Reference the Detailed Wire Diagram on page 23 to identify your
wiring diagram and set-up information . If necessary, contact
customer support for help .
1 . Connect a labeled wire only to a matching lettered terminal .
2 . Press the lever next to the terminal letter, then insert the wire in
the terminal well .
3 . Make sure to insert the wire into the terminal well as far as it will
go, then release the lever . The wire should be secure and not pull
free easily .
The Thermostat can be externally powered with a power
source rated from 12V to 24V, AC or DC, at 100ma or
greater . If used, connect to the C and RH terminals (no
polarity) .
The 24VAC "C" wire is the other side of the 24VAC heating
transformer and can be found where the other thermostat
wires connect at the wall or at the furnace . Do not use the
common or ground side of the line voltage .
The Thermostat runs on 4 AA alkaline batteries, the C wire
(if available), or both batteries and the C-wire . If you do not
have a C wire, you can run a new wire from the HVAC or
use a standard 12-24V [AC or DC] wall transformer .
The C-wire is optional but preferred for all installations .
