Wiring Chart 

For all systems, the following terminals are wired according to whether you 

have a single or dual transformer system as shown:

Caution: 

Electrical Hazard

All components of the control 

system and the thermostat 

installation must conform to 

Class II circuits per the NEC Code.

Warning:

Do not overtighten terminal 

block screws, as this can 

damage the terminal block.  

A damaged terminal block 

can keep the thermostat 

from fitting on the subbase 

correctly or cause system 

operation issues.

Installation Tip

Max Torque = 6in-lbs.

Wiring

If you are replacing a thermostat, 

make note of the terminal 

connections on the thermostat that 

is being replaced.  In some cases 

the wiring connections will not be 

color coded. For example, the 

green wire may not be connected 

to the 

G

 terminal.

Loosen the terminal block screws. 

Insert wires then retighten the 

terminal block screws.

Place nonflammable insulation into 

the wall opening to prevent drafts.

Wiring Tips

C Terminal

This thermostat requires a 24V 

common wire to the C terminal.

Wire Specifications

Use shielded or non-shielded 18-22 

gauge thermostat wire.

Failure to disconnect the power 

before beginning to install this 

product can cause electrical shock 

or equipment damage.

Note:

In many heat pump systems with 

no emergency heat relay, a jumper 

can be installed between 

E

 and 

W2

 to turn thermostat into a single 

stage control for Emergency Heat 

Operation.

FAILURE TO REMOVE PROVIDED JUMPER ON DUAL TRANSFORMER INSTALLATIONS 

COULD CAUSE SEVER DAMAGE TO HVAC SYSTEMS

The following terminals on the thermostat wallplate are wired 

according to the type of HVAC system connected to and how the 

thermostat is configured.

Devices such as a float switch that mechanically break circuits should 

be installed so that they break the control wire (Y) not the power (R). 

Interrupting the power circuit will shut off power to the thermostat 

completely and not allow it to operate.
