Use the diagrams below when making the power connections be-

tween the thermostat and CLI-REL1AUX1 climate module.

When making connections, follow the guidelines set below to ensure a 

safe and secure connection

Use the diagrams below when making connections to a piece of 

equipment such as a humidifier, dehumidifier, or external vent damper.

Use the diagrams below when making connections between the relay 

outputs and the connections at the HVAC equipment.

Additional Information

Relay Connections

 

– Max cable length is 1000 feet (304.8 meters).

 

– Savant recommends using standard RS-485 cable for wire runs.

 

– The auxiliary relay does not have a voltage connected to it. There-

fore an external source connected in series with the equipment is 

required.

 

– Use only HVAC approved wiring to make the connections.

 

– The Common wire connection is made through the power wire 

connections. This is shown in the Power Connections diagram to 

the left.

 

– Power can be daisy-chained between modules.

 

– The cable lengths vary depending on the size of the wire. See the 

specifications table on page 1 for more information.

 

– Power applied across the C and RH terminals will power the mod-

ule and supply voltage to relays W1, W2, and O.

 

– Add a jumper between the RH and RC terminal to supply power to 

the Y1, Y2, and G relays. If separate power supplies for heating and 

cooling are available and you would like to use that power, do not 

install jumper. Instead, connect the transformer from the cooling 

equipment between the RC and C terminal.

1.  With a small slotted screwdriver, turn 

the screws on the connector coun-

terclockwise (CCW) until the silver 

crimps open enough to slide a wire 

into the square slots.

2.  Strip back insulation on each wire to 

1

/4

 

inch and insert the stripped wire 

into the proper connection.

3.  Turn the screw clockwise (CW) until 

the crimps tighten around each wire. 

Tug on each wire a bit to verify they 

are secure.
