INSTALLATION GUIDE REMOVING YOUR OLD THERMOSTAT Step 1: Switch off your HVAC system Before you start, please switch off your HVAC system to protect you and to avoid blowing a fuse. Wait a few minutes, then try to adjust the temperature of your old thermostat to verify that the system is off.
Page 11
INSTALLATION GUIDE Step 3: Compatibility check If you find a thick wire with wire nuts on the backplate of the old thermostat, or if the voltage of your old system is 120V or higher, it will not be compatible with WSC43BA. If none of the above is true, please proceed to the next step.
Page 12
INSTALLATION GUIDE Step 5: Label the wires with tags Label each wire on the wall-plate with the tags (label 1) provided, then carefully disconnect the wires. RC RH G Y1 Y2 W1W2 NOTE: If there are any jumper wires between Rh, Rc, or R terminals, do not label them.

INSTALLATION GUIDE 4.2.2 INSTALL THE THERMOSTAT WITHOUT A C-WIRE (OPTIONAL) WSC-PWRM Power Module (Not Included) Power module requires your system to have the following wires: • 4 wires: W/W1, Y/Y1, G, and R (or Rc or Rh) • Or 3 wires: Y/Y1, G, and R (or Rc or Rh) Y1 Y2 W1W2 RC RH G If you do not have these wires, your system may not be...
Page 19
INSTALLATION GUIDE Description: The C-wire is used to provide power to the thermostat. If your system does not have a C-wire, you can use the power module to power your thermostat, using the existing wires. For certain applications where more than just an additional C-wire is required, the addition of the power module may not be sufficient on its own.
