Removing your old thermostat

You will need: Screwdriver, needle-nose pliers

1. Turn off power
   To protect your equipment, turn off the power at the breaker box or switch that controls you heating and cooling equipment.
   Note: The thermostat off switch will not turn off the power to the equipment.

2. Check that your system is off
   Change the temperature on your old thermostat so that your system starts heating or cooling.
   If you don’t hear or feel the system turn on within 5 minutes, the power is off.
   Note: If you have a digital thermostat that has a blank display, skip this step.

3. Remove your existing thermostat from the wall plate
   On most thermostats, you can take off the thermostat by grasping and gently pulling. Some thermostats may have screws, buttons, or clasps.
   Do not remove any wires from your thermostat at this time! Compatibility Check

4. Do you have a line voltage system?
   Line voltage systems have thick black wires with wire nuts or are labeled high voltage (120V or higher).
   YES
   Your system is not compatible. Go to honeywellhome.com/contacta- pro to find a pro installer in your area.
   NO
   Continue to the next step.

5. Take a picture of your existing wall plate’s wiring
   In order to capture all of the letters next to the terminals, be sure to take multiple pictures from different angles.
   You may need to reference this image later.

6. Remove any jumpers
   A jumper is used to connect two terminals. It may look like a small staple or a colored wire.
   Do not discard.
   Keep jumpers with your old wall plate.

7. Label the wires
   Use the stickers provided with your new thermostat to label each wire on your existing wall plate.
   Do not label jumpers. Your new thermostat does not need jumpers.

8. Write down the colors of the wires
   Check the boxes and write down the color of the wires connected to terminals that are coming from the wall. Check all that apply (not all will apply). * A C-wire or C-Wire Power Adapter (included) is required.
   ** The T9 Smart thermostat cannot control equipment wired to U1 or U2.
   If there are wires in terminals that are not listed, you will need additional wiring support. Visit HoneywellHome.com/support to find out more.

9. Disconnect the wires and remove the old wall plate
   You may need a screwdriver to release wires from terminals.
   Tip: Wrap the wires around a pencil to prevent them from falling in the wall. Compatibility Check

10. Do you have a C-Wire?
    Look at the thermostat wiring checklist from Step 8, or the photo you took. Is the C-Terminal checked?
    YES
    This means you will not need to install the included C-Wire Adapter. Skip to Installing Your New Thermostat (page 9).
    NO
    This means you don’t have a C-wire connected to your thermostat. Continue to the next step.
    Only complete this section if you answered No to Step 10
    Connecting Your Unused C-Wire
    You will need: Screwdriver, flashlight, wire strippers
    Compatibility Check

11. Do you have a zoning panel?
    You have a zoning panel if you have multiple thermostats and one furnace or heating system.
    YES
    C-Wire Adapter installation is more complicated on zoned systems. Go to Honeywellhome.com/contact-a-pro to find a pro installer in your area.
    NO
    Proceed to the next step.

12. Do you have an unused wire?
    Look at the bundle of wires coming from the wall.
    Note: You may have to pull the bundle of wires out from the wall to find the unused wire.
    YES
    Continue to Step 13.
    NO
    Open the included C-Wire Adapter box and follow the instruction guide.

13. Label unused wire
    Label your unused wire with the provided “C” sticker label. You may need to use a wire stripper to expose at least 1/4 inch of the wire.
    Note : If you have multiple unused wires, then label only one wire and make note of the color here:
    Go to your furnace or heating system
    This system is often located in your basement, attic or garage. Bring a flashlight and screwdriver.

14. Remove cover from furnace or heating system
    Open the heating and cooling system’s cover to find the control board. You should see the same terminal labels that are on your thermostat.
    Note : You may need to unscrew the cover. The control board may be at the top or bottom. 

15. Find the other end of the unused wire
    Locate the bundle of wires that are the same as the ones at your thermostat.  The unused wire should be the same color as the one near your existing thermostat. See Step  13 for the color you wrote down.

16. Connect the unused wire to the C-terminal
    Note: If there are existing wires in the C-terminal, make sure they are still connected to the C-terminal after connecting this wire.

17. Close the cover to the furnace or heating system
    Be sure the cover is completely closed.
    Some systems will not power up if the cover isn’t fully closed.
    You’ve connected the C-wire.
    You will NOT need to use the included C-Wire Adapter.
    Go back to the wall where you are installing your thermostat and continue to “Installing Your New Thermostat” on the next page.
    Installing Your New Thermostat
    You will need: Level, pencil, drill, and a drill bit

18. Position wall plate
    Pull open the wall plate that was included with your new thermostat. Insert the bundle of wires through the back of the wall plate.
    Make sure at least 1/4-inch of each wire is exposed for easy insertion into the wire terminals.

19. Insert recommended wall anchors
    It is recommended that you use the wall anchors included in the box to mount your thermostat.
    You can use the wall plate to mark where you want to place the wall anchors.
    a) Level the wall plate
    b) Mark the location of the wall anchors using a pencil
    c) Remove the wall plate
    d) Drill anchor holes.
    If your box contains red anchors, drill 7/32” holes.
    If your box contains yellow anchors, drill 3/16” holes.
    e) Insert the wall anchors
    f) Make sure the anchors are flush with the wall
    g) Reposition the wall plate on wall

20. Determine Correct R-Switch Position and Insert R-wire or wires
    Set the R-switch up or down based on your wiring notes in Step 8. Insert wires into the inner holes of the terminals on the wall plate. The tabs will stay down once the wire is inserted.
    If you have 1 R-Wire (R, RC, RH):
    1. Ensure the right R-switch is in the up position.
    2. Insert your R-wire (R, Rh or Rc) into R-terminal.
    OR
    If you have 2 R-Wires (R, RC, RH):
    1. Set the right R-switch to the down position.
    2. Insert your Rc wire into Rcterminal.
    3. Insert your R or Rh wire into R-terminal.

21. Connect remaining wires from Step 8
    Push down on the tabs to put the wires into the inner holes of their corresponding terminals on the wall plate (one wire per terminal) until it is firmly in place.
    Gently tug on the wires to verify they are secure.
    Tip: If you need to release the wires again, push down the terminal tabs on the sides of the wall plate.
    This wiring is just an example, actual wiring may vary.

22. Close the door and mount the wall plate
    Mount the wall plate using the provided screws. Install all three screws for a secure fit on your wall.
    Tip: Prior to tightening the screws, use a level to ensure the wall plate is level.

23. Attach your thermostat
    Align the thermostat on the wall plate and firmly snap it into place.
    Go back to your circuit breaker box.

24. Turn the power back on
