STEP 4. WIRE WALLPLATE TERMINALS
IMPORTANT
All wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances. If
unsure about household wiring procedures, call your local
heating/air-conditioning contractor.
Refer to the labels you placed on the wires when you removed the
old thermostat (see illustration).
❑
Match the letter of your old thermostat wire with the corresponding
terminal letter on your new thermostat. Refer to Table 2.
❑
Remove the factory-installed jumper connecting terminals R and
RC if wires are connected to both of those terminals.
❑
For wiring diagrams, if needed, see pp 21-22.
❑
Loosen the terminal screws. Slip each wire beneath its matching
terminal. Wraparound and straight connections are both
acceptable, (see illustration). Tighten the terminals.
❑
Plug the hole in the wall with insulation to help prevent drafts from adversely affecting thermostat operation.
