Wiring Notes

Conventional system

Alternate wiring (conventional systems)

  1. Remove metal jumper connecting R and Rc only if you must connect both R and Rc wires.
  2. f your old thermostat had both R and RH wires, remove metal jumper. Connect the R wire to the Rc terminal, and the RH wire to the R terminal.
  3. If your old thermostat had only 1 C or C1 wire, connect it to the C terminal. If your old thermostat had 2 C or C1 wires, wrap each separately with electrical tape and do not connect them.

Heat pump

Connect wires: Heat Pump

  1. Match each labeled wire with same letter on new thermostat.
  2. Use a screwdriver to loosen screws, insert wires into hole under screw, then tighten screws until wire is secure.
  3. If E and Aux do not each have a wire connected, use a small piece of wire to connect them to each other.
  4. Push any excess wire back into the wall opening.

Alternate wiring (heat pump system only)

  1. eave metal jumper in place, connecting R & Rc terminals.

  2. If your old thermostat had both V and VR wires, stop now and contact a
    qualified contractor for help.

  3. If your old thermostat had separate O and B wires, attach the B wire to
    the C terminal. If another wire is attached to the C terminal, stop now
    and contact a qualified contractor for help.

  4. If your old thermostat had Y1, W1 and W2 wires, stop now and contact
    a qualified contractor for help.

  5. If L terminal is used, C terminal wire must be connected (contact a
    contractor if there is no C wire).

  6. If E and Aux terminals do not each have a wire connected, use a small
    piece of wire to connect them to each other.
