Heat Pump HVAC System Connections
Note:
For typical connections to a Heat Pump HVAC system, refer to the diagram on
The lower section shows
HEAT PUMP HVAC
terminal connections. The upper section shows the
STANDARD HVAC
terminal connections.

Figure 10.
Heat Pump HVAC System Thermostat Terminal Block Connections
Connect the wires from the HVAC system to the corresponding terminals on the thermostat back
terminal block. Use the table below as a guideline for connecting the wires.
Wire
Terminal
Y1
Connect to the Y1 terminal
Y2
Connect if a 2 stage system
G
Connect to the G terminal
RC
Connect to either R terminal
C
Connect to the C terminal. The C wire (24VAC common) Heat Pump systems typically
have the C wire connected to the thermostat. If there is no
C
wire, batteries MUST be
installed.
W1
Connect to the W1 terminal
O/B
Connect to the O terminal. Heat Pump setup must set changeover valve to correct
O
or
B
setting (See
).
Notes:
Ensure that the appropriate wires are screwed into the terminal blocks firmly.
Gently pull on the wires to confirm the connection.
Push
all excess wiring back into the wall opening.
Dual Transformer Systems
For HVAC systems that have separate heating and cooling systems with their own 24VAC transformers,
there is an “R” wire from the heating system and an “R” wire from the cooling system.
For dual transformer systems, connect the “C” wire from the
cooling
system to the thermostat’s “C”
terminal.
DO NOT CONNECT THE “C” WIRE FROM THE HEATING SYSTEM.
IMPORTANT:
Remove the Jumper connecting RC and RH terminals (see illustration below).
