Before you disconnect the wires and remove your existing thermostat, be sure this new thermostat, see the CT70 wiring hookup diagram, will replace it and that you understand how you will reconnect the wiring. To do that, proceed as follows:...

HEAT PUMPS ARE DIFFERENT Heat pump systems usually have a supplemental, Second Stage heating system that operates only when necessary. This heat pump thermostat is designed to minimize more expensive second- stage operation, indicated by the green AUX. HEAT light on your thermostat.
OUTDOORS OUTDOOR HEAT TRANSFER During high heat demand, the thermostat will call for additional Second Stage power from the auxiliary heat system. This auxiliary heat is commonly electric resistance heat and is two to three times more expensive to operate than the compressor.
DEFINITIONS OF TERMINAL FUNCTIONS Each terminal of the CT70 controls a different heat pump function. Here is a list of the possible heat pump functions: Function FIRST STG. HEAT: AUXILIARY HEAT: FIRST STG. COOL: COMPRESSOR: C/O VALVE HEAT: C/O VALVE COOL: EM.

This terminal is activated when additional auxiliary heat loads are required. Because the CT70 only has provisions for one auxiliary heat load, these loads must be connected to the AUXILIARY HEAT terminal. This terminal is not connected to the CT70.
