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 and need one?

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 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 back of the Sensi face plate.
