control stage 3. Jumper the other U from that set to Rc as shown.


Typical wiring of a heat pump system with up to four-stage Heat and two-stage Cool with one transformer

Remove jumper(s) if using separate transformers.

The changeover valve will be labeled O if energized in cool or B if energized in heat.

The Auxiliary heat stage(s) are labeled differently on different heat pump air handlers. Most heat pumps applications only have one stage of auxiliary heat.

NOTE: See following pages for additional thermostat wiring guidelines for other system types, sensor wiring, IAQ Control, and other dry contact wiring options.


Typical wiring of a Dual Fuel heat pump system with 1 or 2-stage furnace and 1 or 2-stage heat pump

Remove jumper(s) if using separate transformers.

The changeover valve will be labeled O if energized in cool or B if energized in heat.

If using a hot water relay panel, the wires shown going to the boiler would instead wire to R and W on one of the zones of the panel.

NOTE: See following pages for additional thermostat wiring guidelines for other system types, sensor wiring, IAQ Control, and other dry contact wiring options.


Typical wiring of a heat pump system with a zone valve for Backup Heat

Remove jumper since the valve is powered by a separate transformer than the heat pump.

The changeover valve will be labeled O if energized in cool or B if energized in heat.

The wires that power the valve are shown on the left side of the valve. The end-switch wires from the valves go to the boiler.

NOTE: See following pages for additional thermostat wiring guidelines for other system types, sensor wiring, IAQ Control, and other dry contact wiring options.

Any combination of relays (U1, U2, U3) can be used. They are set in the thermostat Installer Setup.

Wire the U relay to the low speed fan for dehumidification control at the equipment. The EIM relay can be set to normally open or normally closed in the thermostat Installer Setup.

An optional 50027910-001 Air-Flow switch (AFS) is recommended to ensure air-flow when the humidifier is running. If the AFS is used, set dip switch 1 to Off (Left). The ElitePRO™ Series Thermostats can be configured to only run the humidifier with a call for heat or fan, so the AFS would only be needed to ensure no water flow through the humidifier pad if there is a fan failure. The ElitePRO™ Series Thermostats can alternately be configured for a fan failure alert (ISU 6000, 6150 and 6160).


Linking the ElitePRO™ Series Thermostat to an EIM

  1. When the ElitePRO S1000, S1100, and S1200 Thermostats are powered, follow the onscreen prompts. During setup, the thermostat will either prompt you to link to EIM or ask if you have an EIM. Follow the prompts to connect.

    See the Redlink Compatibility FAQ if you have questions.

  2. Touch and release the CONNECT button at the EIM when the thermostat prompts you. Make sure the “Connected” lights is flashing green. The EIM will continue to flash the connected light for 15 minutes and reset this timer every time a new Redlink 3.0 device is added.

    THM04R3000 EIM (Equipment Interface module)

    If the CONNECTED light does NOT flash green, another system may be in Listening Mode. Please exit Listening Mode on the other system and try again.

    • Green Flashing: In Listening Mode. System is ready to add Redlink 3.0 devices.

    • Green Steady: Redlink 3.0 devices are communicating.

    • Red: Redlink 3.0 device(s) are not communicating. Check EIM and Redlink devices.

  3. Return to the thermostat and touch Next (shown in the left image below).

  4. If adding additional Redlink 3.0 Accessories, select Add Another Device and follow the prompts on screen.

  5. Install batteries in Redlink 3.0 accessories.

    • Wireless Outdoor Sensor Redlink 3.0 C7089R3013

    • Wireless Indoor Sensor (C7189R3010)

  6. Connect each Redlink 3.0 accessory.

    Make sure Redlink 3.0 accessories are at least 2 feet away from the thermostat (or EIM, if used) during the linking process.

  7. While the “Connect Device” screen is displayed (Listening Mode), press and quickly release the CONNECT button on each new Redlink 3.0 accessory.

  8. After a short delay (up to 20 seconds), check the thermostat to confirm the connection of each Redlink 3.0 accessory.

    If adding a wireless indoor sensor or wireless outdoor sensor after the initial setup has been completed, go to Menu > Devices and Sensors, and select Add.

  9. Follow the instructions on thermostat screen. After each Redlink 3.0 accessory is added and any follow up questions are set, the thermostat will ask if you want to add another device or are done adding devices.

    Examples of follow up questions and instructions for the wireless indoor sensor shown below.

  10. Once all Redlink 3.0 accessories have been added and you have completed the on-screen follow-up questions and instructions, the display will say “Setup Complete". Select Done Adding Devices.

  11. The thermostat will guide you through doing the reset of the setup on device, or using the Resideo PRO app.


To Replace the Equipment Interface Module (EIM)

When you replace an EIM, you must reset the Redlink 3.0 accessories before connecting them to the new thermostat. Follow the instructions below:

At the Indoor Sensor or other Redlink 3.0 accessory:

Press and hold the CONNECT button on the accessory until the status light glows amber (hold for about 10 seconds). To reconnect the thermostat, go to Step 4.

At the thermostat:

Go to Installer Options, choose Reset, then Factory reset. This will clear the EIM and any other Redlink 3.0 devices from the ElitePRO™ Series Thermostat as well as the system settings. After doing Factory Reset, follow thermostat prompts to link new EIM and configure system settings.


To replace an ElitePRO™ Series Thermostat connected to an EIM

Press and hold the CONNECT button on the EIM until the connect light turns amber approximately 10 seconds. This should clear the EIM from the thermostat and any Redlink 3.0 accessories. Then it is ready to be connected to a new ElitePRO™ Series Thermostat using the original setup process.

The new ElitePRO™ Series Thermostat will also guide you through the setup steps during initial setup when you choose that you have an EIM.
