The common wire could be labeled “C”, “B” or “X” on the old thermostat. Please refer to the owner’s manual of the old thermostat.

What if I don’t have a common wire (c-wire)?

There are a few options if the application does not have or will not allow the pulling of a common wire (c-wire) through the wall.

  1. Look for an unused wire in the thermostat cable bundle

Do I need a RC/RH jumper?

No jumpers required

  • Sensi Touch Smart Thermostat has a built in RC/RH jumper, no need to field install a jumper
  • If you have separate wires to RC and RH terminals (two transformer systems)
    —­ Label the wires RC and RH separately and then clip the jumper wire on the Sensi back plate.

RC/RH jumper location

  • RC/RH jumper built-in on the back of the thermostat
