Wiring for AxLink
Follow these steps to connect the wiring into a captive-wire connector:
1.
Strip 1/4 inch off the wire insulation for all four wires.
2.
Tin 2/3 of the exposed wire.
3.
Insert each wire into the appropriate captive-wire connector up to the
insulation.
4.
Tighten the captive screws to secure the fit in the connector.
Use 18 AWG wire to connect the AxLink wiring from the thermostat to the
connector on the AxLink device as shown in FIG. 2.

AxLink wiring
Note:
The ViewStat Color Communicating Thermostat interfaces with a 24
VAC power supply from the heating/cooling unit through its RC terminal. You
should not connect the power wiring from the AxLink device to the thermostat
with the intent of using the AxLink device to provide power to the thermostat.
The L1 terminal on the thermostat can accept the 12VDC wire and you
can connect the wire to the terminal if you want to assure there are no loose
wires inside the thermostat, but you should not power the thermostat by
running a jumper to the RC pin.
Wiring Diagrams
ViewStat Color Communicating Thermostats are equipped with terminals RC,
RH, C, Y, W, G, O, B, S1, S2, L1, L2, L3, and L4. You can use terminals S1 and
S2 to accomodate a remote temperature sensor. Terminals L1-L4 connect to
the AxLink cable. The remaining terminals are used to control various types of
heating and cooling systems. You can use the thermostat with the following
types of heating and cooling systems:
•
Single Stage Furnace and Single Stage A/C
•
Dual Stage Furnace and Dual Stage A/C
•
Roof Top Unit with Dual Stage Heat and Dual Stage Cool
•
Boiler with A/C with Separate Transformers
•
Single Stage Heat Pump
•
Two Stage Heat Pump
•
First Stage Radiant Floor Heat, Second Stage Furnace One Stage of
Cooling

The thermostat automatically defaults to One Stage Furnace for the HVAC
System setting when you install it. For information about changing the HVAC
System setting, consult the
Changing the Type of HVAC System
section in the
