Take a picture of how your wiring
looks right now.
Be sure to include the letters next
to the terminals where the wires
are inserted. This will be a helpful
reference when wiring your new
thermostat.
Tip: If the color of your wires has
faded or if 2 terminals have the
same wire color, use the wire labels
provided in the package to label
each wire.

Record which R-wire(s) you have and write down the color of the wire(s).

Record the remaining wires and write down the color of the wires.
Check mark the wires that are connected to terminals. Next to the check mark,
write down the color of the wire. Do not include jumpers as a part of your
count.
Check all that apply (Not all will apply):
Terminal Wire Color
Y
G
C
NOTES:
C does not power the thermostat display or operations; batteries are
•
always required.
• If K was used on old thermostat you have a C-wire adapter at the
equipment. Re-wiring would need to be done so that Y and G are used
instead of K.
• The RTH5160 thermostat does not support L/A, S, or U terminals.
If there are wires in terminals that are not listed, you will need
•
additional wiring support. Visit honeywellhome.com/support to find out
if the thermostat will work for you.
