Setup Instructions
Follow the steps below to remove your existing thermostat and prepare for thermostats installation by identifying all wires via the procedure below.
Turn off power to the HVAC system. Usually at the HVAC system or the circuit breaker panel.
Remove cover of old thermostat to expose the wiring terminals.
Take a picture of the wiring terminals! This will help with troubleshooting later if needed.
Mark the wires attached to the terminals with the wiring labels included.
Use the terminal labels and not the wiring color to mark the wires.
Remove the old thermostat base.
Mount the thermostat base to the wall using the wall anchors and screws provided. Level as needed.
Proceed to the installation steps for your system type.
Connect the wires according to the HVAC system type as shown.
R vs RC and RH Connections:
Single Transformer HVAC Systems. Typical modern central HVAC installations have a integrated heating and cooling system with a single 24VAC transformer. For these systems, there is only one 24VAC “R” wire and it can connect to either the RC or RH terminal on the thermostat. The thermostat is supplied with an RC-RH jumper installed. Do not remove the jumper for common transformer HVAC systems.
If you have additional wires for 2 stage systems (W2, Y2), Continue wiring as shown. Otherwise, proceed to Finish Wiring.
Connect the wires according to the HVAC system type as shown.
